[h3][hr][color=#F95B6C]Eryn Montero[/color][/h3][hr][sup][i]Flooded Lakewatch: The Drain || Day 5: Afternoon || [@PlatinumSkink][@Gardevoiran][/i][/sup][indent] [/indent] Eryn watched in silent amazement as Azelf called a Beheeyem to it, realizing that it had to be tapping into the Beheeyem’s psychic powers. Confirming this was Vivia’s reaction, then Skylar’s and Oaken’s, whose outburst was surprising albeit expected. When Oaken crossed his arms and looked to her, Eryn realized it was her turn, and she redirected her attention to Azelf, eyes wide. The words came first, loud enough to block the rest of the world out but strangely unintrusive. If Eryn had to term it, she’d say it was calming; Azelf’s voice possessed a serene strength that helped communicate its power and knowledge, and it flowed into Eryn’s mind smoothly, its tone tranquil and reasonable. As it spoke, memories of the previous few days flashed through Eryn’s mind: when she’d met Dei in Kalmia’s lab, when she saw Kylie come out from behind a bush at the Trainer School, when Eri revealed his shapeshifting ability to her, when she reeled up Tula on her first attempt with a fishing rod, and when she saw Peri hatch in her arms. The images brought a warm feeling to her heart—a feeling of pride, accomplishment, and gratitude towards her team. Then an unfamiliar image filled her mind. A girl lay, eyes closed and suspended in a test tube, her blue hair spanning out behind her, giving her an ethereal aura. The room she was in, however, prevented any doubt from crossing Eryn’s mind that this situation was wrong. She was being held there, guarded and imprisoned against her will, all because she was… important. Powerful. A legendary. But how? The Azelf ended with a single question, which sounded more like a plea, an appeal to her better self. [i]Help us save her?[/i] And then the image faded, and she was back in the room, back with the other trainers and Azelf and Palkia, back with a sense of confusion and wonder, but this time with an added sense of responsibility. She’d started her trainer journey because she loved Pokemon, had continued it and recruited her team because she wanted to explore the world and see how far she could go, but that had all been about her. Now, she was asked to do something important—something that would affect more than just herself, and something that would allow her to return some of the good the world had shown her. [color=#F95B6C]“Yes!”[/color] she burst out. [color=#F95B6C]“Yes, I’ll help. Please. I-I don’t know how much I can do, but… ”[/color] She trailed off, glancing at the three trainers beside her, each of whom seemed as qualified as her, if not more. Doubts swirled in the back of her mind, a remnant of the thoughts placed there to test her before, perhaps, but she stood above them now. It could be argued that she was still young and inexperienced, that she still had a ways to go before she could confidently help legendaries in need, but Azelf had chosen her. It believed that she could help, and Eryn was willing to believe that too. She turned back to the Azelf, this time with resolution in her eyes. [color=#F95B6C]“I’ll do my best to help save that girl, and if that’s not good enough, I’ll get stronger and try again. You can count on me.”[/color] Here she was, day five of her Pokemon journey, promising a legendary that she could help do something even it could not do. In another world, she might have thought that foolhardy, but this was now, and Eryn wanted to help—as much as she could and more.
