We had arrived at the top of a rocky hill with stairs. There was a tent in the shape of a Wigglytuff. In front of the tent was a grate in a circle on the floor.
“Oh- Um… You don’t think I’m going to fall through, do you?” The Piplup asked me
I stared at the grate for a few moments. “No.” I said. “The holes look too small for even your foot to fall through.
He let out a quiet sigh of relief. “Good.” He nervously walked up to the grate and stood on it. We both jumped at the loud voice that came from it
“Pokemon detected! Pokemon detected! Pokemon is: Piplup!
Waterking yelped and jumped off of the grate. He stood a few feet away from it as he spoke. “I- I can’t do it.” He placed a strange stone on the ground and looked up at me. “I found this stone one day while I was taking a walk by myself. I saw it and thought ‘Huh, that’s strange.’ I took it with me because I thought it would bring me good luck.” He looked back down at it. “It’s been helping me get through things in the past. I was sure it was going to help me get enough confidence to get into the guild!
I was about to say something to him but I didn’t have a chance because two Pokemon jumped out from behind the tent. Or- Floated? Flew? I don’t really know. It was a Koffing and a Zubat. Zubat flew over to Waterking. “We’ll be taking that.” He swiftly grabbed Waterking’s stone and started racing down the stairs with Koffing right behind him
“No!” Waterking shouted. He looked back at me. “They’re going down to the beach! Will you help me catch them? Please?” He said, pleading
I nodded. “Yes, I’ll help. But we need to go quickly!” I only got a nod in response as we raced down to the beach

Zubat and Koffing stopped at the far end of Krabby Beach. “Where now?” Zubat aske
“There!” Koffing said, turning towards a deep cave. “Let’s go!” The two thief Pokemon raced into the cave
*
By the time we arrived at the beach I was panting and huffing. “There!” Waterking pointed his flipper towards a cave. “That’s a dungeon! They hold many dangerous and wild Pokemon that will attack if they see you.” I squinted as I peered into the cav
“There’s a puff of smoke in the entrance. I think they went in here, I don’t see where else they would go.
“But- But- But that’s Beach Cave!
I looked over my shoulder at him. “Don’t you want your stone?” I asked
He looked conflicted. “Ok fine! Let’s go in and catch those thieves!
I have to rename the story because I found out it's based on Explorers Of Time not Explorers Of Sky
