Lys’ statement about always carrying rock climbing gear had Ella widen her eyes slightly. Sure there were trainers who packed more than less, but carrying such situational equipment everywhere was overkill in Ella’s eyes. Renting or, if that option wasn’t available, buying and selling to a trainer on the other side of the mountain was easy enough. There was a bit of a hassle with securing climbing gear in small towns, yes, and finding buyers in more remote locations took longer than she’d liked at times, but both of those annoyances were still better than lugging climbing gear everywhere. Plus, there was the matter of her poor backpack, which, despite all its stylishness, was never the hardiest specimen. Lugging climbing gear around would utterly wreck it, and she was far too attached to the upsides of its impracticality to give up on it now. 

That all said, she had to thank her lucky stars that she’d been trapped with someone as overprepared as Lys. Having someone like herself around might be easier on her mind, but it was times like these that reminded her how useful diverse personalities were. Even if her gut instinct was to dismiss most of the offered ideas in favor of just pushing ahead in hopes of finding an intact path somewhere along the tunnels, her head told her to think on the ideas anyway.

“Catching some wilds around here might actually be helpful,” Ella said, looking to Sydnee, then to the others. “Pokemon like Geodude or Sandshew might know the tunnels better than us, so we could ask them to point us in the right direction, or even to an exit. And, if we manage to catch something bigger, like an Onix, digging our way out might actually be a possibility.” 

She was getting a bit ahead of herself here, but she was pretty confident in the ideas. Still, to reel herself back a bit… 

“Completely agreed on the human ladder if things don’t work out though. PE wasn’t my strong suit in school, but if it’s to make sure Sydnee survives, I’ll do my best. Anything for the egg,” she joked, ending with a giggle.
