Secret of the caves

Secret of the caves

We took a brief break so that Gaia could recover some of her stamina and let her frankly crazy healing ability fix the minor damage she took as she ate some of the rocks nearby for nutrition. I wondered if her healing ability was the norm for pokemon or something specific to her but I had no way to tell until I either got another pokemon or rejoined society. Neither were in my plans for the moment so I chose to ignore it. An hour later she was good as new and we started looking around for treasure or whatever secret this cave system was supposed to hold.-

It became pretty clear that we were getting closer to the source of the water as the moisture on the stone walls and air was increasing as we went deeper. Along the way I found a grade 3 dusk stone and even an unusual claw fossil which was strangely shaped. I remember what regular claw fossils looked like in the games but this one was wider and serrated which the normal version was not. We also got into a couple more fights along the way mostly with Parasect but three times we had to straight up defend ourselves from the Graveler that were quite territorial sometimes.-

It was only three times because Gaia made an example out of those three that told the rest we can and will kill them if they seem like they want to attempt to kill us. It was a cruel but effective method that got the point across without unneeded conflict. I had already accepted that killing was now a part of my life that I would only ever stop when I stopped being a trainer or died. Such was the nature of this world I was in.-

After all of that however Gaia had hit level sixteen and learned rock slide at level fifteen. She had also reached adept in her bite which made the dark type energy in it stronger increasing it's damage. I noticed the cave growing much more humid and the sound of gently moving water reached our ears. Soon we saw light, yes light , show up in the distance and started to eagerly speed up to find out why that was. What we found was honestly one of the most beautiful and terrifying things I have ever seen.-

Obviously that wasn't actually true since it had clearly been here for a very long time but it certainly didn't look like it as it almost seemed to have a sort of vitality to it. My eyes lit up however when I looked at it's base and saw four large dark blue crystals that looked like they had bubbles in them. That's right water stones and after using appraise on them I was left speechless as they were all grade 5. Using appraise on the giant tooth I learned why as well as how this cavern formed to begin with.-

[Item name: Kyogre tooth

Grade: Relic

Description: An ancient tooth once belonging to the sea god Kyogre that was lost in one of it's many fights with the land god Groudon. Due to the way it was lost this tooth still bears a fragment of it's previous owners power over the seas and so weeps water forevermore. The power in this tooth allows any water type power to be mastered at an accelerated pace. Any water taken directly from this tooth will contain dense water type energy and is a massively beneficial supplement for water type pokemon.]-

I was absolutely stunned at the systems appraisal of this tooth , how could I not be? This was the tooth of a literal god! No amount of in game knowledge could prepare me to face such a thing , are you kidding? A fucking TOOTH that was snapped off eons ago still had enough power in it to produce dense water type energy FOREVER. The sheer amount of power that Kyogre itself must have is beyond comprehension and I firmly believe that the games nerfed the unholy hell out of the thing in them as it was nowhere near so big or powerful in the games.
