    We begin this adventure with you being teleported to the foot of the Shinsuke Volcano, alone on its island apart from a large beach that stretches quite far in both directions and behind you is the sea, glittering blue, with the slight hint of land in the far distance. Looking up, you see plumes of smoke rise from the crater, as well as the occasional silhouette of a bird Pokemon. At the moment, you don't see an entrance into the volcano, but you do see the strange pagoda nearby, a large tiered tower, similar to ones you've seen on your travels in Johto.
    WHAT NEXT?

    Explore the beach and the pagoda, in search of Pokemon.
    Find an entrance to the volcano.
    Have a look at the sea and see if you can find other Pokemon, see?
    Wander in whatever direction the wind takes you.

    First off, I've learned a new word today. Pagoda... Second, I think I'll go check out said pagoda. We'll go look for the entrance to the volcano soon, but I'm curious.

    You head in the direction of the pagoda and trudge across the sand. You hear a small rumble and a Diglett pops out a few feet from you. It looks at you for a second, before ducking back under the sand. In the far distance, you can see some horses galloping across the sand, you assume they're Ponyta. You reach the pagoda and have a look inside: not much, apart from the linings of Ho-oh statues that stretch high towards the ceiling. They seem as big as the actual Pokemon. As for Pokemon themselves, there don't seem to be any. You then spot something in the corner, a Poke Ball.
    WHAT NEXT?

    Pick up the Poke Ball and have a look
    Ignore it and have a more thorough look around the pagoda
    Go back outside onto the beach

    You move over to the Poke Ball and pick it up. It seems alright, if a bit dusty. You throw it to see if there's anything inside, but nope, it's just an empty Poke Ball. Smiling at your luck, you add it to the collection. As you make your way back to where you were standing, one of the floorboards creak. You frown and apply pressure to the board, then to the surrounding ones, it's the only one that's for sure.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Investigate further into this strange floorboard.
    Put it down to disuse and explore some more.
    Head back outside into the sunshine.

    Ooo. Lucky. I'll keep pressing my luck and check out this floorboard. Maybe it's a secret underground passageway! Or maybe I'll get a face full of mold...

    In the hope of something good, you pry open this floorboard with a little help from Zen. You pop it open and find not a secret passage, but a small red rock and a letter. The rock is warm to the touch and the letter, in its envelope, is opened, but looks to have never been sealed. How curious.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Pick up the rock and the letter.
    Don't take what isn't yours and put the floorboard back.

    I'll thank Zen for the help, then read the letter. Wonder what the origin of the stone is... It's not polite to read other people's letters, but it's also not polite to leave things lying around.

    Giving Zen's head a stroke, you sit down and read the letter. It doesn't say much, being a scrawled out diagram in pencil. The drawing is a large square with two birds drawn on the left and right side, inside the square. In the middle is a Poke Ball shape and to the right and down is a long, thinn rectangle. Beneath the diagram are the words 'six down, nine left'. Interesting. You look around the room and wonder if there's more to this pagoda then at first glance.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Follow the instructions and... do something.

    First, I'll break the 4th wall a moment and wonder what those broken images are supposed to be in the reffing. That's even more confusing to me than the puzzle, not that I have a clue what that's about. Next, I'll examine the stone. Maybe it's a clue?

    ...every image is working for me. It's only the animated menu sprites of your party and the items you currently have, being Poke Ball, Poke Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, Letter, Red Stone, in that order. Sorry if you can't see them, not sure what to do to fix that.

    Curious, you hold the red stone up to the light so you can see it better. It's a very pretty stone and when held up, it turns almost light red. But you notice that a small red beam is being emitted from the stone. You lower it to have a closer look and the beam vanishes. Frowning in thought, you hold the stone to the light and follow the beam, seeing that it lands in the middle of the room. As you move, the beam moves so it always points towards the center. You walk over and see a faint marking on the floor. Brushing the dirt and dust aside, you see it is the marking of a Poke Ball. Smiling, you look at the diagram and feel you are getting somewhere.

    http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/d/d0/Ani115MS.png It's very odd, but that's one of the images. xD I don't know. It's just these little broken image icons in front of Zen and Volt's sprites. They're gone as of your last post.

    Well, now I feel as if I've gotten somewhere, but... I'm now stumped as to what I should do next. I'll examine the carving for more hints. Perhaps it wants me to put a Pokeball there? Or a Pokeball containing someone in specific... Hm.

