Erika replayed the steps Isaac had provided, trying to recount the order in her head to make sure she didn't forget. Once she was sure she got it, she tackled the negotation for her to rent equipment to start to mine, scoring a pickax and a helmet. Swapping her hat for a helmet, she slung her pickax over her shoulder. She stepped out and decided to let Chic out of her Pokeball. [color=6ecff6]"Hey there, Chic-a-dee! Wanna help me with little mining, girl?"[/color] Erika asked, crouching down to her Torchic. [color=ed1c24]"Tooor-Chic!"[/color] Chic responded, flapping her little wings. She must have appreciated coming out of her Pokeball and in an effort to please all her team, Erika planned to keep that in mind to let everyone a chance to breath.

Erika ruffled the feathers on top of Chic's head before proceeding on. Chic paced behind her, stopping to gaze at the miner's and their Pokemon working before either realizing she was falling behind or by Erika's call to keep up would have her scurrying forward to catch up. Erika, too, was stealing a few glances at the miner's to kind of figure out how they were working but also to catch a glimpse of the Pokemon they were using. Each new Pokemon Erika spotted had her briefly fantasize about that particular Pokemon on her team, wondering what it would be like.

When Erika spotted the Smoochum, eyeing itself in the mirror she stopped and took a scan, unsure of what it was exactly and encouraged by the fact that it looked wild. [color=6ecff6]"Smoochum, Ice and Psychic type, huh."[/color] Erika considered that information for a moment before eventually deciding to pass by, waving at the mirrored ice to the Smoochum. Chic, following behind, copied Erika's wave with her own ruffle of feathers and chirping a call as she carried on.

Finding a spot that was approximately right where Isaac had directed her, Erika began to get to work mining away at the ice. She asked Chic to help her out by using Ember on the ice to weaken it occasionally. Erika was quite surprised by the actual move of Ember as she Chic breathed a small breath of fire, rather than just showered small embers at the target. The heat from the fire and Erika's body warming up from the activity had her remove her jacket, removing a layer so that her pink shirt was now plainly visible. Stuffing her jacket in her bag, and placing it aside she continued work.

After a few boring rocks, they finally found something that was certainly unique. Frozen in the ice was something squidish. Erika didn't hazard a guess, however, and immediately retrieved her Pokedex, scanning the frozen Pokemon. [color=6ecff6]"Inkay, dark and psychic. Wow. That's a pretty unique typing, I think..."[/color] Again, Erika considered the cuddly-looking squid in the ice for a moment before she smiled and turned to Chic. [color=6ecff6]"Alright, Chic, think you can melt Inkay out of this? I think we are going to try for another team member here."[/color]

Chic fluttered and called as she let forth a few breaths of fire, melting the ice until it become very weak. At that point, Erika gently pried it apart and pulled Inkay out of the ice. Erika cradled Inkay, holding the cold and now wet Pokemon to her chest, to try and warm him/her up. [color=6ecff6]"Whew! I bet'cha are a bit cold, huh Inkay?"[/color] Erika asked as she glanced down, offering a warm smile to her potential teammate. [color=6ecff6]"You alright?"[/color] Erika asked as she set Inkay down at some point when she believed the Inkay was warm enough. Assuming they were, since Erika didn't know what a Pokemon coming out of a long freeze felt, Erika would crouch down and offer her invitation. [color=6ecff6]"Hey Inkay, how would you like to join my team? I'd love for you to be a part of it if you want to!"[/color]
