Noelani kisses a cherish ball releasing a Ursaring. Kaipo winds back her arm releasing a Snorlax. Kanoa sighs and releases a Pichu with a spiky ear.
The Impidimp looks at the group screeching. The Dynamax cloud surges causing my hair to flip in my face. The pink lightning illuminates the cave causing the pink stone to glow pink with a hint of purple.
"Is it not the most breath-taking thing you have seen." Noelani says excitedly," I checked a sample of the rocks, and it is made out of stardust. Every Dynamax den is made out of stardust that helps amplify the Dynamax energy. Well, that is a theory of course we do not actually know what is causing the Dynamax to happen."
Kaipo touches Noelani's shoulder scolding her softly," We are battling right now Noelani we can talk about the cave later. Now Snorlax use Zen Headbutt on Impidimp!"
The half-asleep Snorlax perks up as a purple energy surrounds the pokemon's head. Snorlax then rushes forward, and head butts the Impidimp's foot. Then bounces back when the Impidimp tries to step on Snorlax. Impidimp screeches and a white shield appears around it.
Kanoa, who has been silent until now, points at the shield surrounding the Impidimp," Wow is that Protect or something like it? Pichu use Thunder Shock on Impidimp and try your best to not hit me again."
Pichu looks apologetically at Kanoa then charges itself with lightning. Then pink lightning hits Pichu giving it a boost to its electric attack. It also hits Kanoa who has smoke coming off him. Pichu directs the attack at Impidimp electrifying it. Impidimp stumbles back causing the ground to quake. The group dodges a few stones that fell from the roof.
Kanoa coughs," Pichu that really hurt. Guess I need a shower when we get to camp." Parts of Kanoa's clothes are on fire. Kaipo and Noelani help him put out the fire. Pichu climbs up onKanoa's shoulder nuzzling him in apology.
I finally decide to talk," Well yes, Impidimp is using Protect because its hurt. Attacking it should weaken the shield then eventually break it. Now Echo use Max Flare." I am thankful I was not hit by the lightning.
Kanoa looks at me," Cool thanks for telling me that. I would have never known that it was using protect." he says happily while he pulls out another pokeball.
Echo shots a spiral of orange yellow flames at Impidimp. The storm goes away leaving the cave to shine brightly. Heat sets in. The Impidimp once again cries out in pain then uses Max Darkness on the group. Long whips made out of dark energy land onto of Echo who shields the group. Echo weakens huffing in pain still protecting the group.
Kaipo looks at Echo," Thank you for protecting us, Raboot, I wish I had brought my Dynamx band, but Noelani told me to leave it at camp." Echo nods to Kaipo before going back to being a shield against the falling rocks and whips of darkness.
Noelani laughs nervously as the cave grows darker,"Ursaring use Fury Swipes on Impidimp. Try your best to not hit the Raboot."
Ursaring's claws glow and it rushes forward towards Impidimp. Nimbly dodging stray whips made of Max Darkness. It jumps over a boulder and onto Impidimp's stomach clawing it three times. Impidimp screams flailing its arms. It hits Ursaring causing it to be thrown into the boulder. Impidimp then stomps on the boulder causing Ursaring to faint.
Noelani returns Ursaring then reaches to her belt finding it empty," Well it seems like I left my other pokemon back at camp."
Kaipo rubs her forehead," Noelani it is okay I left the rest of my team at camp to after you told me to. The only one with a full team is Honey. Kanoa should also have his new pokemon with him but I doubt it. Now Snorlax use Hyper Beam on Impidimp. "
Kanoa whines," Mama my new pokemon hates me. He won't listen to anything I say." Kaipo ignores Kanoa causing him to pout.
Snorlax opens its mouth a beam of energy bursts out towards Impidimp. It slams the pokemon against the cave wall. More rocks fall down on us. Echo who is still covering us winces in pain a few times. The shield surrounding Impidimp shatters into pieces. Max Darkness recedes around us the cave lights up again.
Kanoa then whines to Noelani," Mom how could you forget your team again. " He looks at Noelani expecting an answer from her.
Noelani responds," Oh you know me sweetie always forgetting something. It could be the map to the cave system or even leaving my team at base camp. Hey Kaipo, where is base camp again? I seem to have forgotten again."
Kaipo shushes Noelani," Not right now Noelani we are battling. Here is the map to the cave system." Noelani takes the map from Kaipo
Kanoa rolls his eyes," Pichu use Thunder Shock on Impidimp!"
Pichi puffs out its cheeks and sends out a burst of lighting at Impidimp. Impidimp is shocked by the lightning. Then it stands up and uses Assurance on Pichu. Pichu faints and is returned to its pokeball.
"You did well Pichu. We just need to practice a little more." Kanoa sighs and releases another pokemon," Go Sandshrew and use Powder Snow on Impidimp!"
An Alolan Sandshrew appeared and glared at Kanoa. Then it turns around touching its pokeball. It goes back into its pokeball. The pokeball bounces back to Kanoa's hands.
Kanoa's shoulders slump," Sandshrew come on why won't you listen to me." Noelani pats his shoulder in reassurance. " It's okay Kanoa Sandshrew needs to get to know you before you battle together. It will take time for a bond to form."
I look at Echo," Can you move?" Echo moves her head to look at me. Pain courses over her face from the strain of protecting us.
Echo puffs out," Yes, I can move but it will be difficult. I am heavily damaged from that dark whip attack."
"Then use Max Knuckle on Impidimp." Echo straights out her body and moves over to Impidimp. Energy surrounds her fist. Echo punches Impidimp causing it to faint.
I take out a pokeball and using my Dynamax Band enlarge the pokeball. With both hands I throw it. It hits Impidimps foot sucking it into the ball. It shakes three times before it stops the pokeball shrinks.
I then return Echo," Good job Echo you need all the rest you can get. Now we have a new team member."
