"That's it!  That's the exit!  We're almost there!"

Marcus walks past Kee, taking the lead to show everyone the way out, but he stops in his tracks when one of the larger piles of rocks on top of a larger rock begins to shake.  Loose rocks fall off of the pile as a pokemon that had been hiding in them stands up and looks at everyone.  Red crystals decorate its hide, glowing in the fading sunlight as the sun begins to set in the background.

A very gravelly, grating voice follows as the pokemon turns to face the group, standing on a rock between them and the edge of the cliff that leads to the exit.

"So, you're the strange pokemon that my Roggenrola spotted in the cave we once lived in.  You've come to drive us away from our new home, haven't you?  I won't allow that!  This cliff is our territory, and none shall move us from it!"

Marcus looks very surprised to see this pokemon here.



"What do you mean this is your territory?  Roggenrola don't live in the Dry Forest!"

Boldore isn't having any of it, though.  It stomps on the ground with a solid sounding THUD! in anger!

"Silence!  Leave, or we shall have to force you to do so!"



"No can do, pal!  We've gotta get past you to get out of here, so if you're looking for a fight, then you've got one!"

Marcus briefly looks back at the rest of the group as he brandishes his bone in defiance while many of the smaller rock piles also start to shudder and fall apart, revealing a small group of Roggenrola that start to surround the group on all sides.

"Looks like there isn't going to be any reasoning with them!  Brace yourselves, because this looks like it's gonna be a tough fight!"

"Everyone attack!  Drive the intruders off!"

There's a total of 4 Roggenrola closing in as Boldore gives the order to attack from its pedestal in front of the group!  It's time for the first boss battle of the game!

VS Boldore!

Boldore Round 1 Initiatives
Roggenrola x2 A: (6) + 3 = 9
Daxter: (4) + 3 = 7
Pyra: (4) + 2 = 6
Boldore: (2) + 4 = 6
Karen: (4) + 1 = 5
Kogeki: (1) + 3 = 4
Roggenrola x2 B: (1) + 3 = 4
Kee: (2) + 2 = 4
Marcus: (1) + 2 = 3

Hearing Marcus' excited declaration, Pyra rushes forward to his side to have a look herself, her eyes glimmering with her own peppy energy as she spotted the exit too.

"Truly and verily, Marcus, the end of our expedition is at its beginning? *Looks for herself* Yes, yes, it is indeed! Soon we shall all enter civilization, yes, soon shall I learn what 'civil', 'civilized', 'civilize' , and all things 'civilization' mean !!"

Now isn't that great to hear? Or maybe not, depending on how you view that statement.

Alas, a rockblock quite suddenly made itself present, and with equal brevity would see no reason and declared everyone an enemy to be driven, diverted, or defeated. At this, the lil' demoness smile becomes....strained as she stared at the Boldore with deceptive calmness and nicity.

"So you and your own stand in our way, barring we and me from the conclusion of our journey? Very well."

In an instant, she gave the rubies in the rough and its minion a almost petrifying grin, her expression morphing into the worst kind of welcome.

"So shall you pay, by us ripping and pounding away at you and your stony gang."

Intimidate Triggered! - 1 STR to All Opponents!

She paused long enough to hear out Kogeki's plan for her, and gave him a most approving and toothy grin and simply purred in delight.

"Indeed, and agreed."
 
And wasting not a second more time, the brimstone imp was bearing down on the Boldore leader, mouth stretch wide open and eyes wide with carefree menace. Time for you to get chomped on, oh nom nom nom.
