Moon -- Group Campfire[/right][/sub][/color] [hr] [color=9B59B3]“Well, I don't see any other choice.”[/color] Lys remarked as the group finished up what little food Lys could muster for now. The purple-haired girl thought about Sydnee’s worry about their egg, but this was the beginning of a life-or-death situation! Waiting around wasn’t going to help them. If they wanted to check their egg that was on them, but Lys wanted to at least get a closer look at things and given she had one of the best sources of light in her Pokémon, she felt pretty confident about that decision. [color=9B59B3]“You can stay at the campfire if you want. But I'm getting a look at this old tunnel.”[/color] Without letting Sydnee interject Lys walked forward quickly to where she saw the old path. At the base of the entrance was an old stand containing a map that was bolted in place to the right of the tunnel itself. It was broad-faced and reminded her of the many rest stops in-between Pallet Town and Viridian City. There was a faded “you are here” in place, though she wasn’t sure how long ago the map was printed. As far as she could tell nobody had used such an entrance in a long time given the long swatches of yellow tape and a sign bolted into the cavern wall that spelled out that the tunnels were unsafe and to proceed with caution. Sort of. They really told her to turn back but Lys personally read it as proceed with caution instead. She never did do well with rules. She quickly shuffled in her pocket, hastily retrieving her phone. No service, but full battery. She pushed her hand against the dust-covered map and swiped quickly to the left, kicking up a cloud of dust causing her Charmander to cough and groan its name in discontent. It didn't take her long to immediately utter “Cheese.” as her camera on her phone flashed to capture a clear picture of the map in case any data she had on the caves didn't match up. Why else would they put a physical map down? [color=9B59B3]“These tunnels go everywhere and nowhere, huh.”[/color] She commented, thinking aloud, before shaking her head. [color=9B59B3]“Wonder how deep they go... and where.”[/color] Mt. Moon was a big place to get lost in, but as far as she could tell with a few shortcuts around collapsed tunnels, it was doable to get back on track and on her way to Cerulean City.
