Alice trekked down toward the coast. The walk was quite pleasant despite the approaching evening. The track wound between large rocks that she was tempted to climb on, but she knew it was best to keep to the path. The sun was still warm on her skin, and she enjoyed the solitary walk. It had been a long time since she had been completely alone, without even her Pokemon for company.
Eventually she reached a secluded beach. Rolling waves lapped against the sand. It looked idyllic in the evening light. Alice took a deep breath of the fresh sea air. Is this what a normal trainer journey would be like? Having time to stop and relax and enjoy the sights? Alice shook her head. Even now she didn't have time to stop. She had to check out the cave and make it back to her friends. The sand stretched out in a pale yellow crescent before her. She followed it keeping an eye on her Poketech to make sure she was going in the right direction. As she neared a rocky outcrop on the other end of the beach, she could see dark caverns hidden in the stone. Finally she was close enough to see the cave itself. It was bigger than she had imagined, stretching high above her head. The mouth of the cave was filled with seawater up to her ankles. Alice grimaced as she stepped into the slushy sand. She hated the feel of water in her boots. Her Poketech indicated that she was close to the mega stone now. But what could it be? She headed into the cave slowly, giving her eyes time to adjust to the darkness.
As she walked further from the entrance, the first part of the cavern was very dark. As her eyes adjusted, however, Alice could see faint light somewhere ahead. Carefully she sloshed through the water, unfortunately being louder than she had hoped. The splashing of each step echoed through the cavern, drowning out any other sounds. Alice kept one hand locked around Aster's Pokeball, knowing she was in a vulnerable position should anything be lying in wait.
Eventually, the floor beneath her feet became hard, dry rock. She shook off her boots as best she could. The roof of the cavern stretched way above her head, and was impossible to see. A few times, Alice thought she heard something above her, but figured it was probably just the echo of the water from the cave mouth. Once, small rocks or other debris seemed to tumble from the roof of the cavern behind her. Heart pumping fast, she had to steel herself against sending out Jedi to light up the cave. If there were Pokemon around, it would only agitate them. She walked as quickly and quietly as possible, ears and eyes strained against the darkness.
As Alice made her way further into the winding cavern, the darkness seemed less oppressive. Sure enough, as she continued, the darkness seemed to recede slowly, until she rounded a corner and was standing in a dimly lit, wide cavern. Small shafts of light punctured the cave from gaps in the rock above. She looked up toward the roof of the cavern, but it was too far, and too bright to see much in that direction.
It took a few moments for Alice's eyes to adjust to the relative brightness. When she opened them, she saw a pedestal set in the centre of the cavern. On it lay a shiny, round object, glinting dimly in the light. She approached it cautiously. The pedestal was carved from rock, and the glowing stone swam with purple and green light. It was mesmerising. Alice reached out a hand toward it, longing to touch it.
((Not sure where I'm supposed to be finishing this. I'm picturing Aerodactyl stalking her along the roof of the cavern all this time. XD Did you want me to write the encounter etc.? @Rival Max))
