Pokémon Lavender

"I don't know, I suppose so."

One of the rings lodged itself in place on Rob's wrist as well. Serena noted that as the marbles were brought closer to the bracelet, it seemed to reach out for them. "Maybe we should scan these with out PokéDexes..." she thought, pulling hers out and scanning the marble she held. The Dex whirred for a moment, before it said: "Iᴛᴇᴍ Iᴅᴇɴᴛɪғɪᴇᴅ: Uʀsᴀʀɪɴɢɪᴛᴇ." The young Trainer looked thoroughly confused.

"come again?" asks Rob, rubbing the bracelet now seemingly welded to his arm.

"Ask for details and uses for this, Ursaringite." Riley says as he watches the display.

Serena frowned at her Dex's screen. "It's a Mega Stone...whatever that is. You're supposed to use it on an Ursaring...makes sense."

"Why would there be so much of these Mega Stones for it to be only used on one Pokemon?" Riley asked aloud but it was obvious that he was asking himself. "It doesn't make any sense."

"How about we start with 'what is a Mega Stone?'" Serena said, noting that the Ursaringite bore a tan color scheme. Most of the other stones, even in the one tube, seemed to be different colors; blue and silver, black and yellow striped, green...

Riley looked over at the tube and his aura and his expression twisted to one of pure excitement.

"I think I got it! Look at the different colored Mega Stones and pair them to the types of Pokemon. They match!" Riley says as his aura spirit flew around the room as it looked like he was searching for something. "Yet what they do, I haven't the foggiest of idea."

"WhatI want to know is how did PI get these stones in the first place." Rob says, getting more tubes.

"Probably mined them or probably synthesized them but that aura sun, is a high purity orb with a concentrated core. The only way I know how to make one of those is three aura masters using power of aura control and assistance from the healers to keep the masters alive. The whole proses could kill all three masters unless they were aided by the healers. With assistance, the after effects would be everyone fainting but no fatalities." Riley rambled as he noticed something. "Ah, and if that's how they did it, there would be a depleted zone of aura connected by a aura line." Riley says as he turns to look down to Serena and Rob. "And the aura of the pack den would be perfect for two things. One creating that aura sun. Two, sending an SOS that Human-Fang, Shadow-Fur, and I could track. The pack was here alright, and these PI idiots are going to regret ever involving the pack." Riley says as he hi-lighted a tunnel of aura that lead to a black dome. "They killed the aura there, but left me a way to revive the land without throwing any red flags."

"Ok, so where does that leave us?" Rob asks, head swimming with all this aura talk.

"We replenish the Pack Den, and destroy PI once and for all." Riley says as aura from the sun slowly flowed from the surface of the sun until the black dome was filled in to reveal a battle field. The sun quickly replenished the stolen aura. "That will bring hope to the captive and there will be justice."

Serena blinked. "The 'sun' was just all these Mega Stones' Auras, though, since they were all in one place." She started scanning the various Mega Stones, looking for ones that would prove useful to the party and their Pokémon.

Rob looks for one for his pokemon. "Should I get the others and tell them whats going on?"

There was an Empoleonite for Rob, as it happened. "Yes, we should do that." Serena said, not looking up from her task.

Rob pockets the empoleonite and runs. Back to the rest of the group.

"Rob is coming back and Serena has calmed down a lot. What ever was wrong has passed." Shadow-Fur says to Desmond and Jack as Rob ran into the room. "What happened back there?" Shadow-Fur asked Rob.

"alot actually, we found what the aura sun was, turns out it was actually a concentrated amount of mega stones, whatever they do, PI wanted them and we also found these odd bracelet things that will attack to your arm, so don't get too close to them. " Rob says, showing the group the tubes and bracelets.

"Well, let's get out of here and regroup somewhere safe." Shadow-Fur suggests with a slight hint of it being an order.

"Right, lets go get Serena and the rest." says Rob.

Serena touched the Ursaringite to the bracelet and was surprised when the bracelet formed around it. "Huh...You know, Ursaringite sounds like Ursaring. Maybe if I send her out it will do something..."

Rob takes out the empoleonite, while ending out his empoleon. "let's see if anything happens." Rob says holding the stone close to his pokemon.

Shadow-Fur grabbed Rob and glared at him.

"Let's test those Mega Stones when we are not in an enemy base." Shadow-Fur growls at Rob as a threatening aura could make Rob shudder.

-------------------------------------------

"Um, let's avoid testing on Pokemon that could save our lives while we are in an enemy base. Besides Shadow-Fur is giving Rob the 'you ignore me, you die' aura." Riley warns as he points to the way the group came. "Get back to the surface so we can get to a safe place and figure out what those things are."

"We still haven't figured out where or how PI is going to set off that quake!" Desmond said to Shadow-Fur. "We can't leave until we do!"

"I'm not going to the surface until I figure out how to stop whatever it is PI is planning!" Serena glared at Aura!Riley.

"That could be an issue." Serena whipped around to find that a lone guard, one of the bracelets and a Mega Stone on his arm, casually leaning against the doorframe. "You see, you're trespassing, and that's illegal. Therefore, I'm going to escort you off the property." A flash of white light and the guard was backed up by a Metagross. "With prejudice," he finished, smiling unsettlingly.

"Ask him if he believes in ghosts... Quickly, I may be able to freak him out." Riley whispers into Serena's ear before flying to above the guard.

The Metagross' eyes tracked Riley's movement, before the Pokémon's X-shaped protrusion on its face glowed brightly, a wave of multicolored energy spreading out and smashing into Riley's Aura projection hard and painfully.. It hit Serena and November as well, knocking the two Trainers to the ground.
