“Ah! Of course! Prithee, Shannon, join our quest?” Hex continued, trying to keep up her formal tone. “We shall travel across a great many lands, to- eh. Whatever. Hope you join our team, Shannon!”

Hex glanced down deep into the chasm. Light reflected off the quartz crystals, giving off the illusion that it was glittering. “Let’s go!” Hex said, beginning to flutter into the chasm. She could hear several pokemon chittering about in the dark. It was a wonderful cave. The crystals gave off an unnatural luminescence that really illuminated the dark ravine. Hex had to duck under and through crystals jutting from the hazardous, rocky walls while trying to stay close to the ceiling. So far, not many pokemon had seemed to have attacked the group.

The purple skin of it was a dull, pale shade of purple. His teeth were unnaturally sharp. “Stupid, fat pokemonses. You will-“ Hex stopped his speech by giving off a massive gust, blowing the little Sableye off of his perch and onto the main floor of the cave. She heard a scream, a thump, and something scampering off into the darkness of the cave. “Well.” Hex said, still frozen by the scene she had just witnessed. “I think that’s our warning to be careful in here.”
