Welcome, to the Jungle of Stone

[Sephalesh]

Mira rose from her bow. "very unlikely. This is home. I leave only when i have buisness on the outside, otherwise, Stash does it." Mira replied. The gravelers made no move to attack Artery, but they immedietly tensed at Mira's bow.

[Destiny]

“I think……..that……..I use to be……..some type of powerful………Pokemon before I died. And I think……..that I been hear once. But I’m not shure.” Artery thought for a second. In his memory he saw Mira's grate grand father before.

[Sephalesh]

Mira had heard of such things, but never from a pokemon so close to her before. The gravelers grabbed each other in fear. This was a ghost from the past! Mira cleared her throat. "What do you mean?"

[Destiny]

“I use to be……..a grate Pokemon 100s…….. of years of go…….now I’m at least 300 years old.” Artery said. He was still saw Mira's grate grand father. “I think I…….saw your grate…… grandfather before.” Artery than said.

[Sephalesh]

Mira licked her lips. Her great grandfather had founded the Tyrant's domain. This was an unbeleivable discovery. "So old, yet you look so young. What do you remember about my great grandfather?" Mira asked.

[Destiny]

"He was very nice and young and he …….bowed down to me……like what you……. just did. That is all I remember. ” Artery said to Mira. He had lost the rest of the small memory.

[Sephalesh]

Mira nodded. The two gravelers just looked at the shuppet even more suspiciosly. "You have had a long journey apparently, to remember that. What would you like?" Mira asked. The twin gravelers looked at each other in horror as if she had said something horrible.

[Destiny]

Artery showed Mira his vision of the past. “Thank you my lord.” Mira’s grate grandfather said to Artery as he was bowing down to Artery. “You may rise. Now lets get to business. Now you will pay me whatever riches you find for the next 50 years. Because if it wasn’t for me the Onixs , Steelixs and other Pokemon would have never dug these tunnels. I am the one how gave them the rights to dig on my families land.” Artery said. “Yes my lord I will do so.” Mira’s grate grandfather said as he shook Artery’s hand and Artery shook back. The deal was made and the vision had ended. Artery still didn’t know what Pokemon he was.

[Sephalesh]

Mira showed no surprise to this, and he gravelers didn't too, but they had not seen it. "A long time ago, before the Onix's joined us for protection." She said to Artery. Her grandfather had been the one to begin the kingdom, and that had been hundreds of years ago. Now, they were one of the strongest domains in these tunnels, with onoy one other clan coming close to their power. "I am grateful to have seen that. Thank you." She said calmly.

[Destiny]

“Really I practically own these caverns back when I was alive.” Artery said. “It has been a long time sense I have been here. I would like it if some one would show me my way around.” Artery said.

[Sephalesh]

Mira only smiled. "Bash!" One of the gravelers perked up instantly. "What do you think of this pokemon." she asked. The graveler scratched his head. "i dunno boss. The story sounds a little farfetcht to me." Bash replied, confused. Mira nodded to herself. "Smash!" she said to the other graveler, who perked up immedietly. "What boss!?" He replied promptly. Mira contiued her orders, succinctly, and to the point. "Stay here, while I give Artery here a tour." She said. The graveler slumped. "Aww, Why am I always stuck with gaurd-" The larvitar cut him off. "JUST DO IT!!!" She motioned to Arrtery. "If you come this way Artery. . ."

[Destiny]

Occ//Sorry for the small post.

Artery followed Mira looking back at the two Gravelers. (“Strange Pokemon.”) he said to him sealf. "I'll repay you back Mira." he said. And used Psychic to make the Gravelers hit each other when Mira wasn't looking.

[Sephalesh]

The two gravelers faces turned blank when they strted hitting each other. There was a great taboo against psychic abilities down in these caves, due to an incident earlier in history. Mira lead Artery on, with Bash following, after he stopped beating up Smash. She let her arms out and indicated the tunnel she was in. "This is our current dig site, where we dig out strange items, and speical stones." She said.

[Sephalesh]

On the opposite side of the cavern Mira had just left to give a tour, A tall Rhydon entered behind a Geodude, followed by a vulpix, ghastly, and an Abra. Smash, the graveler, jumped at the little beldum the geodude was carrying. "I betta tell the bos-" Then he saw the ghastly. "GHOST!!!" He said running off to fetch mira.

[Ninetails93]

"What a knuckle head..." Haunt said. James then walked up to Mira and asked"I am thinking that you are Mira..."

