Theo's ball snaps shut around the second flying rock, and the falls quiet down. Belle seems to huff at Theo for a moment for some reason, but smiles back, and begins to walk over towards Cole.

The Zubat seems to be making screeching sounds, and flying around, but it's not attacking his face anymore, at least. It's intermittently screaming at him for some reason, though, even if it doesn't quite seem to be in anger?
The Bagon perks up at the mention of 'fly', as it licks its lips and sniffs around for more meat. It also hops around and peers at Cole from all angles, as though looking for wings on him.

"Yeah, I can't quite get what's wrong, but if you aren't attacking..." Kai trails off as he pulls out his flashlight, turning it on so he can see if there was something inside it was trying to warn him about, because outside that he had no clue what the bat might want...aside from maybe food? He didn't have any on him, since he let the Corphish on the beach eat all of his snacks and trail food.

Picking his way back down to sit with Cole, Theodore looked between him and the Bagon. "New fan of yer cooking?" He beamed. "Were a couple of floating rocks up there baiting your boy off the cliff, but we showed'em what fer. You are welcome to one if'n you want, might help against th'next Gym."

Cole smiled and shook his head "Nah, I appreciate it, but I think I'll do fine with what I have. Chicory should be able to hand it, and this little one if they decide to come with me" He reached behind himself and moved the Bagon ahead of him, giving it another piece of meat as he did so "No wings here little one. I'm landlocked but you won't be"
He pulled out an empty Pokeball and placed it near the Bagon "Well, if you want to come with my normally, hop on in there. If not.....well I'd really like you to come with me, so I don't wanna think about that"
He turned back to Theo "Were you able to see Kai from over there? I feel like running off on his own might have been a bad idea"

Kai
Looking around with his flashlight, Kai sees... not a whole lot. A sleeping bat here or there, hanging off the ceiling, but there's really not much of interest. There's a path further on in, leading to more lit areas of the falls, but it seems that this is mostly just an arch rather than a proper cave.
The active bat seems to have calmed down a little bit more, though, now just fluttering mostly in place, still intermittently screeching at him, though.
Cole and Theo
Rather than doing anything with the Pokéball, or even really looking at it, the Bagon instead lets out a great yawn, and basically flops onto the ground, apparently asleep on the spot. It seems that plummeting down and walking back up cliffs all day is a very tiring thing, and this break in routine probably finally let the adrenaline rush or whatever fade away.
Belle walks over to glance at the now-snoring dragon, curious. The Kirlia sort of glides around it, apparently unafraid to get close, despite the snarling noises it seems to be making in its sleep.

Kai considers walking onward, it's not like there's much here in this one cave aside from the bats. He looked over at the one screeching at him, he still didn't know what it wanted...
"I don't think that you want to come with me, but it couldn't hurt to ask" He mumbles to himself as his free hand reaches into his pockets, pulling out a basic ball and holding it up. "If you want, here you go. I don't mind having another friend along." He flashed a smile, but then blushed as he remembered it was blind. He moved it a little close to the bat, making sure it could get a better idea what it was. It had something that let it know what was around.

"Take a rest here with Cole and his friend Belle, I'll go take a peek around for Kai." Theodore trudged on down the the bottom of the cave, and began checking the darkened nooks where he thought he'd seen Kai go last. "Kai? Where'd you get off ta, Cole's makin' lunch in a bit and found us a little dergon." He called, not in a particularly loud tone of voice, not wanting to disrupt the entire cave.

Cole watches the sleeping dragon for a moment.....if it feels comfortable enough to sleep near him, and it took the food he offered, and it was rare and strong... He picked up the Pokeball he had set down and tapped the Dragon with it. IF he caught it, he caught it. If not he would probably end up pissing it off and fighting it and catching it anyways. But he wasn't leaving without a dragon. This one preferably. 11 on the AC check for the capture
45 minus whatever modifiers I cannot remember for the capture check itself.

KaiThe bat alights on the ball, landing, and folding up its wings around itself... but, it doesn't hit the button. Granted, it may not even know that there's a button there. It seems to be fairly comfortable, though, and has finally stopped screaming. In a peculiarly-disorienting motion due to its lack of eyes, its closed its mouth, and seems to be almost staring at him. It seems to maybe be waiting for him to say more. TheoTheo finds Kai standing at the mouth of a tunnel-cave-arch-structure, with a bat perched on a Pokéball. There seem to be a few other bats up above, sleeping mostly-soundly. ColeThe Bagon doesn't seem to wake up as he taps the thing with the ball. It gets sucked inside, shaking a little bit, before pinging shut. ...hopefully it doesn't mind. You caught a Bagon!

"Uh, that's not exactly what I meant, but if you wanna just stay there, I guess you can come along that way." Kai laughed awkwardly to himself, not really sure what to do with the situation. He wanted to explore more, but wasn't sure the bat would go for it. He shrugged mentally, before he began walking further in, trying to make sure he didn't jostle the Zubat to much as he walked.

