The intervening of Cobalt eventually meant that Atlas was able to escape the clutches of the sneaky Sentret, sitting up in the snow as the brown fluffy creature made a temporary bolt for it, the grass monkey struggled back onto his feet, still a little shocked over the whole ordeal. "Atlas! ATLAS! Hurry over here, Atlas!" For once, the sound of Catherine's overly active, high pitch voice was music to his ears. Turning his confused expression toward the sound of her voice, his face appeared to light up as the fluffy attired girl approached her puzzled monkey with great haste. Dropping to her knees in the snow and lifting the monkey up, she held onto him tightly, "Atlas! I'm sooo happy you are okay! Are you scared?! Are you hurt?!" Pulling him back to give him a quick check over, the pushing away of her twiddling fingers was enough for her to realise that he was okay. Smiling warmly, she pulled open her scarf, inviting him to sit back on her shoulder. "C'mon! Let's go help Cobalt!"
Allowing her Pansage to crawl back up her arm and settle warmly back against her neck, the girl stood up out of the snow to turn and see how her friendly Totodile was doing. Noticing he was looking over to her for a bit of a guiding hand, Catherine tilted her head to one side, large emerald green eyes blinking. "What's the matter, Cobalt?" Turning, she realised the Sentret was still skipping about. Painfully, nonetheless. "It's okay Cobalt, bite it again! It's a sign of love~" A rather innocent smile spreading across her face, she was prepared to do a tiny bit of revenge after it trying to eat her Pansage. Of course, she would heal it afterward.

No sooner had the Totodile let go but once more did it get the go ahead from its trainer that biting was a perfectly acceptable way of displaying its feelings of friendship and care to another party. Feeling relieved that it hadn't been hurting all these poor victims up until then, the Totodile let out a small quack as it wiggled its tail back and forth happily. In that case, it was going to SMOTHER the Sentret in love. Moving forward, the Pokemon picked up the Sentret again and with another clasp of its jaw, made a ferocious bite on the furry critter. This time around however, the pain was too great to bear and it passed out into unconsciousness. Its aspirations of turning into a suped up monster were all but fleeting at this point. Wild Battle

With a final chomp of his baby fangs, Cobalt had managed to subdue the wild and nosey Sentret, getting stronger from the ordeal and saving Atlas to boot. Only, as the Sentret dropped lifelessly, the young Totodile appeared a bit confused, poking the fur of the fainted creature before hopping up and down manically, quacking it's cry to try and get the Pokemon's attention. Approaching without so much as a cheer, Catherine knelt down to examine the Pokemon, tilting her head ever so slightly and giving a nod to her Pansage. Hesitant at first incase the furry Pokemon jumped up and mauled him again, the grass monkey eventually slid off Catherine's shoulder and stood in the snow, pulling a single leaf from the many which grew upon it's head and handed it to Catherine. Unbeknownst to the trio of how much the Sentret wanted this little medicinal herb just a while earlier, the young nurse slid it inside of the critters mouth, removing her hands as she watched it take effect.
The natural juices melting inside of it's mouth, Catherine's attention was perked as the Sentret slowly began to chew, eyes bursting open before it gave a front flip of life. "Yes! Welcome back, Sentret!" The voice of Catherine finally called out, her hands clapping happily whilst Atlas clambered up her back and hid amongst her scarf. "Now you are all nice and healed up you should run on back home. Its cold and dangerous in this sort of weather. Atleast the battle warmed us all up though, teehee~" Giving Cobalt a comforting rub, it was amazing how over the moon he was about the furry Pokemon being alive and well. He appeared so overjoyed that there were tears forming in the corners of his eyes! As odd as the pairing was, the wild Sentret appeared content with going back home now that it had experienced the taste of a Pansage leaf. Bidding the trio adieu, it dashed off in the snow, Cobalt chasing after it for a short while before hopping up and down whilst calling his goodbyes.
