Bab 15: The Wilds 7
Later that night Magnus was sleeping in a secluded corner of the cave, surprisingly enough the cave was actually pretty warm despite holding so much water, therefore there was no need for a fire to keep warm.
Breaking him out of his rest was a taloned claw that rocked his shoulder. Magnus's eyes blasted open and he prepared for some sort of attack, but thankfully he was just met with Corvisquire silently pointing in another direction.
It was his shift for the nightwatch and before Magnus and the others went to sleep, he made sure to tell whoever was on duty to wake him up if they were being attacked, or if something suspicious was happening.
Feebas took the first watch, then Corvisquire and after that it should've been Magnus. So judging by who woke him up, it was safe to say that it was the middle of the night, or early morning depending on how you look at it.
Following Corvisquire's outstretched wing he saw a bunch of lights moving around about a hundred metres away from them, probably a group of people since none of the Pokemon Wellspring Cave produce light naturally without the use of a move.
His and Corvisquires movement managed to rustle Dratini awake, who was tiredly squinting her eyes at Magnus from her spot next to him. Before she made a sound Magnus shushed her, emphasising that she should stay quiet.
Magnus then shuffled over to Feebas, who was quietly floating on the water with her body tilted so that only one side was visible. Gently rocking her, Feebas's sunken eyes focused on her trainer.
"Feebas, go and wake up Gyarados, make sure he doesn't make any noise and stays under the water. Stay close by, we don't know who these people are yet, and you both need to be ready to attack on a moment's notice." Magnus whispered.
Magnus wasn't sure what these people were up to, or if they were even up to anything in the first place. But his gut is telling him that something is up, it's far too late for a group of trainers to be spelunking anyway, and as far as he knows there's no expeditions or businesses being run in the cave either.
With Corvisquire on his shoulder and Dratini around his arm, Magnus silently approaches the unknown group. Their flashlights randomly shone in their direction, to stay hidden Magnus used the natural environment of the cave to stay hidden, boulders, crevices and walls were all used as cover, where he waited for the light to pass them over.
As he drew closer he began to hear the faint murmurs of the group.
"Why the hell do we have to clean up after those idiots, we weren't even here for the subjugation" One of them aggressively complained as they moved closer to another tunnel that led away from the main area.
"Beats me, I don't question it, you know. Better off just doing what we're asked" another replied.
"Tsk, it's their mess. They should be the ones to clean it up, but no. Instead we're stuck cave diving in the middle of the night. I don't want to be in some shitty cave because of someone else being useless" the first one continued in a gruff voice.
"I hear ya man. The place gives me the creeps, who knows what's lurking around down here" he second softer voice said as he flickered his flashlight around, illuminating the darkness in its path but finding nothing but rocks.
"Put a sock in it already. The two of you haven't shut up the entire time we've been here. All we're here to do is retrieve the items Sage Bronius ordered us to get, and destroy the rest." a third voice sniped, clearly a woman from the sound of things.
"Geez woman, loosen up a bit. We're just getting some things off our chest, letting the stress out, you know. It's hard working for Team Plasma where they make you do stuff like this every other week" One of the men said as they entered the tunnel.
Magnus was shocked once he heard the identity of those grunts, thank arceus he was being cautious about them.
There was so much he learned from that short conversation, a possible base? Team Plasma's return and a subjugation?
As far as Magnus knew Team plasma was supposed to have been a thing of the past, hell Drayden even taught his pupils about them at his school.
Around ten years ago an organisation named Team Plasma was created in the Unova region. They were a kind of social justice group that wanted equality between people and pokemon, they preached about how pokemon were slaves to humans, and that the driving force of that was pokeballs.
They wanted to abolish the creation of pokeballs so that Pokemon couldn't be enslaved by humans any longer. Got a good bit of movement behind the idea too, at least until they were done with all sorts of crimes.
Burglary, arson, embezzlement, murder, you name it and they'd probably done it. Once all of their crimes were exposed all the momentum they had going for them vanished and they were quick to be classed as an 'Evil Organisation' with the likes of Team Rocket in Kanto and Jhoto as well as Team Aqua and Magma in Hoenn.
Unova United and cracked down on them, pushing them into a corner before they went into hiding. Sometime later they found Team Plasma's main safe house in ashes, burned down and destroyed by an unknown source, thought to be a legendary pokemon and in the process killing all of the Team's high ranking members.
At least that's how the story went, clearly someones still running the team. 'Sage Bronius' by the sounds of it.
On top of that they were going on about a subjugation, Magnus would bet money on it being those Dragonite. At least they failed, a Dragonite in the hands of someone malicious is a calamity waiting to happen.
Magnus took a quick glance at Dratini before recalling Gyarados, he wouldn't fit in the tunnel, and there's no water for him to swim through.
He owes it to his newest pokemon to put a stop to these cunts.
