It was now the start of the August digging season, and Izumi knew she’d slacked off for the first two days of the month—and now that the weather was settling down, she decided to go and try her luck once again in the Badlands! She knew that there were some who were striking it big, and some who didn’t get anything at all; she was in the “mixed bag” category, because it was a hit-and-miss thing for her. She still had her Sandstorm-centered team, and knew that some of them would love digging—her Garchomp and Swampert, for starters. Knowing that she had little time to waste, she then immediately packed up all the necessities—never forgetting to bring sunscreen and a lot of water and some high-energy snacks for the trip—and then set out from Lumiose’s northwestern exit, the one that led to the Power Plant and subsequently the Badlands. She could see that several other people headed in the same direction as she was—and knew she had to hurry up, otherwise there wouldn’t be anything left for her to dig up and take home! Once he had arrived at the entrance to the Badlands, she was shocked to see the massive number of people lining up in order to get access to the site, so she went to the very back of the line and decided to spend the time waiting in the line by applying enough sunscreen on her exposed arms and legs. She had come to the dig site wearing her “excavation gear” which consisted of a light-colored shirt, a pair of rugged shorts, her steel-toed boots, along with a pair of shades and a hat that she’d perched atop her head at the last second. Her shovel was slung across her shoulder; while the backpack was slung on her other one, containing the rations she needed. Her Pokémon team was clipped onto a cheesy-looking belt that had slots for six very different and unique-looking Pokeballs, and she knew by heart who was inside which. Once she’d finally arrived at the checkpoint she then submitted her things for inspection—and finally gained access to the area. “Now, where to begin,” she muttered, after finally stepping into the grounds and looking around for another place that she had yet to explore. She knew that there was a high chance she would be digging in a spot where she’d already done so, and she decided to go further out, and hiked through the hot sun, watching other people either digging using shovels or doing it the way she did—digging themselves and using their ‘mons that could go through the dirt in order to cover more area. After around ten minutes of hiking, she finally came to a spot that looked deserted, set down her backpack, and began digging at this lonely, deserted area. Normally she’d have sent out her companions in order to be able to cover more ground, but this time she wanted to test the waters and see if she could be able to find something while digging alone… | | | | | WORDS 517 TAGS treasure time!
