The walk through the caverns had been quiet. Hot-- the temperature steadily increased the deeper they went, a sign Steven managed to remember the correct path-- but quiet. Nothing but the sound of footsteps and the heavy breathing of both Aggron and Charizard, until.... The group froze as the...

"Heatran?" Aggron tapped a claw against his chin in thought. "I don't know that one. And it's big and made of magma and metal? Kind of surprising I don't, actually. Seems like we might get along." Aggron's gaze fell on Steven for a moment as Charizard explained his reasoning for wanting to find...

Aggron blinked in surprise as the flickering light came into view and revealed itself to be Blue's Charizard. "Oh! Yes, it is me, and you, too." He relaxed his stance and thumped his tail on the ground amicably. "Sorry about that. I didn't expect to see someone down here we knew. It's good to...

Steven had awoken that morning to Officer Victor rapping on the door to Wallace's room, rousing him for the morning's roll call. He sat up in his chair with a groan, his back protesting his choice of bed for the night. Slowly, he dragged himself to the door, Aggron in his wake. With one long...

Aggron liked talking with Mightyena, even if they didn't get to talk much, what with her constantly sniffing for clues as they walked. He rumbled a laugh at her last comment, though. "I like to think I picked him well. He's very nice. He made me stronger, too. More confident. Not much more to...

Aggron was totally unperturbed by the way Hazel clambered aboard. He waited until she was settled atop his head before standing all the way upright. "How's the view?" he asked. "See anything good?" He always had wondered what it was like to see things from someone else's shoulders. But...

Steven blinked. Did... Did he just get "sir'd" and "mister'd" in about thirty seconds? He wasn't that old. "Please, just 'Steven' is fine," he insisted. Though, he supposed, this was the only occurrence he had to deal with thus far on this trip; which was nice. "That is a rather handy...

Steven quirked a brow at Violet's interesting speech pattern. 'Ne'er-do-wells'? He knew he could be a bit too formal at times but he was pretty sure no one had uttered that term in the last twenty years. Then again, they were dealing with trainers brought here from different universes. How...

"Ah, that's a shame," said Steven. "I was really hoping to run into him here." He kept his growing worries to himself, though. No need to alarm anyone else. It was a little easier to bury his unease, too, because he was sure--somewhere-- some version of Wallace was screaming about that ascot...

"Hayes! Hayes? Hello?" Only the echo of Steven's voice replied as he called after the young man he was supposed to be meeting in the caverns today. He had already screwed up their arrangement by oversleeping, and only once Aggron shoved a plate of breakfast in front of him and glared at him...

Aggron watched the Nosepass's feisty display with amusement. He was beginning to like the little nugget. Steven was a little surprised at Hayes's insistence. "I suppose tomorrow would work," he said. The mystery of Reena's disappearance still weighed heavily on his mind, but what more could...

"Yes!" Steven clapped his hands together, sending an echo through the quiet cavern. "That's it, Hayes! And you don't call yourself a battler." He hadn't expected Hayes to know the ins and outs of the move. Hell, he only knew himself because Roxanne had drilled them into his head with all their...

Guilt gnawed at Steven as he watched Hayes become more and more withdrawn. He had wanted to still go on their planned hike in order to take their minds off it, and yet he ended up distressing Hayes (and himself) even further. If Metagross was here, they'd be able to sense the self loathing...

Steven mentally kicked himself at the young man's reaction. He had hoped Hayes might know something, but he hadn't wanted to upset him. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have--" he began to say, but when Hayes continued, Steven froze in his tracks. "..." Aggron gave a startled snort as he almost...

It was Steven's turn to laugh at Hayes's story. "Sounds like Aggron and Nosepass were cut from the same ore." Aggron rolled his eyes. What was it with humans and getting in trouble? He fixed his gaze on the showy Nosepass. It was good to know he wasn't all talk. Aggron could respect any...

Steven enjoyed the silence of their walk. Nosepass wasn't the most fleet of foot, and that left plenty of time for casual observation of the tunnel's composition. Definitely unlike Hoenn, Steven saw the same high concentration of metal in the rock as he and Aggron saw up on the mountain's...

"Fantastic," said Steven smiling at Hayes's confirmation. The poor trainer did seem a nervous wreck, though, and Steven couldn't blame him. Especially if he and Nosepass weren't high level battlers like he said. His Nosepass didn't seem as bothered by this fact, but the little fellow was the...

When the secret meeting behind the security office broke down into five different sidebars and wild speculation, Steven had heard enough. "C'mon, Aggron. Let's go," he said listlessly. Aggron followed, but rumbled a question. "No I... I don't know where we're going," Steven admitted. "After...
