Amelia giggled as the Digletts gave off happy cries, apparently pleased with the praise they received. It didn't take long for the Sableye to try and grab her attention, pointing to her bag for more gems. Figuring it couldn't hurt, he dug around before handing her on of the three dragon gems she had. With their deal done, the little Gremlin entered one of her pokeballs, shaking three time before clicking to confirm the capture. Within seconds though, the ball lit up before disappearing from sight, having gone to Kalmia's lab. Amelia could only hope that Sableye would like it there.

Her mission done, she returned her pokemon to their pokeballs before turning once again to the Digletts and Geodudes.
"Thank you all once again. I must be going now though. Be careful in the future and if come back, I hope we all meet again." She said to them, giving each individual pokemon a pat on the head before pulling out her Escape Rope, feeling it had been a very good purchase now. With one last wave to her new friends, she used the item, closing her eyes before finding herself outside of the Wet Caverns. She looked around before finding a rock to sit on, making sure it was not a Geodude or one of its evolutions first, before taking a seat and pulling out her pokedex and texting Basil.
Just outside of the Wet Caverns. I'll be staying there until you arrive. Sorry for the trouble She messaged him, hoping he wouldn't be too angry or annoyed.

It was kind of frustrating that after having some decent success earlier to having none at all now. While Steph was having more than a little success with her training, Amelia and her pokemon were having absolutely miserable luck at finding anything else that might be useful from their surroundings. Despite this, the young girl kept very calm, as she knew that not all attempts at such things would end in success. She would just need to keep at it, and it was possible that if she persevered, she would find some success.

And find success she did, as she finally spotted an Oran Berry. She moved to grab the berry, only to have it snatched away from her at the last moment by one of the local pokemon, an Aipom. She watched as the monkey climbed up the tree and taunted her. Amelia just stared up at the monkey before noticing several angry cries from around her as her pokemon were all glaring daggers at the Aipom, an ominous energy coming off of them because... well, angry ghosts. She even noted Freya getting angry in the background as well. Realizing this could be bad, Amelia took a deep breath, counted to ten, and let it out, calming herself down before turning to her pokemon.
"Its okay everyone. It's just a simple berry. We're sure to find more if we keep looking and it's possible, we'll find something better. Thank you so much for caring though." She said to them, taking to time to pet each one, slowly calming them down. Turning back to the Aipom, she gave it a smile and wave before looking at Steph and Freya and pointing in the direction she sensed the Ghost-types. "Come on, let's keep going. I'm sure we'll find something interesting if we keep going this way!"

With that, she would keep moving in that direction still looking for things to forage from the forest with the aid of her pokemon. Mimikyu was keeping close and very alert though, prepared to take a swipe at anything that tried to take something from her trainer. For the most part though, Amelia didn't care. It's not like the items in the forest were hers after all and with pokemon like Aipom around, they were bound to play pranks. A lot of Ghost-types also played pranks, so if she wanted to be a good Ghost-Type trainer, she would need to be able to keep a level head when they did. It was good training in its own way.

It was a good things that bags in the pokemon world never really ran out of room, as Amelia soon found herself staring at a small pile of gems that was still bigger than what she had expected. Still, she was in no position to complain, putting the gems in her bag before gently patting the Diggletts on their heads.
"Thank you very much." She said to them before her attention was entirely turned towards the Sableye. When she offered a Gem, she decided to offer one of the Rock Gems, letting Sableye take it and waited to see if it would give her a moment of its time. Thankfully the Ghost did decide that the gem was enough to warrant it giving her a minute, so Amelia sat down to be closer to its height, not wanting to look down on it, as she took some time to think about what she wanted to say. "I'm sorry for barging down in here to your home, but I'm looking for comnpanions to join me on a journey. I was hoping you or one of your kin would be willing to join me for said journey. That being said, you might not be by my side for a while, since I can only take so many companions with me. But you will be taken somewhere that you'll be taken care of. No need to hunt for food or worrying about being attacked by other pokemon. If you're willing to join me, or you know another Sableye that might be interested, all you or the other Sableye have to do is touch the center of this."

Withthat, she placed a pokeball on the ground between them, fully prepared for the possibility of the Sableye taking it and running off. She did not mind though, as pokeballs were very easy to replace anyway. While the Sableye was thinking, she pulled out her pokedex since it had gone off. She was surprised to see a text message, as she assumed that being underground meant the signal would not go through. Regardless, she took the time to type out a response.
Hello Basil. Sorry I'm taking so long. I'm currently in the Wet Caves and will hopefully be done soon. It might take me a while to reach town though, since I'm hurt my ankle. Sorry for making you waste time.





