Open Dreams of the Past

((Charcoal, my Charizard character, wont know the diggers until he meets them, okay?))

Charcoal awoke in his cave in Union Cave. He yawned, and small flames shot out of his mouth. He stood up and yawned again.

Another day of life... How amusing... He walked out of his part of the cave and looked around with his right eye. There were several Pokémon there, like Zubat and Geodudes disguised as rocks. He shot an Ember at one of the stone Geodudes, and it levitated away, scared.

"Graaaa!!" He roared to frighten off Pokémon in his territory, then he used a Flamethrower to heat up some of the rocks, just to make the temperature higher.

Then, a piercing screech. "Grr..." He covered his ears until the sound stopped. "Chaaaar!" He roared in anger at the screech.
 
Halan laid on the ground, dreaming about home and his parents...dreaming about hid trainer that he hsd to leave. He shifts in his sleep, a slight whimper escaping him.

I want to go home...I want my real trainer...and I want to escape this damned box!

SCRRREEEEEEEEECH

Halan sits bolt right up, his eyes blinking the dirt away. He looks around at the room around him, seeing that others have also stirred. He slowly lifts himself off his back and stands, streching out his legs. His ear then twitches.

scrape scrape scrape

Digging, the sound of digging from above. His heart skips a beat first out of relief, then skips again out of pain.

It's not going to be her...I just know it. Why...why did they have to take me here

He turns to the other pokemon and sighs.

"Seems....we will be...free"
 
Fyrix coughed again, her throat aching.
"I hope.. so. M-Maybe they're letting us free? For good?"
She felt stupid. Of course not. Maybe they would be prizes for trainers after all.
"I really don't care, a-as long as we can get out.. How long have we been here?"
 
Skaldia was pleased; some of the others were awake! The Aerodactyl stared at the prisms as she spoke, voice raspy from disuse. "It must be the Champion. Lance told me he would come!" She ignored the question of how long they had been sleeping. It didn't matter. She could finally serve her true purpose! Another sound, apart from the slow scraping, caught her attention. Flapping her wings, the Rock-type growled at the roar from what sounded like nearby. A challenge? How dare it roar back at her! So she screeched once more, letting her newfound confidence in her triumphant return to the outside world filter into the prolonged sound. The other sleepers didn't sound thrilled about finally fulfilling their destinies, but what did that matter? They'd be won over eventually. She just wanted to battle, to finally take a vital part in this Champion's team.
 
Sinar heard a low growl from within. He tried broadcasting a message to the Pokemon he was sure were inside, Awaken. Soon you shall taste freedom. He then started methodically digging in. He told the Leafeon, "Dig here. Gently, for we shouldn't harm the ones inside."
 
Charcoal heard another screech. "Graaaa!" He roared again, and started digging where the sharp noise came from. Someone in my territory! He moved boulders with his enormous power and dag the sand and stone away.

Scratch scratch scratch.

He had reached a big stone. Too big for him to remove, but... but maybe melting it would work!

He started to blow intense flames at the big rock, and slow, but steadily, it started to melt.

He paused, then blew fire, he paused, then blew fire, pause, fire, pause, fire...
 
Sinar dug a bit more, but then sensed heat from somewhere. Immense heat. It spun over, generating light, to where it spotted a Charizard heating up a boulder. Sinar then figured that beyond that boulder could be the sleeping Pokemon. It sent a thought at the Charizard, What are you doing?
 
(Hmm, I'm wondering immensely how the Remnants should start... Ah well, I'll make something up.)

Several pairs of feet worked their way through the dirt.

Her steely gaze scrutinized the area carefully, with the sharpness of a dagger.

She had read... she had read that there were supposed to be some idiots around here trying to dig up the cave were all that Pokémon training nonsense was buried. Almost obsessively, she had kept up with the newspapers.

And she recalled the article over in her mind... a dig team! Pfft! Idiots... didn't they know what laid under there? Well, if they didn't, she certainly wouldn't tell them. It would probably only whet their savage appetite for the mysterious, for the unknown. Explorers, bah, she never understood the concept of curiosity.

The woman stopped at the entrance, looking at the others and making a hand gesture. They nodded in understanding and entered the cave.

It was a dark, dank unpleasant place, and some of the people with her seemed to be whining about this. Weaklings. She had had to live in worse conditions than this. "Be qu-"

SCCCCREEEECH!

The group shivered in unison, a few of them shrieked. Mourmedy also was quite startled by the sound, but quickly regained her icy manner.

"It looks like the idiots have finally done it..." Though it was whispered, fury seemed to be leaking out of every crevice of that sentence.

She cursed mentally.

Mourmedy tucked something that glimmered under the dim light of their flashlights deep into her pocket.

