She never was, but at least it seemed like they believed in her and that was enough to encourage her to really try. Anyway, they were all set and Erika felt optimistic as she set out with Chime. Though the nickname thankfully didn't last long because as soon as they were alone, Rosemary properly introduced herself. [color=6ecff6]"Nice to meet you, Rose."[/color] She waved back, smiling. That was nice. She couldn't shake the feeling of being such an outsider and apparently untrustworthy but at least one person trusted her enough. Well aside from all of them agreeing to her plan. Erika indulged Rose in conversation. Telling her all about Cooldome City and her aspirations of being a Champion because her mom tried to be one. She recounted her adventure so far, starting in Pureplain City. Traveling through the Wet Caverns and emerging out in Lakewatch Town. How she got chased around by dragons. Competed against the Trickster and his wind challenge. Challenged the gym leader in Stillwood and conquered with Chic evolving. Then her adventure in Mount Strength where she rallied the Fighting types to battle against some noble who wanted a Dawnstone like her. Then heading to Worldedge with her friends and all separating since. Then there was the Inventor that Erika talked about but by that time they had reached the borough they were looking for. Lovesick Lane. It seemed like a nice place but Erika could feel that same sense that the others told her about. Erika watched as one Purrloin approached someone snacking on a bun and nuzzling him, purring very loudly. He took his attention off of his bun for just a moment and the Purrloin snatched it and ran off with the man looking sad that his meal had left him. It seemed even the Pokemon adopted thievery mindset. Tough place. Finally though, the goggles revealed where they were headed. Dream World. Erika gave a friendly nod to the Drowsee but paused as she considered what Rose told her. [color=6ecff6]"So I don't think I'll be trying this place like that. You don't think I'll get sleepy in there, do you?"[/color] Erika frowned. Surely she wouldn't be put to sleep but then again, maybe. This whole city was a little bit shady. Rather than chance it, she drew a Pokeball. [color=6ecff6]"Tara."[/color] She announced, summoning her Swablu. Tara chirped with her headpiece which was the EXP Share. [color=0054a6]"Swaablu~"[/color] [color=6ecff6]"Uhh let me get that off of you first."[/color] Erika said, taking the EXP Share off and placing it in her bag for now. [color=6ecff6]"Now, Tara, just to be safe, Safeguard."[/color] Tara cast Safeguard, a shimmering barrier briefly appearing before vanishing around the forms of Erika, Tara, and Rose. [color=6ecff6]"That'll keep us safe from falling asleep. Not saying they would put us to sleep but maybe."[/color] Then Erika considered something. [color=6ecff6]"You can come with unless you'd rather head to the circus thing. I should be fine but I guess who knows what is in there."[/color] Erika was going in regardless. With Tara acting as a Safeguard, literally, to status conditions, she thought she might be safe enough.