"Awww, Cobalt! You are Such. A. CUTIE! I'm sure you and that Sentret will be friends forever! B-But make sure you stay as my friend forever toooooooo!!!" Her words not quite reaching his ears due to the hail suddenly drawing to a close, Catherine pulled her umbrella back and stared up to the sky, the sun finally beaming it's rays back down onto the ground below. Basking in the light, Atlas was also pleased but then it suddenly became so blinding that they both had to flinch back. "G-AAH! Soooo bright! Ooh weeell~ It's better than the c-c-c-OOLD! COBALT!" The sudden flash hadn't been from above at all. After experiencing the bonds of love and friendship, Cobalt had closed his eyes and a unknown force had caused him to begin his evolution! His shape changed into that of a larger crocodile but the childish grin which was still plastered on his body and way he playfully waddled toward Catherine was enough to prove that he was still the same. Dropping her umbrella to meet the Croconaw on the ground, she outstretched her arms and held the Pokemon warmly, "Cobalt! I'm so proud!"

It had been a few days after her Gym battle but the young Catherine was still lingering in Violet City, almost as if not wanting to move on. Each and every day she had gone back to the entrance of Violet City Gym, hoping to meet Falkner once again in order to prove to him that she did want to be friends and didn't just battle him for a badge and move on like other trainers did. Rather sweetly, she had input his number into her C-Gear but was far too nervous to actually phone or send a message out. Regardless, every time she went to visit in person, someone would barge past her in order to take up this Gym challenge, leading her to stagger back to the Pokemon Center and waste another day away. She wasn't love sick with him but it was more of what he said to her, it had plagued her innocent mind and caused her to actually think. She needed to grow up and a part of her didn't even want to travel anymore.
But at the same time, she couldn't just stop. There were now several people in her mind she had promised to become strong, independent and mature girl or atleast prove to them that she could. Falkner, Chuck, the orphanage back home and most importantly, Odette. If she wanted to be a Breeder, Nurse or something entirely different, she needed to heed the words of Falkner and stop moping about in her rented room. "I'VE DECIDED!" Catherine randomly blurted out to herself, jumping from her bed and posing victoriously, "From today, I'm gonna grow UP!" Swiftly turning on the spot, the girl collected all her possessions and stormed out of the buildings, eyes glancing from left to right as she thought of where to go first. In her eyes, the first step to growing up was appearance. Now, she knew that Nurse Joy still wore her big nurse dresses and Catherine herself loved ribbons, surely that bit about her didn't need to change. But there was something else. "My hair!! Something short, sweet and easy to look after, yes!"
So, settling on the thought of grooming, this girl strode onwards with fast steps, she was on a mission. Slipping into a hair dressers, Catherine had a majority of her golden locks snipped off, her childish side still showing through as she requested it to be styled similarly to her idols who run Pokemon Centres all over the world, Nurse Joy. Large loops now hanging by her ears, she required a change of outfit. Dashing back to her haven in order to use one of the local computers, Catherine contacted home. Writing the most babble she had ever done, she told her adoptive mother everything what had happened on her journey so far, even the bit she had already said in any previous messages. It then continued into how desperately she wanted to make a change in herself and really, the more she typed, the easier it was for her to understand herself. Eyes lighting up as she hit the enter key, the blonde retreated back to her room a lot quicker than she hoped for the day. Collecting food later in the evening before having a long sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a busy, life changing day, after all.
Awakening with the feeling of shorter locks tickling her shoulders, Catherine found herself leaping out of bed and jumping onto the personal computer in her room. Success! As usual, her lovely mother was on the ball, sending back a just as heart warming, loving and deeply emotion letter back to the sweet Catherine. And more importantly, a bit of Catherine's home wardrobe was attached in the magical form of digital transportation. The items of clothing literally morphing onto the desk before her, the way computers worked were far above the knowledge of the clumsy prone Catherine. Changing into an equally as cute, nurse styled outfit, it wasn't much of a mind blowing change but she was taking it a step at a time. Checking over her items and Pokeballs before taking a new step into the great outdoors as a new girl, there was one last thing she had to do. Breathing out heavily, she stared at the C-Gear attached to her wrist and with a random burst of confidence and 'what is the worst that could happen' type of mind set, she managed to send a message to a certain Gym Leader claiming that she was finally moving on and she would come back again to see him.
