[h3][color=FF69B4]Piper the Skitty[/color][/h3][b][Altepa Desert][/b] [@Ninian] With her tail snugly over her breathing holes, Piper walked alongside her partner, coming to a halt as sounds of combat rang from ahead. [color=FF69B4]"Mmph!"[/color] She let out a muffled scream, the projectile whizzing over her head almost bringing her heart to a stop. Waiting for her partner's call, she anxiously remained by him, watching the fierce battle of wild Pokemon. His cry about a shelter filled her with hope and she glanced up at him before looking to the direction to which his wand was pointed. Her eyes widened at the sight of the steps which would most likely lead to a haven safe from the harsh flying sand. Unable to speak properly, she pointed her paw to the ruins then to the fight ensuing ahead, wondering if they should make a run for it or take care of the threats first.
