[/hider] [/hider] [/center] [color=8882be]"That's fine, my team can deal with Fighting-types."[/color] Talk about great timing with catching his new Hawlucha just before going into a place crawling with Fighting-types. It wouldn't be helpful if they had to go high up since the wild Pokemon would become stronger so hopefully the shrine was hidden around the lower levels. It definitely piqued his interest that there was that strange platform high in the mountains, but at the level he was it would be suicide so he'll settle for challenging that way further down the line in his career as a trainer. For now, he needed to think on what they needed to do. If they took the regular entrance to the mountain then they would have to traverse snaking tunnels with no certain way of knowing if they were going the right direction or they could try the entrance by Rainrock, but it's already a known dead end so as Anise said, they would have to find something that scientists had missed. [color=8882be]"Logically speaking, no matter how complex a path is someone should have accidentally stumbled upon the shrine by sheer luck unless they needed the mirror for something. The same thing could be said about the other entrance by Rainrock; if the mirror is the key."[/color] He said thinking aloud, but continued on. [color=8882be]"The safer first option would be to explore the entrance by the city first. If we're lucky, there will be some archaeologists that we can enlist the help of."[/color] That seemed like the more reasonable option. If there was nothing there then they would have to just go through the main entrance. He didn't know if Anise actually caught what he said since she was looking at his egg. [color=8882be]"Oh, um... You know Jacques of the Elite Four? His friend was selling Pokemon not native to Isson and gave me this egg from Galar. I just became a trainer so he gave me something he thought I could handle."[/color] Wait, it sounded like he was bragging. It really sounded like he was bragging. [color=8882be]"S-sorry. I really sound full of myself."[/color] Basil smiled sheepishly. The egg was getting close to hatching, but it wasn't there yet. Back into the bag it went for another day and he stood back up. It was time for them to get going to Rainrock.
