Rui's face also starts to turn red again as well after that string of comments from Randolph, before quickly following after Kee in an exasperated huff. "...not again..."
Karen just looks confused at some of the things that were said. "...what the heck is a v-card? Huh? Hey, where'd everyone go? Wait for me, guys!!!"
And thus, the party splits once again, the search for the stairs started anew.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Kee, Karen, and Rui, traveling in the direction the weird Steelix came from, find a series of tunnels that it seems to have dug. The diamond dust that Randolph found traces of on prior floors lines the edges of the tunnels (though I don't think he informed anyone except Lucas about what exactly it is). The three travelers hear the steady dripping of water echoing through the passages. It's getting louder.
The tunnels look odd, though, and it's not just because of the diamond dust lining them. Where the ground slopes downwards slightly and the tunnels all meet, the darker stone and coal veins of the mine seem to intermingle with and transition into a much lighter colored stone, and the coal veins all but disappear entirely after wandering far enough from the darker stone. It actually looks a lot like a cave that would belong in Mt. Coronet.
Karen's looking around, partially nervous, partially awestruck. "...whoa...look at all that sparkly dust...do you think that Steelix left that trail?"
Rui's taking deep breaths, trying to calm herself. "...okay, this isn't so bad so far. This cave is really weird, though...it's quiet...a little too quiet, honestly..."
Eventually, though, the sound of dripping water is briefly interrupted by a splash! And then everything goes quiet again...try as everyone might, however, they can't quite determine which direction the splash came from. Did it come from the path straight ahead, or the turn into another passage? The sound echoes through the caves in such a way that it's impossible to tell which path would lead to the water...
Karen looks at Kee, asking the ever relevant question: "So...which way are we going?"
-------------------------------------------------------------
Randolph, Lucas, and Kogeki also encounter tunnels left behind in the wake of the Steelix. However, these ones don't look freshly dug, and they most certainly still look exactly like a coal mine. This group of three doesn't hear any water dripping now, either.
Diamond dust coats the path to the group's right (the one leading to the upper right of the tile), and they clearly hear what sounds like combat coming from that direction! The cave walls shake slightly, a grating roar is heard, and a voice calls out!
"Get the hell out of here, while you still have the chance! I'll buy you some time!"
Randolph and Lucas would recognize that voice anywhere. Lucas can't believe it at first.
"...is that who I think it is? That can't be right, though...he's supposed to be holding down the fort in Canalave..."
It very much sounds exactly like Byron, however. And it sounds like he...and someone else(?)...has either found trouble, or it's found him.

Nothing happens on either of these tiles. A bit boring, yes, but there is a (small) chance of that occurring when exploring Mystery Dungeons. Can't be exciting adventures and treasure finding all the time, after all.
Given the situation, this is also a good time to try and make preparations for what might be ahead. No pre-fight buffing still please, but swapping pokemon, attempting to stealth to the next tile, healing pokemon, etc. is all fair game.
Oh, and as for Aspido's Sitrus Berry...

...no, it hasn't regrown yet.
