[center][color=wheat][h3]Aedre Charbonnet[/h3][/color] — Mesalon Pokemon Center — [/center] [color=wheat]“Varying degrees of Flash?”[/color] Adrielle asked, observing the gym leader’s Cradily with interest. [color=wheat]“Well, it’s definitely possible in theory, but to think of that takes an amount of experience and creativity.”[/color] [i]Do I have that knack for Pokemon as well?[/i] Aedre wondered, eyes sliding towards her Togepi, who was continuing to struggle through the cave herself despite multiple indications from her trainer that Leisy would be more than happy to carry her. [i]I’d call my relationship with Little and Thea good, but with Dee, and with the Pokemon I may catch in the future…[/i] The shimmering glimmers embedded in the cave wall around the group was a stunning sight. Seeing Alex’s Beldum fetch him a stone spurred Aedre into action as well, plucking her Togepi off the ground and making for the wall. [color=wheat]“I’ll be over here!”[/color] Aedre informed the group as she jogged for the wall to her left. Upon arriving at the base of the multicolored cave wall, Aedre set down her Togepi gingerly and leaned down. [color=wheat]“Wanna fetch me one of those?”[/color] Aedre asked with a grin. Pasithea gave her trainer a snivelling glare before turning away and crossing her hands. The message was clear: she didn’t appreciate her trainer ferrying her around she was some sort of struggling, short-limbed Pokemon. [color=wheat]“Fine, I’ll get one myself,”[/color] Aedre said, sighing and patting her Togepi fondly before rising and retrieving her pickaxe from her pack. [color=wheat]“Let’s hope I don’t shatter the stone before I start.”[/color] The first few tries, Aedre either missed her mark completely or was too soft to even make a dent in the rock face. Soon enough, however, she got the hang of things — control strength, aim carefully, and no smash glittering rock — and managed to pick away most of the gray-brown cave surface from the deep maroon blue stone that she suspected was a water stone. [color=wheat]“Alright,”[/color] she said, wiping a bead of forming sweat from her forehead. [color=wheat]“Got it.”[/color] Bending down, Aedre attempted to remove the stone from the cave wall, only to find that it was stuck. When she applied more force, a snap sounded, and the rock came away from the wall with one side clearly broken from the rest. [color=wheat]“Oh!”[/color] Aedre exclaimed, quickly bending down and pointing her headlight into the now-empty crevice. Inside was all purple-blue, a fist-sized chunk of water stone remaining. “To,” Thea said, approaching her trainer. [color=wheat]“Wanna look?”[/color] Aedre asked, bending down and lifting her Pokemon up so the Togepi could see the crystal as well. [color=wheat]“Well, I’ll be happy with the chunk I got. Digging that out — well, it’ll take way to long, and I don’t need everyone waiting on me.”[/color] Giving the stone in her hands a final glance, Aedre wondered whether breaking elemental stones caused them to lose their unique evolution-triggering attributes. She figured, however, that even if the water stone had been rendered useless, she’d still have a pretty stone on her hands, so into her pocket the stone went. [color=wheat]“Let’s keep moving then?”[/color] Aedre asked, hearing Alex’s question. While she couldn’t say for sure whether or not she would want to catch a Pokemon, Aedre still wanted to [i]see[/i] the Pokemon in their natural habitat. [i]What kinds of Pokemon make their home in the midst of elemental stones?[/i] she wondered, peering into the unilluminated darkness ahead.
