Descent

Some days later

"We can't just wait around for them to make their move. We need to do something!"

The sun had risen over the peak of the mountain range to our west, illuminating the small town. Celestic Town had been quiet ever since we had arrived days ago and it was taking a while to adjust to this new quiet life.

May and I were sat on a bench outside of the town's main house, discussing what our future would hold. I could hear the urgency in her voice but there wasn't much we could do considering the circumstances.

"Yeah but what can we do right now. Anywhere we go outside of this town, we'll be tracked down by all those trainers who want those fake bounties."

A gentle breeze rolled over the town, the long grass swaying in the wind. The trees at the other end of the town blew under the wind, their branches moving with the breeze.

"I guess you're right. But it's a load of shit just doing nothing here. Those idiots could be doing anything and there's nothing we can do." The brunette stood up from the bench, taking a step forward.

May's shadow was cast over where I was sat, the sun glowing over her outline. I didn't say anything to respond to her, knowing how painful it was to sit around doing nothing. I just hoped that something would happen sooner rather than later.

Then in the skies above, a dark outline was cast over the town. May and I looked up to the clouds, seeing a certain orange scaled fire type circling us from above. I stood up from the bench, looking up to see Red and Charizard descending from the skies. The two of them had set out on a scouting excursion, trying to pick up any leads while we were confined to this small town.

"...!"

"Finally! I'll go get the other two, we'll meet you by the entrance." May sped off, turning back to the house behind us as Red descended from the skies.

"So they've finally showed themselves then?"

Red nodded in response, turning briefly to Charizard who left to give us a moment alone. The silent trainer looked up to me, his eyes filled with determination. This was the same trainer I had met three years ago, that same confidence burning in his eyes.

"I had a feeling it'd be Mount Coronet. We should get ready because we don't have any time to waste." Red was in agreement as I spoke up.

Without wasting another second, the two of us made our way out of the west side of town, now stood under the shade of the overhanging cliff face. No more than a minute later, the three girls turned the corner, the five of us now stood outside of the cave entrance.

Everyone was quiet, eyes focused on the targets ahead. There wasn't much I needed to say but there was one thing I had to make clear, "Alright, we go in quick and quiet. The further we get without interruption the better."

With that, Red lead the way, entering the dark cave. We all followed him in, careful not to disturb any of the wild pokemon.

To my surprise, the first two levels of the cave were quiet. There was no sign of Team Galactic or any of the other groups but that only meant they would all be gathered near the top. Around ten minutes into our journey, I noticed that May was looking around, as if she had seen something that had caught her attention.
