Just a note! It's required to mention what digging post you're on in each post, so make sure all participants in the thread are doing that. It's a good habit to keep up for future threads as well. <3

Kyle laughed at Abi's odd way of showing affection it hurt his face a bit before he removed the towel to see that he wasn't bleeding anymore. However he had a bunch of dried blood on his face to which he reached into his pocket and took out a bottle of water before dabbing it on the towel and wiping his face clean with it. He then stretched his face and stood back up with Rockweller looking happier than before. "Alright! I'm good Abi! Now lets figure out where we're going to go?" He said as he looked ahead of the duo. There were two paths they could take..plus they needed to find a way out of the place eventually. (Post 11/20)

Shards! Woo! He clutched the pile of shiny shards in his claws and passed them to Abi and Kyle, making sure to give them an equal portion each. Abi meanwhile was still fretting about Kyle's injury. She contained her anxiety however and put on a mask of confidence, steadying her breathing to seem calmer. As Kyle dabbed his messy face, she looked around at the cave. There were two paths ahead of them and at Kyles words she nodded to the left one, " That one. Left is always right." Grinning at her stupid play on words she picked herself up and offered a hand to her mining partner. Drift (M) lvl 15 [/style] [style=padding: 10px;]1/10 [/style] [/style][/style]

Kyle smiled and tried to laugh but as of right now it hurt a bit to do so. So he simply keeping wiping his face trying to clear the dried blood. "Hey..so...I just realized I know nothing about you Abi. Tell me about yourself! After all we're friends aren't we?" he said with a corny grin as Rockweller silently shuffled next to him. She was still worried about her trainer but he was pretty tough after all. Kyle then began to blow his nose attempting to get the dried blood stuck in there out of it. Post 2/10

He beckoned to Rockweller, wondering if she wanted to come with him or stay and protect their trainers. Either way was good with him. Abi adjusted her pack, resettling her hidden wings. She hoisted her pick axe onto her shoulder and began picking her way through the rubble. The darkness of the cavern was punctuated by small torches in the wall. She was glad of this, it meant she didn't have to use the light she'd brought with her. stepping carefully over stones she was constantly aware that the ground beneath her might shift, everything here was still quite unstable. Smiling at Kyle she said, "What do you want to know?"Abi wasn't exactly a socialite, so Kyle had his work cut out for him if he expected to get to know her very well. But hopefully he'd think she was worth the effort. Drift (M) lvl 15 [/style] [style=padding: 10px;]2/10 [/style] [/style][/style]

"Well..." Kyle said scratching his head. "I've been curious of your backstory..and why you're so afraid to..not wear such constricting clothing?" He then turned a bright red color "Uh..I mean..i'm not trying to be..well..you know..just curious.." he said as he looked away from Abi but continued to walk. Rockweller shuffled after Drift as he led the way though the caves she wasn't nearly as worried about Kyle now that he was talking and laughing about things. Post 3/10

He grinned at the sound, enjoying how sharp his claws had become. He turned briefly to see that Kyle's aron was following him. Looking on up ahead he saw only flickering shadows in the torchlight. Nothing to warn him about what was to come. He kept his eyes peeled and his other sense at the ready. Who knows what could be around the next corner? Abi watched after her dual type pokemon, making sure that he and Rockweller were safe. Walking beside Kyle, she drew her wings even tighter against her back, glad of her large hoodie and backpack. "My backstory? Well.. em.. I was adopted? And Once I came of age I began travelling with Ori, my ponyta. There's nothing really more to tell... I like loose hoodies, they're just comfortable..." she trailed off, unwilling to say much more. "What about you?

Kyle gave a sort of look towards Abi as she stopped mentioning about her reason for heavy clothing all the time. He was curious..plus he wanted to know her better but it was polite to answer her question completely first. "Well...I grew up in Sinnoh. Kinda a normal upbringing. Nothing unusual that is." As they walked through the left passage he spoke to Abi "Um..so..what do you have under your jacket?" he said as he pointed to her back. He was very curious as to why Abi was so secretive all the time. They had several hours to kill so it might as well be spent getting to know each other. Rockweller in the meantime followed Drift quietly. She occasionally looked up at him and smiled before continuing to scout ahead. By the sound of the caves it seemed they were coming upon some sort of water supply soon. How big would be something they'd have to see themselves. Post 4/10

When she'd found out about her adoption she began to view her whole childhood as a lie. It was hard for her to have any fond memories of it. To her if felt like her life truly began when she partnered with Ori. At the direct mention of her jacket she snapped her head around at Kyle and creasing her brow. "Under my jacket? Just me, duh. Don't tell me you want me to strip off or anything in here, it's freezing! And we're not that close." She allowed her sense of humour to take over her reaction and smiled so as not to look alarmed. But beneath the facade her mind was racing. Why on earth was he asking such strange questions? To her knowledge she hadn't been holding herself any differently than before, she hadn't drawn any particular attention to her back or anything. What was going on? Did he know something? Had he seen something?? Abi tried to steady her heartbeat as she stepped carefully over a few loose stones. The tunnel was long and it seemed to be getting narrower. The sound of water reached her ears and she looked up. Drift was much further ahead with Rockweller, but by the fresh bite in the air she knew they must be hitting upon an underground river or lake soon.