Then, it was time. Sipping a glass of water until it was empty, the blonde stepped outside into the open streets once again. Following the waves of people as they walked the pavement, Catherine found herself passing the Gym for one final time before turning into Route 32. However, she wasn't going to stop here for long. The majority of this route had already experienced her nosing around. She was pressing further, to the tunnel at the very end. Following that, she would find herself in Azalea and the next challenge. But more importantly, the chance to make more friends. Travelling her way through the grass as the summer sun shone above her, it was a surprisingly short trip for her until the back of a tall, rocky mound stood on the horizon, coming closer into view with every passing step. "Almost there, almost... there!" Whispering to herself whilst trying to beat the sweltering heat, the girl staggered her way down one last ledge when suddenly, it stood there. The entrance to Union Cave. Blinking in awe, it sure was an odd feeling. She hadn't travelled through a cave before. Regardless, she bit her tongue, hand gripping tighter to the handle of her small shoulder satchel, "Phew... Right. Here we go now Catherine, buck up." Taking her foot off the dirt path and into the more rocky texture of the cave flooring, she stepped further into the darkness, heart racing at this new surrounding.

Given the fact this appeared to be Catherine's first foray into the murky world of caves and the impenetrable dark they wrought, it was arguably not going to be the best of starts with what loomed, hidden within the shadows. The aspiring nurse could have done a lot worse however, there was always Dark Cave which boasted darkness so thick that even a burst of light could only dispel the murk away a foot or so away. There, the many denizens of the cave were prone to sneaking up on trainers without so much hiding behind cover, the darkness did it for them. Union Cave however was a lot different. Given that Johto had a fair amount of mountainous features to its region, it meant that the people who grew up in the region were a cave faring sort. If they couldn't climb over the mountain, they'd merely tunnel their way through it without impunity. Given that there was little other else that travellers could do to snake around the large cave, it meant that they were confined to one of the two above. A lot of the time, many hikers did nonchalantly climb their way over Union while the majority of others followed the public passage that had been excavated and preserved by the local town and city governments. Illuminated barely with glowing electrical torches jammed into the ground, it gave the inside a somewhat surreal feeling; almost as if those who were venturing through it were traversing through another world. In some regards, it wasn't a mistaken feeling to behold. Anyone who spent time within the cave would no doubt be reassured they were for all intents and purposes in another reality distant from the one they were comfort in. One particular facet of this feeling was the difference in the wildlife. While the verdant green plains and urbanised cemented sprawls were full of commonly seen Pokemon, the innards of the cave offered something entirely different. Adapting to their environment, many of the Pokemon appeared to give homage to their surroundings with the similar craggy and rocky like hides they boasted. Those who weren't able to mould their skin into that of a rocky toughness had their own ways of giving respect to their habitat. Pokemon like Zubat and Whismur have developed perfectly to live in harmony with the darkness thanks to their different way of hearing. No matter where you looked, the world of caves was definitely out of the ordinary. However, the rare species that had been enraptured by the youthful nurse's presence was one of the former. Remaining still like a watchful sentinel, the Pokemon was able to masterfully blend in with its surroundings, aside from one very giving feature of its appearance. Its bloody big nose. Sticking out like a sore thumb, or more accurately in this case, a throbbing red nose, the Nosepass was hoping that wouldn't reveal itself to the adventuring trainer. As she moved along with her back turned to it, the Nosepass saw its chance. Neither lithe nor subtle, the Nosepass moved from its post and began tankering after her with a rather noisy thump of its heavy body and rocky feet as they scraped against the floor. Stopping every now and again as it hoped to avoid being detected by Catherine, the Nosepass was surely going to rue having such a large nose. Having kicked up enough dust and debris from the floor, the statue like golem began to feel its nose twitch before it let out a rather nasally sneeze. Causing a huge reverberation to echo around the cave, it knew it had been uncovered. Not knowing what to do, it flung its arms up and began teetering from side to side. Encounter
A watchful Nosepass (Level 14) has appeared! Please select a Pokemon for battle.

