Erika made a mental note that Joshua did have the right idea when he caught one of the Zubats, thinking that she could also use a Flying type for her team... But Zubats were almost just as creepy as a Bug, and the thought of one made her shiver.. or maybe that was the water. Speaking of which, when they had scared the Zubats away and convinced them to leave the party alone, Erika bent down and picked up Sno to lift her companion out of the water. It took Erika a bit of exertion to heave the roughly thirty-five pound Pokemon up [color=6ecff6]"The water is pretty deep here, huh, bud."[/color] Seeing as Sno was barely tall enough to keep her head out of the water. Sno looked around a bit hesitantly as she was lifted up into her owner's arms, unsure of what was happening. Erika shuffled her hands to carry Sno in a slightly more favorable position. [color=6ecff6]"You did good though!"[/color] Sno gleamed with satsifaction from her Erika's praise. [color=6ecff6]"Sno-Runt!"[/color] Offering a cheer for a job well done. In hindsight, it was a bit silly to subconsciously replicate what Joshua did with his Pokemon but Erika didn't notice as she set Sno down. [color=6ecff6][i]"Whew..."[/i][/color] Erika breathed, hoping that the water wouldn't get too much deeper as Sno would be quite tough to carry the whole way! At the mention of carrying, it couldn't have been more convenient timing as Joshua piped in. Erika shot a glare, squinting her eyes at her travel companion, exaggerating the expression to appear more light-hearted about it. [color=6ecff6]"Yea, Joshua, listen to your friend. You couldn't carry me! But you could carry Sno for me! I'm sure she'd love that..."[/color] Erika gave her Pokemon a wink as it glanced back. [color=6ecff6]"...Anyway. How are we-uh.."[/color] Erika began her inquiry to ask how their progress was before a new voice chimed in from behind them. Erika turned and saw three people charging forward. Erika instinctively moved to brace against the wall to let them pass, pulling Sno along narrowly avoiding the storming group. Erika wanted to call them out on it, but shyly avoided the confrontation instead, focusing on what their mission could be. [color=6ecff6]"They aren't heading towards the exit?"[/color] Erika asked rhetorically. She glanced at Ewan before turning her gaze down the dry tunnel. [color=6ecff6]"I kind of want to see where they are going..."[/color]
