Frozen Cave || Afternoon

Mt. Chill lived up to its name, and Eryn quickly realized that she was a bit underdressed for the occasion—as were some of her Pokemon. After her team had shivered for a few minutes, she’d ended up recalling everyone except Dei. Instead, she scooped up the Charmander and marched forth, patting him on the head.

The cave started out dark, and her eyes had to adjust to the darkness, but the ice soon opened up, and Eryn couldn’t help a quiet “wow.” Ice towered above her, huge and jagged, forming everything from floor to ceiling. While she’d expected a good amount of ice in the Frozen Cave, she certainly hadn’t expected everything around her to be made of ice.

A cold breeze encouraged her to squeeze Dei tighter as she stared at the huge creature frozen in ice overhead. “Well, glad we aren’t fighting that,” she said, then paused. “How… did it get there anyway?”

A Delibird came up to her, holding a berry up to her with a cry. Eryn stared at it for a second, then realized she was being offered something.

“Thank you!” she said, taking it with a grateful smile.

The Delibird left after that, and Eryn headeed towards the settlement under the frozen Wailord. To the largest one she went, hoping that she could buy some environment-appropriate clothing and shoes. She’d managed to avoid slipping thus far, but the close calls hadn’t been pleasant.

Lakewatch || Afternoon

“Yep, nice meeting all of you! We’ll see each other again someday, I’m sure,” Eryn said with a grin and a wave, and then she was off to the Pokemon Center to get her Pokemon healed.

Further training was on her mind as she wandered towards Route 5, the high of a lost battle keeping her in silent thought. She was fairly overdue for a gym battle, as Lesley had pointed out, but she’d also caught one Pokemon after another. How was one expected to challenge gyms with Pokemon as fresh to the team as hers?

More importantly, though, was the matter of her battle with Oaken tomorrow morning. Her loss to Basil had reminded her that battling wasn’t light work, and Atha needed a win now. No Pokemon of hers was going to suffer two losses in a row, not on her watch.

After some time consulting the map on her Pokedex, she settled on training in the Frozen Caves, and she kept a brisk pace there, throwing out Pokemon to battle wilds she came across on the way. Ember was Atha’s main move right now, as was it Dei’s, so she was looking forward to seeing what sort of ice-types they’d be able to hone their skills against.

Plus, the Frozen Cave had such an ominous name. Hopefully there would be lodging there, or she’d have to make the trek back early—or in the dark.

Lakewatch || Afternoon

Eryn’s jaw dropped. Lesley? All this time, she was talking to he Lakewatch gym leader who specialized in dragon-types?

“Oh, Braith!” Eryn grinned. “He’s definitely going to utilize that to his advantage.” And flattered to hear that the match had been so close, Eryn figured. Unless he already knew that.

At Lesley’s apology, Eryn chuckled. “It’s fine! It was a bit weird being interrogated, but I get it.”

The other two trainers introduced themselves as Basil and Amelia, and they both knew each other—and went through Professor Kalmia too. What a small world.

“Yeah! I guess we just missed each other,” Eryn said. “I’m Eryn.”

Basil’s Hawlucha let out another cry, challenge clear in his eyes as he looked between Atha and Lesley. Atha, futher clarifying her future track record, smirked and met his gaze with a huff, and Eryn figured it’d be good to step in there.

“Alright girlie, let’s take a moment to get to know each other before you start picking fights,” Eryn said, reaching down to pat Atha’s head.

Atha dodged out of the way, shooting Eryn a glare. Another proud, stubborn personality for the tally. Eryn was getting good with those.

“Well, I’m not one to say no to a battle,” Eryn said, looking to Basil with a grin. “How about a 2-v-2? Just to give Atha a taste of the action, with some backup?”

Lakewatch || Afternoon

A flustered girl apologized on behalf of the Phantump, marking her as the ghost-type’s trainer.

“Well, she definitely got both of us,” Eryn said, looking at the snickering Phantump. Its mischievousness was rather cute, even if its sport was scaring unsuspecting strangers.

Atha, on the other hand, seemed to regard the Phantump with some form of hostile contempt, watching the ghost-type return to their trainer’s side with narrowed eyes. But, once the threat had left, her attention was quickly absorbed by the woman in red, and she lowered her head as soon as the woman did, a smirk on her lips.

The woman’s concerned questioning quickly transformed into threats that had Eryn’s eyes wide, but Atha simply grinned, chirping in amusement.

