Exploring anew

[Beltran]

As Beltran walked into the cave, he came face to face with a flock of Zubat that flew past his face. If this had happened weeks prior, he would have probably ducked and covered and possibly cowered, keeping the bloodsuckers away from him. He stood and stayed his ground until they passed by deeper into the cave. He walked along, examining the floor, several strange gems and minerals littered the floor, some seemingly gnawed on by a curious Pokemon. Munchlax, beside him was quickly grabbing them and stashing them inside of his thick fur, most likely because he admired their beauty.

"Munchlax, dad once said there was a deeper portion of this cave... I realize now that is where he must have caught the Ghosts down below, where no light shines through." Beltran said, looking around as he walked. Popping a pouch open on his backpack, he took out a rather large, intimidating flashlight out. The same type that Officer Jennies used in the darkness. Finally, after clicking it on, he found a seemingly nature-made crude staircase. With yet another deep breath he said "Munchlax... lets go." Munchlax would follow, seemingly fearless as he hopped down each step behind Beltran as they entered the second floor of Patuxent Cave in search of Pokemon.

[Tutoring Munchlax Gunk Shot]

As Munchlax and Beltran went lower and lower, Munchlax felt something rumbling in the lowest portion of his belly. Tugging on Beltran's shirt sleeve, he gave a tired "Munch... " before his cheeks ballooned up."What's wrong Munchlax?" Beltran said as he took out his Pokedex, maybe it could tell him what was wrong. Flipping it open, he changed it over to the "Attack description" function of the dex and listened. "Munchlax can learn a variety of techniques, Gunk Shot is one of the most powerful elemental techniques it is capable of learning. A Window of opportunity to learn this technique is when Munchlax has an upset stomach."

Flipping it closed as he kept walking alongside Munchlax, Beltran looked down and said "Munchlax, you ate something you shouldn't have... didn't you?" With that Munchlax's hands went behind his back, his cheeks still holding in what he was nearly vomiting up. As they reached the bottom level, Beltran thought it was a perfect place to tutor Munchlax this new technique... no one would care about the nasty poison everywhere, after all it WAS just a bottom level of a cave.

Pulling out a lantern and turning it on via a switch, an eerie glow filled the cavern as he could see everything. And everything was pretty much nothing. "Ok Munchlax. I want you to force that yucky stuff from your belly now. It's ok, it's going to take the form of an attack." Munchlax looked down for a moment and back up forward into the darker part of the cave and opened it's mouth. Suddenly, he pressed on his stomach and let loose a absolute huge amount of poisonous purple sticky fluid, coating the wall and making it sizzle. [P1]

Munchlax looked on as Beltran nodded in approval, that was definitely Gunk shot. Munchlax gave a nod back, verbal communication wasn't needed to confirm he was doing well. Once more, Munchlax allowed his gastric acid to slowly be converted to a more deadly liquid, poison ooze. Clutching his stomach as he did, his cheeks puffed up as the poison made it's way from his stomach to his throat. Lifting his arm up, he hit himself in the stomach, causing the poison within to come racing up his throat and out of his mouth. [P2]


As the poison raced through Munchlax's mouth, it took on the form of a formless, amoeba-like glob that flew into the darkness of the cave beyond. As it flew, wild pokemon cries could he herd, warning of an incoming attack. The poison would continue to fly through the air before coming to a wet sounding smack against a wall as it oozed down the wall, burning the rock itself slightly, letting off vapors and smoke as it did. Making almost anything around the fumes faint feeling. [P3]

One more Munchlax would use this poisonous attack, his stomach gurgling as it rapidly produced the toxin deep within his gullet until finally it was let loose. Munchlax's maw opened widely as his throat muscles forced out the purple gunk past his teeth and into the outside world. Jiggling out of his body, the poison would fly into the darkness again, this time also letting out a wet splattering sound, but also the cry of a Pokemon. Beltran crossed his fingers and chanted Please be a Sneasel, I know they live down here." Repeatedly as the Pokemon exited the darkness, Beltran would wonder if it was a Sneasel like he hoped it would be, only time would tell as his eyes adjusted.