@Remram @Lunarlord34


"I didn't say anything because... I didn't want to possible distract you from your journey. I don't have a goal or destination in mind, so getting dragged around isn't much of a problem for me. I can always come back later after all." Amelia said while straightening her ruffled hair. She then turned her attention to Freya as she explained where their pokemon had come from. This caused her expression to change to quizzical. "If that's the case, I'm surprised I got Phantump, since they're a shiny. I mean, even Dusk is a shiny. I would figure a breeder would want to keep such rare pokemon, especially for conservation efforts."

The question then came up for if there was any prep that she or Steph wanted to do. Amelia thought about it for a second before shaking her head.
"I can't think of any. I'll try to find some berries or the like on the way though. We might be able to find some useful ones though. And with my pokemon helping me, maybe I'll be able to find even more. Especially with Phantump here." She said before moving over to Steph and holding out one of the Cheri Berries she had found. "For your Sneasel. I don't think it would like to stay paralyzed and I think this is the proper berry to cure it."

With that being said and done, she would be happy to follow after the older girls but would help them stay traveling in the right direction if needed, though she made sure to keep on foraging for more helpful supplies, with her pokemon floating around to help, except for Mimikyu who stayed closeby to guard her and also to keep an eye out for object she might have missed that were closer to the ground.

Amelia did indeed follow the Digletts, as she knew she needed to get used to walking like this. She very much appreciated the help of her little guides and the Geodudes who acted as bodyguards for her, making sure there wasn't another accident. As they left, Amelia would take a second to wave good-bye to the Onix that wasn't racing, figuring that it was only polite and that it was thankful to see them go so it could resume napping.

Amelia's progress was slow and a little painful, but she slowly figured out how to walk at a decent pace while minimizing the pain it caused her. As they walked, her Pokemon made small talk with the Geodudes and Digletts, with even Litwick apologizing for its earlier outburst to show its appreciation towards the effort the Geodudes where making. Eventually they would reach a dead end, at which point the Digletts did what they did best and began digging. It did not take long before one popped up with a gem that it handed to her, then another, and another, and another until she had a small pile in front of her. Amelia sat down and dug through the pile, looking at each gem to see if they were regular gemstones or those gems that could power up certain pokemon moves. She was well aware of the Sableye that had followed them and once she had gone through the pile, she held out a gem towards the ghostly gremlin.
"Hello there. Are you hungry? I'll off4er you this one if you give me a moment of your time." She said kindly, watching the possible new friend closely.

@PlatinumSkink @Remram





Amelia watched the interactions between her pokemon and the while ones. It seemed like something had been said to upset one of the Geodudes and she worried that there might be a battle but thankfully no such thing occured. Instead, all the wild pokemon, sans the Psyduck, left them and returned a few minutes later with several items, which they gave to Amelia. The young girl couldn't help but laugh before reaching out to give each of the Geodudes and Digletts a pat on the head.
"Thank you very much." She said to them, taking the items and putting them in her bag for the time being. She massaged her ankle for a few seconds, hoping to make it feel a little better while still watching the races, especially Sabeleye before an idea struck her. "Hey, Diglett, do you know where I can find some gems? I want to befriend the Sableye there but I don't want to interupt the races. If that's not possible, could you maybe take me to where I can find more Sableye to talk to?"

She asked, certain that this was her best course of action for the time being. Sure, walking was going to be hard, but she had to get used to it. Afterall, it was a very far walk from the cave to the town, even with the Escape Rope. So, she would need to get used to it, painful or not. In the back of her head, she wondered how Basil's trip was going along and if he was okay.





@Remram @Lunarlord34


Amelia most certainly let her pokemon help out with foraging for supplies. Phantump and Yamask especially enjoyed floating around and finding what they could while Mimikyu stayed closer to its trainer, helping pick up nearby things that were closer to the ground. She was content to continue like so, staying out of Freya and Steph's way while they led on, but Freya seemed to have different plans. The other girl addressed Steph, asking the wild girl if she wanted to explorer deeper into the forest. Steph's answer was a VERY enthusiastic yes but quickly turned into her voicing concern for bringing Amelia along.

This surprised Amelia a bit, as she figured Steph would go wherever she pleased, regardless of Amelia being there or not. Hearing that this wasn't the case made Amelia a bit upset but also gave her that small push she needed in order to speak up.
"Actually, Steph... I was hoping to head deeper into the forest as well. I... have a feeling I might find something of interest to me further in. Maybe another Ghost-type. It might just be more Phantumps, but we might also come across Pumpkaboos or, if it gets a bit swampy, maybe some Ghastly. I guess there's also a chance for Lickwicks, depending on the environment. Did you grow up in a forest, Dusk?" The young medium said, addressing her last question to Steph's little candleman.





