While Eryn didn’t see herself actively reaching for a fishing rod in the future, she didn’t mind the extra tool in her backpack even if it stuck out at an awkward angle no matter how she strapped it to her bag. Nevertheless, she had a broad grin on her face as she thanked Darryl, promising to call him when she passed through Fairsee in the far—or near—future.

The outer Infested Woods were, much to Eryn’s surprise, a beacon much brighter than Dei’s in the darkness. Gold lit the leaves and elevated them to ethereal status, reflecting off the puddles off the ground and turning them into pools of molten light that failed to lose their luster even after Eryn was close enough to identify the source of the glows.

[color=palevioletred]“Volbeats, right.”[/color] Eryn snapped her Pokedex close, tucking it away to return her hand to Tulu’s flank. [color=palevioletred]“There’s so many… Wonder if there’s an Illumise nearby?”[/color] Eryn paused, spotting the strange, cluster-like shapes the Volbeat streams were outlining in the sky. [color=palevioletred]“Huh, weird.”[/color]

A growl from Dei prompted Eryn out of her upwards stare, and she looked ahead to spot a few figures bathed in golden light. Trainers armed with nets and… couples and families. Here to enjoy the show, it seemed, and Erin couldn't blame them.

[color=palevioletred]“Well, wasn’t expecting a mob of Volbeats when I headed here,”[/color] Eryn said, waving at a net-armed trainer as she approached, Dei and Kylie in tow. [color=palevioletred]“Do you know what’s up with the formations? Why the shapes?”[/color] The bug-type enthusiast seemed as good a person as any to ask about the Volbeats’ strange behavior.

[color=palevioletred]“Also, are any of you planning on heading deeper into the woods? I was hoping to see whether the rumors I heard about ghosts in the woods had any merit,”[/color] Eryn explained with a grin. No harm in trying to get some more manpower when heading into the dark, she figured, and there was no better group of people to tag along with in the literal Infested Woods.

If the Bug Catchers aren’t planning on heading deeper into the forest, Eryn will head in directly. If the Bug Catchers are planning on heading in, Eryn will tag along, waiting for them if required. Should she be made to wait, Eryn will look around for some bug-types other than Volbeats to train on, having Dei Ember them and Kylie support with Growls in the back. If either of her Pokemon fall below 50% in health, she’ll heal at the hut before heading deeper into the woods.
