It wasn't on his schedule, but he didn't mind a return to the caves. Besides, when he had first arrived at the academy it had been Rae who welcomed him. It had also been Rae that pointed him to the direction where he ended up finding Ryu. So, if Rae wanted to chill it was cool with him. He could also take it as a training session. At he mouth of the cave, Rameses pulled out four rare candies and gave them to Cammy to eat. Hopefully, they would be enouh to significantly increase her strength. As he remembered is journey from last time, she was his best bet in the chamber ahead. That, or he could go with Surtur who was fresh off of a win at the last gym. What Rameses really found to be interesting was that Rae had beaten Jenna before he did.
ooc: Cammy ate 4 rare candies.

The chain-smoker came riding up the last hill on his bike. As he reached the peak and spotted the mouth of the cave, he sighed. Rae had been feeling down ever since his battle against Jack on the rooftop of the Gymnasium. It wasn't the battle, nor the pokemon, but Sabrina, whom he remembered about that night, above all else. The girl's life had been ruined, taken from her unfairly... and it was all Rae's fault.
His eyes noticed the boy ahead. He wore the same orange hat as always and had his little crocodile friend at his side. Rae needed to return to the cave to get his egg from the pack whom had taken him in. He had dropped it off a while back and it must've been ready to hatch by now... He had been moping around feeling depressed ever since the incident, so he decided that getting away from Cherilli might be a good idea. And, since Rameses had been here with him once before, he decided maybe some company wouldn't be the worst thing for him either...
Maybe, just maybe, he'd be able to climb out of this funk that he was in, though he highly doubted it. He needed to realize the danger he was to not only other people, but to his pokemon and himself. He needed to appreciate that fact and he needed to educate himself and grow. Otherwise, he would never become a real pokemon trainer and he would never gain the respect of his Pokemon or his fellow students. Even this young boy he was coming to meet up with, was a better trainer than him...
Skidding to a stop, Rae slowly dismounted the bicycle and lifted his hands away from the grips, letting it fall to the ground with a crash. He stepped toward the kid and his crocodile, his head still lowered and his dark hair hanging over his eyes. Reaching the threshold of the cave, he stopped briefly and spoke.
"Hey kid... you ready?"

Rae was much earlier than expected this time. The trainer was still waiting for the effects of the rare candies to kick in. Cammy looked up at Rameses and then over to Rae. The blue crocodile remembered him from last time. Before Rameses could even speak up, Cammy rushed over to Rae, hugged his leg, and then rushed back over to Rameses. Rameses stood up and laughed at the display of affection.
"Haha, it looks like she likes you."
"Yeah, I'm just about ready to go. Hopefully I can catch a dark type this go around. Maybe even a dragon type. I heard that you can actually find them here. Well, my pokedex said that. Do you ever use yours?"
Rameses asked this knowing well that Rae wasn't an orthodox battler. Most of the times, his pokemon did whatever. I was weird, but it obviously worked for Rae. Rameses had a lot of questions to ask, but he had to hide his intense eagerness. Instead, he only asked one.
"Have you caught any more pokemon lately? I haven't caught anything since our last visit here."

Hearing the boy's voice, Rae suddenly wondered if it was a mistake to have come here. He wasn't at all ready for all of this... intensity and this... energy. Rae felt like his whole world was moving in slow motion, as though a giant dial had been turned down and the volume lowered. Nothing seemed the same. Smells, textures, tastes; it was like picking up cigarettes for the first time...
He breathed in, trying to calm himself. Part of him wanted to lash out at the boy and leave, while another part of him understood that the kid was just, trying to be friendly. The smoker wanted to understand and he wanted to return the youth's kindness, but he just felt, hollowed inside. It seemed like a strain, a chore, just to move, to breathe and to swallow. He had a hard enough time just forcing himself to get on the bike and pedal away from the academy. And now, he was here and having to deal with this... He wasn't ready.
"I..." he started, before simply shaking his head in answer to the kid's question.
Though it was a lie and in fact Rae had obtained several more Pokemon, he didn't have the strength nor the will to speak it. For now, he just wanted to get to the Pack's den and see if his egg had hatched or not. The pierced student hadn't even given the sweet little crocodile the time of day, and she had even come up and hugged his leg upon his arrival. Clearly, something was wrong.
Remembering the drill from the last time he had come here by himself, Rae's hand worked to pull his nearly empty pack of smokes from his pocket and he eventually lit one up. Almost feeling too disgusted with himself to even smoke the cig, he did his best to take a drag and blew the smoke forth, as he stepped into the cave.
The boy had said he was almost ready, so Rae decided that by the time the Pack caught wind of his cigarette smoke and arrived, perhaps the kid and his croc would be all set. If not, Rae would likely move on without him and allow the boy to catch up later...

