[@Remram] Earl frowned at Basil’s answer, looking like he was taking a moment to consider. [color=4c925e]‘… Metrics of my accomplishment as a trainer. Having more of them would make Marowak respect me more… is that what you’re saying?’[/color] Earl asked. [color=4c925e]‘I suppose it is worth a shot,’[/color] he concluded. Then they headed off to the Frozen Cave. [color=e04f4f]‘Mining…’[/color] Anise pondered, looking over. [color=e04f4f]‘It feels like that would be good for arm-strength. Yes, let’s do it!’[/color] she sounded modestly excited for it. [color=4c925e]‘…’[/color] Earl meanwhile looked at the mining people and didn’t look entirely as enthusiastic. Regardless, he followed along. They had to climb a couple ladders to get up to the largest building, where folks were gathered around, some socializing and having a good drink, otherwise just hanging around taking a break, or showing off what they most recently found. Regardless, behind the desk was a large amount of pickaxes, tools, and other things needed for mining. Walking up to the counter, they could find the man they needed to speak to. [color=84a35b]‘Ey, so you lot want to mine?’[/color] A large miner that looked in-charge asked them. [color=84a35b]‘We’ve got the equipment you’re gonna need right here. All these pickaxes, drills and saws… but we’re not letting young ones like yourselves use the heavy equipment. Fighting- or Fire-type Pokémon also help. There’s lots of goodies hidden in the ice. Anything you find is yours to keep, or you can sell it to us here in the Miner’s Shop. If you find a Pokémon, freeing it will cause it to come to life! Watch out, they’re usually pretty aggressive. Use the maps to figure out where you can dig. So, how about it? Want to have a taste of ice mining?’[/color] [color=4c925e]‘… I’m sorry, but as a herbalist I don’t think I am going to benefit from this…’[/color] Earl muttered. [color=84a35b]‘Herbalist, eh? That reminds me, something we find these really, really old plants in the ice…’[/color] [color=4c925e]‘…’[/color] Earl looked like he became around 20% more awake. [color=4c925e]‘You wouldn’t happen to document what you’ve unearthed… would you?’[/color] [color=84a35b]‘What kinda amateurs do you take us for!?’[/color] the miner asked, leaning down and grabbing a couple full binders from behind the desk, just to show them off. Earl immediately looked like he wanted to read them, and was definitely going to negotiate later. [color=e04f4f]‘Fighting-types,’[/color] Anise said, sounding pretty pleased with the fact one of the types said to be suited for this happened to be her speciality. She was spontaneously surrounded by her entire squad, minus Zigzagoon, all ready to grab pickaxes and get started. With that, they could find on the map where to go in order to start mining. They could get the necessary equipment, etc. Anise was definitely Some places were booked by other parties, some places were said to have more Pokémon, some places were said to have more items, and some were a bit of both. What were they after? Would they try mining something? [hider=Suggestions to actions]1. Find Pokémon. [i]Note, there are more Pokémon in the tunnels than here.
