It was early afternoon, the sun high and bright in the sky, by the time the group reached the caves. Wiping sweat from her forehead, Amber followed Rachel, peering into the mouth of a cavern. From what she'd read, Drilbur, Diglett and Onix dug many of these tunnels. What else would be in there? This was her chance to find out. As risky as a Pokemon training journey was, witnessing these creatures close up made it all worthwhile.

[color=chocolate]"Come on back out, Larimar."[/color] At the press of a button, the Anorith reappeared by her side. Walking alongside the others, three of her Pokemon in tow, Amber switched on the flashlight. Distant shapes flitted around, their squeaks echoing. [color=chocolate]"Woobats,"[/color] she said, noticing a heart-shaped mark on the stony wall. [color=chocolate]"It hasn't been officially proven, but they're believed to bring good fortune to anyone they land on."[/color] She glanced over her shoulder at Aedre. [color=chocolate]"Of course, you should have plenty of that anyway, with your Togepi."[/color]

As the researcher-in-training pointed the flashlight around the cave, multicoloured glints shone from the walls and floor. [color=chocolate]"Well, we've definitely come to the right place for mining,"[/color] Amber commented with a chuckle, shrugging the bag from her shoulder, putting on the gloves and pulling out the pickaxe. The pendants she could make from these crystals would hopefully sell for enough to keep her fed, and who knew, maybe some of these rocks would be useful to Pokemon later on. There would surely be evolution stones and type gems around.

[color=chocolate]"Kyra, you wouldn't mind keeping an eye out for wild Pokemon?"[/color] she asked the Rockruff. With a yap, the puppy cast an alert look around and sniffed the area, prepared to guard the group of trainers. Amber set to work, chipping at the rocks. At her side, Larimar did the same, swiping the ground with her sharp claws, revealing a piece of clear quartz. [color=chocolate]"Wow, Larimar! Those claws of yours are like steel!"[/color] Amber watched in fascination as her newest Pokemon assisted her. [color=chocolate]"I read that an Armaldo can break rocks... So, it turns out they can do that even before they evolve."[/color] 

After Chalcedony helped to work the gemstone free, Larimar pushed it, sending it clinking across the ground towards the trainer. Bending down, Amber patted each of the shellfish and tucked the crystal into her bag. [color=chocolate]"Aw, thanks, both of you!"[/color]

If they worked together, it seemed likely they'd dig up plenty of items before the day was out.
