There were some stairs just ahead of the group. "Why are there
stairs here?" They were leading straight upwards into what looked
like nothing. They looked like they were put there unnaturally, as
they didn't blend with the beach that well...
Quilava followed Jolt, and...the stairs ended in fog, and when the
group got to the top of them, they vanished underneath their feet,
and they were on the next floor of the dungeon. It looked very
similar to the first floor, except the layout was quite different.
Quilava began walking around and saw some of that golden stuff he
noticed before. There were six of these weird gold things. They
were all circular and had a "P" carved into the center of it.
"Guys, what's this stuff?"
"Uhh... that's money..." Laurence said, "You've never seen money?"
Laurence knew the Quilava had basically been a slave for Duo, but
he hadn't even seen money? Laurence wondered how much the Quilava
knew about other things as well.
"Ohh, THAT'S what money looks like...I've never seen it before."
Quilava was about to pick it up when a Pelipper swooped at him. It
slammed into his side, knocking him down, and then put the money in
his beak to store for later.
The Pelipper squawked at the two of them. Quilava got back up.
"Don't worry, I got this." The Quilava used Flame Wheel and...it
did little to no damage. Quilava was surprised at this. He only
ever fought other Cyndaquil as a Cyndaquil and other Quilava as a
Quilava, so he had a pretty fair match against most of his
opponents, even though he was much weaker than most of the other
Quilava there.
"I guess I'll just do this, then..." Quilava used Will-O-Wisp,
burning the Pelipper, and a sad, embarrased look went over his
face. He didn't want to be the weak one! He did fine in Duo's
Tower, what was going wrong here?
Dea descended up the stairs and caught up with the others. WHen she
arrived,she saw Quilava using will-o-wisp on a pelipper,burning
it.She used swift on the flying pelipper,hitting it as it squawked
in pain and tried to attack dea with air slash.
(So this is the boss?)
(I hope not XD) Laurence looked at Quilava. "Uhh, you should
probably back up..." he said, trying to be as kind as possible,
"You aren't exactly the strongest here..."
"No offence Quilava,but we don't want you to get hurt." Dea said
kindly "But you did a great job burning it,it was a great help to
lower it's attack,thank you." Dea said as she got hit by the air
slash and gritted her teeth from the pain before biting the
pelipper.
(No, a Pelipper would never be the boss, especially when the stuff
here is so strong...)
"Uh, well..." Quilava paused. His entire body felt hot, not because
he was made of fire, but because he was so nervous. "I think I have
some more moves that can help..." Quilava used SmokeScreen, and it
hit the Pelipper, who was now shooint Hydro Pumps in all
directions.
(Kay then,let's just say it's them adapting to the floor ^^)
"Well,it went crazy but that's helpful." Dea said before shooting
moonblast at the pelipper,fainting it."Now that that's taken care
of,shall we continue?" Dea asked.
Laurence got hit by a hydro pump, and fell backwards. "Augk!" he
exclaimed in surprise. He took a second to stand back up, looking
around for any other pokemon waiting to ambush them. "Yeah,
sure..." he said. This was tougher than he thought it would be.
"Okay." Quilava was now quiet. He'd rather be here than home; this
was a better experience for him than sitting in a cave. But,
anyways, he was still very annoyed at himself. He could've been
stronger than this, right?
"Laurence,Quilava,are you two okay?" Dea asked worriedly at
Laurence who got hit by the hydro pump. She also asked Quilava,who
suddenly got quiet after the pelipper fainted.
(Actually,in the previous floor,i think we have a few different
weak pokemon like psyduck and lotad,Maybe i should add their
evolved form here?)
"OK then if you say so,how about you Laurence?" Dea asked the
munchlax,before feeling herself be slammed in the back with a water
pulse by a lombre. She used bite on the lombre.
Quilava saw thw Lombre, jumped back, and used Leer on it. This
lowered its Defense. Since he can't attack, may as well be a good
support, right? He hid after attacking, hoping the Lombre wouldn't
chase him.
