Beatrix retired early compared to many of the others and rose the next morning to once again check her gear, remaining in the security checkpoint until ten. There hadn't been any evidence of tampering or removal of her goods, so there must've been some good men on the staff, with the protests it was a small wonder this place held as well as it did. When Buck finally managed to pour himself out of the bar, she found herself being craned into the Pit with the others, rifle across her back, three balls in locked harnesses at her waist.
It was a lot to take in, many of the other explorers with them were quite young and chatty, from what she had gathered and surmised over their collective banter. Urbanites, she supposed, eating kale and using snapchat while sipping lattes. Still, it all couldn't be judged at surface value. After all, they'd gone through the rigorous screening process and were willing to put their lives at risk for likes on a dextube channel. Seemed a bit rash, but she was here too. Beatrix couldn't help but smile at the irony.
The initial cavern was a bit more fantastic then she'd been expecting, with it's variety of glowing mushrooms and several more common species of surface Pokemon. At the sight of Nincada she swooned! A species known for spending long periods of time underground! So drab and unimpressive, but with one of the strangest evolutionary metamorphosis! One consciousness becoming two... it was almost romantic in a way.
"You go on ahead then." She called distractedly to Elliot and the yet unintroduced gaggle of girls with their young friend, already considering which of the bug Pokemon to add to her collection. "Oh Buck... this place is wonderful already! So teeming with life... I must have the largest of these Nincada for my collection." There was a wistful sparkle to her tone that replaced the usual dry sardonic nature of the night before, the underground wasn't going anywhere. There were plenty of paths to follow unexplored yet. Best take some time.

"I think I've found my insect... hmm..." She considered. "It won't do to expend resources so early... perhaps a Pokeball will be enough...?" She rolled one of the iconic spheres between her fingers, before at last releasing a Pokemon. Should this go poorly, it would be best to have some clout nearby, Indiana appearing in the middle of the cavern. "Alright then my new friend, have at you."

Eric takes in the room, and already starts marching towards the cool looking monolith, playing a song he thinks suitable for the ozone taste of the air. Perception roll QgQ4LTgi2d6 2d6

Elliot and Rotor prod the area and find something even more odd. The slot on the ceiling is mirrored on the bottom, in the stream, but was hidden by the pebbles in the stream. Further, Elliot and Rotor find that these mirrored slots extend in a spiral fashion at about a 2° angle. |
Eric finds a little puddle of mucus by the crystal, it is extraordinarily slick and leave a tingling sensation on the skin. |

Elliot purses his lips, before pulling his Dex out. "Oi, sorry for the wake-up call, but I need some pictures taken please." He addresses the mon in the machine. Never hurts to be polite after all.

"Hey guys, I found goo! Where do you think it came from?" He yelled back at the other two. "Oh idea! Stevie, feel anything around here?" he askes Stevie as he releases the Drilbur near the puddle. He stomps about on the ground, testing with his tremorsense.

"Of course Darling, leave it to me! That large slot there? I'd rather take pictures of you, but sure...and done. Do you want me to add these pictures to the TVS? | Stevie prods about for a while and shakes it's head.
Give me another Perception please. | Alessa can't find anything odd, except....is that the sound of waves? 50 meters below sea level? That's....odd for sure. |

Beatrix sighs loudly. "It figures it couldn't have just been the easy way... try to avoid hurting the one with the gray wings too badly Buck? Honestly with how much traffic this cave saw it's a wonder they aren't more tolerable. Either that or they went unnoticed and unloved... it's a shame really... bug-types are such ingenious creatures."

The tips of Elliot's ears darken a bit. "That's, uh, quite the compliment there Dot, thanks. But I'd like to get some pictures of these weird bore-marks, see if there's anyone that wants to buy them up top." With Dot's assistance, he'll take the best photos he can and upload them for sale, before continuing on his way, Rotor picking his way along the side of the stream bed as well.

The loud buzzing seems to agitate Mankey who flies into a rage and begins scratching at one of the Nincada.
"Oy, buggers, 'ave a drink."
Unceremoniously, Buck splashes a canteen at his side in a large arc, aiming for two of the angry nincada. (The... speed 9 and 6 ones because why not?)

Honey follows after her more curious teammates, still chatting with the rotom and glancing up only occasionally. "How about...Nebby? It's a cute name, you're a cute mon, it works out, right?"
She glances up, catching pieces of their chatter, and looks around a bit more intently. "Goo and waves? What?"

Eric finds it odd that there are positively no signs of life nearby, but can't find a reason why. | Alessa finds why she hears waves, as she walks a bit further into the room she finds herself at the edge of a large body of water...she can't tell how large exactly just....that it is large. This body of water has actual waves, gently lapping at the shore peacefully. There are pillars in the waters, standing almost perfect upright. There are large ones, reaching upwards to dozen of feet out of the water, and others just barely vbraking the surface. | Honey notices nothing out of the ordinary, except for the large crystal...
"Nebby? Like from Nebula? Seems good to me! Thank you...uhhh...Honey Spice?" | Elliot receives 200 Poke$ for the pictures. Rotor somehow disappears and returns with a....Rock Type Brace....how did he find that here? Possibly someone dropped it.
| Buck sends two of the Nincadas, and one get's heavily damaged by Jack. But the two that are still awake and start attacking with a flurry of claws, that looks like a blender gone wild.

Eric shrugs at the lack of Pokémon around here, and takes out Del. "Hey Del, I think we should take pictures of each side of this rock thing, and sell it online. Oh and then I need to take a selfie with it for keeps." After he's taken these pictures he thinks of the others. "Hey guys, lets all take a selfie with this thing!" he yells towards the others.

"Um... Guys? I think I found something. And I'm not too sure how we're getting past it"
Alessa unholsters her pokedex and points the camera at the lake.
"Um, Cassius? Could you snap a pic of this real quick? And maybe estimate how far to the other shore?"

"You can just call me Honey," She says cheerfully, and looks down at her jacket. "Now where do I put you so you won't be uncomfortable...I doubt you want to be shoved in a bag somewhere. Hmm..."
She idly considers the opening of her shirt, but shakes her head. The jacket has upwards facing pockets... She slips the pokedex inside, then pulls it out, grabs a potion from her bag, and slips that in first to take up room so the dex's camera/screen will peek out of the fabric.
7O0nW7ZO4d6 Charming that Pokedex, we're gonna be friends gdi
That done, she looks around and joins her companions. "Shiny," She says, tilting her head at the crystal. "Kind of boring though--we're pretty close to the start, I imagine if it were anything super useful, it's already been messed with. Must be some reason it's still here."
She glances around again, then shrugs. "So where to next?"4d6
