Holding up his hands to show he didn't mean any harm, Cole nodded at the statue " Hey there little guy." He sees it looking at the lighter and moves to flick it shut " I'll keep that away if it bothers you." He looks a bit closer at the Charmander, wondering why the Golett was holding it while it slept " Is your friend alright?" 14 intuition and 8 charm

Kai's light shines first on a little mole, which dives back into the ground at the brightness, before illuminating a four-armed boulder just looking at him.
The Golett swivels carefully to try move the Charmander away from Cole without waking the lizard up, but it apparently isn't successful, because the little lizard groggily blinks awake and begins to stretch. The statue looks back at Cole and seems to glare, before dropping its eyes into a universal sigh position.

"Oh, uh, hi there!" Kai was probably a bit louder than he needed to be, but the rock had scared him. Sounds in the dark were far spookier than they really were. He relaxed a bit at just seeing what it was. "Sorry if I startled you, wasn't trying to!"He pointed the lower, so as to make sure not to hit the Graveller's eyes too much. If it lived in the dark, it probably didn't need light shining at it anyways. He held his other hand up, showing it was empty as he approached it slowly. "I keep forgetting about the differences, you're a bit lighter than the Alola one in color. It's kinda neat how different you are!"He tries to get close enough to touch it, he was pretty fascinated by the differences of Alola forms and the apparent normal ones. He'd seen a few Graveller before, but not really up close. Charm: 23

Cole frowned as he accidentally woke up the Charmander. He keeps his hands raised while he softly talks "I didn't mean to cause you to wake the little guy. Here" He slowly reaches down into his pack and pulls out a small jar with some berry puree "I'm not sure what type of food your friend would like, but just about everyone likes the taste of Oren Berries"

Kai
Kai's voice echoes through the cave, causing more stirring noises eleswhere. The rock seems more hesitant than anything else, and bats his hand away when he moves to touch it. It's not a hard slap, but one that seems to possibly imply grumpiness. Maybe at being woken up this late.
From the sounds by his feet, the mole has popped its head and claws up again.
Cole
The Charmander, after stretches, seems to start crying a little bit, but stops and perks up at the smell of the berries. The Golett looks at it sniffing towards the food and clawing out with tiny hands, then at Cole, hen at the food, before slowly holding the lizard out towards the food. Its face seems to read 'do not try anything'.

"Oh, Sorry again." Kai tries to keep his voice down, guessing it didn't like him being loud so late. He looks down out of embarrassment, seeing the mole that he got a glimpse of seems to have risen back up.
"Well, another face I see. Did I annoy you by being loud too?" He kneels down to get closer to it, his hand reaching down slowly to try and pet the mole as well. Maybe if the Graveller saw what he wanted, it would be amicable to him petting it later. "You are a cute little thing, Do you like living in the caves here? Or are you an explorer?"

Cole smirks as he holds the food closer to the baby " So you're this little ones guardian aye?" he clacks his teeth together for a moment as he thinks " You know, if you want the two of you could come with me. I'm pretty good at keeping people fed. The loud one back there can attest to that" He gestures backwards with his head towards Kai, hoping the other boy was still alright.

Kai
The mole seems a lot less grumpy than the Graveler, and acquiesces to some petting giving some contented mole-y noises. It makes a non-committal sounding response to Kai's query. The specifics could probably only be understood by another mole.
The Graveler mostly just stands, watching the proceedings, both pairs of arms folded.
Cole
The Golett seems hesitant, but, the Charmander eagerly buries its face into the food... for a time, it seems as though it may not even come up for air.
At last, though, it does, before throwing its hands in the air, and letting out a cheerful noise. The Golett quickly brings a finger to the Charmander's mouth, and it bites down on that, but quiets down. The lizard looks back at the food, and Cole, and reaches over for him. The Golett seems to just give a shrug at the Trainer, looking down at presumably its ward.

Cole gently takes the baby Charmander and carefully holds it, giving it a bit more of the food at the same time. As he's cradling it, he gives the Golett a smile
"You are doing a good job though. I promise I'll help keep the little one safe. What do you say?" Cradling the Charmander in one arm, he pulls out his last two Pokeballs and holds them out towards the Golett

Kai gave a nod to the mole, not really understanding what it meant but guessing it was something. He turned his eyes to the rock, eyeing it up a little. "How about you, Want to travel the world or stay in this cave? Cause if you wanna travel!" His voice picked up again as he put his flashlight down, pulling out two pokeballs from his jacket and showing them to the two. "I can take you along!"

KaiThe mole skitters out of the beam of the flashlight as Kai puts it down, but seems eager to travel. The rock appears a little more hesitant, but there is maybe something underneath. It's hard to tell, because it seems like it wants to stat gruff and aloof. But, in the end, both touch the Pokéballs. You caught a Drilbur!

The Charmander looks a little distressed at the Golett disappearing, and upon being proffered the ball, tries to wrap itself around it, before being sucked in as well. You caught a Shiny Charmander!

