Undyne

@ For the past 20 minutes, there was just one high-pitched and continuous hovering coming from one little Shuppet, right from her home on the outskirts of Ledgetown. she was completely alone, a small little home with nothing more than a room for her to sleep and a simple room of... er, living... "Team Radiance is looking for members and I got a letter asking to join their!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEE! I need to go apply, now! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my GOSH!!! Mommy and Daddy will be SOOOOOOOOO proud of me! I'll be more than happy to show them the new generation of the Banette Banshees!!!" Immediately, she was already hovering quickly towards the town, extremely excited to begin her new adventure, before entering and looking around. Some weird bird and a small plant were standing in front of the address! "Hey! Hey! Hey hey hey hey hey! Is this where you can sign up to join Team Radiance?! I got a personal letter saying that they're looking for new members and it's like, a dream come TRUE!!!" She squealed out again, extremely ecstatic.

@ Immediately, Luxio felt the force of Geodude run smack into it, sending them both into the craggy walls, making it yell in pain and wincing out. "Gah! Luxio, are you all right? Shake it off, my friend! I know your jaw is tough, but tough through rock? Find out, your Bite attack! Go!" Luxio, through being tumbled at the wall with Geodude and immediately opened up its mouth, lunging out at one of its arm and attempting to bite it.

@ Anton had given his words a bit of thought out for what the trainer said, but immediately went to smirking at him. "Actually... Luxio will stay out! Your Geodude might have the type advantage, but you should never underestimate the weak! You might just lose your guard for a split second!" He exclaimed, before Luxio's intimidating looks went back into effect, growling out. "Show him, now! Swagger!" Another command came out before Luxio began to enrage itself, right towards the Geodude.

@ "GYAHHH!" Well, that wasn't exactly the best thing for Anton to do. Not to mention that his screech was high-pitched, enough to make him seem like a girl. "Well... That was a surprise indeed, heh!... Nice disguise as well! It's great to see that you have a knack for espionage! But, never mind that whatsoever! It looks like we just need to go away and get this challenge swept under the carpet! I want to face your Gym Leader, quick and now!" He exclaimed, digging around in his bag. However, he never noticed he picked up the wrong Pokeball, meaning to pull out Cubchoo's... "Cubchoo! Make your battling debut known, here and now! Come on out!" He yelled out, throwing the Pokeball out. But, as the ball opened, only his Luxio popped out, growling. "...Wait. I meant... Luxio? Maybe it should have been a necessity to get some Seal Stickers from Solaceon Town to mark which Pokemon is which..."

@ "Thank you, Clyde. But yes, this place does seem like the perfect place. I understand this and I gladly accept the challenge!" Anton had announced, looking back over the maze of rocks and crags his way. So, a rock maze... So, this Gym Leader, Roxanne... She must be a Rock type Gym Leader? I actually like what she has done with the Gym layout. A cute, little maze, unlike Fantina's 'run around in the dark and screech like a girl' Gym challenge...

@ "Yes, sadly, you are... So, if you could kindly move out of the way, then I would honestly appreciate it." Anton shot back, figuring simple small wouldn't work. Well, his last resort came around to just pull out Luxio and letting him have it. Or maybe Cubchoo, though it might not be a great decision on that... Oh well, whoever he chooses in the heat of the moment.

@ Immediate bad move, Anton... Oh joy, everything here is Team Mortar. And I thought that the tunnel had some horrible grunts in there... But, I should go and try to find something useful to do in this town. Might even some repairs here or driving away Mortar to restore the town as well! Hmm... Well, I don't need to heal at all... Perhaps... Anton made his way over to the Pokemon Gym nearby, smirking a bit over at the grunt nearby. "Pardon me, sir, but I would like access to the Gym here! So, if you could kindly move out of the way so I may start the challenge here, then that would be wonderful, okay?"

@ "Cubchoo, get off of that giant spinning moon rock thing right this instant before it hurts you!" Anton yelled out, and that's whne Cubchoo listened. Well, it began to listen once odd psychic beams out at it, making it scurry back. Though, getting right into a crater, and somehow avoiding each of the blast, it managed to grab some odd stone, giving it to Anton and squeaking out. "What did you pick up? Odd... What do you know, a Moon Stone! What a nice little present from you, Cubchoo. Though, I think it would be safe if you would just stay by my side and not wander and jump onto giant spinning moon rock Pokemon things, hmm?" He replied, as he stuffed the stone into his bag and made his way out of the cave, going back to the route. "Cubchoo! Get into my bag, little one! Let's explore that town nearby!" Anton commanded as Cubchoo went right into its Pokeball, with Anton throwing it in his bag and going straight down to the town nearby.