    Peering at the Poke Ball carving, you don't notice anything out of the ordinary. You stand in the center and have a look around, but nothing seems to be helping. Looking at the diagram you see something you didn't notice before, very faint lines coming down from the Poke Ball and to the left. They look as if they were rubbed out, but not completely. Looking at the floor itself, you don't see the same lines, but maybe that doesn't matter...

    Lines. Hm... I'll check the letter again. Maybe the rectangle has something to do with the lines. Perhaps it's a cue to stand somewhere in specific?

    You look at the map and have a look around the room.

Looking to the left and right, the large Ho-oh statues match the bird shapes of the diagram and you're currently standing on the Poke Ball. So what do these lines represent?

    I think I'll go put that floor board back to see. Then, I'll go back to the Pokeball and double check to see if the stone's only reaction is to shine at it. If there's no new reaction, I'll see if I can get it from the angle that the new lines are pointing towards. Perhaps even go explore over on that side of the room for new leads.

    As cleaning up after oneself is usually a good idea, you return the floorboard and then come back to the Poke Ball marking. You have a little look around and decide to place the stone onto it. It flashes a bright red light and you hear a loud click. The floor on which the stone sits sinks slightly, creating a small canal leading down and then to the left. The stone rolls down this path and when it reaches the end, it falls into an indent. You feel the ground rumble and one of the statues of Ho-oh begins to turn, taking a large section of the wall with it. It turns to reveal a similar sized statue of Lugia. In between his legs is a staircase leading down.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Pick up the stone and investigate the stairs.
    Leave?

    Whoo! I'll take the stone and go see what's down the staircase of doom! Best to put a Pokemon or two in their Pokeballs for this trek, though. Narrow staircases being crammed don't make for a comfortable experience.

    You pick up the stone and peer down into the gloomy depths of the thin staircase, It's very circular and quite thin. You therefore decide to withdraw Orion, who can't even fit and Volt, who has difficulty with stairs anyway. Zen volunteers to lead the way and heads down. As you climb, you hear a rumble from above as the statue rotates back around again, cutting off the remaining light. Thankfully, the stone glows quite brightly allowing you to see. Eventually, you reach the bottom and find yourself in a long passage. Another thing you note is that's it's foggy. Very, very foggy.

    Too bad I don't have a Pokemon with Defog, we'll just have to live with it :/ I'll hold the stone forward to try to cast as much light as is possible while placing my other hand against one of the walls so I can keep track of where I'm at while we go in deeper.

    Actually, Charizard knows it, but he doesn't fit in the passage, so oh well.

    You continue down the passage keeping one hand with the stone aloft and the other hand on the right hand wall. As well as being foggy, you notice it's getting much warmer too. Therefore, this passage leads into the volcano, but where?
    After a few minutes walking, you find out. You emerge in this large chasm, not that you can see due to the fog, but due to the large echo. You also hear various noises of Pokemon, but can't see anything anyway. After walking for a bit in the heat, a large figure looms out of the fog. Started, you take a step back, but realize it's a statue, or at least, a slightly broken one. You recognize the shape as a Groudon and it's sunk into the ground slightly. You also notice that its left eye is a small red stone, similar to yours, but its right eye is empty.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Take the second stone.
    Place your own stone into the eye.

    Stepping close, you place the stone into the eye and, almost magically, the fog fades. Now you can see just how large this chasm is. But, curiously, the Pokemon you heard before are nowhere to be seen. Confused, you look around, but see nothing. You also notice Zen is getting a bit unsettled and then suddenly the statue moves. The two stone eyes glow bright and the Groudon statue stands upright. It looks at you and roars.

    Amagad! Well. It's made out of stone... so I guess Zen would be the best bet for this situation! "Use two Force Palm attacks, followed by a Drain Punch and see where we're at, Zen!"

    Zen goes up to the statue and tries talking to it, but the statue doesn't acknowledge nor stop, as it swings one of its arms and strikes Zen... for no damage.

    Confused and annoyed, Zen goes forward to attack the statue once more.
    "THAT'S ENOUGH!"

    Both you and Zen are taken by surprise and look up and to the left to see a man in a red uniform shouldering a long, tied rope glaring down at you from a high ledge. He swings the rope and catches it on a stalactite. He then swings across the chasm and lands on the statue's head. He then swiftly removes both eyes and the statue, midway through its next attack, stops, as if turned off by a switch. The man hops down to the ground, loosens his rope and looks at you in anger.
    "Who are you and what are you doing here?" he asks sternly.

