The Campagna Adventures

Chapter 28-The Destination of the Scrolls

Phil woke suddenly.  The teen sat up, and sleepily tried to divine what had woken him.  After a moment, his phone range again.

"Hello?"

"Morning, Phil!  I finished the analysis of the data package you sent me."

"Okay, can't you just send it to my Pokedex wirelessly?"

"Yes, of course.  It should already be there.  The Campagna Pokedex now contains information on Aveon, the Flying type Evolution."

"Why did you call me?"

"Well, based on the data you gave me, Aveon is a fast flyer with great endurance.  It also hits very hard.  However, Aveon does not have the greatest resistance to attacks, especially ones that do not make physical contact."

"Thanks, goodbye."

"Bye Phil!"

Phil hung up, and then checked the time.

"Could seriously not have waited.  It's four in the morning!  Once I wake up, I can never get back to sleep.  Looks like I'm getting an early start."

The Aura Guardian stumbled downstairs for coffee, and a lot of it.  He also ate breakfast, about a dozen pancakes.

"I've never eaten this much in my life.  I wonder if my Aura is consuming more energy, of if it just boosting my metabolism.  Either way, I can live with eating a truckload and not gaining weight."

'Phil!  Where are you?'

'Blazer, the professor called two hours ago.  I woke up and came downstairs for coffee.'

'Oh, okay.  Should I wake the others?'

'No, let them sleep.  We have a busy day today.'

Blazer then left the room and joined Phil in the lobby.  Over the next hour, everyone else from their group, human and Pokemon, joined them.

"Good morning, Phil.  I see you are ready to get moving."

"More like Professor Pine woke me at four in the morning and I haven't been able to get back to sleep."

"Well, today we finally discover what lies at the destination the scrolls have been pointing to."

"How long will it take to get there?"

"We should arrive some time this afternoon, probably before fifteen-hundred hours."

"So, before three."

"Yes."

"Morning boys."

"Good morning, Rachael," Phil and Denny responded.

"Is it about time to go?"

"Yes, as you and Denny eat."

After everyone ate, the group headed out.  They left Forental behind, and began following the map hidden in the scrolls to the secret location.  They were uncertain what would be there.  Denny's first interpretation had said that more information laid there.  However, his newest interpretation was that it was a cave with something inside so secret and valuable that it was not even described.

They traveled all day, the trio did not even stop for lunch, instead opting to eat on the move.  So it came, that just after two, they arrived at the top of a sheer cliff.

"Denny, what does the map say about a cliff?" Phil inquired.

"The cave should be right here, perhaps it is in the face of the cliff."
