Treasure or just A LOT of sand?

Sova nodded in agreement at Silverdawn's offer. "We'd be more than happy to have more company. Besides, digging must get old fast, right?" He then realized the Nincada probably didn't have much other choice, given he seemed to be completely loss. "Wait, you have to come with us, you don't know where you are." He said with a slight giggle and began walking in the direction of the Silent Temple. "Let's go!"

The tired, disoriented Eevee from a few minutes ago was now awake and ready to take some initiative....hoping he remembered correctly which way the temple was.

The Nincada's eyes widened in shock upon hearing where he was.
The desert of all places? Full of Fire types and nowhere to hide?!
What had he done wrong to deserve a fate like this?
First the clan and all that and then...and this...
"Aargh!", the Bug type exclaimed in frustration, momentarily forgetting the other Pokémon around him.
"Oh, uh, sorry. Lostr contol there for a second...", he quickly apologized, hoping for the others to forget about this outbreak as quickly as possible.
Now...how would he be able to get out of here?
He hated to admit it, but despite the obvious risks involved the safest way out of here would be traveling with them.
"I...I guess I don't have a choice..."

(9E+1E=10E)

Silverdawn began to follow the eevee, as he suddenly seemed to take the leading role. It was fine with her. She had felt a little ridiculous leading others, being blind, even if she could "see" with her echolocation. It sounded like the beginning of a bad joke: 'a blind ekans led an eevee and a nincada through the desert....' Silverdawn shook her head again. Where were these stupid ideas coming from anyway? She sniffed the air, a sudden scent being carried on the hot, dry air. A pokemon? Or something else?

(11E + 1E = 12E)

The member 'Silverdawn' has done the following action : Dices Roll

'Scorchfall Desert' :

(13+1=14) (I put mine at the top of my post like a hipster HAH.)

Sova marched forward, not showing how bothered he was by the hot sand and lack of shade - which was a lot. He thought he saw the temple coming into view once, but it was just a large rock. He noticed Silverdawn had found a TM, but was more worried about the treasure. ....A TM couldn't be the treasure, right? He didn't really know what to look for, after all. Maybe his companions would. "Either of you know what the 'treasure' might be?"

While the Nincada wasn't really bothered by the ground below him, the lack of shade and the subsequent heat as well as lack of cover from potential foes did make him feel quite uneasy.
Just like his travel over the Black Spear Mountain Range this trip would definitely not be easy. And here the small Bug type was facing the additional danger of most likely encountering quite a few dreaded Fire types.
"Uh, considering that I had no idea where I was or that there supposedly is a treasure here - no, I have no clue at all where, what or why this treasure might be here."

Silverdawn was excited. She had found a TM! Sure it was for Sandstorm, a move she couldn't use and even if she could she had no use FOR, but it would sell for a pretty penny at a shop in town and then she could buy some more supplies for her glass-blowing business. The eevee ahead of her asked if they knew what the mysterious treasure was. "Well I don't know for sure, but from what the Xatu said, it's a treasure that no one has ever seen before, so it must be ancient and really special!" She said excitedly.

12E - 1E (roll) = 11E

Just as Sova began to think they may have been walking in the wrong direction, the temple came into view. It looked nice for how long it'd probably been there, but it was a little out of the ordinary for the desert. "Well, hopefully we'll find out what the treasure is real soon. Onward to the temple!" He broke into a light run in excitement, not considering if his companions would be able or willing to keep up in the hot desert or what a bad idea it would be to separate from the others.

"A Xatu...", the Nincada began to wonder.
If it knew of such a treasure, then why didn't it go look for it itself?
Was it too weak? Too lazy? Was this a trap? Or maybe there was some other reason.
In any case it didn't seem as if he would be able to stop the other two from continuing on their journey and he would most likely not be able to return back to Grassveil without their help, so there wasn't much of a choice he was having.
And then the temple appeared on the horizon. It was a large building of sandstone, barely coloured any differently than the hot desert sand.
What was supposed to be hidden in its depths?
Some shade at least.

