Lucas Diamond

Lucas looked at the cave paintings in the ruins and took pictures for more research. While Lucas enjoyed being a trainer he found the rich mythological presence in Sinnoh to be just as entertaining. While he was exploring the ruins he came into contact with one pokemon but in different forms. It was called Unown, he had heard about these in books. There was a whole alphabet of them and in Sinnoh, this was the place to catch them. He has encountered 7 types of them so far. He wanted to stay and catch them all but he knew he couldn't. The cave was old and full of cobwebs. Lots of paths leading down and up, almost like a maze. Lucas battled multiple trainers all there for the same reason, to catch Unowns and explore the ruins. Lucas eventually found his way into a room with writing on the wall but it was all in the Unown symbols.

"Holy shit, that's insane, wonder how old this is?" Lucas said, touching the wall.

Lucas had no idea what he was reading, he never studied the Unown language and now he kicks himself for it because it could be something amazing if he did. Learning the Unown language was extremely difficult not only because of the lack of research on the topic but because it was unknown if all the types of Unowns were found. Lucas took a picture of the writing and looked behind him to find some loot on the ground. He found some items that could sell for good money but he also found an HM called Defog. Lucas so far had a couple of HM moves he had Rock Smash, Cut, Flash, and now Defog. While Flash wasn't an HM move it had an alternate use making it just as useful as one to him.

"Defog huh, there's barely any information on you," Lucas said, looking at Defog.

Lucas released Gabite into the cave, he found out that he could use Dig to mine his way out of the cave with ease. Gabite looked at Lucas and looked around the cave with a smile, it reminded him of his old cave where he used to live.

"Hey, when you're done looking can you dig us out of here?" Lucas asked.

Gabite gave a small nod and walked around the room of the cave. Lucas still had problems getting Gabite to listen to him but Gabite was more likely to listen if Lucas just showed some respect. Lucas sat down and rested his feet for a while. He wondered what this new HM would do. He knew he could use it because Fantina mentioned it when she gave him the badge. He decided to call up an old friend he met at the beginning of his journey.

"Roger here," Roger answered.

"Hey Roger, it's Lucas we met all the way back a couple of months ago do you remember me?" Lucas asked.
