It was a beautiful morning in Jhoto, both people and Pokemon were in a cheerful mood as they crowded around the Ruins of Alph, waiting for the line to get moving so they could get inside, and enjoy the wonders of the new chamber that had just been opened.

But one pikachu didn't care about the new chambers in the ruins, or even the fact that it was a nice day. It was only focused on the crowd that was slowly forming in front of the ruins. "Jackpot..." she grinned, putting a pair of pale purple sun-goggles over her green eyes. "I'm gonna get a good haul today!" In a flash, she jumped off the branch she was sitting in, and ran over to the group of people, hiding behind anything she could while doing so.

Sarah spent the next hour searching for her targets, the silver cylinders that held her favorite drink, energy drinks. She swiped cans out of people's hands, took some from tables when no one was looking, and even dug through trainer's bags to get the elusive beverage. Soon, she had a small stash of cans that she was now rolling down a corridor in the Ruins themselves, carrying a can in her mouth, some on her back, and pushing a few on the floor that wouldn't of fit otherwise.

Once she felt she was in a somewhat secluded spot, Sarah dropped the cans she was holding, and sat them all upright so she could properly assess them, by opening the cans and taking a little sip. She muttered to herself while doing so.

"....nope...that's just soda..." she grimaced, swatting the can to the side as she tried another one "...more soda...yuck...geez what is it with humans and soda?" she muttered as she pushed another can away, going for the third one in the lineup "..YES! This is a good one!" She shouted, and was about to start drinking more of it when she heard a faint rumbling in the distance, and it grew louder and louder, the sound of stone hitting stone as doorways began slamming shut, and various screams from both people and pokemon, and the screeching sound of a bunch of unknowns screaming in what sounded like anger. It was too much for Sarah to handle. She grabbed the cans she had left and curled around them to protect them, crouching down to the floor and closing her eyes.

And just as soon as it started, it was over. Sarah took a moment to stand up, shakily, and checked out her stash of energy drinks for any possible damage. Seeing that everything was in order, Sarah sipped from the can she had chosen earlier and looked around the cavern she had ended up in. The door that she had ran into moments earlier was completely vanished, the only hint of it being there was one of the soda cans she had tossed aside earlier. She got chills down her spine at the can's crushed appearance, knowing very well that it could of been her if she had decided trying to escape.

Sarah took a deep breath to slow down her racing heart, and made a decision. "Maybe I should find a way out of here..or at least...maybe find someone that knows what the heck's going on..." she muttered..and after a failed attempt at grabbing all of her cans she had left, she decided to just drag the one she had open with her, wandering onto another doorway in the process.

It was going to be a long day...
