Pokémon Hoenn: α and Ω

"That one looks like a plant root and that one looks like a claw of some kind," stated Shiranui.

Shiranui donned his goggles and the trio entered the desert, getting buffeted by the sandstorm soon afterwards. He soon spotted a Hippopotas and sent Hoshi out to battle it.
"Hippopotas, the Hippo Pokémon. It enshrouds itself with sand to protect itself from germs. It does not enjoy getting wet."
"Hoshi, Bubble Beam!" The Staryu blasted a big spray of bubbles at Hippopotas and nailed it for a super effective hit. Hippopotas let off a big yawn and Hoshi soon started to feel drowsy before taking damage from the sandstorm. "Great Ball, go!" Shiranui threw a Great Ball and Hippopotas was drawn in. The ball shook three times before letting off a ping barely heard in the sandstorm. He had now caught a Hippopotas, naming it Sunakaba.

"It sure is," Shiranui agreed. He spotted a blockade near the cable car and with the only way to Lavaridge Town closed off, they'd have to traverse the desert and make their way to Fallarbor Town.

Shiranui watched the battle reeling from the cacophony of Whismur's Uproar.

The three left Verdanturf Town and made their way east back to Mauville City. "We should stock up on water when we get to Mauville City otherwise we may become Cacturne prey in the desert."

That's a very good question. Since the meteorite plot point is on the horizon, we'll need to decide this sooner rather than later. If we're going back to Kanto for the Battle Frontier, it would make more sense for Pyramid King Brandon to have the Regis (for now). This leaves Groudon and Rayquaza.

For the fossils, since there's only two to be found in the desert and the group has practically become a trio now, one of us would miss out. I don't mind if it's me.

"Ready," answered Shiranui.

Shiranui recalled Route 13 in Kalos. "I'm leaning towards the desert myself," Shiranui decided.
