Mason and Lily's camp in Mountain Coronet

It was a beautiful early morning in the mountains. Mason, when he first woke up, took a second to realize where he was- Mountain Coronet, directly in between Sinnoh. It had been three days since he decided he was going to stay here forever, and found Lily the Chimchar.

He sat down, thinking about the bandits, and how stupid he had been to let Aaron and Vine sacrifice their lives for him. A tear dropped from the young boy's face, hitting the ground with the quietest drip-drop. He released Lily, and she ran onto his lap, cuddling up.

After Mason put the Poke Ball back into the pouch, he became angry. He would avenge his parents! He would avenge Aaron and Vine! He and Lily would make the bandits suffer. "Lily, we've got a mission ahead of us."

And so the adventure began.....

Not far from the boy and his chimchar was a sound coming. It wasn't like people were walking up and down throught the tunnel but it was a peacefull sound. At one side the sound, sounded like there was water softly moving in very very small waves and the other side of the sound was the rythematic sound of water dripping at the same time. Every five seconds or so they would hear a ''Drip, drip'' from the water.

The cave was filled with a smell of fresh air and it was obvious that there was a whole short to the lake. In the glistening waters of the lake were lots of water pokemon, swimming around happily in their underground lake, which was reflecting the light that was coming over from the opening far above the lake. When you would look up you would see the sun, you would hear bird pokemon and the rustling of the grass and leaves of the trees that surrounded it and you would be able to smell the fresh air current that drifted through the place where the lake was together with the small waterfall which kept fresh water flowing into the lake.

Mason glared, swiftly, into the direction of the sound. He got up, putting Lily on his shoulder, and ran over to the cave. He studied it for a moment, and studied the Pokemon. He thought about it for a second, and decided that he could use it as a water source - he would just need something to hold it in.

As he thought about it, he heard a huge drip-the biggest of all of them. A huge rock fell into the water. He looked in the direction it came from, and saw some even larger rocks prepared to fall, right on top of him, Lily, and the lake. Mason quickly ran, back to the camp. Once there, he heard the rocks coming toward them, and some going into the lake.

Mason and Lily looked at each other, puzzled of what to do. Run? Hide?

The pokemon in the big lake were acting like they were busy panicing. They knew that a starmie was using its pyshich powers to put an illusion for the human and its pokemon up to see if he was a good person at heart or not. If he would be good of heart he would awnser the cries from the water pokemon and try to keep them safe together with his own pokemon. If not he would try to run or hide only thinking about his own safety then the safety of others. 

However the human looked pretty scared and it seemed the starmie had maybe gone a bit too far with it. In the lake there were some finneon which were acting like really lively like they were seeing the thing themselves but they knew that the starmie had only aimed it for the human and its chimchar so it wouldn't be a problem for them. The human would just have to believe it.

Mason looked back, seeing the rocks coming toward them. He heard the cries of the wild pokemon, and decided to try to save them- but in a way that had to be smart- he was new to this and needed a plan. I don't have time for any plans, they might be dieing right now, he thought to himself. He looked at Lily. "I'm going to try to save those wild pokemon. Any ideas?"

She started running towards the rocks, and trusting her judgement, Mason followed. As the rocks came into view, he closed his eyes, trying to remain calm. He had never trained with Lily, let alone get past an obstacle. Mason could only do one thing; try to dodge the rocks, and gather up the pokemon. Granted, that was taking a huge chance, considering they might attack him or not listen to him.

As Lily became within twenty yards of the rocks, she stopped, and ran into a small hole. Panicking, Mason looked around for a hiding spot. As the rocks approached, he noticed something, but it was a few yards away. He jumped over a few rocks, or slid through them, causing lots of bruises. When he arrived, he hid, until the rocks had passed by- at least, that huge set of rocks.

Lily revealed herself, so Mason did the same. Suddenly, they became within ten yards of the water source. He took a deep breath, and charged at the new-falling rocks. As he was withing five yards there, he tripped, and the rocks came toward him. He closed his eyes, unable to get up, and tears came. "Help!" he said weakly, as they approached.

The water pokemon watched as the boy fought against the immaginary rocks that were ''falling'' Down as they looked at what he would do. He had made the right choice and had chosen to use the small chimchar its skills and his to try and get to them, to save them and bring them in peace. One small finneon began to swim to a big lummineon and began to speak to it. ''fin finneon'' It sounded high and very calming. The big lumineon nodded and went to the starmie as they began to talk the glow of the crystal of the starmie faded and the boy wouldn't see rocks falling at him anymore. What he would see now was just what he had seen before the rocks had began to fall. He would have seen the huge gap above them and the gorgues glimmering lake in front of him with all the water pokemon swimming casual like nothing has every happened only the small fineon was looking with a very cute and obvious happy smile to the boy.

Mason looked around, still on the ground, confused of where the rocks had gone. Lily ran toward him, jumping on his shoulder, and trying to encourage him to get back up. After a few minutes, he found his way up. The first thing he saw was the finneon looking at him. Aw, it's kind of cute, he thought, then realized it might have been a trap. He nodded to Lily and slowly approached.

When they went over, Lily hopped off of his shoulder and went over to it. She studied it for a moment, then backed away. He thought for a moment, then realized that they were opposite; fire and water. Then, Lily panicked and jumped at it, but luckily Mason caught it. "No!"

The small fineon which was casually swamming in the water but still looking happy at the trainer noticed the ape like pokemon hop of from the male his shoulder and look at the water pokemon. Fineon didn't have any problems with the chimchar so the fish pokemon didn't mind and just watched as he saw the pokemon walk away and then at turn around at once trying to attack it. 

The small fish like pokemon became scared and quickly swam away until it was at the other side of the pond and looked scared at the chimchar that was at the other side of the room. All the cuteness had made place for fright against the chimchar. It was obvious the pokemon wasn't scared of the trainer but only from its pokemon.
