((She's taking too long. >:U))
Metis panted laboriously between dodging water puddles and, occasionally, the weak-willed attacks of other pokemon. She growled as she gained on the Sableye, only slowed by the sparkling circles of liquid on the cavern floors. After scaling another puddle, the sound of pawsteps behind her caught her attention. She risked a glance over her shoulder, her violet eyes only widening for a second. A green and yellow, four-legged pokemon and a stark white, bipedal were hot on her heels, and even though she kept the same pace, the Riolu had sprinted up beside her.
"Why you chasing this guy?" He asked, heaving as well.
"Why are we running?" The female Electrike inquired, a hint of fear in her voice, but almost unrecognizable. The fire-fox skittered beside a puddle, almost running into it, having been distracted.
"See the basket he's holding? It's mine!" She roared the last part, sending the Sableye face-planting, and the basket flying out of his clawed hands. She leapt forward, landing heavily on his back. The purple monster winced as she stepped off, smoke emanating from her maw. A vortex of fire shot out of her mouth and lit up the dim cave, sending a ring fire to surround the Sableye. It hit him square in the chest, knocking him back as the fire closed in on him. Metis panted, plopping to her haunches and looking exhausted.
