Search for that Treasure!

[Energy: 57 - (25+5) = 27 Energy]

Soaring in the skies above the fiery chasm below, a prehistoric pokemon gave a screech as he circled a portion of it. His wings were spread as he slowly descended onto the ground below him. He finally landed after finding the best place to land, which was pretty much everywhere there wasn't any lava.The archeops landed a little clumsily, not quite perfecting his landing due to only just recently having evolved. He waited for his passenger to hop off, as he surveyed the area.

They were here in search of the treasure that the Xatu had seen. The being that stared at the sun had come around town and even to the guild, spreading his riddle of this new treasure that would surely bring them riches.

As much as he wished he could fall asleep, the rocky flight and fear of falling to his death kept Sova awake while he was lifted to his destination. At least he didn't have to try to walk the whole way. Upon landing, he quickly hopped off onto the ground to survey the area for a moment before falling down, almost passing out. He stood back up, a bit shaky, eyes half open, and fell right back down after attempting to walk. "Okay....goodnight." He said, sounding a bit out of it and tired as he began drifting out of consciousness.

The archeops looked at the eevee, surprised that it was going to sleep. He then figured that the trip must have been rather difficult, especially since Acro hadn't quite perfected even solo-flight. Acro quickly reached into his bag, shuffling the practically empty bag and picking out an Oran Berry. The round blue health item was then offered to the exhausted Eevee, hoping to restore at least some energy into the tired fox like pokemon.

"Erm...here, this should help you out a bit. It wouldn't be such a good idea to sleep out in the open like this, let alone sleep out here at all. Feral pokemon around here are rather territorial, and odds are we landed on some pokemon's turf, and they wont like that."

He glanced around, not spotting any pokemon, but seemed to suspect that there were at least some around. He had experienced pokemon run in from behind, drop from the sky, and even burst up from the ground before, dangerous pokemon could literally lurk around any corner.

Despite seeming to already be half asleep, Sova really was trying to stay awake.  The high temperature of the area didn't help at all with that either.  Though Oran Berries weren't one of his favorite foods, he knew he would need it to manage in a place so dangerous.  Lifting himself off the ground, he accepted the berry and began feeling the effects of it almost instantly.

"Sorry, sorry, I get sidetracked easy sometimes....I forgot how dangerous this place is."  His voice sounded less tired and he no longer looked so weary.  He looked around to get a good view of the area before deciding what he thought best to do.  "We should try to head to the center of the crater, don't you think?  The treasure is probably more likely to be around there than on the outer edge, if it's here."

The archeops nodded, "I would fly us there, but the longer we stay airborne in an area like this, the more likely we'll be spotted, and attacks could be launched from below. In order to avoid it I would have to make sudden movements which might throw you off and into a rather unfortunate place," he spoke while looking at one of the bubbling pools that were scattered across the place. Lava wasn't exactly Eevee nor Archeops friendly, only fire pokemon were able to withstand the heat of the red liquid.
He looked back to the eevee, "Are you sure you'll be alright? It was a long flight..."

Sova began walking along a path towards the center of the area, not afraid of the lava, though he didn't like the heat. "I'll be fine, come on. Treasure awaits!" He tried to keep happy and upbeat despite being agitated by the heat and still a bit weak. "Though....I don't know any specific place to look. How about you?" He said as he looked around the area. Mostly rocky terrain and lava. "Maybe you could fly above without me and scout?"

The archeops considered the idea after shaking his head as an answer to the first question. If he flew into the sky, the Eevee would be vulnerable for attacks. He would be able to see attacks coming from above though right? He gave a nod to the second question and backed up a bit before dashing forth and leaping into the air, catching a nice breeze that felt good as it ruffled his feathers. He soared and circled into the air, surveying the area and spotting some things. They weren't different from what was normally around here though.

Sova walked forward, trusting in his escort to keep a good watch on the area from above. He wasn't afraid of the fire, though he didn't like the idea of being alone on the ground with fire-types in the area. But fear isn't bad, it's a natural thing in a dangerous situation....being overcome by fear is the bad part. So he kept walking, actually getting bored. It was a surprisingly long way to the center.

A random spray of lava out of the ground near the Eevee made him jump out of the way of it, bumping into a rock. He began walking again, away from the rock, not noticing the lava oozing out of the bottom of the stone, forming a Magcargo.

