Sarah nodded as she also heard the Fearow, "Must have been Rapier, he was going after Fearow." 

She was glad Regan asked about Stairway Shelter, so they wouldn't have to leave right away. 
"No, it's a pretty shallow cave, if one can call it that at all. If you stand in front of it you can somewhat make out the shape of a stairway. I suppose it was more prominent in the past and that erosion played its part. But still, if you stand at the right distance, squint and turn your head sideways you can still see it. Old names of places don't die around here and it can be confusing to people not native to these islands when islanders give direction using landmark names that are hardly recognisable."

She smiled, "I'm very grateful you came along, I would have a serious problem with the flock of Spearow on my own, let alone that Fearow." Sarah opened her backpack and grabbed two small bottles of water and handed one to Regan. 
"We saw the Onix, registered as asked. We don't know where it went and it would be looking for a needle in a haystack again, I doubt we'll be lucky enough to stumble across it twice in one day." Her eyes started twinkling amused, "if you didn't scare Onix off with berating it like that."  

Sarah drank her water as all the running had made her extremely thirsty. "I'd like to go back, with that cave-in earlier I think it's best to let some of the lab take a look at tunnels first and look for more geological hazards, besides."

Sarah put her backpack on her back again and walked to Gira. "Everything alright here?" Gira nodded.
"We're going back, lead the way Gira and keep an eye on any wild pokemon ahead of us. We're taking the shortest way but we're going to avoid the forest. I really don't want to deal with a group of Spinarak as well."