    I check to make certain Zen's alright, not quite sure how an attack can wind one but do no damage. Then, I'll turn to the man who did what I should have done in the first place...

    "Ah... thanks. I'm Skye and this is Zen. We're just here to explore, have some fun, and add a few more Pokemon to our small team. Who're you?"

    "Sorry. I haven't been having a good day. My name is Nigel, I'm an archeologist, further exploring this volcano. I've been poking around this place for years. I also lost my brother around an hour ago and I cannot find him. He's a scientist interested in the properties of fire types and I escorted him here for the first time, showing him the secret passageway in the pagoda." He looks at the red stone that you found.

    "Under the floor of the tower outside of the volcano," lacking the greatest vocabulary, I try to describe the place I had just come from. "It's nice to meet you, Nigel. You're the first person I've seen down here, unfortunately, so..." I haven't seen his brother, just gems, a lost note, and a free Pokeball. "Do you need any help finding him?"

    Nigel smiles. "Thank you, but it would be quicker by myself." He thinks for a moment. "Can I see the letter?" You nod and hand it over. Nigel looks at it then rolls his eyes. "Of course... this is my brother's handwriting. Looks like instructions telling someone how to reach the stone I found.
    "You see, this Groudon statue is an amazing piece of machinery. It can battle, but doesn't hurt Pokemon. It's great for training, as it was to the people who built the ruins of this place and the pagoda. As a ritual of sorts, you had to find the two Drought Stones hidden on the island and defeat the statue in battle.
    "Of course, these days, there's not much point to it. I'm thinking to ship it to a museum but if those stones are placed in its eyes, it becomes active and starts attacking. That's why I told my brother to leave the stone be, but he made a way for people to find the stone. I think it would be better if you had them. That way, no one will activate the statue again, because if the statue takes too much damage, it'll break. And I wouldn't know how to fix it."
    He pauses, then chuckles. "I'm not sure why I'm telling you all this. I seem to just trust you for some reason. Anyway, I should get going. If you want to get out of here, you should take that path," he points to a small opening on the opposite wall. "Eventually you'll come across a lever that will take you to the main part of the volcano, where most of the Pokemon are."
    He takes out a Pokeball and opens it, revealing a Magnezone. He hops onto it and it starts floating towards the ledge.
    "Maybe I'll see you around and if you see my brother, hit him on the head for me." He grins, then disappears into a large hole.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Take a break.
    Head towards the hole.

    "Of course, that all makes sense. I'm sorry for damaging it so much. I'll keep an eye out for him, take care and enjoy your research!" I wave after him before following his directions. With the stones kept safe, I'll take a short breather with Zen, letting her recover a bit before we head out to the main section of the volcano and start our search for some Pokemon.

    I'll uh o.o Ask if any of them has seen any other humans around. If not, I think I'll continue exploring this chasm. They're always great places to find things like diamonds. And lava. And creepy dungeon sounds. Lord I hate those dungeon sounds.

    You approach the nearest Pokemon, the Druddigon, and ask if they've seen any human sightings.
    "A human?" Druddigon repeats. "Aren't those things pretty rare to find? At least when you catch one, they're pretty powerful." He laughs at his joke and moves off, no longer interested in the discussion. You frown and then feel something tugging on your sleeve: the Darmanitan. He floats up to you.
    "If it's a human you want, there are rumors of one hiding out at the centre of the volcano. There's this huge stone structure that was built long ago, further back then even I can remember. However, the Aerodactyl that flies around the crater rim may be able to tell you more. You should be able to find him easily enough, we're not far from the top."

    With that, he floats away again and you spot a Torkoal move out from behind a rock. The Zubat has landed to rest and the Geodude eyes you with suspicion.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Explore the cavern a bit more.
    Talk to more Pokemon to gather more info.
    Follow the Darmanitan's instructions and head out.

    You decide the leave the large chasm and enter into a small tunnel. It's slightly cramped and a bit uneasy, but workable. After turning a sharp corner, you reach a fork in the road. Oh goody. The left path heads down and is quite steep, whereas the right path slants ever so slightly up, but there are a ridiculous amounts of rocks in the way.

    LEFT OR RIGHT?
