[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

"My pokemon are all ready to do whatever needs to be done.  Less talking, Kogeki, more running!"  Lucas bolts after Randolph since the small man isn't making any attempts at being quiet when entering the next room.

The next room looks like it was a large coal vein that had been recently mined out.  Large quantities of the black mineral line every edge of the room, and the overhead lights dimly light the scene before the Champion, ninja, and former miner.



Byron, with his trademark shovel in hand, is directing his Excadrill.  Something seems off to Randolph and Lucas when they look at the Steel type Gym Leader, but their attention is drawn primarily to the three opponents that Byron's Excadrill is fighting and the immediate danger that they seem to be posing.

The first is the Steelix that passed by the group earlier, its exterior glittering like clear diamond wherever the light strikes it.  Everywhere it tunnels, it leaves a trail of diamond dust in its wake.

And here's my source for the image!

The other two pokemon are Onix, as pitch black as the coal they're tunneling through.  They look like any other Onix, except for the black coloration...

...and the rather large chip that one of them has in its horn.  Randolph shivers involuntarily when he sees it.

That's it.  That's the Onix.  That's the one that...

Randolph is brought out of his tunnel vision when Byron starts yelling orders to his pokemon.  "Alright, everyone's out!  Excadrill, prepare to bring down...wait, what?  What are you lot doing here?  I thought I told everyone to evacuate! Get the hell out of here!  This is too dangerous!  The whole mine could collapse!"

Byron's noticed the party, and while he and his Excadrill are distracted, the three subterranean serpents burrow underground, only to reemerge underneath Excadrill moments later!  The small mole pokemon faints on the spot, and Byron is blown back by the explosion of dirt, rock and coal, colliding with a wall behind him.  "Aaaaggh!!"  He swears under his breath as he stands back up, recalls Excadrill, and prepares to send out another pokemon to defend himself.

Lucas doesn't hesitate, running forward with a pokeball in hand.  "Byron!  Hang on, we're coming!  Randolph, Kogeki, I hope you're ready for one hell of a fight, because this doesn't look like it's going to be easy!"

The three large serpents are taking up most of the space in the room, so there's only enough room for each trainer to summon one pokemon each.
