[color=bc8dbf]"Right then."[/color] Rachel said, now much more serious. After a quick assessment of her gear, Rachel led the group down further into the cave system [color=bc8dbf]"I wonder how far down it could be..."[/color] She said to herself as the group continued. It took several minutes to reach any indication of unnatural activity in the cave, though it seemed to be a simple marker with three strange figures on it. The first two symbols were in a language Rachel had never seen, while the last seemed to be a pokemon that Rachel had never seen. Bipedal with a large head that faintly looked like a fire? It was hard to tell without any sort of coloring on the sign, but this could possibly signify that the area was some kind of shrine to a pokemon that the inhabitants worshipped. 

With a few quick movements, Rachel sketched the sign and stood back up. They had to be close, the appearance of the occasional load bearing pillar now was proof of this. From this point on, the cave showed signs of human interference. A few Goletts watched from just outside of Cradily's light, clearly watching for the group to do something to show them as a threat. One or two Golurks were even within the mix. As a precautionary measure, Rachel let Armaldo and Gigalith out of their Pokeballs to help watch the rear and sides just in case. She wasn't going to risk the safety of the young trainers in her charge. 

Of course, she would also avoid harming the native Pokemon here. It was imperative that the group avoided a large scale battle in an area like this. This deep, the cave could easily collapse and trap them all.
