005 [video/action]

[Rika is not amused. At all. The way she is currently presenting herself seems to be completely different than in the past. She means serious business.] Whoever is responsible for this is going to pay. [And she is quite sure of who it is.] I do not appreciate something like this happening in a world that is meant to be peaceful, and I will do what I can to make sure it is stopped.

Therefore, I will be investigating this, since it seems to be coming from outside of Violet City, judging from the direction the crystal is growing. Due to the negative effect that this is having on the environment, I would not be surprised if something similar was going on with the pokémon in the general area.

If you would like to accompany me, meet me at the Center. Make sure your team is well rested and prepared for battle.

*Heading into the ruins proper, he is looking about the ruins in a curious yet cautious manner.*

Hmmm... It looks like everything in here got turned into crystal as well... Is it me, or are there more of those Pokemon outside than in here...?

...It's not just you. It seems that most of the Unown have migrated outside of the Ruins. There seem to be none left here.

So... Do you think if we can make them all come back here, the crystals will go away?

Hmmm, that's possible. How would we go about doing that, though?

Hmm... Well... Maybe if everyone works together to knock them all out, they'll all have to come back here to recover...?

That's possible. Do you think that there may be some deeper into the Ruins?

There could be a pack of them deep within... And if not, there might be a clue as to what made them all leave. I certainly haven't see anything too unusual yet though.

... more unusual than the crystals.

If we could find the exact source of the crystal... I think we will find out all we need to know.

Yeah... Although that might be easier said than done. *whoa there he is stopping in his tracks as some more crystals start to jut out of the ceiling ahead of them.*

Aah! [She jumps out of the way as even more crystal springs out of the ground where she was standing only moments before.] ...We'll just have to be careful then.

--whoa! T-that was a close call, Rika-san... *a pause* Speaking of careful... *He glances down to Hina as she makes a confused 'rowr?' noise, and after a moment of consideration, he is pulling out her pokéball and recalling her.*

... I'll have an easier time avoiding all these sudden growths knowing she's safe in her pokéball.

Don't worry, I can handle any other crystals that decide to pop up!

That's a good idea. [She then recalls her own pokémon into their respective pokéballs.] This way, we'll be able to focus more on ourselves.

Since the ruins so far just seem to be an Indiana Jones style gauntlet of crystals, the less bodies to look out for the better.

... Indiana Jones? [Her confusion at that is immediately interrupted by another piece of crystal appearing out of the ground nearby.]

Ah, it's a movi-- whoa! We should... probably keep moving. *Hayate makes a swift and solid kick to one of the ceiling crystals that came down before to clear an easier opening, before he makes his way forward!*

... I didn't know you were able to do that. [She wasn't expecting Hayate to be that strong.]

[Putting her bewilderment aside, Rika follows him.]

*You have much to learn, Rika--* Huh? Oh, that's about as big a one as I can break in here. The ones out on the route are a lot easier to send crashing down.

You must do a lot of training.

--ah! Yeah, I do... I've even been keeping it up here. It's a daily routine for a reason, after all.

Really? When do you train?

Hm? Well... An hour or so before I turn in for the night. *In other words, usually when you are fast asleep*

Is your training routine fun?

Fun...? It was more out of necessity growing up, but... I've been doing it for so long, it just feels wrong if I don't do it.

...A necessity?

Mm, because of all the part-time jobs I had to take.
