Erika proceeded to the mining camp and had a brief discussion with several of the miners, who all seemed to be in a chipper mood. The advice she received was very helpful and thanking the person before moving onto the next, she eventually painted a little picture of how things worked. Unfortunately, it seemed like a Dawn Stone was going to be a tough find, judging by the advice of one. Still, Erika was not discouraged as she continued to talk with several other people before finding the miner's lodge. The miner explained the basics and could offer a fair bit of advice, maybe with that she might try mining on her own a bit? At the very least, it does promise to find interesting new Pokemon considering that they are apparently found in the ice. Who knows what she'd find?

Moving onto the shop, Erika was already prepared to not find a Dawn Stone but what she didn't expect was to be recognized. It had been awhile but Erika took a long stare at the man's face before it suddenly clicked. [color=6ecff6]"Oh! Isaac! Hi!"[/color] Erika excitedly greeted the family friend, slightly embarrassed at how long it took her to recognize the man. Her mother's favorite thing was to tell and exchange stories in Cooldome City, recounting epic tales and the like with different people. Isaac was one of those although his stories were more about the Frozen Cavern but they were still interesting. It added a mystique to the Frozen Cavern that Erika had hoped one day to see. Of course now she had the chance.

[color=6ecff6]"Yes! I'm finally following my mother's footsteps but I still have a ways to go!"[/color] Erika replied a bit bashfully as the man spoke. Then Erika felt quite disarmed by his offer to pick anything in the store. [color=6ecff6]"[i]Aww[/i] Isaac that's really nice of you! Thank you!"[/color] Erika felt thrilled about the prospect of a gift and that was twice now that she felt like she owed people something. She'd have to find a way to at least show her appreciate sometime. 

Taking a glance down at the items, she hadn't considered any of these things before and even admittingly, had no idea what some of this stuff did. There was an eventual decision to pick a fossil, seeing as Erika's quest for a Dawn Stone might eventually lead her to Raremine Town. She hoped she'd be able to find a stone before that but who knows. Considering each fossil, Erika had really no idea what extinct Pokemon was stored within which made the planning part of this rather difficult. So she just ended up playing a game in her head to eventually choose the Jaw Fossil. [color=6ecff6]"Uhh.. I guess I will choose this one. Thank you so much, Isaac!"[/color] Erika thanked him again before considering her own curiosity. 

[color=6ecff6]"So umm.. Isaac. I think I'm going to try mining because I'm trying to find a Dawn Stone so I can evolve my Snorunt into a Froslass. However, I really don't know where to look. Is there anywhere in particular I should search you think?"[/color] Erika would ask and thank him for advice no matter how he responded before leaving. 

Considering all the advice she had at this point, she figured it was time to out mining and returned to the Miner's Lodge to investigate the possibility of her mining somewhere. She'd consider Isaac's advice above all the other advice she received and get the appropriate tools and map before setting off to wherever she might try her luck.