Something was wrong, but Rameses would not push it. He turned to Cammy and gave her a hug before returning her to her pokeball. Standing up, he began to follow Rae into the cave. Whatever was bothering him, he hoped Rae would eventually overcome it. Feeling more confident this time, he was ready to fight whatever they were going to face. This was especially true since Cammy had just evolved into Crocnaw. Her appearance changed, but she was the same old Cammy beneath the new exterior.
He could smell the cigarette smoke, and though it made him lightheaded he continued forward. He remembered the warning he received last time. Surtur wasn't to return here, but perhaps they would be more accepting if they realized just how strong the Charmander had become.

Once again, the pack came running forth upon being summoned. This time, however, there was another in their midst. The newborn was fat and happy, well fed by his temporary caregivers. He acted rather doggish, as well. The mightyena fawned over the newborn, clearly taking nicely to playing mommy for a while. <Look, it's your alpha! He's been such a good boy!> She licked over the deino, who in turn nipped at her. The houndoom, upon seeing that the second trainer had returned, at once looked for the charmander. After seeing that it was not there, he nodded. <Good to see you both in good health.>The arcanine was about to step forward and ask about the pikachu, but he spotted Rae’s downcast appearance. What had happened? Thinking better of pressing where he might not be appreciated, the arcanine pranced over to the brown haired boy. He hadn’t seen his new form yet. <Notice anything different?>species: houndoom, arcanine, houndour, umbreon, mightyena, *deino* gender: male, male, female, male, female, male level: 30, 35, 18, 20, 25, 1 |

The smoker lifted his head and eyes slightly, away from the ground. The pack had arrived and his eyes traced over each of them, noting that all of them were here. However, as his gaze panned to the right slowly, he counted another among them, that he had not seen before. He watched as the hyena-like creature exchanged pleasantries with the rather young-looking, weird, looking... whatever the h3ll it was... And despite Rae's depression, his lips did manage a slight smile when he saw the hyena licking the other. Though he couldn't completely understand the mother-like beast's words and he couldn't be totally sure; Rae imagined this must be the Pokemon that had hatched from his egg.
Rae's eyes examined the creature, noting its incredibly odd appearance. He had no idea what to make of it, or what to expect, but he knew that he must accept it. Unfortunately, this had all come at a rather inopportune time. With everything that had happened to Rae just recently, he was feeling lower than ever. He wondered if he was even suitable for taking in the newborn Pokemon, if he was even... worthy...
He sighed, before his eyes shifted to the large, dog-like creature with the horns. It had greeted he and the boy and Rae nodded in acknowledgement. The next bit of movement came from the shaggy-haired lion-dog and Rae's lips once again couldn't hold back even the slightest of smiles. Just the sight of the creature brought back all the memories of his last visit to the cave. The manner in which he and his pikapoo had ridden the beast deep into the caves and even back to the pack's den. It all seemed like so long ago now, but Rae did his best to savor the sweet taste of the nostalgia, along with his still-lit cigarette.
"I..." he started, his tongue fumbling sloppily in his mouth. His eyes shifted over each of the Pack's members once more, before he looked to Rameses and then back to his newborn Pokemon. Finally, his eyes moved to the hyena-like creature and he found the courage to speak up. "...I appreciate, everything," he stated simply, before his eyes fell back to the floor.

