The time had finally come. Toni had a full team of Pokemon that had evolved at least once, meaning each one of them could handle anything the island wished to throw their way. Between them all, she had the HM moves necessary to access any point of the island. She’d captured both of the rare Pokemon that her research indicated could not be found in any of the restricted zones, and the remaining rares would be much easier to find in those elusive lands.

It was time to venture out into the places considered too dangerous for the student body as a whole.

She’d been training Fluorite for this moment, and the Noivern carried her expertly through the air toward the castle. She held on tight and tried to reassure herself over and over. It would be fine. She could do this. She’d explore the castle and return home unscathed, hopefully one rare Pokemon richer. Then she’d return home and celebrate somehow.

But first, she had to find her new friend.

Fluorite dropped Toni as gently as she could manage onto the castle wall. Toni pulled her back into her pokeball for now and started to wander the castle, making it inside and looking around. What would the Pokemon here be like? Just stronger versions of the one down below, or was she about to see things she’d never before imagined?

Something – a Metang – drifted in front of her. Fortunately, she was ready, and she sent Andesine out to battle it.

“Andesine—“ Before she could get out her order, Andesine caused an Earthquake. She wasn’t sure how he managed to avoid bringing the whole castle down, or how the move even hit the Metang, but it did, greatly weakening it. The Metang retaliated with a Scary Face, but that would do no good in this battle.

“I think we need to work on your obedience a bit, Andy.” She tossed a pokeball at the Metang and waited for it to roll to a stop before retrieving it. She then pulled Andesine back into his pokeball and sent out Fluorite so she could fly away. It was time to visit some other new place.