@ At that moment, Cubchoo backed a bit aways from the Lunatone, even more amazed by the fact that it just stopped and looked down onto it. Though, that didn't stop it from beginning to fly up onto it, with cheerful squeaks. "Whoa, whoa, Cubchoo! Get off of that odd moon rock thing, right now!" He shouted, listening out to the echo go throughout the cave, and beginning to run up to the both of them.

@ Though, Cubchoo wasn't going to just sit there and stare at the moon rock thing spin all day long. It got up, stumbling a bit as it would begin to toddle its way over towards it, occasionally sniffing up that icy snot of his up and watching it hang down again. "Whoa, whoa, wait up, Cubchoo! I don't know what might happen if--" That's when Cubchoo reached out and touched the spinning rock, oblivious to what might happen next.

@ "Jeez... You would think that there wouldn't be anything else odd happening in caves, and now, there's this..." Anton murmured to himself, as he slowly entered the cave, looking over at the odd moon thing spinning about, right over the hole in the ceiling. "Odd... That's a bit weird... What, is it using something like Moonlight or something? Is that its own version of Moonlight? I know Clefairy seems to do something like that, but I would never see it spinning like that... Well, I think it's time I actually got to bring this little guy out." Pulling out his newly acquired Pokeball, he tossed it up in the air. "Cubchoo, come on out now!" That's when Cubchoo landed to the floor with a squeak like before, just sitting there and looking at the Lunatone in amazement, easily amused.

@ FINALLY! WARM, COASTAL AIR! OH, HOW GLORIOUS THE WARMTH IS! NEVER IN THE LIFE OF ARCEUS WOULD I EXPLORE THAT FORBIDDEN PLACE AGAIN! The only thoughts that ran out by the head of Anton as he reached the outside, hearing the multiple sounds of nature coming out into his hearing. Though, one thing had came to mind right off of the bat... The cave. "That's odd... What's happening in that cave?" He muttered as he slowly went up towards the cave, right into the entrance.

@ "Ah. So, you're called Cubchoo! Adorable name, adorable! I hope you enjoy my company, my new friend!" Anton had exclaimed out, picking up the Pokeball nearby and putting it into his wet bag. Finally, a friend that's not exactly one to back do-- His thoughts were soon interrupted by a large roar into his ear, turning around. It seemed as though a Pokemon didn't want to lose its offspring. "Sorry, there! But I need to take my leave before my rear is frozen! Tata~!" As he began to run out, he was a bit slipped up by the ice around him, making his way up to the light.

@ "Hmmm... Well, maybe I can take you along. But, I'm not sure if it's smart to try to attempt at not catching in a Pokeball... So, let's try this." Anton put the Cubchoo right down near him, stepping back a few yards before reaching at his belt and pulling out a small ball. Pressing the button, it expanded out, a regular Pokeball. What came next was his usual routine of a catch. "Getting stuck in a cave like this might have been one of the worst things I could ever think of!" With one push of his foot, he started to spin in place, the rotations easy on the ice. "Freezing to death... drowning... Oh, what a terrible fear. But now, I seemed to have found a perfect opportunity!" The spinning would begin to become faster and faster. "Finally! You, my new friend! Today, you will continue your life living with me! Your new Trainer, hailing from Hearthome, Anton! Let's.... GO!" He had stopped on his spinning before chucking his Pokeball right at the Cubchoo.

@ Anton looked back down to the Cubchoo, making him chuckle slightly. He was always one for graceful Pokemon, fierce Pokemon, and even rogue Pokemon. But something about this little odd bear with what looked like snot hanging from its nose was making him a bit more... attached to it. It was being adorable, he just couldn't bear it! "Heh... So, little guy..." Anton started as he picked up the Cubchoo, right up to his eye level. "You must like it here, huh? It's so f-f-frigid here... And I'm still confused about this crystal statue thing... The incursions are blinking..."

@ Anton immediately looked down to the small Cubchoo taking a seat right on his foot. At first, he was about to jump out, but instead, he made a chattering smile, bending down to get a better look at him. "H-Hey, t-t-t-there, little f-f-fella... D-d-d-d-do you like sitting there?" At the same time, he had also looked up at the odd ice crystal, utterly confused. That's so weird... This large crystal is just standing out from everything... And the yellow incursions... Something tells me that this might not be a regular ice crystal... Maybe a statue of some sort?

