The other two were on-board with the idea of mining somewhere with both items and Pokémon. They headed out, got to climb with the equipment, and then wander past other miners to the icy wall that they’d marked as their own for the time being. With that, they were ready. Basil stood with one pickaxe, Earl had managed to struggle to bring one… and then Anise, Mienfoo, Meditite, Froakie and Riolu each held one each, with no problems at all. … Froakie with some struggle, perhaps.

[color=e04f4f]‘Alright, everyone! Let’s go!’[/color] Anise called, and her team went to work, and between them her team was outpacing them substantially. Basil found that the task was pretty easy. The ice was easy to dig into, and they were making enough progress in a short enough time to see something within the ice already. It was decently difficult to see into the ice where it was recently disturbed, so what was in the ice was hard to see until it was right in front of them.

There was already a small pile of items growing in front of Anise’s group. Looked like they’d found… a Hard Stone, Damp Rock, Lagging Tail, Icy Rock, King’s Rock, and a Water Stone. All items. 

[color=4c925e]‘Okay… let’s see… slowly…’[/color] Earl lifted his pickaxe, and he had his two Budews cheering for him. Meanwhile, Cleffa was happily waving her fingers… and just as Earl was about to swing, Cleffa suddenly launched into the ice as a spinning ball! Metronome had become [url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Steamroller_(move)]Steamroller[/url]!

Earl staggered back, as cracks formed all over the ice, and then a large section of it crashed into a million pieces as Cleffa bounced back. A shadow within the destroyed ice started to move…

[color=606094]‘Careful! Wild Pokémon that come out of the ice are aggressive…!’[/color] called a nearby miner. Earl took another step back and reached for Elgyem’s Pokéball, preparing to deal with whatever Cleffa might have unleashed, when the dark shadow of the Pokémon jumped towards him…!

[hider=and then]… and then uselessly dropped splashing about on the ground in front of him. Earl was left staring down at the helpless creature.

[color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #129 – Magikarp, the Fish Pokémon. While known for being extremely weak and washed away by even the weakest current, Magikarp can survive even in the most polluted of water. They’re incredibly fertile and have spread to waters all around the world. They jump fairly high, and older Magikarps are known to brave mountains with these jumps, seeking evolution.[/i][/color][/center]

[color=4c925e]‘I… I don’t want a Magikarp,’[/color] Earl mumbled as he stared down at the splashing creature. He looked around for a second, then sighed. [color=4c925e]‘… But I suppose I can’t leave you here. You didn’t survive all this time frozen in ice just to meet your end here,’[/color] Earl said, reluctantly retrieving a Pokéball.[/hider]

Meanwhile, regardless of if he was paying attention to what was going on with his companions, Basil got closer and closer to being able to un-ice his first find. And… it was a Pokémon. He had the fortune of seeing what it was before the ice cracked, just on the other side. It was a fish. An ancient fish, frozen in ice.

[color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #369 – Relicanth, the Longevity Pokémon. It has existed for a hundred million years without ever changing its form. It feeds on microscopic organisms with its toothless mouth. Usually found deep underwater, its body is covered in tough scales that withstands the pressure of the ocean depths. It can walk on the seafloor with its pectoral fins.[/i][/color][/center][/hider]

What does Basil do? He could free it from the ice, or he could try to find something else, or he could be done here entirely. What would he do?

[hider=Suggestions to actions]1. Find Pokémon. [i]Note, there are more Pokémon in the tunnels than here. Unless you’re specifically searching the ice?[/i]

4. Specify. [i]If you specify what you want to do, the GM will take it into account and tell the result.[/i]

6. Notable Buildings. [i]Not many, but there’s a small base here![/i]
	6.1. Miner’s Lodge. [i]For maps, getting info or tools and learning how to mine![/i]
	6.2. Miner’s Shop. [i]Skip all the hard work of actually mining and buy what the miners are selling! Varies every day![/i]
	6.3. Comfy Igloo. [i]If you just want to rest, have a chat, relax, restore health.[/i]
7. Area Specific: Mining. [i]People here mine the ice for items and Pokémon caught in the ice. You could too![/i][/hider]

[i]Connected areas: [/i]
Route 5. [i]Exit the mines and you’ll be right there.[/i]
