[h3][color=#F95B6C]Eryn Montero[/color][/h3][hr][sup][i]Lakewatch Town || Day 5: Noon || [@PlatinumSkink][/i][/sup][indent] [/indent] [color=#F95B6C]“Oaken?”[/color] Eryn’s eyes were wide as she spoke, but the next second she was grinning as she walked over to him. [color=#F95B6C]“I could ask you the same thing, but wow, this is some coincidence, huh?”[/color] She looked between the two directions he’d been muttering about, then back to him. [color=#F95B6C]“Don’t stop because of me though! Go ahead, do whatever you were about to do.”[/color] With the Pokedex in her other hand, she scanned the strange floating Pokemon, skimming their entry before looking back up at them. They were strong Pokemon, no doubt about that. Her Pokemon would have next to no chance against even one of them, much less against five. Thankfully, though, the challenge banned Pokemon, meaning there was likely another way to get past them. [color=#F95B6C]“Well, I know I’m not allowed to get my Pokemon to help me, but you’re not a Pokemon, so… how about it?”[/color] she asked, looking to Oaken. [color=#F95B6C]“Two brains [i]are[/i] better than one, and it’s not like whatever is down here didn’t want us to meet up. They probably could’ve gotten around that some way or another, with the amount of Claydol and Beheeyem floating around here.”[/color] It occurred to her around then that Wilhelm was also technically not a Pokemon, but it was a bit late for that. Plus, taking the chance for him to poke around the place at his own pace away from him wasn’t exactly fair, given that he was the one who’d led her here in the first place, so Oaken it was. As far as she was concerned, Oaken was irritable but smart, and Eryn could deal some prickliness if it meant a better chance at getting through this maze. She’d already had a close call with the Claydol a few minutes back, and she wasn’t interested in getting turned into Psychic Beam fodder. When it came to Oaken, though, she suspected that he was more concerned with her slowing him down than the other way around, which was somewhat fair. It didn’t [i]seem[/i] like time was of the essence, so she had been fully prepared to put progress off if something interesting came up. If he agreed to team up, she might have to be a little more on top of things, but she didn’t believe for a moment that she would slow him down. [color=#F95B6C]“Hm, have you tried talking to them?”[/color] she asked, pointing at the Beheeyem. Then, turning to the floating Pokemon, she waved, smiling. [color=#F95B6C]“Hey, sorry to bother you all, but is this path closed, or is there some way we could persuade you to let us through?”[/color] Sure, if they didn’t respond, she might end up looking like an idiot, but Eryn was of the opinion that it was better to ask than not. [i]Worst[/i] case scenario, she ended up looking like an idiot. Best case, well, best case was what she was hoping for.
