it was needless to say that bringing his fluffy, well-groomed, electric-type sheep to a set of underground ruins had not been the brightest idea that renae had ever sparked. nevertheless, melody was somewhat impressed that renae, far from dragging her around tea parlours and sight-seeing spots like he usually did, was in this for the money. he had made his intentions clear; buying tm cds for the little sheep was his top priority so that she would learn to do things other than bash headlong into other pokemon in a wild tackle. she could be useful: maybe her magnet might pick up a stray coin or two, or some relic copper. and sure, she was perhaps not the most perfect candidate to go digging for treasures underground, but hell. she was all he had, and in actual fact he could not dream of choosing anyone else. she was his best friend. who else would he want by his side when he was venturing into dark, scary caverns?
well, another human being, as well. as much as the comforting light from mareep's lightbulb tail would show the way through the murky blackness, and the static from her coat would keep him connected to her even if they somehow got lost, having another individual by his side - one whose language he could speak, since he had regrettably still not learned to understand melody's speech - would make him calmer. after meeting the unnerving, bearded man at the entrance, renae loitered about, looking for someone to attach himself to like a clamperl and never let go until they came back outside again. he ran his hands through his hair absent-mindedly, an old habit that a friendly shock from a helpful - and gleefully grinning - melody by his side helped to remind him he was trying to shake. maybe this wouldn't be so bad. maybe it wasn't full of ghosts and dark types and shadows and scary monsters. maybe.

"Woa Pikachu. That man really gave me the creeps." Miranda let out a relief sound as soon as they appeared out of range from that hiker. "Pika-pi!" Pikachu certainly agreed, there was no doubt the man would probably kidnap them given the chance. Midanda's loyal friend with a blue scarf jumped on her shoulders where he would keep watch for anything interesting, both wondered what these ruins were hiding, it was quite exciting, they were finally in this region and this would be a great opportunity to study some artifacts from another place other than their home. The cave was getting darker and darker, luckily Rikesh was a very useful android with light as it's eyes. "If I may be so bold, let me shine on your road, Master." a panda with a bamboo stick and a straw hat lightened the cave and gave them a big smile. "Thank you Rik." the walls of this cave looked just like those she already encountered but felt different when touched, her first thought was that this couldn't be a mystery dungeon, at least she thought so from the only difference so far but it is unwise to assume before getting in more facts.
The trio walked further in only yo stop at a crossroad, which way should they choose now? Rikesh lit all the roads to see a little inside them, there was one that curved downwards and one that went upwards but there was also one that looked straight and so many more variants it gave her a headache. "Ok, I think we should take the straight one." she decided and got zapped by Pikachu's thundershock. "Pika-pika." her Pokémon furiously pointed at a path that curved downwards and looked exited. "Alright, alright but I still think we should go the other way." this got her another zap, Rikesh was covering his mouth, nobody would have guessed what for. Only after a few meters their light malfunctioned, Miranda cursed all the spirits, now they have no way to continue or find their way back, it was amateurish of her to not bring at least an escape rope before entering but they were so exited they forgot. Pikachu would jump down from her shoulders and disappear from her sight, a short sight she had but this always meant trouble. The Pokémon would move forward only to bump at a wall, finding a way around it was easy as it kept bumping and bumping again until it found another way which was actually lit by a dim light from a distance.

