Smoochum noted them waving in the reflection, and without turning she made a tiny salute and a wink before turning and running back into the Frozen Cave tunnels.

Erika was afterwards excavating the Inkay she found. Inkay was gently melted out of the ice, and then Erika could take it out and held the cold Pokémon, the not-water Pokémon slowly warming in her grasp.

[color=e6a8ae]‘… Nkay…?’[/color] It asked, looking up curiously as its eyes started working again, blinking and wiggling a little in Erika’s grasp.

As she was asking “you alright” a nearby miner noticed what she was doing, blinked a bit and raised his hand and voice towards her.

[color=green]‘Eh, you might want to be careful there. Recently excavated Pokémon have a tendency to-’[/color]

[color=e6a8ae]‘I-INKAY!’[/color] The Pokémon suddenly vanished in a flash, before a dark energy-beam (Foul Play) flew through Erika’s grasp, which actually was Inkay itself. The attack went in-between Erika’s arms and exited above her head, not actually hitting her but was quite close to doing so.

[color=green]‘-attack,’[/color] the miner finished with a grimace, a touch too late.

[color=e6a8ae]‘I-inkay-!’[/color] The panicked Pokémon was now drifting through the air above and behind Erika, eyeing her and Chic with wide eyes. If left to be long enough, it’d start setting up Reflect-barriers.

[hider=”No matter the result resume digging”? Okay.]Erika ignores the Pokémon and turns back the the ice-wall with the pickaxe. Inkay is thoroughly confused at being ignored and resolves to drift away and out of sight, resolving to find its own answers as to what happened to it and where it is.

After digging some, there is another item that seems to have a different shape than ordinary rocks. Is that a gem? … It IS a gem! A green gem! … Pale-green gem!

She’d probably feel the mining starting to take on her arms now, seeing how she isn’t used to mining. But she could probably continue for a bit longer, should she desire to.[/hider]

Meanwhile, Amelia has seen both these Pokémon before, one is the most common Pokémon in town, but for the sake of consistency.

[color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokédex Entry #194 – Wooper, the Water Fish Pokémon. It lives in cold water, sleeping on the bottom and seeking food by the shore when it's cold.
