"Cough, cough..." They pushed open the wooden door, which had not been opened in who knew how many years, and the dust that flew up sent them both into a coughing fit.
The cabin was not large, roughly sixty square meters. Despite years of abandonment, it had not collapsed; only a few sections of the walls let in drafts.
"Let me see... this looks like the bedroom. Is this... a window?"
Cheng Tian tried pushing the window and discovered that it actually opened upward and needed a short wooden stick to prop it up, a testament to the cabin owner's fine craftsmanship.
"I've checked. Only a few sections of the walls are damaged and letting in drafts. Everything else is intact," Su Han said happily. "Staying in a little cabin like this has its own charm."
"Great." Cheng Tian nodded, then went outside and let all his Pokémon out at once.
"Ahem, everyone, we've got work to do." Cheng Tian smiled. "Please use your abilities to help tidy this place up."
Gengar and Noibat took charge of dusting and ventilation, while Greninja went into the nearby woods to find timber of suitable sizes and thicknesses. Then the deft-handed Florges used it to patch up all the damaged walls.
Aggron and Milotic had a more important task. Aggron used Stone Edge some distance away, then swung its fists and smashed the sharp rocks apart one by one. Carrying the stones to the edge of the hot spring, it crouched down and began stacking them.

This move was actually the least practiced of all
