Shannon's ballooning anticipation finally burst, not unpleasantly. Relieved chuckling turned back into shallow gasps for a few seconds as he listened to Team Scarab's introduction. At least now he didn't have to worry about catching up. "How nice to make this meeting now," he nodded eagerly, counting up the names. Four, and himself, though the Skrelp and Reuniclus appeared to form a unit of their own. It seemed to him a neat example of teamwork, and when chance allowed he would ask about it. On other first impressions, he felt he could admire Hex Flutter's playing the leader. [i]'A new team, of presumably about your skill level.' Too soon to judge skills, but Miss Flutter seems to know what she's doing. Where did you learn? Ah, questions.[/i] The Goomy, finally, struck him as... Odd. Perhaps a touch too quick to action. He had outpaced his team by a fair bit. "With... Matt and Josh and Anthony, and Hex and Shannon too." Shannon did not stop thinking over his words. Maybe the Goomy was a joker? Another easy chuckle seemed appropriate, and he was certainly in the mood for it. "Alas, I'm not a girl. Our lady Flutter's still alone in that." Shannon winked.

That was, in his view, enough of introductions, though this had seemed a promising meeting. The Amaura's head turned easily around to examine the entrance. Entering the hill would be quite the steep climb down, from this view, anyway. On some day, he reasoned, the hill had simply cracked open at a downwards angle, exposing the caves true. He saw the sunlight from above glittering its way into the depths of the crevasse, the quartz sparkling with reflections even in the darkness. Crystal Chasm was well named. Shannon turned back. "I'll follow where you lead. I'm told your mission will engage with renegades. As Archibald instructs, with that I'm to assist." And then return for examination by Arnold, and assignment to a team. Shannon recalled Anthony welcoming him to Team Scarab. [i]I wonder if I can be assigned to an existing team like this one. I like these Pokemon thusfar.[/i]
