"Haha, very funny," Hunter shot back. "You sleep as long as he does!"

Tech finished loading up some expensive-looking sonar equipment into a backpack with the OAC logo on it. The logo is a simple, yet powerful design if you know what the OAC is all about. It's a dark profile of what we think Articuno looks like transposed on whatever equipment needs it. Tech looked up and calmly said, "Everything checks out. Let's roll, gentlemen."

We entered the cavern mouth. Day became night, and the wind rushing out of the depths chilled us even more than the frost did. Looking at the walls and the floor, I noticed several large fissures running along the surface. That made me nervous, but I knew we had to continue our journey into the abyss. Unconsciously, I held my breath with anticipation as we traveled further into the cavern, illuminated by only three average flashlights. Damn budget cuts. If an Articuno lives in these islands, we'll find it in this very tunnel, I told myself. I wanted all this to be over. Long, frigid days of being attacked by Seadras and Slowpokes wear on your mind. The Seafoam Islands are literally exploding with those pests. I couldn't wait to get out of here and back to the warm beaches of Aopulco.