Silverdawn was relieved when her echolocation finally sent back something other than desert: a stone tower rising in the distance. Apparently Sova was just as excited, for he broke into a run. Silverdawn stiffened, smelling an enemy on the air. "Ssssstop!" she hissed in alarm, racing forward to prevent the Eevee from running right into the enemy pokemon. There was an irritated snarl, and a pokemon jumped out at them. Silverdawn trilled frightfully, and an image of an angry sandshrew formed in her head. She backed away, her tail whipping around to jab at the sandshrew. It reeled backward to avoid the rush, and then jumped at her, scratching her on the head. Silverdawn hissed in pain and threw it off, breathing heavily. Hopefully the Eevee was alright.

Sova stopped upon Silverdawn's request, a bit confused. He didn't exactly have a good nose for sniffing out trouble and had no clue there was a Sandshrew under the sand. His first thought was to apologize for disturbing it, but before he could, it engaged an attack and Silverdawn rushed into assistance. Sova quickly got into attacking position as well, striking the Sandshrew with a tackle as soon as the Ekans threw it off of her. Direct hit, he expected the Sandshrew to react more, but it didn't seem very phased.... Sova jumped back and tried to think of a strategy....it didn't seem to be phased much by physical attacks, he didn't have any special attacks though....

Oh, maybe the other two did! "Hey, I don't think physical attacks are doing much....Ned, do you have any special attacks? Silverdawn, how about y-" He was cut off by the Sandshrew lunging forward towards him and had to Detect to avoid it. He then hopped back to gain some ground on it.

Of course. Of course there just had to be an enemy.
There was no way that anything the Nincada would ever try to do would go over peacefully.
No, despite his strong dislike or rather fear of fighting and his subsequent actions to avoid it whenever possible or maybe even because of them, the universe constantly decided to throw yet another feral Pokémon at the Bug type. But there was not much that could be done about it now.
Fighting may not be Magic, but at least it would get rid of the problem at hand.
"Nothing of even remote use. As usual there is nothing of value I can do."
Yet they would expect for him to do something, so there wasn't really any reason to just stand around, even if the other two would be doing all the effective fighting.
A glittering, silvery powder trickled down onto the sandy ground from behind the Nincada's wing stubs, quickly being picked up again by a breeze coming from seemingly nowhere at all.
Soon shining sickles of Silver Wind were flying towards the Sandshrew. Most likely without noticeable effect, but at least he did something.

Silverdawn shook her head. "All I've got are physical attacks. But we don't have to knock it out for it to get the idea. It's just a sandshrew; it's probably just scared or upset that we disturbed it. If we all look menacing enough, hurt it a little, it should back away on it's own!" She said reasonably.

She lashed out with her poisonous tail again, slamming against the sandshrew, which cried out in pain as it was knocked to the side. She hissed menacingly, and glared in its direction. Even though she was blind, her leer still worked; in fact her blindness helped here, creeping the pokemon out even further. "Attack it from all sides!" she called to her companions.

Sova darted over to a side of the enemy, leaving an area for the Nincada to join and form a perfect triangle. He dashed forward into the Sandshrew with a tackle, causing it to stumble backwards slightly before attempting to retaliate, which was swiftly Detected and avoided. Sova leaped back away from the Sandshrew to regain his ground on it. "Alright Ned, you too!" He said as he looked to the Nincada to attack as well.

Attack it from all sides. Wow, what a great idea. Noone would ever have thought of it, would this genius of an Ekans not have made that suggestion. But Ned decided not to speak up about it. He still needed these Pokemon's protection after all. But what was he supposed to do?
There was no attack he could use, that would allow for a significant amount of damage to be dealt.
If he were to use Silver Wind, there would be a high risk of accidentally damaging the other two and in close combat he would just get in the way. So...what could he do?
He really wasn't the Pokémon to look threatening or block someone's way either.
Not effectively at least.
So, there really was nothing he could do.
Just typical.
