After hitting the first “pay dirt” after he’d found that curiously-colored marble, Kouji decided to take a few days off and had a little celebration for his sudden “windfall”; because apparently the rock he’d posted for sale had netted him quite the sum of money, which was now sitting safely in his bank account. Knowing that this was the first signs of said “gold rush”, he then decided to return to the badlands again and try hunting once more; because honestly, there was something…appealing about those marbles that people were reportedly finding lying around like hotcakes on a breakfast table. He then got dressed in the comfortable attire he needed; shorts and a loose shirt, along with applying liberal amounts of sunscreen on the exposed parts of his legs and arms. He then slipped on his heavy desert-ready boots and then added his shades and a cap; before remembering to pack a pair of thick working gloves he’d picked up just this morning before leaving for the excavation site.
Once he’d brought his shovel, he then began the walk through Lumiose and left through the exit that led to the Badlands, he then saw that there was a very long line leading up to the security detail. Hoo boy, lots of people are here again to try their luck… he thought to himself as he fell in line, shifting his backpack around, secretly glad that he’d also crammed in several bottles of water in the bag slung on his shoulders, shovel in hand. Don’t want to die of dehydration or get heat stroke, since I’m going in the afternoon… he thought as well, remembering some of the horror stories he’d read online about people who’d died from eat stroke. The line then began inching along, and once he was at the detail, the guards already knew that this was the digger who also had a camera in his things, so they didn’t question his gear anymore as it went through the inspection phase. Once he’d been given the go-ahead, he then stepped through and saw that there were a lot of individuals trying their luck—what were they looking for, he wondered.
He then began walking until he’d found another spot that looked good to him; before setting down his backpack and then starting to dig, being careful to examine each shovelful of dirt before tossing it off to one side.
Dig Dig Dig . . . What's this?! Congratulations, You've found RARE BONE ! A bone that is extremely valuable for Pokémon archeology. It can be sold for a high price to shops. ( Post a Mod Summons to exchange this for •15 )

After hearing something scrape against the metal end of the shovel he was using, Kouji then looked down at the patch of earth out of confusion. Wondering if he’d heard things right, he then struck the same patch of land and heard the same scraping noise. After making sure to shake off the grit around it—he unearthed a bone. “What? I thought only dogs buried bones in the wilderness…” he muttered to himself, shaking his head; before quickly looking at the excavated mound of earth and then returning it to its original position. It had taken him around fifteen minutes; but he had finally managed to “revert” his first spot to an untouched state, even patting down with the shovel on the mound once he was done. “Time to try elsewhere. Can’t keep finding duds now can I?” he muttered to himself as he picked up his backpack and slung it over his shoulder before looking for another spot not too fr away from the first site.
Once he’d gotten to the next spot, he then set his backpack down again on the dirt and then looked at the patch of land he had to cover. “Wish me luck…” he muttered to himself as he then began digging in this new area, hoping that something came out of his switching locations—he was on a roll after finding that weird marble the first time… and he wanted to cash in for another tidy profit! He’d also seen the other online ads of other people selling something similar to the rock he’d found; but was slightly appalled by the price ranges they were selling theirs at. Now that’s what you call highway robbery… he thought to himself as he huffed before continuing to dig up the new spot he was at.

He’d moved on to this new spot and begun digging; hoping that this time he’d be able to find something interesting… the digging continued on in silence until he felt his arms go sore from all the shoveling! “Ugh, time for me to take a short break,” he muttered to himself, tossing the shovel off to one side and then flopping down beside his backpack, zipping it open and bringing up a water bottle. Good thing I invested in those insulated packs… so my water’s as cold as when I packed it in this morning… he thought as he rubbed the bottle over his forehead, if but to relieve the sweltering heat around him. After taking care of the temperature problem, he cracked the top of the bottle open and then took a long drink from it, not realizing that he’d drained it in one go.
“Ugh. This heat can seriously cook an egg… or worse,” he continued to himself as he then covered the bottle and placed it down next to the bag, before pulling himself up and grabbing the shovel again. A few more silent moments of digging later, he then saw something… black glistening in the ground. Secretly glad he didn’t scratch it, he then recognized it for what it was—a Moon Stone. “Oops, not exactly what I need,” he continued to himself, quickly and gently picking it up using the shovel and then leaving it off to one side; before continuing to search in this particular spot. If I don’t find anything, I’ll move locations and then continue there… he thought to himself, realizing that staying in one place was probably a bad idea whenever it came to treasure-hunting. Wonder what I’m going to find this time… he thought to himself as he continued to shovel on in silence, wishing he’d placed his backpack much closer to where he was digging right now.
Dig Dig Dig . . . What's this?! Congratulations, You've found DOME FOSSIL ! Take this fossil to one of the League Professors to revive the ancient Pokemon.

dig fin... for now

Kouji then continued his digging in silence—however, he would be very surprised when his shovel would hit something that did not make a “clink” noise like last time; this time it made a noise that sounded like a “clunk”. Wondering what mass could be possible in order to make a sound like that a very distinct and definite “clunk”, he then placed the shovel off to one side; before squatting down on his knees and beginning to shovel through the dirt using his own hands instead. He could feel his fingers brushing across an unusual surface, so he continued to shovel aside dirt with his gloved hands until the thing he’d been rubbing the tips of his fingers came to light—it was a Fossil. He’d read about these things; and knew that even If they were not worth their weight in gold as much as the “marbles” were, he knew that there was a chance of him being able to get a Pokémon from this little thing he was staring at right now.
“Heh, helps to know if you’ve read a lot of things about breeding. However I wonder what would come out of this if I were to take him and have him revived…” he pondered to himself; deciding that this day wasn’t such a waste as he hoped it would be, and continued to unearth the dirt and grit around the fossil. Soon enough, the entire thing was laid bare in the heat of the sun, and he carefully plucked it out of the ground, and was surprised to feel that it had some weight to it; even in its current fossilized state. “Well, I’ll know once I get you revived at a Professor’s lab somewhere… I think there was one somewhere in Unova… or if I’m lazy I might as well find one here in Kalos and ask them to do it for me,” he said to himself, gently hefting it into his hands and then picking up his shovel—he was done with the area for the day; at least for now! I’ll be back and find more of those shining shimmering splendid little things… and gain some more quick cash… he thought to himself as he bent over to pick up his backpack, along with the water bottle, and exiting the dig site.
