Gaia's Heart
As Klaus rested his feet, A pink Dragonite landed before him. The Pink pokemon had a red scarf on its arm as back behind the pokemon was the volcanic valley. "If your looking to cross Gaia's Heart, I'm willing to ferry you as long as you return your pokemon to their proper places before crossing. If you plan on catching dragon pokemon, You will need to make your own ventures to the floating islands themselves."
Leviathans Training Ground
Finishing the Maze, He walks into a room as the same time Kiba does as well. Both the boys are shot in the neck with a dart as they look over to see a set of pokemon, both Kadabra's with blow darts. "Humans, you have both now been poisoned with an unknown toxin..." the room lights up with a lively garden of plants and herbs. Before them was a mixing table as the boys look back at psychic types administrating the test. "The toxin is slow killing and slow affecting... Though if you do not cure it, you will both die... You may work together or apart... This test chamber is setup for medical knowledge, skills you will need to know to survive... You may use everything at your disposal except for any special talents such as PSI, Aura, abilities beyond the average human... You should attempt to solve this using the bare essentials before you..." Shadoan nodded as he pulled the dart from his neck and looked for Sol Vine though looked back the Kadabra's a little disappointed. "There's no sol vine, looking everything over, they removed all the antidote based herbs and expect us to concoct one..." Shadoan pulls out the survival manual he got ahold of when he first entered Lethia and goes through it on medication and treatments. "Kiba, if you have any idea on how to cure poison, I'm listening."
Avaith and Amber finish the freezing maze as they face their next challenge. The room warms up a little as a ice statue, taking both their forms. The two pokemon melt the doppelgangers, only to have two more take their place, followed by several more forming from the walls, making the next challenge a combat for strength.
Mello and Z enter the next chamber, surviving their previous challenge with a few scars. The next chamber, two Lucarios enter the chamber, looking to fight. "In this room, you must fight, defeat us without using your psychic powers... The greatest weakness of any psychic pokemon is the power themselves, if you can't defend your body, your power is USELESS!!!" The Lucarios kick the ground, causing spire underneath to rise in an attempt strike to hit bother of the girls. "Can you defeat us, and the next challengers following us?" A pair of Hitmonlees and Hitmonchamps stand in line before Lucario's, looking to fight.
Ulla moves into the next chamber with the key in her beak. In the next chamber, a Pidgeot stands before her with a bucket of stones. "Carry this to the other side of the room, you may advance." Looking out over the pit of darkness, a pressure switch lays untouched on the other side of the room. Ulla gulped as she attempted to lift the bucket with her beak.
Jev enters the next room with a grin. A massive boulder with a gutter attached to the top to divert water. Looking around, there are several cups standing high on poles and water dripping from the ceiling. Jev chuckled as he lifted the boulder, panting in pain as he sighed. "
Must...Endure...."
Ki enters the next room as the trapdoor bellow him closes as the lights flicker on. A wall of fire and electrical energy cover the room as a Rhydon falls from the ceiling. "This is a challenge of physical endurance... You cannot fight while you endure any damage I give to you... If you can still stand after 15 minutes, you may pass into the next room... This is to improve your life and physical endurance, I have healing items for when the test is over... When you wish to stop and start over, you must raise a hand or paw and call 'give,' If you fight back or even throw an attack in any shape or form, you fail... When your ready, let me know...."
Training Ground - Finish
Light and Stella come out, panting and breathing, Stella falling to the ground, howling in pain. "
Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow..." Irek chuckled, panting as he sat before them. "How was it?" Irek asked. Light panted as he looked at Irek. "
GIANT GOLEM OF LIGHT!!!.... WALL OF DESTRUCTION!!!.... HAD TO STEAL A KEY FROM AN ENRAGED POKEMON AND...... I MEAN, THE BLOCKS OF LIGHT AND THE RIVER OF POISON FOLLOWED BY-" Irek holds up his paw and chuckles as he looks at Stella. "How about you girl?" Stella Looks up with an angry look "
I had to push a boulder thrice my size.... Swim up a waterfall, Outrun boulders, jump across a dangerous pit of death and spires while dodging darts and fighting a Golem in a sumo match... Which I had to retry 8 different times until he lost footing, causing me to push him out......" Irek laughed as he sighed. "This is basic training you two, getting through it puts you a step closer towards standing a chance against Lethia and the elites." Stella and Light look around and back to Irek. "
Where are the others?" Irek sighed as he looked at the exit. "You both finished early... I finished early since I knew what to expect from this place... The others are dragging their heads along, but it will pay off.... Trust me."
