Behind away, the Snover recovered after the Sand Attack, and looked in dismay. People think he was evil even before allowing him to talk. He just wanted to warn them of the danger that lies in the end.
As for the pals, Costali was critically injured, and he needed healing right away. He pulled his backpack on and took an Oran Berry.
Costali used one Oran Berry!
He recovered, but he was still exhausted and aghasted, but also confused. The Snover... My aura sensor detected no negative aura... Was he really harmless? thought Costali.
'We'll have to camp here for the night.' said Nick, 'The forest is dangerous, and we do not have a fire pokémon for a campfire, so...' 'OBJECTION!' interrupted Lilly, 'I can light a fire. I need a rock and something smooth.'
'I can manipulate water with aura. Gimme a sec...' said Costali... '... ... ... There.' Costali gave Lilly a smooth Chunk of Ice. 'Good. It'll do well.' said Lilly, and used Tackle on a Tree that she placed a rock and the chunk of ice, followed by Costali's Aura Sphere and Nick's Metal Claw. The tree burnt into fire. 'Way to go. No, let's roast..' said Nick, but afterwise interuptted by Lilly saying: 'Belue Berrys. We'll Roast Belue Berrys.' And they ate a little dinner of belue berries, and slept, but Costali couldn't sleep. Thinking of Carrick tired him. Will he lie in that cold cave forever? I need to save him. After writing a note, he departed.
He headed back to Carrick's Cave, but he found nothing. 'Huh?' wondered Costali, 'Could it be?...' Then he began raging up. 'Enough of your tricks, Zurios! Show your self!' Then a wild Luxio appeared. 'Costali, my good old rival.. Where have you been?' The Luxio asked. 'What are you doing here, Zurios?! Aren't you hitting smart contests in the Sinnoh Region?!' asked Costali. 'I joined the Dark Forces. My mission happens to be stopping you from going through Cold Flake Path.' replied Zurios. 'You'll never get away with that. Aura Sphere!' shouted Costali, and he hit Zurios right on his head.
'Oh, look. The little Riolu is trying to save the day.' said Zurios. In enragement, Costali kept throwing Aura Spheres, but Luxio seemed fine. 'Now, allow me! Thunder Fang!' announced Luxio, but was stopped by a voice never missed to Costali.. 'Get your filthy fangs off Costali, Zurios!'
'These words... You are...!' said Costali
And from a nearby grass patch, a Lucario appeared. 'Dad!' said Costali. 'Hello, Cos. Zurios, you are mine! Rock Climb!' said Lucario. He scaled the huge wall and came to Zurios face to face, and launched an Aura Sphere far too powerful than that of the young Costalis, in fear, Zurios escaped like a Bidoof from an Arcues.
'As for some Carricky business... Aura...Rock Smash. Aura Sphere will be an intense blow and will cause another avalanche.' said the Lucario. The rock smash made the cave appear with a frozen Carrick inside. 'Oh my god... Now what..' said Costali...