the deeper he went into the ruins, the darker it got, until practically the only light was emanating in waves from melody's tail. renae's nervous habits were coming out in spades: he was running his hands through his hair like wildfire, and gnawing on the knuckles of his other hand. this was getting a little scary, being in the dark here. all of a sudden, renae heard movement down the end of the corridor. looking down, he maneuvered mareep's bulb tail like a flashlight, pointing it towards the sound. out of the darkness, he spotted a pikachu, and grinned. that meant there was another person here! running forward, arms outstretched and mareep bobbing up and down beside him, equally excited at the prospect of meeting new people. "hello? helloooo?" renae sang out into the murky blackness, mareep sending out a bleating echo of his words but in pokespeech. < hello? any pokemon there? > there was a person over there, a lady, and renae had never been happier to see anybody ever. mareep circled around the woman's pikachu with a raised eyebrow, bleating with condescension, < i'm melody. and you are? > clearly, the sheep pokemon did not appreciate being around strangers. renae just blurted out some very quick sentences, excited to see her. he ran across to her, speaking super quickly as his relief flooded through the caverns."oh i'm so happy there's someone else down here! did you just come down? my name's renae. i was getting worried - and the ghosts - and it's scary and so dark! would you like some company?" he blurted out, grinning. smiling like a fool, he rubbed the back of his head with his hand and held out another one to shake. though he much preferred to attack people with giant hugs, he presumed his lanky size and sudden appearance from the shadows might frighten the woman. he really really hoped she would not blow him off, or battle him or something. was that even possible down here in the dark? whatever, he really didn't want to be here alone. whatever it took, he was going to stick with this lady - even if it meant tying themselves together or something. he was not about to get lost down here!

Oh, the light started to reach to Miranda as well. Pikachu began to call out to her, Rikesh was panicking as always, this wasn't his favorite spot to be, caves and such. They heard footsteps echoing from that light, she was sure someone was out there just like her, maybe lost which wouldn't be good for them though. "hello? helloooo?" she heard someones voice, it was a human and a boy from the sound of it. "Hello? Over here!" she shouted so he wouldn't miss her by any chance, Pikachu called as well. Soon two silhouettes turned into a Pokémon and a boy, they both looked happy and she was in luck, they had some light. Rikesh would identify this Pokémon as a Mareep, it was an electric type, same as her Pikachu. Mareep began to circle around Pikachu would stand there looking a bit awkward.
"Hi there, boy I am glad you guys have light. You see mine just went off." she stretched her hands towards the boy waiting for a handshake "I am Miranda, this is Rikesh an android and my partner Pikachu." she introduced her party "Maybe you would like to explore these ruins with me?" Miranda was hopeful, without light the only thing she could do was to turn back to that creepy hiker man. The boy introduced himself as Ranae, he was scared of this place. "Oh, it is settled then. Lets explode together. And don't worry, ghost don't exist ahaha..... I think." her fist flew to the ceiling. "Ranae, do you know anything about these ruins? That creepy hiker man said something about finding shards around here. I am quite interested in them, you see I might not look like it but I am also an Archeologist." she wondered about those shards, what color they were and how rare too.

grasping her hands with his own, dwarfing it with his superbly lanky fingers, he shook vigorously, a huge grin shining almost by itself in the dark. suddenly, something she said struck home, and he froze, hand still mid-shake. "an android? you mean... a r-robot?" a robot? that was intense, he'd never seen a robot before, just on tv. he didn't think they actually existed, how cool was this? then again, he was certain that ghosts existed - his mother had told him stories all through his childhood - but if a scientist, or archaeologist, or however you pronounced it said so, then maybe he was wrong. he was learning a heap of new things today: mareep's lightbulb tail was very handy, robots could exist, creepy bearded hikers gave him the heebie-jeebies and ghosts were just a figment of his imagination. "i don't know anything about them," he confessed. "i just overheard someone once saying they bought a heap of tm moves from that hiker guy in return for shards, and i totally wanted some too. i think you dig them up?" he was trying to be helpful, really he was, but it was so difficult when he just didn't know anything. he started walking, slowly so that miranda would have time to catch up and walk by his side. mareep kept trotting merrily away in front, guiding them both by the light of her swinging tail. to bide the time she attempted to make small talk with the pikachu. < so, without me, you'd have been shafted, huh? > she mentioned ever so casually, looking at the electric-type with a malicious grin. oh dear. renae sighed, looking at her, trying to catch her attention and mouth silently, 'play nice'. it was no use, though: she was intent on being the best in this situation and in her book, that meant making the poor pikachu feel totally useless. it was mean. melody just didn't play well with others.