A hand lightly hovering against the rocky walls, a rather puzzled Catherine began her first ever exploration of a cave. The darkness and constant flickering of lights made the usually energetic girl incredibly nervous. Every so often the electric lanterns strung throughout the cave would dim or even momentarily go out. If anything, this fear of being plunged into complete darkness was drawing old memories back to the surface. The time when she narrowly missed a deathly experience with that monster of a dragon, Kyurem. Heart racing with every step and hand clinging to the wall that bit firmer, her large emerald eyes flickered rapidly around, expecting something to pop out at her any second. Unfortunately, a presence was soon felt. Or atleast heard. Unknowing of the Nosepass which was following the young blonde, it's heavy stomping sent the girl to a state of high alert. Back immediately straightening and face appearing fearful, she was far too scared to actually turn around.
"He-h-HELLO?!" Catherine bravely called out, eyes pinning shut incase she actually received an answer. But the stalking steps had since stopped, strangely around the same time her own movement had ceased. Fingers twitching by her sides, she decided to proceed, moving a few steps ahead but quickly stopping as the noise echoed after her. Then, something awful happened. Looking down wearily at her feet, she saw a swift cloud of dust brush past her ankles but that wasn't the worst of it. From right behind her, a monstrous noise emitted, the echo of the closed in walls just making it sound even more terrifying. "EEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEE!!!" Catherine wailed back in absolute fear. Her body felt paralysed, no matter how desperately she wanted to move her feet just wouldn't listen. Not even turning, even more noises boomed from behind the girl in the form of the Nosepass stomping from side to side. Arms immediately raising and clenching her head, the young girl fell into a crouching position, eyes flinching shut. "Just what is this?! I... I haven't felt so scared since--!!"
Her thoughts even being to trail off into useless banter, if this was a seriously dangerous situation then she would be doomed. But something had worked in her favour. All the years of studying every Pokemon in the world known to date. The unique cry of the Nosepass sinking into her ears, the blonde girl had atleast managed to open her eyes. Bit by bit, she took it in more, arms loosening and eventually, she gained the courage to turn her head. Blinking, she couldn't believe she had been such a fool. "A... Nosepass?" Turning completely now but remaining on her knees, she remained unsure of what to do. The Pokemon hadn't hurt her and if anything, it was dancing, looking harmless. "A-Ahh, sorry for scaring you, Nosepass!" Catherine suddenly called, her legs not feeling like jelly anymore. If anything, she was embarrassed for having such an over dramatic reaction to this stalker. "O-Oh! I know!" Reaching for the belt around her waist, the girl picked a Pokeball, staring at it before holding it before her, "Would you like to battle? Is that why you were following me? I bet you don't see humans very often... Okay!"
Settling on what she thought the red nosed Pokemon wanted, she threw forward her first choice of Pokemon. The ball bursting open, it revealed a familiar grass monkey, his eyes immediately faltering at the sight of the colossal Pokemon before him. Not being out in the open for a while, even the location of the cave had caught him off guard. What was worse, when he turned back to see Catherine, he was bewildered to see a completely transformed girl! "Atlas! It's okay! Do you not want to battle? The Nosepass is a little big.. W-Wait there Nosepass!" Atlas quickly dashing back to Catherine's side, he took a mighty jump into her open arms and settled back around her shoulders, hand poking at her new hair style. But in the meantime, she selected a different ball, quickly tossing it forward incase the Nosepass decided to rush off. Sending forward Cobalt, the Croconaw stomped about on the spot, a wide and childish grin making it apparent that he was still the same as when he was a Totodile. "Okay Cobalt, use Water Gun on that Nosepass! Be nice though, it is super friendly!"
