Ropes were thrown up to the second storey windows and the hooks clung to the edges. Silver and Fletcher slowly climbed up the obsidian walls and into the white and red corridor undetected.
"Right, now to find the-"
"Hey!" Silver was cut off by a cloaked grunt who had noticed them. He reached for a PokéBall, but an orb of blue energy struck him in the chest, knocking him out.
"What the..." Fletcher looked to the direction that the attack came from, and saw someone wearing a red cloak, with a Lucario by their side.
"Who are you?" Silver asked, but the figure remained silent. They pointed at a door, so Fletcher opened it.
"Another corridor..." The person in red started leading the way down this newly discovered corridor, the Lucario staying right by their side. Silver and Fletcher looked at each other for a moment before they started following, wary that they might be being led into a trap.
After a few minutes of walking, the figure stopped in front of a door that was a different design to the others. This time, Silver went and opened the door, and gasped when he saw what was in it.
"What is it?" Fletcher asked, making sure he was whispering.
"Money...lots of money. There has to be millions, maybe even billions here."
"Now we know how they managed to build this place."
"Yeah...but we're here to find that king they keep talking about, not their bank account." So they kept moving.
The castle was almost like a maze, with many corridors that twisted and turned and joined together and numerous doors. However, the cloaked figure seemed to know where they were going, at least until they forgot to notice a tripwire, and they fell over, making a noise for the first time. And that was when Fletcher's eyes widened.
"I knew it!" The cloak came off, and true to Fletcher's assumption, it was Red. She tried to cover herself but it was too late, so she huffed and stood up, her Lucario looking around warily.
"What the hell!?" Silver exclaimed. "You said you weren't going to come!"
"Well maybe I needed to pick up a few things first!" Red shouted back, her eyes avoiding Fletcher at all costs. However, the fight didn't last long as an alarm started to ring loudly in the ears.
"Crap!"