[Sephalesh]

Mira said to Artery. "I will be back shortly. Intruders won't take long." she told the shuppet. the only real kind of visitors that came in escorted by a gaurd were intruders. She heard the vulpix talk to her. "What?" Prisoners don't talk to the leader. Then smash whispered something into her ear and hid behind her, trying not to be seen by haunt. Sadly, A graveler is bigger than a Larvitar. Mira, the larvitar eyes widened in surprise. "CRASH!? I can't beleive Crash has survived all this time!" She almost screamed in delight. The larvitar looked at the Geodude holding the beldum and he dropped it in fright. It landed on Captain Bournhald's toes, who fell on Smash, the graveler, who rolled into the wall, causing a tremor, which made all the pokemon fall down. the larvitar, mira was oblivious to it all and was kneeling besides crash, the beldum, soothingly petting it. Everybody else was running around in confusion.

Asaru blinked. "this looks more like a circus." he said to james and haunt.

[Ninetails93]

Haunt simply nodded in agreement. "I should say so...what is Mira getting all excited about???" James asked Asaru

[Sephalesh]

Mira returned to reality and saw everybody running around in panic. She Smash grabbed by the arm and slammed the graveler into the ground like a gavel. "EVERYBODY!! GET BACK TO WORK." She bellowed loud enough for everybody to hear. They all stopped panicking and started working again. Smash was rubbing his head. "Ouch. i aint eva gonna know why ya do that, boss"

Asaru went over to the Larvitar and asked james question. Mira didn't even look back at Asaru paying only attention to the beldum, crash. "This is crash, you know, the long lost lord of the iron empire, our neibhors, who were destroyed quite recently. You should kno-" She finally looked back at asaru and her mouth just dropped. Whatever she had been saying immedietly left her mind.

[Ninetails93]

"Oh boy..."James said to himself. "We don't know anything about your people...we came to ask about the Wall of Water that came out of this tunnel...can you help us?" James asked.

[Sephalesh]

Mira nodded her head, regaining herself quickly. All the work had stopped again, and they were all staring at Asaru, even Smash, normally afraid of ghosts, like haunt, didn't pay any other attention. "That wall of water was Crash, here. When the poor thing gets exited he lets out tons of magnetic waves, don't you?" Mira said soothing the knocked out Beldum in her arms. Where the geodude had struggled to lift the thing, Mira made it look like a piece of cake.

"I don't feel very welcome here." Asaru whispered to James.

[Ninetails93]

"Nether do I...I say we leave...we found out about the water and where it came from no let's go..." James said just about to turn away.

[are they going to find Stones or something on their way?]

[Sephalesh]

(No, but now. . .)
"WAIT!!!" Mira screamed to them. Her cheeks flushed a little. "Sorry, but there must be someway I can repay you! Anything!" She said obviously frantic about there leaving.

Asaru looked back, as he was about to leave with James. "james, she looks like she is serious. At least ask for something. i don't know much about this place either, but it looks like not taking something would be a big mistake." Asaru said, as all the pokemon had tensed up at them leaving so fast, and half of them looked angry for some reason.

[Ninetails93]

"Why do you wish to repay me??? All I did was help out someone in need...alot of us do..." James replied. Do him, it had sounded kind of wise.

[Sephalesh]

Mira looked down at the ground. "It is our way. When somebody saves one of those in my protection, that someone gets payment for what the overlord should have done, and you saved a prince." She said shyly. It was something that she took for granted, but surface dwellers had no notion of how honor should be done.

[Ninetails93]

James then sat down. "Mhm...what is one thing I have wanted more than ever..." James had to ponder this for some time.

[Sephalesh]

Mira waited patiently. There was usually a ceremony, but they had to leave far too soon.

Meanwhile, Crash, jerked back into the air, looked around, then turned to mira. "Larvie! You Alive?!" It said with a sweet musical voice.

Mira looked at the Beldum instantly and smiled, even though her voice was dripping with venom. "You should never run off like that, ever." And then they both embraced in a one-way hug.

[Ninetails93]

James kept on thinking.'The one thing I have wanted most of all...' He then sighed and asked:"You don't by any chance happen to have Elemental Stones down here... do you..."

[Destiny]

Artery than telaported Mira to a hidden, sealed off, part of the tunnels. “Now I remember something.” Artery said. Artery than used shadow ball to make a large hole in the center of the small room. Then he used Psychic too dig up all of these stones. They where not just stones they where evolutionary stones. And a lot of them. “This was my hidden stash that I had got from your grate grandfather when I was still a live.” Artery said.

[Ninetails93]

[whose great grandfather?]

[Destiny]

occ// Mira's.
