"That's.... my bad" Tommy says to Moe while still trying to twist the blinking device apart. Bepo rushes to crier's side to help hold up the camera while letting out 'kip's with every flash but stops dead in his tracks causing Crier to unload a burst of flashes in the direction of what seemed to be a big slump of fur in the distance. Bepo slightly slaps Crier with his tailfin to halt the snap shots but it was already to late since the slump of fur had started to shake.
The Ursaring lifts his head looking at Crier and Bepo while letting out a yawn before slowly rolling over and scratching its belly and falling back asleep. Bepo looks at Crier and let's out another kip before running back over to Tommy's side. "What? You writing a book?" The old man says chuckling away at his own joke still leading them through the forrest. "I ended up stranded down here after I twisted my ankle up something fierce and ended up trapped down here" 'BANG' "but I cant complain" the old man says bending down to pet a Rattata 'BANG' "this underground forest or whatever is dam well near a paradise... 'BANG'... What the hell are ya making all that noise for!?" The old man says snapping at Tommy who had been trying to break his device open on a tree.
"The casing.. 'Bang'
..... is pretty durable...'Bang'...
and thanks to goliath over there, it wont open" Tommy says finally giving up. The Ferligatr let's out a slight growl at Tommy unsure if he was being insulted but assumed he was anyway. The old man leads them to a small section of the woods that had been turned into a camp site "take a seat" the old man says leading them over to a camp fire that was surrounded by a few make shift chairs made out of tree stumps. Tommy let's out a deep breath while taking a seat and tossing the device on the ground causing the outer casing to pop open. "So What brings you two here anyway?" The old man says grabbing a wooded bowl of berries and setting it down on one of the stumps for the pokemon.
"Some fairytale" Tommy says pulling out a crystal that he couldn't help but pick up in the cave while he held it up to look watch the light reflect off of it. The old man looks at Tommy with an amused look "In my own salvation and your eternal slumber" The old man says quoting an old fairytale that had been around since he was young.
"Legend speaks, quietly, but surely" Tommy says finishing the quote making the old man lauph as he nodded his head in approval.
"Test? Catch a pokemon? What are you talking about?" The old man says oveheaing Moe's question.
"Your looking at Leoluna's next top gym leaders, and our first test is to catch a pokemon which sounds kinda an Insult in my opinion" Tommy says with confidence while Bepo lets out a Kip with already with a mouth full of berries only to spit the berries out turning to see the Frogadier from eailer helping his self to some berries.
"I guess your right" Tommy says answering Moe while thinking about it
"Never really considered Capta....." Before Tommy could finish his sentence, Flap pops out of his pokeball and flops on the ground letting out Panic Karps when he sees the fish cooking over the fire.
"Chill out bud" Tommy says trying to call him back but kept missing since he kept flopping back and forth. When Tommy's Magikarp spots the Ferligatr its eyes had slowly turned aggressive before suddenly bouncing in the air
" hey! shii.." Tommy quickly dashes forward catching Flapp when he finally came back down
"come on man" Tommy says letting out a relieved sigh
"Relax will ya, hes cool " Tommy says getting Flapp back into his pokeball.
"Well I suggest you pick a town up north" The old man says tending to the cooked fish.
"You sound like you don't miss it" Tommy says retaking his seat while taking one of the sticks with a fish on the end. "Well, I have my reasons" The old man says grumbling while he added more wood to the fire.
"Your going to have to deal with it old man, because I already have our ticket out of here" Tommy says turning on the device and turning it on but turns it back off when the old man had yelled at him.
"what's wrong?" Tommy says not knowing what he did wrong. "If that thing is going to bring more people here, don't turn it on" The old man says using an angered tone making the Ferligtr growl.
"Alright,Fine" Tommy says holding up his hands while tossing the device into the fire
"Looks like we figure another way" Tommy says rubbing the back of his neck. "Look, I didn't say you two were trapped here, your free to leave, I'll show you the tunnel"
"how long is the tunnel?" "A few yards, but with those gadgets of yours, I'm sure it will be no problem for you two, just follow the tunnel" The old man says making Tommy look down at his rebreather.
"Well that's out of that sucks" Tommy says trying to think while he looked down at his watch.
Making the old man says already knowing that Tommy was still thinking of a plan to get him out with them. "I appreciate the thought kid, but I would rather be left down here than turning this place into the next Leoluna tourists attraction, alot of the pokemon that live in this forest was here way before I even found this place, I won't be responsible for ruining there home just because some pompous fool wants to build a playground for his little demon"
"Then keep your trap shut when we get out of here" Tommy says eating his fish making the old man look at Tommy in awe
"We only have two rebreathers, and I don't think they have enough power for two trips, so let's just go back the way we came in" Tommy says making the old man laugh.
"Right" Tommy says standing back up while stretching still with his fish on stick in his hand.
"Make your peace with this place old man, I'll start working on our escape plan" Tommy says turning his head to look at the Ferligatr before the two share an award stare down for a few seconds
"awww come on buddy" Tommy says as the Ferligatr shakes Moes pokemon off his head and begins walking away with Tommy following him into the forest.
"Dont be like that, I didn't mean any thing by that pokeball" "Your friend there is something else" The old man says taking a seat and watching as the two disssaper into the forest "I'm sure you two will make fine Gymleaders when you get out of here" He says examing Crier before looking over at Moe's aipom "might as well make your self comfortable, If he thinks Ol boy is going to help, heh, I'm sure he'll be back soon"
