[color=gray]“Congrats on the Budew!”[/color] Leisy said, grinning at Florence. [color=gray]“This makes a grand total of two, right? Both grass types too — I wouldn’t be surprised if they turned out to be best friends.”[/color]

Pursing her lips briefly in thought, Leisy nodded. [color=gray]“Sounds like a good idea,”[/color] she said to Florence. [color=gray]“Cutiefly seem rather timid overall, and they’d be pretty agitated after getting chased around by unknown humans. Seeing another of their kind might tell them that we’re friendly.”[/color]

When Ella sent out Jumbles, Leisy watched in interest as the psychic-type swivelled around in its place, seemingly looking at nothing. [i]I guess that — being psychic — it can probably detect some interesting things,[/i] she thought as the white-capped Pokemon’s tentacles drifted around in midair like ribbons in water. [i]As much as I’d like one, they seem rather hard to train…[/i]

[color=gray]“Find anything?”[/color] she asked quietly, not wanting to interrupt the Inkay but also not content with just standing idly.

Gritting his teeth, Marvin called his Drilbur back, not pleased to have been forced out of the battle but acknowledging the futility of throwing his Pokemon against a clearly superior wild. “Be careful! It’s pretty strong!” he called to the other trainer. Shanae nodded, grinning.

[color=indianred]“You got it, Marvin. Endy, Oti, we start off with some water-type attacks!”[/color] Shanae called to her Pokemon. The Lapras and Lombre made eye contact with each other, immediately deciding to form a temporary truce-alliance against the feral ground-type.

The Sandslash — unimpressed with its previous opponents — stepped up to the challenge with a haughty flourish of its claws, only to be rebuffed by a combined stream of Water Gun supported by Bubble. The water seeped through the spaces in its stone armor, wetting and softening them so that they dragged the ground-type down rather than helping it stay up. Realizing that the situation was dire, it launched into a Rapid Spin, shaking off water and deflecting incoming liquid all at once as it flung itself towards the smaller of its two opponents: the Lombre.

[color=indianred]“Endy, knock it off its course!”[/color] Shanae shouted to her Lapras. The ice-type nodded, launching a powerful blast of water at the spinning Pokemon — a Water Pulse. More winded than hurt by the impact of water in midair, the ground-type wild landed on the floor with three limbs, supporting itself with an extra arm as it shook its head to clear the fuzz. 

Taking this chance, Shanae figured that it might be best to end this battle now. [color=indianred]“Why don’t we try that Bubblebeam of yours, Oti?”[/color] she asked. The grass-type understood his trainer’s question, stepping forwards and opening his mouth to let loose a strong stream of bubbles that collided against the wild Sandslash with sharp, loud pops. With a cry, the Sandslash turned and leaped into the air, diving down in a Dig. Silence followed, and Shanae figured that the wild had indeed made its getaway.

[color=indianred]“Good job, you two,”[/color] Shanae said, grinning as she ran over and patted her two Pokemon — her Lombre by leaning down and patting his back, and her Lapras by stretching up to reach the back of the neck rather than his shell. [color=indianred]“Get some rest — I might need your help again later.”[/color]

With that, she returned her Pokemon and walked over to Marvin, who had found a worm map of sorts in a display cabinet on the wall. [color=indianred]“Anything interesting?”[/color] she asked, looking at the map as well. Most of the coloring had faded into lighter shades, but the words were still legible.

“Not really,” Marvin said, frowning. “The basement is actually rather small, but that’s not suprising considering that this factory’s from way back when. It’s quite tall though, although I doubt that anything’s living up there,” he said, pointing his flashlight up without bothering to cover the beam. He froze, as did Shanae.

A pair of round eyes stared down at them from behind the edge of a balcony, unblinking as two small jets of flame burned right above them. Judging by the reddish fur and the size of the flames, the Pokemon was by no means small — fitting the bill of the wanted smelter.
