"Jenny said to AVOID detection." Cardin grumbles. "Otherwise I'd be going down there. We'll investigate from the outside. Besides, our job is done, there's something in here." The interior group runs back out of the plating. You squint as your eyes readjust to the daylight. As Talen yells out, the other team comes sprinting into view as well. Kyosuke is the only one not out of breath, and he quickly asks for a summary.

"We heard some tapping the pipes and then all that noise." Cardin replies as he runs for his bike. "Someone may be trapped down there but the six of us can't fight whatever is making that noise by ourselves." He looks back at the plant. "Dammit," he growls, "Why can't anything go right?"

Kyosuke puts his hand down on Talen's shoulder, and squeezes gently. "We'll get to them, son...but not today. Celadon's already lost too many good people. We'll come back, and soon, and we'll be better prepared for whatever's down there. And if someone really is trapped down there, I'm sure they'd understand."

"Besides, we heard it through a pipe that went straight into the ground." Cardin inputs. "There's no telling where in plant they were." With those final thoughts, you all scramble onto your bikes and hustle out of there, the sounds from the plant only intensifying as you leave.

The team's ride back to base is as equally uneventful as their ride to the plant. Today, it seems, the Pokémon have other things on their mind, than a small group of humans passing through. Perhaps it's the smell that's driving them off? While none of you noticed it earlier, the slime that was coating everything seems to have soaked into your footwear, and the stink from them is horrendous. Still, it's a small price to pay for the information you'll be bringing back. You might not have seen the attackers, but you have a better idea of what happened here, and Sven's slime sample should identify what they were without any problems. Your only regret is having to leave whoever may have been down there behind. While there's little doubt that you made the right decision, a group of six would never be able to engage a potential whole army on its own. But that doesn't mean that you don't each agonize over your decision, and wonder if there might just have been something more you could have done.