“Bay!” Atha said once she stopped chirping, and she nodded her head towards Eryn, starting on what was, in Eryn’s opinion, a rather long-winded story about their meeting. But, judging by Atha’s clear eyes and easy smile, Eryn figured she had little to worry about. It seems she had a storyteller on her team.

When Atha had finally finished chattering, she paused, then smirked again, lowering her head. She hadn’t forgotten about the armored woman’s challenge, it seeemed.

Unfortunately, it was at this moment that a multicolored bird burst from the sidelines, leaping into the fray with a call. Atha raised her head, a scowl evident as fangs peeked through.

“Well, nice to meet you two too!” Eryn said, rather amused by all the people gathering around them. But, considering the bright red armor the woman sported, she supposed it wasn’t that surprising after all.

The woman’s statement that her background made her “easy to find” was a bit unsettling. Easy to find for what?

“Oh, that’s pretty cool!” Eryn said, grinning. “You’ll have to give me some tips on training a Bagon. Do you? Breed Bagon?”

It didn’t slip Eryn’s attention that the woman had dodged through giving her name, and although that was again quite suspicious, the fact that the woman might be a dragon breeder was much more exciting. It also explained her general wariness towards Eryn having caught a wild dragon-type, so Eryn held onto her reservations for now.

“Alright, give me just a second,” Eryn said, heading into the Pokemon Center. There, she recalled all her Pokemon and turned their Pokeballs over to the nurse, heading back out after she got them back.

“Alright, Atha,” Eryn said, pressing the trigger on the Bagon’s Pokeball. “Hope you’re feeling better.”

Atha emerged from the glow in one piece, looking around quizzically. Her gaze quickly zeroed in on the woman in red armor with her two dragon rivals draped over her shoulders.

Just then, a loud cry from beside Eryn sent her flinching back in surprise. Somehow, a black, spirit-like Pokemon wearing some sort of horned helmet had crept up next to her without her noticing.

“Woah, is that a ghost-type?” Eryn peered at it, trying to place it. Its mask was strangely shaped, the rough surface riddled with grooves, and the red things attached it the projections on either side were shaped rather like leaves.

“Oh!” Her eyes grew round. “A shiny Phantump? That’s so cool!”

Eryn watched as the woman hoisted the two fainted Bagon up, rather impressed at how effortlessness it looked. She herself was carrying Tula at the moment, and while the Magikarp was rather light, she wasn’t sure if she could throw two over her shoulders with the same ease.

“Let’s walk together! I insist.”

Eryn blinked. “Oh, um, okay.” Now that she was essentially off the hook with her little deception, she wasn’t as concerned, but the woman’s pushiness was at least a bit suspicious. Were all Lakewatch locals this protective over their dragons?

“Um, yeah! Like I said, I’m Eryn, and I’m honestly a pretty new trainer, but I think I've made a good start with all the Pokemon I've caught so far,” she said, gesturing at her team around her. “I'm helping Professor Kalmia with her Pokedex project, but honestly it's probably helping me more than I'm helping it. As for why I decided to become a Pokemon, trainer well, it’s honestly been a lifelong dream of mine,” she said with a grin. “I would’ve started way earlier if it weren’t for my parents pushing me to go to school and all, but I’m here now and that’s all that matters.”

She pulled out her trainer card when prompted, offering it to the woman in case she wanted to see it up close.

“So, what about you? Are you from around here?” she asked, rather unsure of the whole situation now. The woman didn’t exactly strike her as a shady figure, but she’d answered an awful lot of questions in the last few minutes. “Also, I don’t think I ever got your name.”

Eryn couldn’t help but stare at the woman as she spoke, enamored with the bright platemail that coated her arms. To go around wearing such a getup meant she was either a very eccentric trainer, or a very important one. Sure trainers could be strange at times, but they usually weren’t that out of the ordinary—unless they had a reason to be.

But, perhaps she was both, Eryn realized as the woman slipped on a helmet and readied herself for a headbutt with a Pokemon. Sure a young Bagon probably wasn’t that strong yet, but Pokemon resilience was still very different from that of a human. Eryn herself would be hesitant to take up such a challenge, and that realization sparked admiration for the armored woman, but that was a thought for later. Right now, she had a grave to dig herself out of.

“Oh, I don’t know if that would be the best idea,” Eryn said, thinking fast. “She just got out of a showdown with two other Bagon, and honestly she’s not in the best of health. In fact, she’s probably on her last legs as is.”

She looked pointedly at Eri, and she was met with immediate confusion. Still, Eri rolled with it, nodding and stumbling a little where he stood. Eryn gave him a very small, hopefully imperceptible tilt of her head, and he tripped over a foot, collapsing into an inelegant pile on the floor.