"Oh there you are." Theodore piped up. "Caught me some floatin space rocks, offered Cole one but he weren't intrested. We're settling in for lunch if yer good with it. Probably make for the exit afterwards. Bit of a trek to see the highs and lows o'this place, but it seems nice enough. See you got yerself a friend... uh..."
The boy squints at the Zubat. "Where're it's eyes? Don't all Pokemon have eyes?"

Kai froze, a little startled by the noise, but turned around when he realized it was just Theo. "Oh, it's just you... And uh, cool on the rocks." He took a moment to make sure to lower his flashlight, he wasn't wanting to shine it in Theo's eyes on accident.
"Uh, Some Pokemon don't, Though they typically have something to help out with that. Zubat uses sound, I think?" He looks at the bat as he talks, he felt pretty confident that was it, but wasn't entirely sure. "I guess that means I gotta go, if we're leaving soon anyways. So uh, bye then little guy!" He moved his hand holding the ball up, trying to lightly shake it to get it to fly off.

Once his new friend was safely in the Pokeball, Cole returned his attention to making the food. It would still be a little while before it was ready, so he didnt mind Theo and Kai exploring the cave a bit more

Kai and Theo
The end of the archway-cave-thing overlooks onto another swathe of waterfalls, cascading down into a lake-y area. The turbulent white water obscures what lies below the surface, though, so it's not possible to see if anything interesting's there.
After being shaken off, the Zubat flutters up, and begins circling around again, screaming at the now two (count them, two, ah ah ah!) Trainers.

"Well, let's make a day of this... bit colder then the ocean Ah'magine but I got a couple Pokeballs left an two fresh 'Mon yet..." Theodore removes his shirt and heads down into the lake area, picking along the path down into the wet before he starts feeling along the water carved rock for nooks and crannies, checking 'neath the falls for other caverns.

Kai waves to the bat as he leaves the arch, not too bothered by it's screeching anymore. "Bye Mr. Bat, you should be a little quieter for your friends though, I'm sure they don't like the racket your making!"Kai joins with taking his shirt off, also tossing his hat off and shoes, also making sure to put all his gear that isn't waterproof on top of his shirt. He eyes the water a bit suspiciously, before taking out Kani's pokeball, releasing the Chimecho beside him. "Kani, can you stay above the water near me while I swim?"The Chimecho just chimes, a bit obnoxious sounding but stays above Kai as he begins descending into the water, trying to get a look underneath the surface. Perception: 7

Kai and TheoThe water is cold and mineral-laden, with the basin worn into a fairly smooth bowl by the rushing cascade, the river continuing out over a lip, down likely towards the entrance where they'd come in. Sadly, it doesn't seem like there's much treasure here, although Theo does manage to find a clear blue stone, somewhat similar to the shards that he'd given Ayah. The lake-basin doesn't seem to be home to that many Pokémon - here and there, there's a Magikarp flopping around, like in seemingly every body of water... though, hold on. One of those Magikarp seems to be speckled brownish, with tattered blue fins? Seems uglier and more unwieldy than the others, if that's even possible. Theo finds a Water Stone!

Kai's eyes lock onto the coloured Magikarp, almost sparkling with interest as he goes on over. He was wanting a water type anyways, plus a special Gyarados could be really cool! He began swimming on over with intent, his Chimecho following after. He dived down once he was over it, trying to swim down to it. He was doing his best to try and reach it, intending to pat it and try and convince it to move to the top of the water if he could, as well as his pointing skills could allow. Athletics: 15 Charm: 16

Theodore releases Sundance into his arms to show off the new treasure. "Hey girl, look what I found up under the falls?" He hands the Pancham the stone he found to turn over in the cave's ambient light, and keeps her mostly away from the wet.
"Looks like there ain't really much fer Pokemon down here though. Just a whole mess ah'these inedible bony fish. Spot's nice though.". He yawned. " Ain't got this kind of exercise fer a bit."

Kai
The fish doesn't really respond at all to Kai's prodding, or even seem to acknowledge his existence. He is able to guide it to the service since it doesn't really resist anything, but it barely seems to notice. Eventually, after swimming around a bit more, it slowly blinks up at him, as though asking 'why?'
Theo
Sundance oohs over the sparkly stone for a bit, holding it up towards the light - though, there's not really much direct sunlight for it to properly sparkle off of - before perking up a bit at the sound of fish.
Despite Theo trying to keep her away, she tries her best to sneak towards the pond whenever he takes his gaze away (often... fairly awkwardly and noisily) to reach her paws into the water to try and hook a fish. Thankfully, despite leaning a good ways over, she hasn't fallen in yet. She hasn't caught any fish, though, either - the Magikarp at least seem to be smart enough to stay away from the reaching arm.