Finally, land! Why is everything so cold in this region?! It's almost worse than Route 216! Urgh! Anton began to sputter a bit as he got licked right in the face by a Seel, getting right on the cold ground and shaking quite harshly. He wasn't exactly the fastest swimmer possible, but he couldn't have been caught by those grunts... "What kind of Pokemon are these...? Ice? Maybe... I should see how they react?" With a cautious step, Anton started to walk towards the large ice formation, trying not to alarm the Pokemon nearby.

@ "Gah!" Anton suddenly squeaked as he hit the wall of the cavern, the Zubat flying closely overhead. Thankfully, he had a nice grip on the Claw Fossil, which he then stuffed quickly in his bag. Great... I think those screams just a tick ago were from Team Mortar... I need to find out of a way out of here without being noticed... Gah, why is my curiosity getting the best of me when it comes to being cold? There's only one last option for this... And I don't think it's healthy for the both of us... But... Without a single warning, Anton got out a Pokeball, surprisingly withdrawing Roserade back inside. And after shoving it deep within his bag, he made a running start. With a somehow skilled diver's leap, he dove into the water, trying to swim his best up the stream to avoid the grunts.

@ And so Anton did. Was this a horrible decision on his part? Of course it was. Immediately grabbing it, he reached the surface of the water and set the fossil down before wildly flailing out to get back onto the dry ground. And once he was, he was already going into massive shivering. He might have also made a bit of a loud noise when he got back on land, making it echo throughout the small passageway.

@ Immediately, Anton began to shiver up at the sudden coldness running down his spine, not expecting the odd temperature drop off the bat. "Man, this just got chillier... Oh, hush, Roserade, I don't want to see any sort of complaining from you. Remember when we had to go through Route 216? Now... Huh? What's that down there? Something seems to be shining... Roserade, would you do the honors?" "Rade?! Rrrrose!" "It's water... Not silly ice. Don't worry now. I promise you we'll go to the nearest warm place once I get this. See what the shining thing is down there. Quit complaining... Ugh, fine. I'll look down there." Sadly, by his attempt, Anton dipped her head into the stream, making a small squeak from the sudden coldness as he peered to the shining item.

@ Immediately, Anton stopped in his tracks and stared directly in front of him. It looked like that there already people in here, and something about their looks made it seem like they weren't friendly at all... With his back against the wall, along with Roserade, he tried to look more at them. Those are odd hoodies... M... What does that M mean? Definitely not my style, for sure. Miracle? Monster? Or... wait... Isn't that... Team Mortar or something? It sounds like them... And they're obstructing the path. Bet if I just walk in there willy nilly, I'll get creamed... Let's just follow that little Pokemon right over there... With a few careful movements, Anton and Roserade had started to follow along with the small Aron down the side passage, making sure not to be seen by the two guards.

@ Ech... This place was beaten up more than that announcer from earlier. It's a total disaster... Anton looked all around the Route, noticing all of the Pokemon that seemed to dwindle about the way. These poor Pokemon. It almost makes me shed a tear that I hadn't qualified for that Ranger school. This place would have been a perfect site for restoration, without a shadow of a doubt. Ah well. I wonder what this place means... "Verdale Tunnel". Some sort of escape route of some sorts? None of the Pokemon here would probably want to go off on their own fighting each other...It's looking like this is the safest route. "Come, Roserade. Let's explore this "Verdale Tunnel." Anton commanded as they both went right through the large crevice, starting their exploration.

((Sorry, sorry! I had a bit of a few busy days and just now got caught up with this RP!)) After a bit of an odd talking to with Roserade, Anton made his way back to see if there was anyone around. "Well, I'm back. Turns out Roserade here has a nice little Poke-crush on that Pokemon over there and-- I'm talking to myself. Wonderful... This is what I get for going away..." He grumbled as he looked over his surroundings for any sort of person nearby. "Hmm... Well, perhaps I should just go ahead and hightail it on my own. But... A trip to the Pokemon Center first." A few minutes later, Anton had came out of the center, only with Roserade by his side yet again. He had decided to keep Luxio within his Pokeball for safe measures, and now he had completely missed what he had remembered about the other routes being dangerous. With a few decisions, he went off towards the western part of Route 103, wondering if that was the way to see if Stella was nearby.
