Hypotenuse Man
After climbing through the hidden entrance, you find yourself in a pitch-black corridor; it's impossible to see what lies in any direction. Perhaps this area was lit before the ship was destroyed, but in any event, you can't see a thing now.
It's not as if you have time to mull this over, though... the floor gives way beneath your feet, and you're sent crashing to an even lower level. Your arm smacks a pair of Drifblim before you land flat on your back. Out of breath and with slightly blurred vision, you can just barely make out the forms of two Spiritomb - are they worried about you or upset about the intrusion? - and the frantic cries of Vivian from the floor above.

The little Pichu has no chance to counter your Smokescreen, so it merely coughs a bit at the haze which envelops it. Although you didn't see the attack hit, it's probably safe to assume that the wave of flames did some serious damage.
The battlefield is now covered in a plume of smoke that obscures your view of Pichu and vice-versa. You also notice some scattered red-hot embers dancing along the grass.

"Actually, they're my siblings," Mr Glitch says in response to your question. "I got lost awhile ago, and I've been trying to find them since then."
You nod briefly before moving toward the Snover and asking it about the Cacnea. Its eyes flicker toward you before it grimaces and goes back to relaxing - though not quite as serenely as before. The Cacnea is still viciously punching its own tree, occasionally spraying some needles at the trunk as well.

Sure thing! To start, you'll need to pick a type of special balls to take with you in addition to the standard one. (You'll get five of whatever ball you pick in addition to three Pokeballs, a Great Ball, and an Ultra Ball.) If you don't have a Pokemon to take with you into the Crystal Caves, you'll also get a Master Ball.
After that, you can pick the area you want to enter. There are nine areas you can explore to start your journey in the Crystal Caves. Like the types of special balls, this information is listed in the first post of the thread.
Just let us know when you've made those two choices. Happy hunting!