"Alright! You good to head back Cole?" Kai should have been a bit quieter, but he just got two new Pokemon, and while he was excited about one more than the other, they both were pretty interesting.
He jogged on over to Cole, making sure they were in talking distance so he could hear the answer. "I caught some things, so I'm good to go!"

Cole pockets both of his new Pokemon, making a mental note to stop by the Mart before they left town "Yeah. I got something that should be a big help in the Gym tomorrow. Wish I had found something for Theo, but both of my new friends seem a little attached, one to me and one to the other"
With that he followed Kai out, letting the other boy use his flashlight now instead of going by lighter light.

Kai's loudness seems to disturb a Pokémon off in the distance, as it begins to cry, but, if the two want to make it back before the morning, they really need to start heading back now.
As it is, the sun (though early because of the season) is just starting to rise into the sky above the mountains to the east where they'd come from when they get back to the Center. The Gym won't open for another threeish hours, so, in theory the two could catch a quick nap, but they're sure not getting a full night's rest.
In the morning, the girls seem to have decided to let Ruby sleep, since she's not up with the others for breakfast and Training.

Theodore is up bright and early, he really is the type for a hard day's work and early to bed/rise. After being disturbed by the Pokemon thieves a few nights back he hadn't quite caught up on his rest, but a pleasant evening with Ayah before bed had helped.
Breakfast was a jovial affair, and he ate well, though seemed keen to avoid greens in the meal. A habit he had displayed a few times now. Afterwards it was training, Six seemed to be a bit harder to put through his paces with vastly more energy than he had previously. "So how do we figure which group of us goes first? If we fight for it I figure we know how that goes and have to wait for later anyway. Less you girls will give us a handicap of going first." He smiled.

"You all can go, I guess," Evelyn says, shrugging. "Ruby seems like she really needs sleep, and I don't blame her, so we'll be waiting until she gets up anyways."

Kai is feeling the ache of sleep wanting to take him, but perseveres thanks to his excitement. He was really eager to start teaching his new Pokemon the first step to dancing. He ate light, Just a granola bar and some juice. He didn't want to feel sluggish and tired, that's not a winning combination.
Training is a mix mash of most of his party figuring things out. The two new members getting some lessons on how to properly spin and pirouette. He made sure to switch Pokemon out a run through some drills for most of his team.
"Yeah,Thanks for letting us go first. I'm gonna pass out after this, win or lose. Though it was definitely worth it for my new buddies!" He yawned after he talked, scowling as he realized what he did.

"Guess that'll give me a bit of time to maybe pop on back home and say hi to Ma, if'n you and Cole are gonna catch up on the rest you skipped last night. Was it worth it at least?" He asked Kai with a grin, drumming on Magnificent's belly, the Alolan Exeggutor towering over the training space.

Cole had dark circles under his eyes, and he mostly grunted until he had drank a significant amount of coffee, not something he had done before. At least not since he had stayed up all night before tests. Looks like its just an effect Rustboro had on him. However he didn't let it slow down his training, keeping even his new catches on track with his team.
"Totally worth it. I'm way more ready for" A large yawn breaks his thought "Sorry about that. Yeah, totally more ready for this. But the quicker we win the quicker I can pass out. So like Kai said, thanks for letting us go first"

Wrapping up training, the trio heads from the Center, over to the Rustboro Gym. It seems as if they won't have to wait, because the Gym is open, and there's nothing barring the path to walking in. It's quiet, footsteps echoing around a large, dim, cavernous chamber, that somewhat resembles the tunnel that Cole and Kai were in last night.
Sitting on the other end, illuminated in a shaft of light is a woman in a dress, with brown hair flourished in loops. She seems to be preoccupied reading a book, but snaps it shut as soon as the three make it to the center of the Gym. She stands up, her voice echoing around the cavern. "Welcome, challengers," she says, "I am Roxanne, Leader of this Gym here. My chosen specialty is Rock. Rock can be practical, or it can be decorative. But, in whatever form it is, it is durable. It can be shaped, but if you try and smash through it, it will resist you. So, do not think that you will easily be able to win here. I will test your skills and abilities, and see if you are worthy of progressing."
She steps forwards, before peering at the three Trainers before her. Or, rather, one specifically. "Cole Eld, correct?" She asks. "It has been a bit. I do seem to recall you having a fair bit of fire in you during your time at the School. It just required a little bit more honing. I look forwards to seeing what you have to show." She pulls a little electronic device out of her pockets, and glances at it, before twiddling with a dial and putting it back. "Ah, excellent. I see that you've all already passed the test of one Gym. So I can test you with a little bit more power." she clears her throat. "This will be a battle with six Pokémon per side. Three can be out at once, no more than one per challenger. The Pokémon do not need to be determined until release, at which point it is locked in towards the six. Once all six Pokémon on one side are unable to continue battling, the other side will win."
"Do you have any further questions?" Roxanne asks. "If not, I would have one of my own for you, before we begin our battle. What, to you, is the most important aspect of Pokémon battling?"
