[i]"If you guys can't find him, don't waste time. Get to the Relic Cave and do whatever you do with the Time Flute. I should be there before you guys hit the cave."[/i] 

Ross was about to speak but thought better of it until Tinder suggested that they split into teams. A big grin appeared on his face. "I'll stick with you." He said. "After all, I'd like another crack at those Peons if we run into them. Not that I'm saying I don't want to help you out...I...Uh..." Ross tried to keep his words straight as his Machoke slyly elbowed him with a knowing expression on his face. Ross turned to him and tried to look angry but failed miserably. "You be quiet." He muttered as the Machoke made a face that embarrassed Ross to no end. "Behave or you go back in the Pokeball." He muttered.

"I'm going to check out the waterfall and see if Eagun isn't there. If we can find him maybe he can help us."

[b]Agate Village[/b]

Eagun sat behind the waterfall in his cavern and simply about what he had lost. He had seen Cipher fall twice at the hands of trainers who believed in justice and fairness to all. But those days were gone. Cipher had come back with renewed determination and new tactics. They had taken his wife and Pokemon in the dead of night and had left him badly wounded as a message: Cross Cipher again and have everything and everyone you love taken from you. Cipher had already taken his granddaughter away with the hero of the first Cipher crisis. And now they had taken everything else. 

He sighed heavily. He didn't know what to do now. His Pokemon, His wife and his Granddaughter were all gone and Cipher had free reign over the village.
