Can't go wrong twice .... right?

First topic message reminder :

Noel walked along the path leading to the ruin, her hands in her coat pockets and scarf slightly blowing in the small wind there was. The path was normal it avoided the water all together and lead right into the back of the falls.

Behind it was a towering ruin that seemed to fill the cave and only had a entrance there, Noel felt the same cold aura she did last time from this place and walked in hoping there wasn't another outlaw

Noel went past and kept going slowly until she was sure she was clear of the Pokemon. Once she was however she had to notice the old crumbling wall, and how small rocks fell from the top of the hallway and right on the Pupitar, Noel froze as it slowly woke up and looked around, seeing Noel and Rouge it glowed with a white energy and slammed on the ground as rocks started to fall from the ceiling. "Rouge run." Noel said as she started moving farther down the hallway, the rocks wouldn't just hurt they would block off their path and Noel knew she wasn't fast enough to get to the other side without getting crushed so this was the next best thing.

Rouge watched in horror as the ceiling started collapsing. he turned toward noel and the pupitar but backed up so not to get crushed by the rocks.

"NO-EL!" Rouge screamed just as the ceiling fell between them. He wasn't sure what to do or where to go, he was alone.

"N-oel?" he said once more putting one paw on the rocks once everything settled down. He turned to face the only way he'd be able to with his... where had it gone? he had lost his club in the confusion, he wasn't just alone, but with out his main form of attack and defense. This was not a good situation at all.

Noel turned around and looked at the rocks that kept her where she was, she looked around the room and saw no exit, Noel let out a small sigh as she looked at the area trying to find a item or something that could help her. Noel looked at the ground near her and saw the bone Rouge kept with him, Noel bent down and picked the item up and put it in her bag, which she didn't have on her, she must of dropped it on the other side. Noel remembered the strap was breaking so it might just be on the other side in that room. "Rouge can you hear me?" Noel called out, she had heard Rouge but she was unsure of the other side, or how much he could hear.

Rouge heard noel's incredibly muffled voice and started scrabbling at the wall or rocks crying out with no particular words, just trying to keep some sort of vocal contact with his partner, moments after he caught something out of the corner of his eye, and ran to it. he found Noel's bag with a broken strap. He picked it up keeping it closed and hugging it to him as if it were his bone. he knew this wouldn't let him fight like he would used to but he at least had something with him. he attempted to call out.

"Ba-ag her-e! N-oe-l!" his voice rang out as he tried to keep himself more calm that he was a few moments ago. if he was going to get out of this, he needed to stay calm. he had survived worse, granted he always had a friendly pokemon with him in those times.

Noel walked back a little bit the ran forward with her paw back, she ran forward and slammed her paw against the rocks using Force palm, this cause them to jump a little but she didn't have enough force to fully break through. Noel fell back slightly clutching her paw. "Well that was a stupid idea." Noel mumbled to herself. Noel looked around the area for anything she could use to break down this wall. Noel saw something that caught her eye though, one of the walls near her was slightly broken. Noel walked over and pushed on the wall, it gave away quickly and fell revealing another cave. Noel looked in the cave for a moment before talking. 'Guess this is the only way." Noel said aloud to herself not knowing there was another fake wall on Rouges side, he'd hear the voice coming from the fake and easy to break wall.

Rouge turned towards Noel's voice, searching the wall. he found a small crack in the wall with a small breeze coming from it. he tapped the wall, it was weak but not week enough for him to break though with just his paws. he backed up and set noel's bag down taking up a running stance. he launched himself at the wall, not impressively fast, but fast enough that the moment he hit the wall it broke under his weight. It wasn't long before he hit a solid wall on the other side in the passage. he grunted and fell to the ground, rubbing his shoulder. he had bruised it, but it wasn't broken or dislocated as far as he could tell. he looked around as he stood up and saw Noel with his bone. He was tempted to charge at her to hug her and take his bone, but decided to only wave at her.

