Erika admired the guide as she scanned the fold-out document noticing the various details. Indeed, the trip through Mt. Strength appeared like a pathway with many opportunities, much like how Erika found Gibs due to being in the right place at the right time. Although there was some dissenting opinion rattling around in Erika's head at the thought of catching a Flying type, the thoughts were displayed in favor of finding who knows what Pokemon in Mt. Strength. That, and well... Dawnstones.

The guide's tip concerning the rarity of Dawnstones was quite disappointing to hear. Raremine and the Desert Mines sounded like the place Erika had to head off to next in order to raise Sno into what was possibly her most favorite Pokemon from her childhood. Sadly, she was already committed to heading the opposite way, both with her original pact with Claire and her two new friends, Joshua and Ewan. Though the outlook wasn't entirely grim, especially with that tease about finding one in Mt. Strength. Erika had especially perked up after that considering carefully how best to come through there for a moment to maximize her chance to find one of those stones.

There was time later to think about best approaching that problem later, however, for right now, Erika felt she had to square up with her guide. One thousand Pokedollars for the map and even though the guide never asked specifically for payment on the tip, Erika gave the full five hundred, holding herself to the promise she made earlier.

[color=6ecff6]"This is perfect, thank you so much, Elana!"[/color] Erika beamed in gratitude for everything. [color=6ecff6]"I will be sure to call you."[/color] Erika had only let those words stew for a moment before quickly adding with a slight blush returning to her cheeks [color=6ecff6]"For guide help, sometime, I mean!"[/color] A nervous laughter left her lips thereafter as she went through the motions of digitally paying for Elana's service, deducting $1500 from her account, and then followed that with inputting Elana's number. Erika was already considering on asking Elana to help her through Mt. Strength, truthfully. She wanted to maximize her chances on finding a Dawnstone early and well, Elana left a bit of a charming first impression.

Erika tucked her guide document into her bag as well as her Pokedex. She also took the oppurtunity to readjust where her Pokemon and their Pokeballs were and slipped them onto her belt loop, making a slight quality of life adjustment.

Erika would wait for Joshua and Ewan to do accomplish anything they were looking to do in the Guide Service Building before asking them if there was anything else they wanted to do. In the course of accomplishing objectives, Erika wanted to swing by the item shop and make a few purchases to restock. In her mental list, she included buying 3 new Pokeballs and 5 potions in preparation of the next route.

Some time would be spent to grab something to eat but assuming there was nothing else, Erika would ask Joshua and Ewan if they were ready to set out. Erika would lead them to Route 5, ready to start the next leg in their adventure!
