The two trainers can easily swing their pickaxes above the short Pokemon (both are only a foot tall). Theo is carving right through the stone, proving how strong he has grown under Valder's care, even able to cut through the thickest stones. He'll be able to evolve very soon. ()
Sableye literally dives into the gaps left by the other workers. Ventus hears crunching sounds from within, and only Sableye's feet are sticking out.
Judging by those crunching sounds, it sounds as if the Sableyes Ditto had already hit pay dirt with the gems! Quickly and carefully placing his pickaxe down, Ventus crouched down and gently *Yoiked!* the mimic out (if possible)/hollowed after it (if not), saying to it in both instances before letting it go back digging: "Ditto, if you find any gems or valuable in the course of your digging,
do not eat them. Instead, horde and pile them up outside the tunnel periodically as you excavate it. Understood?"
Once that was impressed upon them, the researcher would resume digging the way forward out.

Gustav: (5) +6 = 11
Crustle: (3) + 2 Dex + 4 Survival = 9
The Crustle lumbers into view, its square shell taking up 95% of the tunnel, with only tiny glimpses of light beyond the cube. You can see multiple layers of Mt. Sentry in there - magnetic ore, fossil limestone, the shifting clay of so many tunnels, even a little fertile topsoil.
It's already hostile! Snip, snip!
(Typhon would like this place)
Heart become very careful about that Crustle and quick give some important order to Gustav. "Gustav my friend, be careful. Even with the typing advantage as Water/Ground (thanks to Earthpower) we need to be very much careful. That Crustle look very much strong, so lets finish him with our mostly powerfull moves. Use Water Pulse 4 times. Lets see how much that Custle can handle a empower STAB and Super Effective moves against him! Go get him Gustav!" Gustav prepare the cannon, more than ready to fire the torrent of Water cannoballs! "And if you got too much hurt (around 3 HP or less) I shall use a Potion! And after the potion use Aura Sphere instead of the fourth Water Pulse! (That would be count as fourth attack)"
Water Pulse Accuracy: Dex (3) + Fight (3) + Canalize (3) - Actions (4/5/6/7) = 5d6/4d6/3d6/2d6
Damage: Power (2) + STR (3) + STAB (1) + SE (1) = 6d6+1
Effect: D3 to confuse the foe.
Water Pulse 1
(1)(4)(4)(3)(2)
(5) That super effective attack dealt only 2 dmg! And Crustle looks a little big for his kind. 10/12hp -1 pain.
CD: (4)(2)(5)
Crustle brings its claw out from its shell, revealing a thickly packed ball of mud. It fires this at the Clawitzer with all the force of a cannon! This battle is bringing out the heavy artillery!
Rock Wrecker 1
2 Dex + 4 Fight + 4 canalize -1 acc -1 pain -2 actions = 7d6
(1)(1)(4)(5)(2)(2)(3)
4 Str + 6 power + 1 STAB - 3 vit = 8d6!
(6)(4)(5)(5)(4)(4)(3)(6)Â Clawitzer takes 7 dmg and faints! Crustle cracked him like a boiled lobster, and immediately started making another clay ball.
What a damage roll, wow.
Note that Crustle was holding back the lethal damage, however - otherwise you would have a dead Pokemon on your hands!
After KOing your Pokemon, Crustle waves his claws, trying to intimidate Heart into backing off - yet Heart already knows there is not very far to go.
Edit: Still some time for one more Water Pulse!
(4)
(5) +1 Crustle takes 2 dmg 8/12 hp -1 pain
CD: (6)(1)(6) Crustle became confused!
Never let it be said the Eremite never did anything for you.
Don't forget to keep track of your hit points (we're far from a Pokemon Center!) and your Potionized Pokemon (Only the first Potion per day is fully effective! Then half HP after that.)
Ah... Yes, she has indeed heard of the Alph Ruins and their mysterious puzzles, but only vaguely as it's not a thing she's primaly interested in.
Now that Furret's already on the other side, Shiva has practically no other choice than to attempt following him, that was also the moment where a timid eagerness awoke. If she wants to test her intuition and adult mind, here's a chance to do so! Preferably quick, if Furret can already sense a wild Pokemon. "If there's danger ahead, Furret, please come back to my side, do not start a fight on your own! Dizzy, if I may ask something more from you, please help me out in case we need to defeat whatever wild Pokemon we may encounter further this tunnel."
Humm..... At first, are there any distinguish features on these stone cubes that hint to a particular Pokemon? At first, she'll probably go after attempting to create the image of one Pokemon, seeing which face matches to the species she's going after.
I mostly solves such puzzle by taking a good look at the given pieces, then work towards the final picture by many attempts and rearangements, not being dishearted by failures and trying over. I hope that'll work here?