As Abi began to laugh it off about what he said before Kyle's eyes narrowed. He had a gut feeling that something she was saying wasn't exactly correct in what she said. So as he stopped walking he looked Abi up and down and was about to say something before he just laughed and said "Well! It's true we're not close yet!" he said with a big goofy grin before he put his arms behind his head and continued to walk forward. Just like Rockweller had thought they soon came across a big gap in the cavern which was filled with water. It was about 30 feet across to the other part which seemed to be where the path continued. Rockweller looked nervous since she wasn't a fan of water and simply sat before she looked up at Drift with a concerned look on her face. Post (5/10)

Now what? She looked at Kyle for any suggestions, but before she could ask him, Drift stepped forward. He grinned down at Rockweller, in a reassuring manner and raised his claws to the water. Beginning a circling motion, he extended his arms and summoned a strong Icy Wind. Abi shivered and crossed her arms. She watched, impressed, as Drift directed the freezing wind towards the still water. He froze a path across for them, trying to get the ice as strong as possible to hold their weight before he halted the move. Looking around at his group he flashed his teeth and mimicked his trainer, folding his arms across his chest. Drift (M) lvl 15 [/style] [style=padding: 10px;]5/10 [/style] [/style][/style]

Kyle was impressed by the Weavile's resourcefulness it was impressive how well the technique she choose worked. "Way to go Drift!" he said as he began to walk across the ice. Rockweller however froze and didn't move..she was weak to water and therefore had a fear of it. So she just stood there. Post (6/10)

She looked over to Kyle who also seemed suitably impressed. Together, she and Drift made a move to follow Kyle across the ice bridge, but the dual type pokemon turned around when he noticed that Rockweller was not with them. Practically skating back to the edge of the water her extended his claws gently towards the little aron. He would hold her aloft and and keep her safe. If she wished, she could even perch on his head! He was strong enough to carry with no problem, and he could turn the water to ice quick enough if there was any danger.

Rockweller wasn't going to move. She had the experience of falling into water at one point and she barely survived if only because Steven dove into save her. So she was hesitant with the weight of her steel/rock body to cross the ice which would probably break if she stood on it too long. So as Drift offered to help her she slowly waddled over to him and let him pick her up to carry her. Watching all of this Kyle smiled as he waited with Abi for the two to cross the ice. Post (7/10)

Abi stretched, careful to keep her wings still even though she wanted to stretch them too. There was a new tunnel in front of them now, darker than the previous one. As she neared it she saw that there had been a cave in halfway through and that much of the path had been blocked. "I can't tell from here, but we might be able to squeeze through where the light is coming from, see the gap?"If they couldn't they'd be forced to dig a bigger gap. That shouldn't be too difficult however, considering the pokemon they had chosen to bring. Starting forward, Abi turned and entered the new tunnel.

Rockweller got off of Drift when he let her down and looked up giving him an eye smile before she waddled forward to the dark cave ahead of them. Kyle walked forward a bit before looking around. It was dark and there was probably no way to see anything inside of it. That was until Rockweller moved ahead of the duo and used a Metal Claw to light up the front of them with a light glow. It was a very smart idea so Kyle smiled and said "Great job Rockweller!" to which Rockweller felt proud and then continued to lead the way. Post (8/10)

"Good idea", she said to the little aron. Looking ahead she was able to judge the distance to the cave in ahead of them better. Maybe Rockweller could use her metal claw to free up some of the rocks so they wouldn't have to squeeze through the tiny hole? Abi put this idea to Kyle, wondering what he would think of it. Perhaps it might be too dangerous to shift so much weight around in such a small tunnel, they could cause another collapse. Drift followed Rockweller's lead, happy that she was able to help so effectively. Drift (M) lvl 15 [/style] [style=padding: 10px;]8/10 [/style] [/style][/style]

Kyle nodded to Abi as she suggested Rockweller destroy some of the caves. "Rockweller you heard that? If you could Head Smash through the wall ahead. Perhaps we'll find somewhere with more shards to get." Rockweller wound up and was coated in an aura before she charged and smashed right through the wall opening up a very large cavern which was circular and looked as if it had never been touched. Kyle stepped through the hole and waited for Abi and Drift before the cavern behind them seemed to close off from the force of the attack. After this Kyle got his shovel off and said "Well! We should dig here for a while!" before he picked a spot to their right and began to dig into the ground.

Her feathers raised along her wings she grabbed Drift's arm and quickly pulled him through to the other side and safety. Her weavile looked back and watched the stones tumble into place, completely blocking off the route they had just come through. He decided it would be his job now to find them a way out. He glanced at his trainer who had already begun to hack away at the rubble with Kyle, and then at Rockweller, checking to make sure she was all right. Once he was convinced everyone was safe enough he dug his claws into the nearest wall and began to scale the rock surface, enjoying the physicality of the task. Abi swung her pickaxe in a large arc and forced it down on the point between the wall and the floor. A satisfying crunch and a visible crack made her smile and continue.

(OOC: So..would you like to continue this farther? Or call it quits?) Kyle continued to dig in an orderly fashion before occasionally coming across Shards that he would take and put into his pocket to save them. He was digging farther down and every time he seemed to dig down another layer of dirt he would find more shards until he had a decent amount. Rockweller wasn't as skilled with digging down so she would find rocks and push them around towards Abi and Kyle respectively.