The archeops's eagle eye returned to the escort below, he gave a screech as he noticed the red lava oozing from beneath the stone and following the eevee. It was a macargo, and it didn't seem to be happy about being bumped into. Acro made a twisting move in the sky before diving down, using his flying skills as an actual attack in attempt to strike the target. He considered himself lucky that macargo were usually slow, since he wasn't that good at striking moving bodies from above like this. He neared the beast of magma, only for the slug to notice him and a pillar of flames to erupt from its shell. The archeops gave a screech and veered away, "Run!" he called out to the escort.

Sova looked to his guard as he heard the screech, then looked in the area the Archeops was diving to notice the stone he had bumped into moving.  He was a bit surprised, not noticing it was a Magcargo earlier, but nonetheless readied for combat.  His ally shouted 'run', but he couldn't just leave an ally behind, even if he was putting himself in unnecessary danger.  "Run!?  What's the point in that?"  He yelled with a giggle as he ran into the battle, near Acro.

"Hey, you're having trouble getting near him, right?  Maybe I can help out, throw me!  Try to hit the shell though!"  He said as he prepared some kind of super mid air tackle.  Stupid idea?  Maybe.

(The point of emphasizing the word 'help' is - using the move Helping Hand.)

The archeops was a bit hesitant, but decided to trust the strangely unafraid Eevee. He swooped down below and plucked the Eevee off the land like an eagle to fish in a lake and rose into the sky. A pillar of flame followed him, nearly scorching his tail, but he managed to avoid it. He soared in a circle, picking up speed by diving towards the magargo, aiming for the shell as he released Sova along with throwing the eevee at top speed. He swooped back into the air, having felt himself be powered up during the flight and picked up speed. This odd occurrence was strange to him, he had never felt the help of a move similar to this one before.

Sova completely allowed himself to be picked up and focused on getting ready to be a projectile. Upon being thrown, he swung his back legs forward so that he could land on his legs, not fancying hitting the Magcargo's rocky shell with his head. His ally had a very good aim, throwing him right at the enemy's shell, making his part fairly easy. The impact burned and stung his feet, from a mix of being thrown at a high speed and hitting the very hot shell of a Magcargo, but it sure did the trick as the enemy flew far backwards, its shell gaining a large crack. Sova tumbled forward a bit as well, not being stopped by the impact alone.

"I'm okay!" He shouted as he stood and looked at the downed enemy to make sure it wasn't getting back up. It was certainly out cold. "Great throw, have you done this before or something?" He then started to notice the stinging in his feet, but tried to just ignore it. He didn't seem at all phased by what would likely scare most Pokemon his size senseless. Did anything scare him? Probably, but certainly not that.

The archeops circled around and landed not far from the eevee, his landing still far from graceful, but at least he didn't accidentally land in someplace he didn't want to land. The archeops looked to Sova as he spoke to the archeops, "Erm, no actually. I haven't even flown that much, did you do anything that might have helped? I don't remember ever flying that great, even on the way here it was still a bit edgy when the winds changed directions."

Acro was still ignorant of the existence of a move such as Helping Hand, he never really had any support moves himself, the only ones even close were only beneficial to him.

Sova began to walk towards the center of the area again, back on track, trying to ignore the stinging in his feet. He laughed a bit at the question, finding it funny his ally didn't know what he had done. Did the Archeops seriously not know about the move Helping Hand? Tons of Pokemon can use that move, he thought everyone knew about it. At least, everyone who's ever been in a battle with allies. "Well, you could say I gave you a....Helping Hand....If you didn't get the joke, I used the move Helping Hand."

"Ah," the archeops spoke, a bit unsure of how to react to the pun. He looked back to the magcargo, checking to make sure it was out for the count.

"I think I should just stay down here for now, even though I can spot stuff from the air, me being above you would be like waving a flag and shouting 'Here I am! Come eat me!' don't you think?" The archeops folded his wings to his sides, not thinking he would be taking off anytime soon again.

Not far off, a strange vixen sat upon a large and tall boulder that may as well been a pillar if it had been holding something up. She gave a sigh, it was boring around here. She needed someone to play with. Her hand was holding up her chin as it rested on a knee as she surveyed the area, spotting a strange duo, a bird and another fox like creature. Perhaps this could amuse her for a while...
