It was certainly a thought; did the stones carry the energy or was it the Pokemon? Personally, he thought it was more like a lock and key; stones or even corresponding items reacted to Pokemon because they had some components that fit together. The more interesting question though if that were true would be the why. It was likely that the stones themselves had latent power and likely adapted to it in order to draw out the next evolutionary form.

He would not get a chance to share his thoughts. [color=8493ca]"Anise? What did... you..."[/color] Upon rushing to Anise's side he saw that looming over them was another prehistoric creature, except this time it looked far more powerful than the Relicanth that he just obtained. The wall of ice that separated them from the Pokemon was cracking with each splinter branching off with each second.

[color=8493ca]"If it runs wild, it will damage the mines and who knows what else will be released."[/color] Even though he said that, he reflexively stepped back. This was not a Pokemon he could reason with or even bluff his way through like everything else so far. That was a prehistoric Pokemon that will soon regain its senses in who knows how many millennia and just like his Relicanth it will be in a panicked state. There was no guarantee that the same trick would work twice.

[color=8493ca]"But we need to make a strategic retreat, [b]now.[/b]"[/color] Basil had already returned Crocus to his Pokeball and made a break for it to the nearest hiding spot available to them.
