[color=palevioletred]“Good job, Peri! C’mon back!”[/color] Eryn yelled, recalling the Onix as she ran. On her head, Dei was belching Embers freely, lighting up the forest with every burst of flame. Though the plan had been to set fire to the forest, the Arbok on pursuit was Dei’s main target at the moment, and because of that Eryn focused on putting what distance she could between her team and the poison-type. 

Bursting out from the grey edges of Dei’s Smokescreen, Eryn dashed through the forest, still avoiding the Sableye around her, which were moths to Dei’s flame. Their eyes gleamed in the darkness, a starry background as Eryn ran ahead, then… nothing. The forest ended, and the Sableye’s attacks with it. Ahead, the moonlight revealed a rocky landscape speckled with floating rocks she could just make out over the top of the stone walls.

[color=palevioletred]“A maze?”[/color] Eryn asked, looking to her left and right. There didn’t seem to be anywhere else to go except in, and Eryn grinned. [color=palevioletred]“Alright, let’s see how fast we can solve a maze.”[/color] 

Jogging forwards, Eryn peeked out the first corner, then quickly retracted her head. There’d been something past the corner—something floating with glowing red eyes. Fetching her Pokedex, she poked its camera out past the edge, waiting as the Pokemon popped up on the screen. Lunatone. A pokemon literally shaped like a moon. Classy. 

Making another peek past the corner, Eryn saw that the Pokemon had moved, but not towards her. Rather, it was heading back down the aisle it’d come from. On the other hand, a second Lunatone was headed over from the left aisle, its eyes pointed straight ahead. It was almost as if they were coordinating their movements. Patrolling. They were patrolling the maze. 

[color=palevioletred]“Arceus, how many Pokemon does the Trial Master have?”[/color] Eryn muttered, hiding back behind the corner when the second Lunatone started turning. The first was already out of sight, and if she assumed that the Lunatone were heading in the same direction, the second would be heading back the way it came in a second or two.

[color=palevioletred]“Right, this is a stealth exercise. Gotta sneak past the Lunatone patrols,”[/color] Eryn said, looking behind her to where Kylie and Eri were, the latter still her doppelganger. The dots connected, and Eryn grinned. 

[color=palevioletred]“Hey, Eri, what do you say about some Lunatone spy games?”[/color] Eryn asked, grinning and waving herself over. The Zorua walked over with wary eyes, though he copied her grin perfectly. Together, the mismatched pieces clashed horribly, but Eryn figured that was intentional. Eri had spent too much time watching her to get such minor details wrong.

[color=palevioletred]“There, the Lunatone. Copy that and lead the way for us. Me peeking over every corner is gonna get us caught sometime, and I don’t think the Lunatone will suspect one of their own,”[/color] Eryn said, looking back down to scroll through her Pokedex. [color=palevioletred]“Nope, nothing about communicating with each other or anything. I think we’re good.”[/color] She paused, glancing at Kylie. [color=palevioletred]“Right, I think the fewer bodies we have for this, the better. I’m going to return you two, Kylie, Dei, and let you guys out when we get past this maze. Okay?”[/color]

Dei and Kylie nodded, Kylie’s smile curiously close to a smirk as she looked at Dei, who didn’t seem too pleased to be hearing that he was to be returned. Still, he took it like a champ, disappearing into his Pokeball in silence, thankfully. 

[color=palevioletred]“Right, Eri. Lead the way,”[/color] Eryn said, indicating the way ahead with a grin. Eri, now a Lunatone with glowing red eyes that were slightly less unsettling than the real deal, did, mimicking the Lunatone’s straight, streamline movements as they headed through the maze.

Having Eri lead the way through the maze as a Lunatone. Hopefully Lunatone aren’t too suspicious of their own.