'Sableye' is already holding a gem. Not any raw and unpolished gem, though. This one is already quite round, though still rough with stony protrusions, and it has little red and purple swirls in it like a dab of toothpaste or the insides of a child's marble.
Insight+ Knowledge: (2)(3)(4)(4)(4)(6)(3)
The well-traveled researcher recognizes this as a Mega Stone, unpolished, and presumably Sablenite. He knows it will not work unless polished (a simple $300 task) and linked up with a Keystone.

Nathan raises an eyebrow. 'Looks like he probably has Rivalry for his ability...and he's not gonna make friends very easily...'
"Unfortunately, Shinx, I'm not going to leave just because you roar and growl a little at me. Not going to work against everyone. How about we have a little competition, then? I'll send out one pokemon, you fight them. You win, you'll have proved your dominance, and I'll back off. I win, and I'll have to ask that you come with me."

Heart when he see the Rock Wrecker hitting Gustav with full force, Heart could only see the time stop for some seconds. Next thing he see, Gustav was in his feet, barely able to move. That Cluster is too much strong. Damn, Heart should bring at least the others to help him out in this battle. "Gustav!" Heart run in Gustav direction and take the bigger cannon cluster to see if he is okay. Thanks goodness Gustav was alive. Heart quick return Gustav back to the pokeball. He gonna need the help of Nathan to heal his pokemon when this over. Heart return to see the big Cluster and say again. "You strong, too much strong. Yet you spared my pokemon. Thank you." He bow in respect to the might Cluster. "Unfortanely I cant go back might pokemon. My friends and I need to go foward in that path. We have a mission to acomplish. Also, if I return now I would ashamed myself. Gym battles is one thing. But important battle like that one...I need to go foward."
Then Heart bow again. "So I beg you powerfull pokemon. Let us continue our battle. I will restrain my Lethal Moves and you yours." Heart then take another pokeball. He make pray. "Rose, I think I will need your help more sooner then I though. Lend me your strengh and light the dark path of defeat with your crimson light of will! Go the Monkey Queen, Rose!" Then Heart throw his pokeball and releasing Rose! When she was out of the pokeball he feel the strengh of the enemy and a show of resolution and strengh between trainer and pokemon she release a big wave of hot crimson fire bringing light to this darkest cave! The cave became more and more brigh with the crimson light, almost like a sun was born inside this place full of darkness. She never run against a challenge! Not before and not now! She will show her resolution and power, in the name of his trainer! (Any reaction of Cluster about this scene
? And is the others capable of see such light show after Rose and Heart resolution? Perhaps a roll of Survival+Knowledge+Intimidate to see if the Cluster is scare after such resolute?) "We are ready! Cluster!"

Ven's eyebrows shot up as he took the Salenite from its mimic nameshake, a look of utter fascination + surprise on his face as he rotated the Mega Stone in his hands. ".....I was expecting gemstones from Mr. Finder's foretellings, not a Mega Stone, least of all your current form's Ditto! Hmm.....ah!
How about you hold onto this and show it to Nathan latter, my friend? With how......ill disposed towards me he is currently, gifting him this myself would not be as well received as you doing so in my stead, so what do you say?"
If yes, Ditto will be holding on the Sablenite and show it to Nathan ASAP! If not, Ven will keep a hold of it until the boy comes back to collect Ditto/his allotment of wealth, where upon he'll reveal it and ask if they want it (presumable with their characterisitic flourish of pulling it out of their sweater's sleave!)! Regardless, he'll give the metamorph a pat on the head for a job well done thus far, before ordering them to resume the dig and getting back to work himself.
