Pokemon Y - Ambrette Town and the Glittering Cave

I gathered supplies at the Pokemon Center before I left there to explore the town. When I left the Pokemon Center, I ran into a guy who gave me TM94 (Rock Smash) before I visited the Aquarium located right next to the Pokemon Center. There wasn't too much to see, but I did get an Old Rod from someone on the bottom floor before I left.

I explored the town, and found Hotel Ambrette, where I received TM96 (Nature Power) from someone in the lobby before I headed up the stairs. I met someone in the first room, and he appeared to be a tourist in the Kalos region. I looked in the other two rooms, and met up with Mr. Bonding once more, who gave me the O-Power Sp. Def Power Lv. 1. With little else to do, I left the hotel to reach the Fossil Lab.

When I got to the Fossil Lab, I saw a main room with shelves lined with ancient fossils. I saw a nearby shelf that also had meteorites in a row. Serena met up with me, and we both went to talk to the scientists there. The head scientist welcomed us there, and assumed that we were drawn by a fascination about Fossils. We introduced ourselves, and Serena told him that we were researching Mega Evolution, and asked him if he knew anything about it. The scientist realized we were Professor Sycamore's students, and told us all he knew was that it had something to do with mysterious stones.

The scientist asked if we knew about Pokemon Fossils, and I told him I did. He was pleased at that, and went on to say that Fossils are the legacy of prehistoric Pokemon. He suggested we go to the dig site and see the real thing firsthand. Serena was disappointed, but before we could do anything another scientist told us that Pokemon that can be restored from fossils just might have something to do with Mega Evolution. She suggested that we see the assistant in Glittering Cave.

I decided to go find the Glittering Cave, and along the way I got a Rocky Helmet before I found myself on Route 9. I found a Rhyhorn laying near some rocky terrain, and I hopped on it to ride it through the rocky path. I accidentally stepped on a wild Sandile, but managed to get away, then I continued on to smash through a couple large boulders.

I kept on, hopping off the Rhyhorn halfway through to grab an X Defense, and a Paralyze Heal, then near the end I found a Dusk Ball. I decided to roam through the rocky terrain to see if I could find any new Pokemon, and soon I found a Helioptile which went down with a single Take Down from Brody. I was disappointed, and I kept at it to find another one, and through a few battles with Wild Pokemon Brody grew to Level 21.

I got into something called a Sky Battle with a Trainer, and I sent Gabriel out against his Ledian. His Ledian was no match for Gabriel's Fire/Flying-Type defense, and it went down after a short battle. Gabriel grew to Level 23, and after the battle I hopped back on the Rhyhorn to look for Heloptile again. Eventually I found another Helioptile (Electric/Normal, Male, Lv. 15) and after a short battle I finally caught it.

I finally went over to the Glittering Cave after I snagged a nearby Fire Stone, then I got my team healed by a woman nearby before I went inside. The Glittering Cave was made up of winding tunnels, and I passed by many glowing crystals embedded in the rocky walls. I found a Hard Stone on my way through the cave, and got into several battles with Wild Pokemon.

Through the battles Cadence grew to Level 22, and eventually I found my way through the tunnels to meet with some guy in a red suit. He told me that he was part of the fashionable team called Team Flare, and he told me that Team Flare's goal is to make it so that they're the only ones who are happy. He told me they don't care one bit what happens to other Trainers or Pokemon, and I was happy to wipe the floor with this pathetic Grunt.

I sent Brody out against his Houndour, and one Mud Shot did massive damage before Cadence was pulled out from Roar, but she hit it with Razor Leaf after that to knock it out. I sent Axel out against his Zubat next, and a single Thunder Shock knocked it out. With that, the Flare Grunt was defeated.

The feeble Grunt admired my strength, but told me to watch myself, that he wasn't the only member of Team Flare. I continued on and soon got into a battle with another Flare Grunt, and she went down easily enough. Through the battle Axel grew to Level 22, and Jack grew to Level 23 and learned Round in place of Pound.

I continued along the path, and I found a pair of Flare Grunts. They revealed that they were looking for fossils, and Serena came up along the path and we teamed up to battle them. The Grunts send out Scraggy and Croagunk, and I sent out Brody while Serena sent out Espurr. Brody used Mud Shot for massive damage against Croagunk, which knocked it out, and he grew to Level 22, and Logan grew to Level 23, then Espurr used Light Screen before Scraggy hit Brody with Brick Break for massive damage.

I switched out to Axel, and Espurr used Covet for minor damage before Axel got hit by Brick Break for massive damage. Axel hit Scraggy with Thunder Wave to paralyze it, and Espurr used Covet again for minor damage, before it hit Espurr with a powerful attack that knocked it out. Absol was sent out next, and Axel used Thunder Shock for good damage, then Absol attacked with Pursuit for minor damage before it hit Axel with Brick Break to knock him out.

I had enough of this, adn I sent Gabriel out against it. Absol used Quick Attack for good damage, then Gabriel finished it off with Peck to win the battle. Gabriel grew to Level 24, and after the battle the Grunts lamented their defeat. One complained about his suit being dirty, and the other said that they could make good money by restoring Fossils.

I went past them, and snagged an Escape Rope before I reached the scientist looking at some fossils. Serena asked the scientist if he was okay, asking him if he had seen Team Flare, but he didn't know who they were. Serena told him not to worry about it, commenting to me that he must have been completely absorbed in looking for Fossils.

The scientist told us that he just found two fossils, and he had both, so he asked which one I wanted. I decided on the Jaw Fossil, and Serena took the Sail Fossil. He told us he would restore our Fossils back at the Fossil Lab, and he left. Serena thought that she should go ahead and train more so she could travel safely with those Team Flare people running around. She thought the best thing to do would be to challenge the Cyllage City Gym, and I had to agree.

I left with an Escape Rope, got my team healed by a woman near the cave, and then I went back to Ambrette Town atop the Rhyhorn again. I went to the Fossil Lab and got the Jaw Fossil turned into a Tyrunt (Rock/Dragon, Male, Lv. 20). I decided to call it a day, vowing to reach the Cyllage City Gym and take on the next challenge soon.