"Noe-l" he called out, smiling.

Noel started walking towards the hall but she heard something coming from farther down the hall, Noel stopped for a moment hearing the noise and getting into a ready stance wondering what had made the noise, her mind was put to rest when she saw Rouge standing waving at her. Noel smiled and walked over to Rouge, she handed him the bone before talking. 'Here this was on my side, figured you'd want it back." Noel looked around as she handed the item to Rouge, it seemed the two paths went towards another hallway, seems this was the better path to go after all. 'Are you ok Rouge?" Noel added wondering if he hurt himself, she had some berries in her pack if he was.

Rouge nodded hugging his precious bone. quickly he ducked back into the room and grabbed noel's back and brought it to her. He looked to the hallway, it seemd no different than any other hallway he had seen here so far, but if Noel felt it was a better way or if it was too dangerous, he wouldn't argue. He was happy he had his bone, and that this passage allowed him and noel to meet back up. this was a good sign for this trip, as had they not been able to meet back up, rouge wouldn't have a clue how to get out of this place.

"The other way led to a dead end, aside from walking back this is the only way forward." Noel said looking down the hall, she was sure those walls were supposed to be well hidden but due to how old this place is that might not be the case anymore. Noel crossed her arms for a moment wondering if they should trust this path, a random hidden path did make her explorer side go nuts but she needed to worry about safety here. "Lets keep moving." Noel said walking down the hall, unless Rouge had something to say she'd keep going.

Rouge followed, things had gotten better now that they could actually go ahead instead of hit a certain dead end. He wasn't sure what this place was, but he knew one thing, there was more danger than he had previously thought. He did wish he could just leave this place, but he was bound here by Noel though. unless she wanted to leave this place, he wouldn't be able to leave. He looked around quietly as they moved forwards, trying to catch a hint of anything visually interesting.

Noel stopped walking the moment they reached a area with more then one path, three to be exact. Noel looked at all of them before hearing something, she walked over to the first path and felt a small breeze come from the area, wind normally meant that was a way out. "Hey Rouge I think this way leads out. Do you want to start heading out or keep going." Noel asked thinking this was a slightly dangerous place, that last thing was really bad and she didn't want to put Rouge and herself in harms way, if she could avoid it completely she'd be happier.

Rouge thought about this for a moment. This place was dangerous, and they may be able to get trapped inside should the wrong thing happen. Then again they may find something worth while. He mulled over this for a moment before speaking.

"O-u-ut" Rouge stated, he was ready to leave. He only hoped that she felt the same way about the fact that this place may be nothing but trouble.

Noel nodded, she was a bit worried about this place also, mostly the fact she was almost crushed but anyone wouldn't like that. "Alright then good, don't think the risk is worth the possible reward." Noel said giving a small thought towards the decision. Noel waited for a moment staring at the area where the wind blew, she shook her head once before talking. "I don't know why, but I feel like something bad's about to happen." Noel said in a slightly worried tone, she couldn't help but feel this strange sense of dread when she looked at the cave ahead of them.

"Ya lets just head out." Noel said turning around and walking back the way they came, she liked to explore but she trusted her instincts more.

Rouge nodded and followed Noel, he was ready to get out into the fresh air. This tower was full of traps and pupatars. Rouge hoped that nothing eventful would happen as they were leaving. These gray walls and stone floors were trouble, and he wanted never to see them again. As they exited the dower Rouge looked back to the building and narrowed his eyes at it. He has happy to be out of it.

Noel looked back at the ruins once they left, she couldn't help but wonder to herself if something was actually in the ruin. Noel knew it wasn't that big of a ruin nor did it seem that powerful a dungeon, Noel shook her head ridding herself of these thoughts and looked at Rouge. "It was mostly me who wanted to explore, sorry to drag you along." Noel said, she knew this place was most likely going to be dangerous but she hadn't expected the roof to fall on her head, that was a surprise she could of not have.
