Chompex attacks before Auroara was ready!
Chompex attacks with Tackle Bite!
</span></span>
Chompex jumps at Auroara before she can stand up! You can't help covering your eyes!
Suddenly you feel Ward grab your arm and when you open your eyes Ward is looking at you!
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">"Forget about them for now. They're giving us a good distraction. Let's find the pens."</span></span>
You stand up and Ward grabs your hand again! Even though you're expecting it, you can't help <span class="mu-r">your cheeks</span>turning red! Ward leads you and Lottatax past some human guards and into a stairwell that leads down.
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">"We can get to the staging area from here. The mon pens should be close to the arena floor."</span></span>
You and Ward walk down the stairs and peek through a door at the bottom and see a hallway with a doorway at the other end! A human man walks out of the doorway and down the hall and you close the door and peek out at him but he doesn't seem to notice you! After the human is gone you peek out into the hall again and then look at Ward and he nods his head and you both tip-toe out of the door and down the hall.
When you get to the end of the hallway you peek through the door and see a narrow room with one wall that's just made out of cage doors and bars and a balcony above another doorway at the far end! It looks like you found the mon pens!
Inside one of the small cages, you see Ramster sitting in the back of the cage playing a tiny harmonica with his eyes closed!
[SFX: blues harmonica]
"Ram-ram! Ram-ram!"
[SFX: harmonica continues]
"Ram-ram! Ram-ram!"
What? You didn't know Ramster could play the harmonica? He's really going! You almost don't want to stop him!
You peek into the cage and grin at Ramster!
"Hi, Ramster!"
Suddenly Ramster opens his eyes and looks up at you! Ramster can't believe it! He jumps up off the cage floor and runs toward the bars and reaches his paws out toward you and says "Ram-ram!"
Even though Ramster is straining as hard as he can, he can't fit between the bars!
"Tamounda!"
What? Tamounda is here too? You look down and see Tamounda underneath Ramster in one of the bigger cages on the floor and then crouch down in front of him!
"Hi, Tamounda!"
Tamounda sticks out his tongue and licks you through the bars!
Lottatax climbs up onto your shoulder and looks down at Tamounda and says "Lottatax?"
Tamounda looks up at Lottatax and then backs up away from the cage bars!
You glance over your shoulder at Lottatax and then look at Tamounda!
"This is Lottatax!"
Tamounda trots forward and says "Tamounda!" and then licks Lottatax through the bars! Lottatax can't believe it!
"Waddabeah!"
[SFX: double shell clap]
What? Waterbear and Clambreak are here too? When you stand back up you see Waterbear and Clambreak inside cages on the wall next to Ramster!
Suddenly, you hear a voice from the doorway!
"Oh, wow! It's really you!"