@Remram @Lunarlord34


Amelia would follow behind Steph and Freya as the trio departed from the fishing store and made their way into the woods. The young girl, while comforted by Freya's words, was still concerned around what had happened earlier. It was now a bit of a nagging thought in the back of her head, a concern about how others might react if they learned about what she could do. But she knew there was no point in dwelling on that just now, so with some effort, she pushed such a thought to the back of her head.

Watching the older girls, she noticed Steph looking in every which direction, even glancing in her direction, causing the young preteen to give her older companion a shy, nervous smile and a wave. Now, while Steph was looking for pokemon and trainers, Amelia was less focused on that and more focused on their surroundings. She could still sense the Ghost-Type pokemon in the distance and was keeping track of where to go but she wasn't sure when to bring up her desire to head in that direction. It just made her nervous to interrupt what someone else was doing in order to fulfill her own selfish desire. So, to try and distract herself, she kept an eye out for any berries or items that might be on the ground that could prove useful down the line as they walked.

When they stopped so Steph could battle and catch a wild Shroomish, Amelia remained silent. She knew that this was not her preferred way to catch pokemon but she also knew it was the most common and possibly the easiest for almost everyone. She held no ill-will towards Steph for using this method, but she still couldn't stop herself from feeling some disapproval and she hated herself for feeling that way. Afterall, she was not in a position to thrust her views upon others. Thankfully, it was a quick battle and it didn't seem like the Shroomish suffered too much. When it was over, Freya seemed to make it a point to bring up that Amelia had something she wanted to do, causing the young girl's face to turn red.
"I-I do but... I'm not sure that it's a good idea. It's a bit out of the way after all and I'm sure Steph would like to get to the next gym sooner rather than later." She said, quickly looking at the ground while twiddling with her thumbs nervously. She fully intended to travel with Steph but she had no plans on getting in Steph's way. Steph had a goal in mind while for Amelia, simply being able to travel was the goal.

@PlatinumSkink @Remram



Amelia continued to watch the races as they went on, finding it a bit odd but somewhat amusing that a Slowpoke decided to join them. She had to wonder if the use of abilities was allowed, as the only way she could see the pink hippo winning was through the use of its psychic abilities. Something told her it wasn't allowed to do so however, otherwise there was an actual chance of Sableye winning, if it could use Shadow Sneak.

She didn't get much of a chance to think on it though, as she soon found herself surrounded by some of the natives of the cave from Digletts to some Geodudes and even an Onix. Normally, she would have been more than happy to move but even putting the slightest weight on her ankle was enough to put a stop to that idea. So, she instead turned her attention to the pokemon in front of her, figuring that they seemed friendly enough. She wasn't as confident as she would be if they were Ghosts but that didn't mean she couldn't be friends with them.
"Hello there. What's are you all up too?" She asked the Digletts and Psyduck.

Meanwhile, Litwick angrily turned towards the Geodudes.
"LIT! LITWICK, LIT LIT LITWICK!" He said angrily, telling the Geodudes that it was because of them and a Graveler rolling around that Amelia had gotten hurt.

"Shu, Shuppet. Petpet, Shupet." Shuppet said, pointing out that it might not have been these Geodudes and trying to keep things calm, as Shuppet knew Amelia was probably not in the mood to battle right now.

@PlatinumSkink @Remram



Amelia quickly found out that the cave was very loudly and unsubtly dangerous in possibly the worse way. She had been focusing on the ghost presense she felt so much that it wasn't until the sounds of a Graveler rolling towards her got much louder that it finally dawned on her that something was coming TOWARDS her. The realization came early enough that she was barely able to get out of the way, the Geodudes that were sent flying in her direction just barely missing her in the process. Once the initial shock wore off, she would slowly get to her feet again, using the cave wall as support as she slowly gathered herself and calmed down. After a few seconds, she took a deep breath before setting off deeper down into the caves.

Eventually, she did make it to the location she was sensing a ghost from, finding what she had expected to find in the form of a Sableye. It seemed this one was competing for gemstones in a race against a Diglett and an Onyx. While she wasn't sure how fast Onyx was, Amelia was certain she remembered hearing that Digletts were actually fairly fast pokemon. And she knew that Sableye weren't the best when it came to speed, not unless they had the Prankster ability to take advantage of. If it actually had Stall as its ability instead, that just made things worse most likely.

As she was thinking about how to possibly help the Sableye out, a sense of growing pain in her right ankle was finally registering as the adrenaline from before finally died down. Realizing she wouldn't be able to keep standing, Amelia found someplace that was relatively safe to sit while still watching the races. As she did, she checked her ankle, finding that it had begun swelling. She had probably sprained or twisted it while dodging the Graveler earlier.
"Well, not going anywhere fast for a while." She said before turning her full attention back to the races again.
