Erika held her breath again as she watched the Pokeball shake once, twice... thrice. [i]Click[/i] [color=6ecff6]"Whew..."[/color] Erika sighed as she allowed herself to gently fall back onto her butt, sitting for a moment now that one of the more intense encounters she had was over. Inkay was very close to hitting Erika with some type of an attack and more importantly, her teammate, Chic, was really hurt from that encounter. Erika glanced over and found Chic looking back already, as if expecting another command but Erika knew what she had to do. [color=6ecff6]"Oh Chic, girl, you did great! Come here!"[/color] Erika patted on her lap and much to Chic's delight, she came hurrying over. [color=ed1c24]"Torchic!"[/color] She exclaimed as she found a spot on Erika's lap and nestled up to Erika's torso.

As the two of them took a moment, Erika heard the miner from earlier speak. Cooling down now, she couldn't [i]really[/i] blame any of the miners for not warning her earlier. She should have been careful. [color=6ecff6]"Thanks but I couldn't have done it without this Chic-ity here!"[/color] Erika replied, scratching Chic's warm feathers for a moment. [color=6ecff6]"I should have been careful, too. It is, after all, a wild Pokemon."[/color]

Erika allowed the two of them a few more minutes to take a break and while idly scratching Chic's feathers, she wondered about Inkay. She had never honestly seen one before and really had no idea about the Pokemon. Maybe once she finishes here, she should give the Professor a call to ask about her team? It might help. Also for potential pointers? Maybe.

[color=6ecff6]"Alright, Chic, you okay if we continue with a bit more mining? We will take a nice long, deserved back after. Promise."[/color] Chic, encouraged but tired, nodded and was ready to continue.

So they continued. Erika chiseled away with a pickax as Chic used Ember. Eventually they found a green gem, which Erika wasn't sure what it was but it looked nice. She planned on getting it appraised later. However she still wasn't done, finding the strength to carry on and continue mining.
