...sometimes you've just got to be home to answer the door!

In any case, Shane has finally done it.

The hard work that he's put into establishing himself as an elite student of the academy up to this point has finally earned him access into the more restricted exploitable areas of the Harmonia region. Who knows what he could discover out there, but the boy couldn't possibly wait any longer than a second to try and find out. And after much deliberation, he decided that the first of these unlocked areas to explore would be the Dragon's Den.

As the name would likely suggest, the boy imagined that this area would be practically infested with various dragon-type pokemon. Although, having to ride the waterfall on the way up there - courtesy of his dastardly Dratini, Drake - wouldn't likely be considered to be much fun at all. When it was all said and done however, the ecstatic Bolt student could only hope that finding a brand new pokemon here would be well worth the trip.

{let's go larvesta! teddiursa with pickup, scyther with swarm, and durant with hustle are stoked about exploring these new areas together!}

As much appealing as this place was to the average trainer's eyes, Shane would soon be seeing - in a word - black. What appeared to be a dark cloud of smokescreen began to shroud the immediate vicinity. Where, or what, could that have possibly come from, he wondered. Any more of that and he might just end up tearing profusely. To help with him with that, he called on his old buddy Falco the Pidgeotto to clear up the smoke by flapping his wings to push it all away.

When the air finally cleared, a crimson lizard revealed itself. For some odd reason, it looked awfully familiar. It clearly resembled the baby Charmander in which Shane had received as an egg from that one time he had attended breeding class. Then it hit him. Could that be its evolved form? Is that what the Charmander - whom he had named Chance - would become one day...? Awesome! But right now, it was a threat to the boy. Falco would make quick work of it though with an Air Slash and Aerial Ace, surely a result of his intensive training.

And with that, the two continued through this uncharted territory together.