“Oh you poor thing,” she said dramatically as she rummaged around her bag for his Pokeball, recalling him without retrieving his ball from her bag, then pulling out Atha’s Pokeball instead. “Maybe she’ll be more up for it after a trip to the Pokemon Center.”

Eryn chuckled when she caught the challenging glint in the Bagon’s eyes, then nodded, throwing the ball. It arced through the air, landing on the Bagon and absorbing it with a pop, then landed onto the floor with a click.

The whole thing was so shockingly underwhelming that Eryn ended up staring at the Pokeball on the cave floor for a few seconds, not quite processing what had just happened.

“Huh,” she said when too much time had passed for something else to happen. “Well.” She walked over and picked up the Pokeball, examining it. “Welcome to the team, Atha.”

“Hey, who goes there?”

Eryn fumbled the Pokeball for a moment, then recollected herself, her stomach sinking as she looked around. This was bad. If the voice was a Lakewatch local, this was very, very bad, especially since she was, now that she was trying, unable to call out her newly caught Bagon to explain things. Had Atha fainted upon being caught? That would make for a funny story at a later date, but right now, that left her in a very precarious spot.

“Oh!” Eryn turned on Eri. Some skills truly were useful. “Turn into a Bagon, would you? We’re going to pretend that you’re Atha!”

Eri looked a bit confused but did as she bid, and she patted him on the head, doing her best to get used to the way her hand phased through his disguise when she pet him.

With five Pokemon including an anxious Bagon at her side, she cleared her throat, then called out to the approaching figure. “I’m Eryn! A trainer. I was just exploring when I came across these three Bagon fighting over some sort of blue scale. Two of them got knocked out in the scuffle, but I ended up convincing the last one standing to come with me…”

She paused. Perhaps that was too much information, but it was too late now.Instead, she scrutinized the shadows, trying to make out either a friend or a foe.

During the last face-off, Eryn found herself holding her breath. The Bagon were evenly matched, but they only seemed to fight harder because of it, and Eryn admired them for it. That was the ideal she wanted to live up to: to fight harder in the face of the insurmountable. For what was a trainer to do in the face of such a long, daunting path as the one they started except fight harder?

Eryn jumped to her feet when the last Bagon stumbled, dashing forward. “Hey, it’s okay,” she said, holding out a hand as she approached the scale, slowing her steps so that the Bagon didn’t feel threatened. “I’m just—there.” She crouched, pushing the scale so that it skittered across the ground towards the dragon-type. “It’s yours. You earned it.”

She paused, watching, then steeled herself. This one. She had the most to offer this one.

“How would you like to come with me?” Eryn stared at the Bagon—stared at the potential the Bagon had. “We’d leave this cave and travel the region, explore mysteries and discover the unknown.”

Eryn paused, then pulled an empty Pokeball from her bag, grinning. “I hope you don’t think I’m taking no for an answer, though.”

Wet Caverns || Day 5: Afternoon

Eri didn’t actually end up shining, and while Eryn was a bit disappointed, the disappointment that covered Eri’s face was much more devastating, and she quickly recovered her smile. “Hey, it was a nice try. Plus, you basically did grumpy ol’ Dei a favor in letting him feel important for a bit.”

Though she whispered the last bit, Dei wasn’t exactly far away. He snorted at her words, tail swishing, and she just laughed in response, leaning over to pat him on the head as well.

Down the tunnel they went, Dei leading the way through Geodude and Graveler alike. While the rolling was rather terrifying the first time around, this time, perhaps by virtue of Peri being much larger and intimidating, Eryn and her team maneuvered past without a hitch. Soon enough, they were walking along the river, with Eryn peering curiously into the waters, when Eri let out a soft Umbreon mew.

Up ahead, Eryn could just make out three small shapes amongst the stones. They were gathered in a circle, facing each other, and once she was closer, she made out the silver-crowned head of three dragon-types—Bagon.

“Yes!” Eryn ducked, forgetting to temper her volume, but then decided trying to play off revealing herself wasn’t worth it, especially given Dei’s tail. So, she instead straightened, giving an awkward wave. “Hello! Don’t mind us. We’ll wait for you all to finish your little, er, face-off.”

And that’s what it looked like, for between the three Bagon was a single, glimmering scale. Why they wanted it and whether they would fight over it, Eryn wasn’t sure, but she wasn’t about to interrupt nature at its finest.

If anything, she’d catch the victor.
