The rest of Erika's journey along Route 2 was uneventful as she caught the casual glance of other trainers battling along the way. It didn't take Erika long (at least she thought the journey was quick) to reach the entrance to the Wet Caverns. Although Erika had some reservations about charging forth into the cavern, she dispelled most of them shortly after arriving, as if the unimpressive entrance had left the impression the caverns were no big deal. In fact, Erika was ready to trek inside and honestly expected to navigate them quickly to get to Lakewatch Town. No preparation required.

As Erika approached two boys in order to step aside them and enter the cavern, she caught herself eavesdropping on their conversation, especially after the mention of [i]dangers[/i]. That word in itself was enough for Erika's hears to perk and she stopped, listening in on more of the conversation. Apparently, Erika was about to make a mistake if she went through there alone. She couldn't navigate a maze... And she didn't feel [i]that[/i] prepared after overhearing those boys talk... [color=6ecff6]"Ooh.."[/color] Erika sighed sadly, feeling her previously eager heart drop a little in her chest. Discouraged, she considered turning back and maybe making preparations of her own but... she knew those boys.. right? At least they looked familiar...

[color=6ecff6]"Hey! Wait!"[/color] Erika called to Ewan just as he was entered the mouth of the cave. There were so many questions on Erika's mind but she just wanted to get to the other side to Lakewatch now. Assuming Ewan and/or Joshua didn't just run away at the sight of her, [color=6ecff6]"Don't I know you two from somewhere? .. Aren't you two..[/color] Erika paused and cupped her chin as she muttered a question to herself, [color=6ecff6][i]what's his name...[/i][/color], only to snap her finger and point at Ewan. [color=6ecff6]"Jacques students right?!"[/color] Unfortunately she didn't remember their names in particular but it was enough to hopefully state that they knew each other.

Erika would introduce herself and ask the boys for their names properly after that, of course, but she had some very pressing questions and possibly a request. Erika would ask a few questions about the Wet Caverns, asking the two (assuming the eager Joshua came back) mainly about what they expected from the caverns and their preparations made before finally submitting her request. [color=6ecff6]"Um.. Would it be okay if I tagged along, just until we get to Lakewatch Town? I just want to get to the Pokemon Center and check out the town. Plus I'm trying to meet up with a friend on the other side."[/color] Erika tried not to sound too pleading. She didn't exactly want to double back to Pureplain City, but maybe that was part of being a Pokemon Trainer. Preparing for the road ahead so you can handle it yourself. After all, she was [i]technically[/i] asking her indirect rivals for help.