Was that the Growlithe? He believed it to be so. The grace of the Arcanine was incredible. He smiled and waved to the giant flame hound. It was only after that that he realized Rae had a new pokemon. Rae still look dejected, but perhaps the new pokemon could lift his spirits. He had no idea what the pokemon was, so he took out his pokedex. After a few short moments of scanning the pokemon, he received information about the new species.
"Deino. A drak/dragon hybrid. They cannot see, so they tackle and bite to learn about their surroundings. Their bodies are covered in wounds."
"Wow, is it actually blind? That's crazy."
"Well, all the same, it's a cool pokemon Rae."

The whole pack paused when Rae gave his words of gratitude. They exchanged glances. As social creatures, they knew very well when someone wasn’t feeling well. The mightyena, who had been the most appreciative of Rae’s presence when it came down to it, nudged the blind baby to come with her to greet the solemn teen. Unsure of what was wrong, she merely tried to lick his hand and whined. Was he sick? He didn’t smell sick. The arcanine drew closer to Ramses, as if expecting an explanation. But, all that was brushed aside. The houndoom was all business. With the houndour and the umbreon still at his sides, he turned back to the cave. <What are you two after this time?> he pressed. Actually, he was rather glad they’d shown up. He had a few issues he felt they could possibly resolve. There was that one brute who kept challenging the houndoom for pack standing, plus the silver beast who had tried to eat the egg. Then, there was that herd which they fed the deino with, whom felt the need to try and get revenge on the pack whenever they went hunting now. Of course, there were plenty of ordinary pokemon within the caverns as well. All the same, the houndoom would rather not leave the dens exposed for too long. If he returned and that bipedal brute was back among the nests, the houndoom would have to kill the invader. No ifs, ands, or buts. species: houndoom, arcanine, umbreon, hounour, mightyena gender: male, male, male, female, female level: 30, 35, 20, 18, 25 |

Rae's fingers scratched the mightyena's head in kind, knowing it wasn't she who was to blame for what had happened to Sabrina. In fact, none of these creatures were responsible for it. Only Rae, was left to shoulder the load. He sighed, but finally knelt, coming down to eye level with his new pokemon. He had heard the chime of Rameses' pokedex and the information that it provided. His eyes traced over the bizarre, dinosaur-like creature that stood before him. He couldn't believe how big it was already... hadn't it just hatched only a day prior?!
Skeptical of the creature and how he should greet it properly, Rae decided to reach his hand forth to give it a little rub on the snout. Unfortunately, he hadn't quite paid enough attention to the pokedex, but definitely learned his lesson on this exchange. The deino's chompers closed around Rae's hand. And, though it was only a little love bite, the smoker withdrew his throbbing hand to discover a plethora of teeth marks that had broken the skin. He winced, but then laughed softly under his breath. "Nice to meet you too..."
Deciding he wasn't in any rush to confine the cool, shaggy-haired pokemon to a spherical prison, Rae allowed it to remain free for now, hanging with the cool kids. Only in the event they came upon some real danger, would he try and secure the creature into a pokeball and stash it away for safe keeping. For now, in the presence of the Pack, Rae felt like there was really no where safer in all of the Shupert area.
Standing, Rae's eyes roamed the members of the Pack once again. He mustered up the smallest of smiles, though it was sincere. "Thank you all, again... It... means a lot to me..." he spoke quietly. "There wasn't any trouble, was there?" he inquired, hoping that they hadn't come across any unwanted stress or strife on his account. If so, Rae would definitely do what he could to help them remedy any issues that had arisen.

