[h3][color=palevioletred]Eryn Montero[/color][/h3][hr][sup][i]Route 5 || Day 4: Evening || [@PlatinumSkink][/i][/sup][indent] [/indent] Eryn gaped up at the scene before her, eyes darting wildly between the moon and everything else in what seemed to be a perfectly large and roomy forest. Was this place underground, or had she just been led into the forest out back? [color=palevioletred]“Alright, well,”[/color] she said, fishing her Pokedex out around Tula and pointing it at the moon, then at the forest, [color=palevioletred]“well.”[/color] The Murkrow that’d crowed at her looked harmless, but everything else? Not so much. Nuzleaf, Houndoom, Arbok, and Sableye—there were a lot of dangerous Pokemon out and about in this cave, and most of them were way out of her team’s capabilities. Thankfully, they all seemed to be waiting for her to make the first move, and she did, stepping up to the sign and squinting at it. [color=palevioletred]“Alright, Tula. I’m going to have to return you so I can carry Dei around for light, okay?”[/color] she asked, patting Tula before retrieving the Magikarp’s ball from her belt. Tula disappeared into the red light with one final wriggle, and Eryn smiled, placing the Pokeball back on her belt and rubbing it. One day, she’d get Tula big enough to warrant a return based on size instead of hand space. [color=palevioletred]“Alright, Dei. Up you come.”[/color] Hoisting the indignant fire-type up, Eryn raised him towards the sign, the words clear against his burning tail. [color=palevioletred]“‘Trial of Fear,’ eh? Thankfully it doesn’t seem like we’ll be fighting all the nasty Pokes up ahead, but some of them, huh.”[/color] She paused, pulling Dei back to look at him with a frown. Then, glancing back at the woods, she cocked her head. [color=palevioletred]“Say, nocturnal Pokemon don’t do so hot with light, right?”[/color] She grinned. [color=palevioletred]“Dei, how long can you hold an Ember?”[/color] Raising Dei so that he was balanced on her head, Eryn turned around to face her other Pokemon, a big grin on her face. [color=palevioletred]“Stick close, alright? Don’t be afraid to dish out some moves if anything gets close, and get ready to run.”[/color] This ‘Trial of Fear’ was scary, sure, but compared to the Infested Forest? Where she could see no end, no beginning to the trees, where dangerous hazards lay at every corner and crossroad, and where the feeling of unease was so strong she could have sworn it was an effect of the forest itself? Compared to that, this forest was a piece of cake, and Eryn liked cake. [color=palevioletred]“Go on three, two, one!”[/color] On cue, Eryn sprinted directly ahead towards the forest, Dei belching his best Ember diagonally ahead of them to illuminate the path ahead. If there was one thing dark-types avoided, it was coming out of the shadows, and Eryn intended get through as much of the forest as she could before they caught onto that.

If anything gets close, Kylie will Fairy Wind them to blow them back. Eri’s in Eryn form so unless anything gets way too close, he won’t pull anything.
