Dragon's Awakening

Please tell me this isn't dying.

"Let there be light!" Matt said as the torch illuminated the cave. "That's Arceus. I was quoting Arceus."
Josh looked over at Anthony. "What's the note say?"

Darkrai
If you're reading this, then that means you're a bit more serious
about following me into this dungeon. Now, let's get right to the
point. All of these torches need to be lit in order to reveal the way
further into the cave, but, each of them is different, and each one
responds to a different type of move. The type it responds to can
be determined from the torch's color... with the only weird one
being that white torch... apparently, that one responds to water
instead of normal or ice like I thought. Anyways, hope to see you
soon!

Anthony lit up one of the torches - the green one - with Absorb, which left only three. Matt looked at them. "This brown one is either Rock, ground, or Fighting, the pink one's Psychic or Fairy, and this purple one is Poison, Ghost, or Dragon." He said. "Now, there's only one way to find out which type they are." He took the brown torch off the wall. "This one here may give us trouble. Anthony could probably use Counter, but if that doesn't work I don't think anything else will." He looked back at the other two torches, and placed Josh down in front of them. "Try to light those two, Josh. I'll work with Anthony to light this one here."
Josh used Acid on the purple one, and Confusion on the pink one, hoping they would light.

Matt turned to face Anthony. "Now, I'll have to attack you for this to work. Just try to aim for the torch instead of me."
As soon as he was sure Anthony was ready, he swung the torch at him.

The guild's been down a lot recently, hasn't it?

Dragon's Awakening

On the other side of the door was a severely mutated dragon. His large size, disproportionate body parts, and lumps all over his body suggested he'd been experimenting on himself. He went after Tony first, and seemed surprised that he was able to fight back. Tony's attacks didn't seem to be doing much, though.
"This one's tough, isn't he?" Ralph said.
Normally, Ralph would just fly out of his reach, but the ceiling was too low for him to do that this time around. He tried to put as much distance between himself and the mutant as possible. He then shot fireballs across the room at him, hoping they would do more than Tony's attacks did.

I think I got it.

Three symbols appeared in front of them - a red fist, a blue eye, and an orange flame. The symbols flew into the door, opening it. Anthony went in, and found a note, as well as a torch.
"What does it say, Anthony?" Josh asked.
The moment he and Matt entered the cave, the door closed behind them. It was completely dark now. Unless they could get that torch lit, there was no way they would be able to read that note.
"Now, where's that torch?" Matt said. He felt along the wall for a moment. "Ah! There it is."
Matt then picked up two stones, and began hitting them together, creating sparks as he did so. This went on for several minutes, but nothing was happening.
"We may have to try another method." He said. "This is not a normal torch. It may be another one of the temple's puzzles. The answer might have been written on that note, but since we can't read it, we'll have to figure this one out ourselves."

Matt thought about it for a moment, mumbling to himself. after several minutes, it seemed like he'd figured something out.
"I think I've got it!" He said. "This may or may not work, but we might as well try. Now, Josh, I need to shoot a stream of water directly in front of you."
"It won't burn if you get it wet."
"Like I said, this isn't a normal torch. Just trust me."
Josh did as Matt said, but ended up completely missing the torch.
"A little to the left, I think."
Josh adjusted his aim a little and tried again. This time, he could tell that he hit the torch.

Anthony's slime trail revealed a switch that emitted an orange glow as he stood on it.
"Well, I guess that explains it." Josh said. He began spraying the ground with water, clearing the dirt off of the other two stone plates.
His teammates seemed concerned about how much dirt covered the switches. It was clear that they'd been untouched for a while.
"Did Darkrai ever mention how long he's been trapped in the basement?" Josh asked.
"No, but the elder did." Matt said. "It's been several generations, according to him. I doubt he'd still be alive at this point, unless he was a legendary as well."
"Only one way to find out."
Matt placed Josh down on one of the switches, and stood on one himself.

Anthony tried to get past the Machop without waking it up, to no avail. It used Karate Chop on him immediately after it opened its eyes. He used Absorb, but didn't seem to do much. Josh was about to use Confusion, but Daniel used Wing Attack before he got a chance. That was all it took to knock it out.
"Well, let's continue on, then." Josh said.
They didn't get far before they ran into another door. This one appeared to lead to some sort of cave. There was a note lying nearby, which Anthony read, then handed to Matt.

Darkrai
If you're reading this, that means that
you're finally joining me in taking over
this oversized, overhyped boulder!
While that's certainly good news, you're
probably wondering about this door, well...
Ya have to find a pokemon that
represents what this thing calls
"The three key values",
Courage, Loyalty, and Wisdom.
Now, since I'm only one pokemon,
I had to find a couple pokemon from
the mountain to help me with this one.
Apparently... some random Riolu
worked for Wisdom. Weird, 'eh?

"Courage, Loyalty, and Wisdom." Matt said. "Well, let's take a look at Anthony for a moment. I'd say that after he fearlessly went through those traps, he's definitely more courageous than the rest of us."
"Ok, so we've got Anthony for Courage." Josh said. "Matt, you're one of the smartest guys I know, so you'd work for Wisdom. And for Loyalty, we've got...um..."
Josh and Daniel were the only two left. He hadn't known Daniel for very long, so he couldn't really tell how loyal he was. Matt could tell that Josh was having trouble deciding, so he spoke up.
"That would be you, Josh." He said. "Think about it. You'd be safe in a heavily populated area such as Allure Town. Zane wouldn't be able to touch you there. You have your badge, so you could teleport back at any moment. And yet, you're out here with us. You never left us behind."
Matt had a point. He could've easily abandoned them at any moment, but he didn't. The thought never even crossed his mind.
"I guess you're right." Josh said. "So, it looks like we've got all three, so now what?"
The note didn't really explain what they were supposed to do next. Matt began looking around, trying to figure it out.
