Niner's Stake, Home of the Miners you see everywhere...

[Shadow Slayer]

I walk into Niner's stake with a big smile on my face. Finally out of that cave, I run to the pokemon center to heal up and switch around a bit.

[Roxas]

After leaving the Pokemon Center, you decide to...

[Shadow Slayer]

Send out everyone. The pokemon I withdrew all have to evolve, so I watch all of them evolve into their next forms...Then I teach Cut to Parasect and Surf to Kingler and Floatzel...Then I go to Pokemon Center again to swap my teams around...

[Roxas]

Yuo are blinded by the six white evolution lights, but then you have 6 new Pokemon around you.

[Shadow Slayer]

After changing my team again, I teach Cut to my Torterra and Charizard. Then I decide to go to the gym, before exploring this area. I wanted to get my badge before finding the pokemon I wanted...

[Roxas]

You enter the gym...

[Shadow Slayer]

Leaving the gym with a frown on my face, I walked toward the pokemon center. I'd never challenge this gym again.

[alakazam1]

You enter the Pokemon Center...

[Shadow Slayer]

After having my team switched around, I sent out Rampardos and Starmie. I then teach Surf to Rampardos, and Calm Mind to Starmie. Then I headed for a crater and sent out Charizard to help me dig....

[pikafan]

You walk around town and see a crater next to the GYM. You and Charizard dig there, but nothing was found...

[Shadow Slayer]

After a failed attempt at digging in a crater, I decided to try the crater closest to the sign by the exit of the cave...

[alakazam1]

You explore the cave, but find there is nothing in this one either...

[Shadow Slayer]

(Are you sure? When I last checked, there was something down there...)
Sad by my failed attempt, I decided to go to the southern most house. I heard I could get something there.

[alakazam1]

[Yes, I'm sure]

You knock on the door of the house and a miner opens it. "Hello there! Why don't you come in?"

He opens the door wider and allows you to pass through. Inside, there were many trophies with pictures of Machamps and Hitmon- pokemon on them.

"Wow, that Charizard looks pretty tough," he says, while Charizard gives a small smirk in response (he could barely fit in the house). "Strength is a very important part of labor. As you can see by my many trophies, I have become a master of strength. But you also mental strength as well as physical strength in order to succeed."

He sat there for a second, as if contemplating something. Then he said very bluntly, "You should start working out." You turned your head a little, and he took this as a no. "Well, here, you can have this HM to help you start off."

He hands you the HM for Strength.

[Shadow Slayer]

I thank the man and even though I had actually been working out for the past couple of months, I didn't think I would start again on my journey.
After leaving, I sent out Rampardos, Bastoidon and Shiny Onix. Charizard was already out, so I didn't need to send him out. I took out the HM for Strength and taught it to all of them. Charizard and Rampardos wanted to learn that Focus Punch move that I had gotten from the gym battle, but I told them to hold off. When we got to Cinder Oasis, I would copy the TM a couple of times and then teach it them.
After I got that out of the way, I decided to check the furthest most crater to the right before looking for something I wanted to find.

[alakazam1]

After searching the crater for a while, you find something shiny hidden in the dirt. After digging for a little bit, you find that it is a nugget...

[Shadow Slayer]

After safely putting the nugget in my pocket, I decided to head to the crater near the sign to the ruins...

[alakazam1]

You find the crater after a long trek through the town. Search through it?

[Shadow Slayer]

"Well Charizard, shall we?" He nodded as we dug through the crater...

[alakazam1]

After digging for a while, you find a Moon Stone buried under a lot of dirt...
