[h3][hr][color=#F95B6C]Eryn Montero[/color][/h3][hr][sup][i]Wet Caverns  ||  Day 5: Afternoon[/i][/sup][indent] [/indent]
Braith was always easy on the ears, Eryn found. His mention of dragons being proficient with electricity and martial arts sent her deep enough down a mental rabbit hole that she almost missed her cue to speak, but she recovered fast enough that the conversation, she hoped, had only an imperceptible hiccup. And, of course, his tips on how to get to the dragons were invaluable. Sure, she had just about mapped out the do’s and don’ts of the cavern, but having confirmation—having the guarantee of someone with experience, and perhaps firsthand experience—was more than she could ask for.

[color=#F95B6C]“You better!”[/color] she said when he brought up keeping her updated. [color=#F95B6C]“Good luck though. Hopefully the rematch will be easier, now that Lesley’s team isn’t a complete mystery. Though, I suppose, the element of surprise went both ways… But I’m sure that wouldn’t stop a seasoned trainer!”[/color]
 
With the phone call over, Eryn was off again, following the path Braith had outlined for her. The Zubats overhead were curiously tolerant of the noise this time around, and it just so happened that Peri was by far the loudest in her group.

[color=#F95B6C]“Do you figure they’re scared of Onix?”[/color] Eryn mused, scanning over the hordes of sleeping bats. [color=#F95B6C]“Or do they recognize the difference between the noise of Onix and normal wilds in this cave, as opposed to trainers and non-native Pokemon?”[/color]

Dei snorted, Kylie smiled, Peri grunted, Eri gave her an apologetic shrug, and Tula wiggled in her arms, prompting Eryn to lean down and nuzzle the hard-carapaced fish as they came up on the split into the deep path.

[color=#F95B6C]“Very dark indeed,”[/color] Eryn said, peering into the shadowy path up ahead. [color=#F95B6C]“Well, in terms of light, Dei’s something. But…”[/color]

She turned to the Nuzleaf on her team with a grin. [color=#F95B6C]“Hey Eri, what’s the best you got? Surely we’ve seen some pretty shiny Pokemon by now.”[/color]

Eri balked, eyes wide as he looked between Eryn and the rest of the team. Dei snorted again—pointedly even—and Eri stared at him for a second. Then, scrunching up his brows, he thought for a second before looking back at Eryn, excitement in his eyes.

Eryn nodded. [color=#F95B6C]“Let’s see it!”[/color] 

Eri’s Nuzleaf form darkened and wavered, then widened a bit. Yellow rings coalesced in the dark, and a pair of red eyes opened amongst the black.

[color=#F95B6C]“Oh, Umbreon!”[/color] Eryn jumped over, rubbing Eri’s head through his Umbreon disguise—something that was rather strange to do as the disguise was largely incorporeal. [color=#F95B6C]“Good job, you. Now, let’s see those lights!”[/color]

Following the path as outlined by Braith (deep path, following the river leftwards). I’ll leave it up to you as to whether Eri can actually light up as I believe the illusion is just visual and shouldn’t technically produce light, but hey.
