It was time to get moving. The team agreed to walk the rescued Pokemon to the Pokemon Center themselves. It would be a nice break from the stresses of the day. Alice released Paprika to enjoy the walk. She knew the Pikachu would be glad to see Aster again!

Sure enough, Paprika ran straight to the Ivysaur. The two greeted each other happily, then Aster introduced Paprika to the Shiny Bulbasaur. "Bul?" it said shyly. Paprika ran up and nuzzled the Bulbasaur, pleased to meet any friend of Aster's, and the young Bulbasaur soon seemed to warm to the Pikachu. It laughed happily.

Plume followed sullenly behind Alice until Aria swooped down from the sky.

"Pidgeooo?" it cooed happily, shaking out its wings as Plume watched sort of jealously.

"Hey Aria, why don't you take Plume for a ride?" Alice said, noticing the interaction between the two. "You should get used to carrying something, and I'm sure Plume wouldn't mind helping us out," Alice knew she had to be careful not to damage the Archen's pride. Being unable to fly was a sore point for the bird. "While you're up there, keep an eye out for anything gold among the trees." Alice hadn't forgotten the stash of special crates that the Surge's grunt had mentioned. She hoped they weren't too late.

"Ack!" Plume squawked rather huffily, but Alice could tell she was excited. She scrambled onto the Pidgeot's back and clung on tight. "Aaaaack!" her squawk could be heard trailing off as the Pidgeot took to the sky. Aria had become very fast since her evolution.

All the Pokemon were ready to go, but the Tirtouga looked like it needed some help. Alice kneeled down next to it for a moment. "Will you let me carry you?" she asked. "We'll get you safely to the Pokemon Center."

"Tiiiir," The Tirtouga didn't look pleased about it but it let Alice lift it up. Plume jumped off her shoulder, not wanting to get too close to the turtle. It was quite heavy.

"Do you need help? Is that pokemon like a million years old?" Ty asked.

Alice grinned. "Thanks Ty, but that's okay," she said, hefting the Pokemon up. "I think this one is still pretty young. I don't know how to tell if Pokemon were revived from fossils or bred yet," Alice said, studying the Tirtouga. "But yes, these Pokemon would have been alive a hundred million years ago! The oceans would have been full of them. Same with Plume," Alice explained. "I'd love to know what happened to them all. But at least we have their fossils now so we can bring them back."

As the group walked, Alice kept an eye out for anything gold in the trees.

" Everyone we should find Surges treasure before leaving the area." Alice said, reminding the group. She had thought the treasure would be their stolen Pokemon, but that was obviously not the case. What else could it be?

The group sent out their flying types to scout and split up. After challenging Paul and Ty to find it first, Alice finally spotted the golden band that connected three trees, but she couldn't see anything obvious around it.

"Hey guys! Over here!" she yelled out, calling the group back in.

Aria circled overhead with Plume still on her back. "Pidgeooo!" she cawed, marking the spit for the other flying types.

"Ack!" Alice could hear the tiny squawk of Plume from above, not wanting to be left out.

Alice placed the Tirtouga down with Aster and the others while she kept searching.

It was the Beldum who found the spot. Rose uncovered a hidden doorway. Once the leaves and branches were out of the way, Alice found herself in a strange bunker. It looked to be state of the art.

A bunch of Pokemon eggs were sitting in a strange machine. Alice looked at them closely.

" Was this it?" Meghan said looking at the eggs. " I dont really like this but we cant just leave these things here...what if they are some kind of weapon?" Meghan said unsure of why they would be down here. " Or worse what if they were being breed for money.."

"But what are they?" Rocky asked coming in to get a closer look. "They appear to be Pokemon eggs. This could simply be a fancy incubator."

Alice had made up her mind as soon as she saw the eggs. "They're definitely some kind of eggs. Those poor Pokemon. Even if they're dangerous, we can't leave them here to be used by Surge," she said. "He can't want them for anything good. I think we should take them all and get them checked at the Pokemon Center," she looked around the room. "I hope they're okay. It doesn't look like anyone's here taking care of them."
