Things were going well so far. She hoped that would continue. Toni had decided to explore a second restricted zone this week, and she brought Andesine along to help her push the boulders aside to get through. It was a cold place, but that was all right. She’d learned to deal with cold as she encountered it in her earlier training sessions.

Of course, the sooner they found a Pokemon and made it back home, the better. She wasn’t invincible by any means, and she didn’t want to freeze.

The last of the boulders was pushed aside, and Toni made her way into the caverns, looking around to any sign of movement. Would she be lucky again this time, or would she have to make a return visit?

She came to a dead end and there – resting against the cave wall – was a Pupitar. Well, good! She needed one of those!

“Andesine, Earthquake!” she ordered. “Maybe we can get it in one hit!”

Andesine complied, causing the ground beneath the Pupitar to shake. This did severaly weaken the wild Pokemon, but it failed to knock it out. Their punishment was an earsplitting Screech that would ensure a headache for the poor Mana Dorm student for the rest of the day.

Still worth it.

Toni tossed a pokeball at the Pupitar and watched it rock almost violently against the cave wall. Then it stopped, and she retrieved it before turning back to Andesine. “Time to get out of here.”

The Krokorok let out a low rumble in response and led the way out of the cave, clearing a path for his trainer as they returned to the dorm.
