The chase felt close so much so that Erika dove into a different length of tunnel. When the dust settled, Erika was relieved she wasn't going to get squished or, you know, minced by a giant drill. She picked herself up, waving a hand across her outfit, dusting herself off. She was a bit miffed but relieved that she and her friends were okay after that excitement. Tara even landed on her shoulder with a chattering of concern muttered, [color=00aeef]"Swaa~"[/color]. Erika stroked the top of Tara's head as everyone came together.

It appears their well-being was quite the concern to the people who nearly ran all of them over. Erika frowned, quietly watching on as she considered the information before her. Elana and Ewan looked tense, but Joshua might have been in the same mind as her. Accidents happen, but it still would have been better for these people to apologize.

Wait? What's that machine for? Erika tried to decipher the information coming at her. A Kirlia... looking for something with only one in the whole mountain... !!!

He was going for her Dawn Stone! Gallade was a Pokemon she was very familiar with as her mother had one. It was only a small part she wanted a Pokemon that evolved via a Dawn Stone to emulate her mother a little. This twerp was going to try and take that stone. Erika was prepared to protest but something a little more pressing came to light. [color=6ecff6]"Oh."[/color] Erika muttered as she realized why Elana was concerned about that big hole. Erika didn't know anything about Pokemon ecology, but it certainly sounded bad. The question was, could they find a way to seal it? They'd need a strong Pokemon... or many.

Returning Tara to her Pokeball and strapped it into her belt tightly. Elana was already running off, but there was another problem. That drill was going to come back. Erika turned to Ewan and Joshua who remained and finding quite a bit of authority she started planning. [color=6ecff6]"Even if she seals the tunnel somehow, that drill is going to come back and make another hole. Ewan, please go with Elana and see what you can do to help. We will return. Joshua."[/color] Erika turned to him and gave a slight smirk. [color=6ecff6]"You and I are going to get an army of help. Follow me."[/color]

With that Erika began to run off, her map out in her hand just in case. She needed to get to the higher levels. Joshua felt like the natural pick as he was a little more enthusiastic, which would definitely entice a bunch of bored looking Machokes and the like if the two of them can really sell the potential for a challenge.

[color=6ecff6]"You and I are going to round up all the high level Pokemon we can and lead them back to the tunnel. We can seal that hole and stop that drill for good, too."[/color] Erika kept her face hidden, hiding the tense scowl on her face. She had her mother's wrath the moment someone pushed one too many buttons. That twerp will realize that soon.
