The World IV [Badlands Treasure Roll - Complete]

[Kouji Sakuraba]

Kouji had finally found his Krookodile partner; who had decided to take a nap while digging a few tunnels underground after unsuccessfully finding something shiny that his master would want to take home. Now that the two had settled down back at the “campsite” and were now chowing down on their packed lunches respectively—a few sandwiches for the human and a rather large bowl of PokeTreats for the Desert Croc—he looked up and saw that his Krookodile had stopped eating. “Hm? What’s the matter?” he asked, looking at him with this concerned stare on his face. The Desert Croc shook his head and then returned to the meal—the pain in its snout had passed and was feeling just fine now. They then finished up the meal that he’d unpacked, and once he’d put everything away, they got back to work.

“Go down a different route now, Hie. If I whistle sharply, come topside, that means I found something, okay?” he said, giving the Krookodile an affectionate pat on the nose; before watching him take a running start in the opposite direction before diving into the ground, using Dig in order to be able to get started. He, on the other hand, picked up the shovel and decided to try the land adjacent to the tent—it didn’t look too disturbed. He then figured out a plan—if he didn’t find anything, he’d go to the land behind the tent and look there; and so on and so forth. The sound of metal hitting the dirt then echoed around the vicinity, and he was using his foot in order to shove in the metal head of the shovel—because for some reason the ground in this spot was extremely packed and it was hard to get a decent hole digging.

[Kouji Sakuraba]

He was wondering as to why the ground was unusually packed tight at the area where he was digging, just adjacent to the tent. He knew that if his Krookodile had found something, he’d be standing over him, casting his shadow right n his path. But since this didn’t happen, he continued to dig around the area, using his foot in order to give the shovel some extra “depth” whenever he tried to force it right into the solidly-packed dirt. “What made the dirt so hard-pressed over here…” he muttered to himself, realizing that he had to resort to sticking his foot onto the flat end of the shovel in order to be able to drive the pointed end into the dirt every single time he displaced a shovelful of dirt from this particular location. Deep underground, the Krookodile had now resorted to digging with its tail and its hands (even if they were short) and kept tunneling; not realizing that the place he’d started searching in was relatively close to where his master was digging.

After a few moments of silence, the Krookodile then caught sight… of something. It glinted and sparkled, catching his attention—now surely this was something that was worth bringing back topside! He then got to work, quickly (yet carefully) digging around the place where the shining “thing” was stuck in, and finally managed to wedge out a chunk of dirt, with the glittering thing still stuck inside. Seeing that it was still there, he then picked it up with his snout and then made his way as fast as he could manage to the surface; and soon found his own master bent over, trying to catch his breath. Kouji, on the other hand, was trying to calm himself down—when he felt that the heat of the sun was no longer shining down on him. He knew that his assistant had found something, and then the Krookodile spat out the clod of dirt he’d found. Wondering just why he was staring at something like this, he was about to ask Hiekka to go back underground—when the light of the sun sparkled on the surface of the glittering thing; and he got zapped right in the eyes.

“Ow! Dang… ooh, nice,” he murmured, quickly patting his Krookodile’s snout with a gentle touch as he then smacked the clod of dirt with the shovel; trying to break the glittering thing loose from the chunk of dirt. After a few bashing attempts, he then saw something… silverish, almost gray roll out… and for sure, it was something he definitely did not have. “Nice find, Hie. Very nice find!” he said, picking up steam and giving the Desert Croc a vigorous pat. “Now… we wait and see…” he trailed off with a grin on his face, returning to the campsite and quickly clearing out the area, before packing up and recalling the Krookodile back. “Very nice,” he said once more with a grin on his face, tossing the marble up and down as he made his way out of the Badlands.
