They wandered around for a while. Eventually, they found a tunnel in the ground- or rather, Charles nearly fell in it. A ladder led downwards.
"I dunno, there's something weird about it. I've been in these caves before, and I don't think I've ever seen them so... deserted. As much as I hate Zubat, it's kind of unsettling."
Greg looks down the hole.
"Who wants to go first?"
"Well, perhaps the reason will be made clear going in." Ray said. Seeing the ladder. "I suppose we should go in one at a time. Jackie, you seem a logical first choice."
"Sure. I don't mind." She descended the ladder, followed by Brandon, then Mercer.
Snow rode on his back and Dynamo climbed down
"As soon as you confirm it's safe, the rest of us will come down." Ray said. "Phillip turn up your ember so Jackie can see better down there. Wait Charles, you sh- oh what's the use."
Down at the bottom of the ladder, everything is still. Disturbingly so, in fact. Rocks lie everywhere, scattered against walls, on the ground, even shattered against the roof and impaled on stalagmites and stalactites.
Oh, wait, those are Geodude, not rocks.
(Thought he was off of the ladder. Sorry!)
"Is it safe?" asked Ray in a tentative voice, trying to peer down.
Greg descends the ladder carefully, with Chitter resting on his head and Littorio on his backpack.
Ray came down as well as Phillip hopped into his open backpack and Castle returned to his pokeball, brought back out once they Ray hit ground.
Ray sighed. Geodudes. They might have been a useful addition but his current team was woefully unprepared to go against one.
"So, uh..." Carrie whispered as she peered down the hole. "...Can we... not piss off the sleeping Geodudes? Please?" An image of Charles running through the cavern, banging an inexplicable pair of pots together and whooping flashed through her mind. "I'm not sure about this."
"Charles, take my hand." Ray said gently.
Ray nodded. "Alright." he said. "We'll trust your judgment, but let's all tread carefully. Carrie, Greg, are you ready?"
Carrie descended the ladder as carefully as she could. "...Yeah."
Snow nervously kept an eye out for anything
Greg nods and follows carefully.
Ray gingerly stepped around the geodudes with Phillip helping to light his way.
"Hey, uh... You guys?" Carrie's eyes darted from side to side, and she slowed to a halt.
"These Geodude... I, uh... I don't think they're asleep."
Greg, wondering what Carrie means, looks back and forth, then suddenly stops walking.
