Alex waited in the ranger base, bored. "I should do something productive while everyone else is out on missions..." he said to himself. Alex captured another skarmory and decided to fly around, then found a cave, but not the same one from the mission board. Without remembering to check his coordinates he let the skarmory fly away and entered the cave. "Murkrow, think of all the amazing things we could find down here!" He said to his partner Pokemon. "Wait, I've got an idea, lets search for a Dusk Stone so you can evolve. This may take some time." After an hour of searching Alex finally found a partially glowing purple stone buried under some rocks. "Murkrow! It's time for you to evolve!" Alex took the small rose from the bird and gave him the rock which reacted immediately. The bright glow from the evolution lit up the cave and Alex noticed something unusual just a bit deeper in the cave on the ceiling but then the light was gone and his partner was now fully changed to a Honchcrow. "Wow! That's great, here's your rose back." He handed the item and looked back at where he found the Dusk Stone. "Wow! Look Honch, can I call you that now? There's tons of rare stone here!" Suddenly a Sableye came from the depths of the cave. "Oh, hello! So you must be the guy I saw huh?" He heard something from behind him, more Sableye! "Uh, guys, c'mon we're all friends here right?" He looked back at the original which now had more friends by its side and none of them looked happy. All at once they lashed out using night slash. "Ow, ow, OW!" Alex hid behind the nearest rock but was unable to escape because he was surrounded. "Honch! Keep them off me while I, OUCH, contact a professional ranger!" He spoke through his partially intact mic hoping some of the message would get through, this is all it picked up: "This is Alex Techten ranger-in-training! I a-zzzzz-need of imidea-zzzzz-sistance, I am unsure of the coordi-zzzzzzzzz..." (Message has been cut off by static.)
