[h3][color=#F95B6C]Eryn Montero[/color][/h3][hr][sup][i]Lakewatch Town || Day 5: Noon || [@PlatinumSkink][/i][/sup][indent] [/indent] With Wilhelm and Quagsire occupied, Eryn was left on her own, Tula’s Pokeball in hand as she looked around the room again. Zeroing in on the passing Claydol, she grinned, trailing after it through the ruins. It was a bit difficult to move over wires and pipes as fast as a floating Pokemon, but she did her best, ducking behind pillars and pipes every time the Claydol paused. Being cautious never hurt, especially given that her current situation involved floating, laser-eyed constructs and a bunch of gut feelings based off nothing. Her caution paid off when the Claydol turned around in the room ahead, the shifting of its arms alerting Eryn as to its movements. A peek around the corner showed that the Claydol was pointing its arms in her general direction, which was alarming enough to prompt her to hightail it back the way she came. Back down the corridor she ran, stopping only when she spotted Wilhelm and the Quagsire. [color=#F95B6C]“Went the wrong way there,”[/color] she said, flashing them an awkward smile when they looked up. Then, looking around again, she figured she’d keep going straight, given that the other intersection turned not far ahead. Whatever it was that had brought her here was still present in a vague sensation that urged her on. However, there was a new feeling—one that wasn’t so friendly. The second wanted her out, away from whatever lay ahead, but this wasn’t the first time Eryn had felt ominous feelings, and she figured it wouldn’t be the last. [color=#F95B6C]“Let’s see what you’re hiding down here,”[/color] she said, grinning as she jogged down the corridor directly across from the one she’d exited. [hr] Back on land, Eryn’s Pokemon were occupying themselves best they could. Dei and Eri had again broken off to start chatting with each other, Dei nodding and listening intensely as Eri spoke, his Nuzleaf form allowing him to experiment with some basic hand language. Beside them was Peri, who’d chosen to face the other way to blatantly express her discontent with the entire situation. Their trainer had gone off without them, and as much as she liked the fact that she wasn’t stuck back into a Pokeball, it irritated her to think that the human hadn’t thought it necessary to bring her along. Since when was a Magikarp more useful than an Onix? Plus, there was the fact that she was now being regarded by a very nosy, persistent, and, dare she think it, annoying Mawile that was her other teammate. Kylie was the Mawile’s name, and she didn’t take hints as easily as Dei and Eri did. The lackadaisical smile on her face never left, even when Peri turned to fix the much smaller Pokemon with a glare, and Peri didn’t like it one bit. Just when Peri had just about made up her mind on whether or not to ‘accidently’ smack the Mawile with her tail, she heard footsteps in the distance, and she uncoiled, rising to her full height as a human in a swimsuit walked over. Though Peri didn’t recognize the human, Dei and Eri did, and they filled her and Kylie in on the details. It was a bit unsettling to think that so many people had witnessed her hatching without her even knowing, but she supposed it didn’t matter much in the long run. What interested her more was the trainer’s apparent strength, which both Eri and Dei confirmed in unison. The human pointed at her at one point, prompting a grinding sniff on her part. It was hard to see the girl as strong when she had no Pokemon around her, but since even Dei had confirmed it, she figured it had to be true. Curiously, it seemed that Kylie was no longer interested in bothering her now that the girl had arrived. She’d placed Kylie as a bit shallow-minded, but Kylie’s gaze at the moment was anything but—until the Mawile caught her looking and lit up with that irritating smile again, skipping to her side to continue asking whether Peri could give her a ride or something of the sort. The arrival of two more trainers prompted another explanation from Dei, which rubbed Peri the wrong way. She got that Dei was Eryn’s starter and was technically the most ‘senior’ member of the team and all, but the day she acknowledged the Charmander’s superiority would be the day she acknowledged that he was stronger than her, and frankly that’d never happen. Instead, she focused on the pack of Pokemon that’d arrived, all of whom were, as she noted with pleasure, much smaller and weaker-looking than herself. The only exception was the one leafy-covered Pokemon, but even that one was smaller than her, so Peri didn’t pay it much mind. Her attention was snapped up, rather, by the tentacled Pokemon the first trainer called out, which, unlike the others, did look strong despite being smaller than her. Soon enough, though, the horde of little Pokemon were returned and the trainers dove into the water, presumably to where Eryn had gone, and Kylie was back to bothering her again. So, settling down at the water’s edge, she coiled up, peering into the murk with a frown.

Eryn’s heading straight left down the corridor across from the one she just exited. Hopefully the Claydol didn’t see her peeking out from behind the corner/pillar there.
