Spike walked into the building behind Crevice. He looked around for a while. Then he noticed that Crevice had sat down. This is going nowhere fast. He sat down next to Crevice. "So whats your name?"

Aria, who had been following the others the entire time, sat down by Crevice, looking around thoughtfully. After a few minutes, she finally cleared her throat. "Why don't we call out and listen for th epokemon from the vents and from hallways?"

After deciding that the Horsea, called Spike, was actually speaking to him, Crevice took a few seconds to find his voice again. After he had found it, he spoke. "My name is Crevice" he said, in a voice that sounded rather out of practice. Then, responding to what he had eventually decided was a Suicune, he nodded and said "Sounds like a good plan."

"I'm Spike" Spike said as he moved towards the vents. "Here goes nothing." He went closer to the vent. "YO INKY!"

Whoa, what was that!Todo heard a voice foma a vent."Sorry this is TODO,Not INKY!!!"He yelled in the vent.

If Aria was an anime character, she would have a teardrop on her head. Then two. Then many. She lifted her paw and hit the back of Spike's head lightly with dull eyes. ((You know: -_-')) She then looked down the hall. "I meant inside the vents! The humans will hear you if you yell right here!" She whispered.

((She saw a chart on a wall in Robert's office, where she woke up. It had a list of species, including humans. Aria read it in her free time, between posts.))

"ooo inside the vents, i knew that."Spike said to Aria embarassed. "Whats that chart?"

Crevice tilted his head to the side curiously. "I think I heard a pokemon" he said, trotting over to an open vent on the side of the wall and looking into it. Just as he got close to the vent, he slipped in a puddle of water from one of the various sea pokemon and fell into the vent with a yelp. After a few seconds his muffled voice could be heard from inside the metal chute "I'm fine, pretty dusty in here though."

Todo climbed into the vent"Hello!,anybody here!"

Hearing the voice yet again, Crevice crawled further down the vent and bumped into a small pokemon with sharp teeth. "Hi, I'm Crevice" said Crevice, as he tried to find room to breathe in the cramped vent "Are you the pokemon that went back into the building?"

"I'm Todo, and yes I went into the building.So, how do we get out of this dump, it's creepy."

Shaking some of the dust off of his head, Crevice looked around for an exit. "Well, we might just slip if we go back up, especially because I'm so big. So that only leaves down" he said, wriggling toward the way that Todo had come from.

"Are you kidding, there are humans everywhere. they will catch us.Do want to be in that tank again?"

"Actually, I was in a swimming pool" said Crevice "but I suppose that's beside the point. Maybe there's another exit from these vents somewhere" Crevice finished, sniffing the air to see how many directions it might be coming from.

My internet broke down, using somewhere else...
I see it's going well

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Omanyte heard the voices of his comrades who had just ran past him into the building. He continued sliding in, until he came across a vent. There were fresh prints on the carpet. Omanyte stiffened his resolved while looking up into the ominous passage, and slowly summited. He watched the Vaporeon talk to the Totodile, noticing that there was a gigantic fan behind them.

Suddenly, it started to spin... faster, and faster! Omanyte began to blow backwards, even with his powerful tentacles' suction, and he didn't dare to see what was happening ahead.

Crevice started to feel a strange motion pulling at him. Panicking, he felt his claws slipping as he went toward a huge fan, with Todo right behind him. Crevice growled nervously and sunk his teeth into the vent wall, but they simply scraped across the shiny surface. "What do we do?!" he asked Todo franticly. Without waiting for the answer, in a blind panic Crevice attempted to scramble further up the vent, but only sliding down closer to the giant fan. To Crevice, doom seemed evident.

With that, Aria started. She ran into the vents and went to where Crevice and Todo were. "Get on my back, and hold the Omanyte!" She said to Todo and Crevice.

((She weighs enough not to fall into the fan and she can resist it.))

"Yeah I get to ride on a Suicune,Whoooooooooo!" Todo got on Ayria."Let's go!"

Aria almost rolled her eyes. Almost. However, instead she gently bit Crevice on the neck (Like how a mother dog does to her baby; I'm not trying to kill you.) and placed him on her back, and then did the same to the Omanyte. She then walked out of the danger of the fan and into the safe area of the vents, which led to where they were previously.

Crevice was holding on to the back of the suicune for dear life, barely controlling the urge to unsheathe his claws. He looked a real mess with wide eyes and his fur sticking backward. After a few seconds of staying as still as a statue, he managed to speak again. "What on pokeworld was that?" he asked shakily, still unable to move a muscle.

Aria looked back at the vents. "I don't know how I know this, but it was probably the fan used to clean the air or, in our case, sneaking creatures."

Crevice slowly relaxed his body, falling off of the suicune and onto the floor. Shaking his blue fur back to a regular appearance, he then spoke again. "Well, at least we're all together again" he said.

Ahh... my Internet's back...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Omanyte thanked the Suicune and rolled himself off.
He weighed their options again, the fan, or a ditch.

He said spunkily, "Well, if you had to die in one of two ways, would you rather be blown into something and crack your neck, or fall down and smash into a gazillion pieces? Think carefully."

He eyed them cautiously, then gazed down into the ditch before them.

"Smash in gazillion pieces!!!!!!!!, Whoooooooooooo!!!" Todo was exited,like most of the time."Or we clould blow up and go KABOOM!!!!!!"

Aria sighed. "Why don't we just go back out the front door again?"
