What Could Go Wrong? (Pokémon Alternative)

------#Chapter 19------

Lillie

We were called once again to the deck by Hobbes. The team Mother proposed consists of Luna, Gary, Dawn, Paul, and Leaf. I chose to stay behind because of the fact that I want to rest. Mitsumi still decided to stay behind along with Drew and May. I do not know the exact reason why but I don't think the reason is they're lazy. Anyways, Lana and Mallow were happy that I stayed behind and I was too. I want to bond with my best friends. 

"So, when are they going down there again?" Lana asked. "Also, what does the Atlantis looks like?!" She said with sparkles in her eyes.

"Well it was pretty dark down there and the whole place looks like shit," I said with honesty. "And they are going back there by tomorrow morning. They are actually sleeping right now."

"I can't believe they can sleep this early. It's still 6 pm!" Mallow said. I mean she does have a point, how can this bunch of people sleep that early when they have more energy than all of us combined? 

"Anyways, who wants to play LoP?" I asked while I brought my laptop out. 

"Well of course us, who else?" Lana said while taking out her laptop.

"Stop being so negative Lana," Mallow chuckled. "You will damage Lillie's soul."

"I felt my heart crack." I laughed along with the two.

Luna

"Alright wake up!" I knocked on their doors while running through the hallway. All of them came out with tired expressions on their face. It's expected, it's only 4 in the morning.

"Can you at least be less quiet than your brother?" Paul said while yawning.

"Nope I can't, and please address me with respect because I am your mentor," I announced

"Yeah for at least 3 days." Dawn rolled her eyes.

"I really can't believe he allowed you to be our substitute mentor," May said. "I thought it was going to be Professor Oak."

"Well as he said, Prof. Oak is busy with his work with Prof. Sycamore." I pointed out. 

"Let's just go," Gary said, clearly annoyed. "I want to go back to sleep as soon as possible."

"Then better find a worthy discovery down there so we can go back in just 2 hours."

"Shut up."

After eating our breakfast, we gathered on the deck and we were greeted by Mr. Hobbes. We were given instructions and a pair of goggles. Apparently, he made a map of the Atlantis based on the places they already went to yesterday. We were also told to not touch anything down there and to explore the place to make the map more detailed. We were divided into 2 groups and he asked us to group ourselves so, in the end, I was with Gary and Leaf while Paul was with Dawn. It was of course planned by me and Leaf.

The door was pushed open, startling us. "Can I join?" The mysterious person was Lana. 

"Why is that, Ms. Lana?" Hobbes asked. 

"Well, I heard that there are plenty of strong Pokémon down there and I was hoping if I could battle some of them or even better if I can catch some." Lana explained, "Don't worry, I can protect myself. I am confident enough to say that my Pokémon can match up to the wild ones down there."

"Understood, Ms. Lana." Hobbes agreed. "Luna?"

I turned my head towards him in disbelief. I want Paul and Dawn to be alone but putting her in my group will just make it unfair for the two.

"I appreciate your bravery, Lana." I said, "Then if it's okay with you, you're going to be with Paul and Dawn." I said it. My plan was a failure.

She nodded in agreement. We still have an hour before we start exploring the sunken city. 

After half an hour, we passed by the area where we were separated from Ash. From here, we split into two groups. Lana's group decided to go to the left side while we took the right side. We plan to meet at the end as the place just goes in a circle. Anyways, our plan is to scan the area and help detail the map so the next they want to explore this area, they're not going to encounter that much problem. Next is to take pictures of objects that are worth examining and lastly, is to scout the next area if time permits. We plan to go back tomorrow with Ms. Lusamine's team and examine the next area, which should be smaller if we base the geography of Atlantis on the ancient books. Moving on, there's not much to see here at the outer area of the sunken country besides houses and buildings that are already in ruins.

I pointed my flashlight at one of the houses as the Remoraids swam away from the light. It's been 30 minutes since we parted ways and our mission is much faster than expected. Is Tentacruel the only Pokemon that's like that around here? Anyways, we have been swimming down here for almost an hour so we still have 5 hours left. What was our mission again? Ah right, to explore the first area. That's impossible, why did I say to meet at the end? It's going to take years to reach the end of this place. 

After another 30 minutes, our group decided to take a break for a few minutes. I decided to roam around the area so I let out Floatzel to help Gary and Leaf if needed while I took Gyarados with me. As I scan the area, I saw a huge building the closely resembles a barn. Gyarados checked in first and I followed after him as soon as he gave a slight nod, indicating that it was safe. I looked around inside and the first thing that I saw was a large box sitting at the far end of the barn. Shit, that almost looks like the one my brother saw last time. The ground suddenly shook and the water around me was getting sucked out of the building.

I decided to head out before any wild pokemon suddenly attack me. As soon as I turned around, standing before Gyarados was another Gyarados but the wild pokemon was ten times bigger than any Gyarados I have ever seen. How did I miss a HUGE pokemon like that?!

I swam as fast as I can to my pokemon and held him tightly. I tried to give a command but the water was making my instructions unclear for Gyarados to understand.

"Use Giga Impact to escape!" I managed to say but I don't know if he understood.

Gyarados slightly nodded and used Giga Impact to run past the huge Gyarados. Thank Arceus we got outside of the building. As soon as I relaxed, the wild pokemon let out a loud cry before following us. The red aura surrounding him was getting bigger making it easier to see. The water around us started to get suckled towards the huge pokemon's direction. As I look at the threat behind us, the Pokemon grew bigger.

"Use Dragon Dance!" I shouted but Gyarados didn't perform what I said. "Gyarados, use Dragon Dance!"

Gyarados then got enveloped by a sky blue aura as he did the move. After a few seconds, he got faster.

I looked behind me only to see the wild pokemon closely following behind us. I told my Gyarados to do Dragon Dance again and again until he reached his max speed.

After a minute, I saw Gary and Leaf looking out from our resting spot. I signaled them to help me but they only shook their head and they quickly disappeared. Those bitch!

"Gyarados use Stone Edge to slow down it down"
