After Pit made fools of us all we were all too happy to once again board Zapdos and leave. We flew due northeast from Lumoise City and we soon came across the Frost Cavern. We stood in front of it, and it stood in front of us as more of a mountain than a Cavern. A blizzard tore at our skin and chilled us to the bone. Through chattering teeth Put managed to say
"D-d-d-do you reckon it'll be any w-w-w-warmer in there?"
"there's only one way to find that out, Pit. Let's go." Owain responded. We walked into the Frost Cavern and were instantly relieved of the snowstorm's wind. Both Zapdos and Pit were ruffling their feathers in an attempt to heat up while Owain and I rubbed our hands over our arms. The whole internal structure of the cave was made of ice, whites, light blues, and reflections were all we could see all around us.

"Hey, is it that woman again? I thought I told you to buzz off! And if it's those religious people, I learned to only trust myself and money a long time ago!" a gruff voice said out of seemingly nowhere. We drew our weapons and stood on watch for any sudden movements.
"Well met, young ones. You remind me of my cousin when he used to go around saving his princess. You won't need those, I'm quite harmless really." it said again. About 15 feet from us a stocky fellow wearing yellow and purple emerged. He had a big nose, a head about half the size of his whole body if not bigger, and a moustache that zig-zagged out either tide of his face. On his cap was the letter "W", but it looked almost as if it were an "M" but upside down rather than a "W".
"Hello there Zapdos! I'm afraid some blonde lass with a gun scared off your friend... And ruined my cave while she was at it! Do you have any idea how hard it is to get ice to make these shapes?"
"Samus? But, but, she was so BEAUTIFUL!" Pit said in an outburst.
"Pit, shut up. We need to hunt her down. Excuse me sir, whe-" I said before the man interrupted
"Sir? Oh pah-lease! Call me Wario, I'm way past being regarded as a "sir" rather than an "it". I'm Wario, Mario's reject cousin!"
"why we're you rejected?" Owain asked
"I was too fat to keep up with Mario and Luigi."
