Ewan was right in that level of ability was far beyond her at the moment. Still though, she felt a draw to Bigfjord for some reason. Like there was something to unwrap there still yet for her. [color=6ecff6]"You know a lot about Bigfjord City, Ewan."[/color] She'd remark off-handedly without any real thought but was subconsciously latching onto that drive that Ewan wanted to see the city. [color=6ecff6]"Oh well, I'm sure it'll be interesting to see just what Bigfjord has for us!"[/color] Erika beamed as she thought about getting to visit another city. Everywhere up to this point had built-in infrastructure for traveling trainers so what about a place like Bigfjord? Massive spires of glass and metal sprouted along the horizon as the trio approached. There was a slight twinkle of city lights from the skyscraper lights that were on, dotting the spires with much needed color. To Erika, it seemed inviting at a distance as she spent her life in the mountains so much like Worldedge City, this would be new to her. Yet as she approached, the sky continued on in a perpetual dusk and those spires, along with the outliers were looked uninviting with their hard, practical exteriors. Perimeter warehouses were the first of Bigfjord to introduce itself, bordering the edge of the city to avoid traffic and dispatch to other parts of Isson with their product as fast possible. Streetlights lit their way along the paved roads as trucks roared past, machinery operating as people busied themselves the darkened landscape. It should have been noisy, but Erika often found the noise distant leaving her and friends almost alone, isolated among the greys, browns, and dark washed colors of industry. The only inviting colors coming from the trio and their Pokemon, if they had any out like Erika had Sno out. [color=6ecff6]"It is a little..."[/color] Erika caught a group of Murkrow settling on a nearby powerline, calling out to each other. [color=6ecff6]"...Dark here."[/color] She reached out to grab at Sno but her hands passed through, forgetting entirely that she was a Ghost type. Sno looked down at herself then realized what Erika had wanted so she hovered in close to her trainer. Erika didn't think she was scared, but she might have been. Sno, as a ghost, lived on scary so she didn't mind the environment. Warehouses were soon traded for apartment buildings and commercial stores. The colors were a little more inviting, likely had to be with so many people living here, but it still felt like a far cry every other town. They passed some stores, Erika glancing at each one to see how... mundane they were. Groceries, food, gadgets... all for people just living lives as if there were not Pokemon. It felt strange. Then Ewan explained Bigfjord City a bit with Joshua following up. Erika believed a little more in Ewan's practical explanation than Joshua's optimistic take, but she still appreciated the cheer of it. Right as she opened her mouth, however, there was a crash of glass turning all three to face the noise. [color=6ecff6]"A robbery?"[/color] Erika pondered the very idea of it innocently. That concept seemed foreign to her but she wasn't entirely naive about the whole idea of it. People stole things, it just never seemed to happen. Especially using Pokemon as a force against people! She shot a glance to Joshua before Ewan rushing towards the robbers caught her attention. Her fists clenched nervously but immediately she knew she couldn't let one of her friends rush off on his own. [color=6ecff6]"We can't just leave him, Joshua."[/color] Erika took a step forward, freezing as movement in the corner of her eye turned her attention to it. She saw the Noctowl watching, sparing it a momentary glance but wouldn't be persuaded to not help even if she was unnerved about the whole thing. [color=6ecff6]"Sno, you're up!"[/color] Erika hollered as she ran forward. [color=6ecff6]"Icy Wind the Koffing and Chimeco!"[/color] Sno zipped across the air causing an icy wind to whip up and blow right at the lookout and her two Pokemon. Since Icy Wind affected adjacent Pokemon, it should hit both Erika thought. Plus the high chance at speed down will only help Sno stay faster than the other two. Erika wanted to call it out that she had the lookout but she got nervous and kept her mouth shut. She wasn't some action hero even if she might have thought that before committing like this!
