C53 - Case Solved. (Part 2)

"""Roooo~~~"""

"!!!" Lucas took a defense stance and looked around cautiously. He swore he heard someone's growling, and soon he caught something in his eyes.

"Eh?! Rotom?" He looked at the newcomer in surprise.

He didn't expect to encountered the Pokemon inside the ruins. If he guesses correctly Rotom Pokemon can be seen living with some old antics, broken gadgets, etc. They're the only Ghost Pokemon less aggressive and didn't hurt living beings, if necessary unless pranking is an act of aggression.

"""Rooottooo~~""" One of the Rotom, attacked him with Discharge. Lucas saw the Rotom used a move immediately tumble in the ground.

"Hey! My friend Rotom, here I come here for peace." He called them and planned to negotiate with them if possible, but the group of Rotom didn't hear him and released other moves! (A/N: Peace never an option]

"..." Tsk! Lucas tumbled once again and escaped from their attack. He took his Pokeball and released his favorite buddy against them!

"Stone Head! Sol! Go!"

"Sol!" "Tarrr~~♪" Absol and Pupitar revealed themselves. They immediately took action, the duo used [Dark Pulse] while Pupitar tanks all Electric Moves.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The group of Rotom counters the duo with electric moves, but Pupitar tanks them like nothing and releases another dark pulse. Absol released another Dark Pulse and they were defeated.

"Damn! I'm almost killed. I should not trust the information from the pokewiki." Lucas complained and captured all the fainted Rotom. He looked around searching for any valuables in the basement.

"Too much bone, unfortunately I can't process them to create a bone meal like the thing I received before." Lucas shook his head in disappointment, the miracle of bone meal was awesome.

("..") Chu heard his thoughts was speechless and didn't say anything.

He looked around searching for anything valuable and interesting. Unfortunately, he didn't find anything valuable in the basement. Hmmm?

"Air? Hidden Passage?" He looked closely in the certain direction with the whistling sound. He looked closely at the wall and discovered something uneven in the wall.

"Big sis?"

("You're right, it's a hidden passage. Congratulation, little Lucas.")

"Hidden Passage, huh." Lucas looked in the direction of whistling sound and released his Lucario. Lucario looked around and didn't find any opponent, he was confused and asked him.

"Luc~?" (Do you need help?)

"Yeah! I need you to examine the mechanism and find the entrance of Hidden Passage." Lucas explained his problem. Lucario's lips twitch he didn't expect a day would come, he will be tasked to use his aura to open the locked door.

"Luca?!" (Am I, graverobber? The noble me.) Lucario complained at Lucas despite his calm nature, but he has pride as an Aura Pokemon.

"Sigh! Buddy, we're civilized people and our current situation isn't robbing, but finding the truth and if he saw resources like gold. They're all rewarded for our hard work! Just imagine your girlfriend becoming happy with the resources in your hands, maybe a date." Lucas explained his idea and Lucario didn't say anything, but his eyes became sharper.

'Yes! our situation isn't robbing, but finding the truth and if we found treasures. They're all rewards of our hard work!' He thought. He reasoned his action and made a choice.

"Luca! Lu?" (50-50! Deal?)

"..." Lucas looked at with a strange face. Did he just say 50-50?

"60-40. 60 for me and 40 for you." Lucas looked at him with a sharp gaze. Lucario shrugged his shoulders and accepted the deal, he won't complain, at least he can buy gifts for his girlfriend. A ribbon maybe?

"Luc." (Sure.)

Lucario looked in the hidden passage before stomping the ground and spreading his aura. Few seconds later, he saw the code and unlocked the door.

Dong~ Dong~♪

"Good job! buddy. Let's go!" Lucas praised him and they entered the passage without knowing what surprise was waiting ahead of them.

Few hours later.

Lucas walked in the hallway, almost an hour and discovered dried bones including some scattered gold accessories, murals and writings. He checked every mural and saw something common in the writing such as eclipse, sun and sacrifice.

Lucario on other hand was amazed by the murals and collected some good items such as a strange crystal stone with colored DNA strand inside. Lucas turned his head, saw the item Lucario took from the ground and was surprised.

'Lopunnite?'

"Luca?! Lu Luca." (What?! I am not giving this to you even though you're my buddy.) Lucario warned his trainer while hiding the strange stone. Lucas rolls his eyes at his partner's attitude. He shrugged his shoulders and explained the stone briefly.

"Buddy, I won't take the stone, rather I want you to give that to your girlfriend with a bracelet if I guess correctly. That crystal was important for Kuni to grow stronger and giving her gained you huge points."

"...." Lucario looked at the crystal he picked with vigor. He can't wait to see his girlfriend's response and maybe...

"...." Lucas clicked his tongue and went ahead leaving behind the drooling Lucario. His image as an Aura Pokemon became fragile in his heart. 'What a pervert...'

("....") Chu didn't say anything and remained silent. She didn't dare to say the trainer influenced the Pokemon nature especially if the trainer was a gifted person.

Few Hours later. Lucas and his party reach the end of the corridor and what awaits them widens their horizon.