This marked the second time he heard Houndoom's voice. It did not get any easier to process. Was it some type of neural link? He shook it off when he heard Rae's question. Was there more trouble down in the caves? Surtur had been the trouble last time. It was only resolved after Rameses and Rae prevented his escape and Rameses eventual capture of the shifty Charmander. Of course, Surtur had grown quite a bit since then. Still, he wasn't entirely sure that it would be a good idea to re-introduce the fire type to the pack anytime soon.
"I'm with Rae. The last time we were here the problem was Surtur, ehh...Charmander. How have you all been since then? Is there anything else that we could help you with?"
The question was directed towards he entire pack. The young trainer was willing to help, but he was even more eager to explore further into the caves. The were approximately in the same location that they were in last go round. Of course, his team was weaker then. Rae's pokemon were one of the reasons that thy had a successful trip last time. He wanted to prove that was a better trainer now. The only way he would be capable of doing that was to prove his strength in battle.

The pack followed the houndoom into the caves, though the arcanine’s big butt stayed in the entrance at the questions of trouble. <Actually, there was this one-><Fluff bucket,> the houndoom growled, not even turning around. <Y-Yes, alpha…?> The arcanine outleveled the houndoom, but there was a cutthroat, brutal quality to the dark/fire type that even he didn’t feel like testing. <Tell the outsiders the situation with the lucario, and I’ll rip your throat out.> On that note, he continued walking. The umbreon followed easily, while the mightyena began chiding the alpha. The houndour bounced back, comforting the arcanine. He looked on the verge of peeing himself in terror. Sighing, she readied to explain herself to the humans. <Nothing out of the ordinary’s happened. We pissed some other pokemon off, but that’s normal.> She shrugged as well as a houndour could. <... I guess you’re here for more teammates. We spotted some beldums, sableyes, nidorans the other day. I think this typhlosion just had her litter of cyndaquils, too.> Thinking about it, she motioned to the deino. <Oh yeah, if we say to duck, do it. He apparently looks tasty to this one old broad.>Casting a look over Ramses before the arcanine and the houndour ran to catch up with the rest of the pack, the houndour’s ears flopped over. Yeah… she was still embarrassed about what happened. Knowing that the charmander’s owner was here only made her feel even dumber. <Sorry,> she called out as she turned tail. Options: inquire about the beldums, sableyes, and nidorans; ask to meet the typhlosion and her offspring; ask about the lucario; or, search randomly.

Rae itched his buttcheek in wonder. He really wished he spoke Pokemon, like this Rameses kid did. He wondered if perhaps there was a class for it at Cherilli? He sighed, before looking at the Pack, who was already making their way back into the cave. He would need to figure out what was going on quickly, before they disappeared completely. Thankfully for Rae, he had something of a translator there with him, in the form of his new, baby Pokemon.
The smoker pulled a final drag at his cigarette, before spitting into his palm and killing the cherry. He pocketed the butt and looked down, to discover the little dinosaur thing was biting at his pant leg. He lifted a single brow, curious. The creature seemed to be trying to communicate with him, in some shape or form. Perhaps it was the only way it knew how. Rae though it was kinda cute, up until the beast suddenly reared back and headbutted Rae in the gonads. "OOOOOOOOOOOOOumuddahfffffffkkkkrrrrrr" he whined.
After a few moments of agony, Rae finally gathered himself as best he could. He decided that he would follow the little dinosaur wherever it was trying to lead him. When he finally started walking, his eyes fell upon the fluffy, familiar tail of the tiger-dog and he smiled slightly. He recalled the time he had ridden atop its back and he longed to do so again.
"Hey uh... you there," he began, unsure of what to even call the tiger-beast-dog-creature. "...It looks like the little one here wants to head, uhh... that'a way?" Rae shrugged, before titling his head toward a particular path. He wasn't sure what awaited them there, or if he'd have the luxury of the cool mount to carry him there again, but he was sure hoping so... Regardless, Rae was starting to loosen up a little bit and that more than anything, felt good.
ooc: Rae don't speaka dah lingo, but his deino is tugging him in the direction of the beldums, sableyes and nidorans. The plan is to split the pack up and have half go with Rae, while the other half goes with Rameses to do his thing.
