[i]"You know, you really shouldn't have said that. Now all I have to do is start making you sing like a pretty Chatot about that data. It actually makes it a whole lot easier than searching around this place."[/i]

The Peon smiled under his mask. "You can try." He said simply. His smiled seemed to fade after a moment as he saw that Thor was a Shadow Pokemon like his Aaron. "Where did yo-?" He tried to ask only to watch as flames engulfed the Shadow Aaron who staggered but managed to remain on it's feet. "Take down!" He ordered the Aaron as his Walrein was hit by the Shadow Pokemon and hit the ground with a thud.

"Weak idiot!" He shouted at the Walrein. He turned to look at his Shadow Aaron. "If you lose your going to regret it!" He shouted.

[b]Outside the house[/b]

[i]"I know. I know, but we have bigger things to focus on. Ross, you ready to get in the house?"[/i]

Ross gently cradled the Larvitar in his arm and watched angrily as the Alakazam vanished in a burst of light. It looked like it was fleeing the battle. "Yeah. Just a minute." He called as he walked over to the other Peon who was still looking on in shock at Tinder. "M-My shadow Pokemon." he muttered angrily. "You think you're going to get away with this?!" He demanded. "You think I'll let you get away?!" He snarled as he got to his feet.

Ross simply pulled back his fist as the Peon continued ranting angrily and cracked the Peon across the face with a good amount of force. The Peon hit the ground with a thud as Ross smiled innocently at Tinder. "Sorry. I don't like people who abuse Pokemon. Besides, he wouldn't shut up, it was getting irritating."

He raised an eyebrow as he saw Eagun's home shake slightly. "Looks like there might be a battle going on in there." He said. "I say we help out."

[b]Waterfall Cavern[/b]

[i]"Well, count me in,"[/i]

Eagun smiled. "I thank you for your help." He said as he began heading for a darker part of the cavern. "There's an exit this way. It should allow us to avoid some of the Cipher trainers outside. But I must warn you, they always have at least two people guarding the cavern and I believe that they do have Shadow Pokemon." His eyes narrowed as he recalled the Cipher trainer who had thwarted his last rescue attempt and had forced him to hide in the cavern.

"There is a female Cipher trainer who wears black armor who always seems to be there. She's very good with her Pokemon and utterly ruthless when it comes to battling. She was able to stop me the last time I tried to rescue my wife. But..the last time I saw her, her Pokemon had this blank look in their eyes. Like they didn't know where they were."