Oh, she hoped they would cooperate with her...

Tiny heard the cries. Finally! He was breaking through. Of course everyone else was as well but still... He snapped back to reality and started attacking the rock in a renewed frenzy.
 
Skaldia flinched back as she felt heat starting to seep in from the walls. With another careful look at the prisms, she shuffled as far away from the walls as she could. "Haven't they seen the door?" she snapped, glowering at the room. "They don't need to melt the whole chamber!" Still, the scraping sound continued and the Aerodactyl was set on edge. "Can't they go faste-" A sudden tendril of thought, definitely not hers, seemed to speak to her. Awaken. Soon you shall taste freedom. For once, she was struck silent, but not for long.

"Graaaugh! Who's skulking around my head?!" she shrieked, wings beating and tail whipping around with no consideration given to the Pokemon around her. It was a wonder the others' ears haven't started bleeding from her continued loud noises.
 
Jin's eyes lit up, glowing bright red.

<What's this...?> He broadcast, not caring who heard it.

He shifted his steel arms, activating his levitating abilities. He hovered a few inches above the ground, sending psychic pulses around to examine his surroundings. The cave, the others... But not all was right. He could feel something ominous hovering above, something was going to be put into motion, and they were the catalyst.

<What's going on.>
 
"Who's in my mind?" Charcoal stopped blowing flames and roared. "Who's there? Who?" He looked around at the cave, but didn't think of looking up.

"You!" He roared when he finally noticed the Solrock. "You're the one who screeched, you're the one who broke into my territory! MY TERRITORY!" He blasted a ball of fire towards the Solrock.
 
Zrantox waited patiantly for the human to come in.

The moment he opens these chambers... I'll make sure he regrets it.

True, he'd made other similar attmepts to break free before, but they'd ended badly, usually for him.

Though none of these attempts had involved attacking the human. He'd had self control before.

But this was different. The Dusknoir could hear something outside the chamber. Something in his gut... or whatever a Dusknoir has for that purpose, told him that something had changed.

No matter. I'll amke sure that when the human comes in.. I'll wlecome him in my own special way.
 
As air began to circulate around the long-forgotten chambers, and the temperature rose to become moderately warm, a Flygon began to stir. Kali's claws scraped along the chamber floor as she formed a fist. Her vision slowly began to come into focus. "Ugh... why... Drake... no..." She looked around groggily. "Huh? Where did he go?" Kali didn't seem to realize immediately that she had been asleep for centuries, that her former trainer was long dead. She slowly pulled herself to her feet, stretching her long-inactive muscles. "Noises... who... what's there..."
 
Wisp stared at the Solrock for a while.

What's that floating rock to tell me what to do? I'll dig where I want to dig!

Wisp was about to hop onto a particularly tall boulder when she felt heat emanating from another one, off to her right. She leaped onto that boulder and, ignoring the heat, attacked it. Her sunny-yellow tail glowed a bright white and hardened significantly before she smashed it into the heated rock, shattering the boulder to pieces.

Be careful? Hah! I'll do as I please!

Using the momentum from her powerful blow, Wisp hopped backwards and onto solid ground. She watched as a part of the cave floor, along with her shattered boulder, crumbled away.
 
Sinar's rocky body easily withstood the intense flames. It sent another thought, I estimate that I have lived here for around 1,600 solar years. Please do not impose., but then it received thoughts, and another set of loud noises from within. Sinar responded, The walls are being dug out., and then it spotted something under the dirt. Sinar brushed more dirt aside and spotted a metallic surface. More brushing revealed a seam. It parted the seam telekinetically.
 
Noise seemed to erupt from deeper parts of the cave. Hisses, growls, conversations, and sounds of digging. Esther tried to eavesdrop on some of the conversation, but the scramble of sounds made this task much harder than it should have been. She couldn't reconize any of the voices.
"There's people moving in on my land?!" she muttered, surprised. That was enough to make her dredge on through the cave, towards the mass of sounds. Competition for food was the last thing she needed, and, who knows, there might be a weak or small critter there who would satisfy her for the day.
 
Qua looked up. "It seems we have visitors," he said calmly, and smiled in an amused way. "May it be... the Champion? But wouldn't they come through the door?" He turned his head, and then looked up again. The Tyranitar sat down.

((Last night I dreamed I had morphed into a Pupitar, but it turned out to be a zippered costume =\ ))
 
((^LOL))
Ancea thrashed violently, attempting to break the walls of the chamber. "Get me out of this thing!" She roared angrily.
 
Fyrix shook her head, impatient. Inhaling deeply, the Salamence used a huge Fire Blast on the wall to melt it.
I want to get out. Now!!