OOC: Sent in Atlas but replaced with Cobalt and used Water Gun.

Quaking in pain as the girl's voice painfully echoed around the forum a thousand fold it felt, the Nosepass kept its hands plugged securely over its ears. With the echo slowly passing, it shook its head and lowered its arms as it swung them back and forth as it stomped from side to side. Hoping she wouldn't continue on with another outburst, the Nosepass perked up slightly as she spoke in a fairly reasonable tone of voice. At least she wasn't wailing any longer. Nevertheless, the girl appeared to be wanting to initiate a battle. Not really bothered now that it had been spotted, the Nosepass let out a very nasally cry as it acknowledged her offer and forward its wish to comply. However, as the trainer geared up for a fight, the Nosepass simply ignored whatever it was she was going to be sending out and made to work on its own attack. Being a rocky being, it had access to a variety of Rock orientated move. One of which was Rock Throw. Typically, when that move was ordered it was something of a predicament for the Pokemon and their trainer as there was typically no rocks worth throwing in the vicinity. Instead, it meant they had to improvise. But in this circumstance, there was no need. Union Cave was FILLED with rocky boulders. Not having to tread off too far, the Nosepass found an acceptable sized boulder and extended out its pebble like arms, gripping onto the rock as it lifted its arms up to carry it over its head. By the time it had turned, it noticed the sheer look of confusion indented on Atlas' face. Slightly hesitating, it watched as the grass monkey made good of its escape into Catherine's arms. Instead, it would have to face something far more aggressive. Standing tall as he was summoned, Cobalt gnashed his impressive maw together. Seeing the sight of a Water type was enough to instil living fear into the stone sentinel. Lobbing the rock forward with a throw, the boulder crumbled as it made impact with Cobalt. Barely phased by the attack, Cobalt opened his mouth and instead retaliated with a hefty stream of water that showered the Nosepass with high intensity pressure. Chipping off and eroding its rocky constitution, it let itself be pushed up against the cave wall as the water gun eventually died down. Shaking off the excess water, the Nosepass turned and picked up another rock to throw. Lobbing it with the same mastery, the boulder crumbled as it once again hit Cobalt who seemed no less happy to be out and about. It'd likely have to take a meteor to make a dent in this crocodile.

Not quite realising the wild Nosepass had leant to one side to unearth a boulder, it was a slight shock to Catherine as she peered around the side of the chunky Croconaw to see what predicament he was in. Flinching back with a hand loosely hovering above her mouth, the blonde teenager squealed quietly, "Be careful there CO--balt." Her voice falling on a dull note, she witnessed a heavy boulder being smashed on the head of her Pokemon, right before her eyes. A bit dumb struck at such a horrific attack, she could feel Atlas quivering with fear on her shoulder, his hands sheltering his young eyes. The worse thing for the Pansage was the idea that if Catherine refused to return him, that almighty attack would've clocked him on the head! Yet the actual Croconaw appeared uninterested. His cry grunting out from under his breath, Cobalt shook his head from side to side, quickly regaining his toothy grin. For most unknowing of his childish personality, it would've been a scary sight coming from such a brute, but he meant no harm. Catherine had said this Nosepass was a friend and all friends loved to play.
Parting his giant maw and releasing a torrent of water so powerful that it sent the wild Nosepass shooting backward and indenting the very cave walls, this time it was time to worry about the opposing side. The boulder was a shock to see but that Water Gun actually looked painful. "NOSEPASS? ARE YOU STILL THERE? ARE YOU OKAY?!" Loosing sight on the red nosed Pokemon, she could atleast breath a sigh of relief as it hobbled out of it's coffin in the wall. Stomping through the darkness and back into the girls line of sight, she jumped as another boulder was thrown. This time, even the playful Cobalt didn't find it entertaining. His smile turning into the complete opposite and actually looking angry, Catherine felt a bit tense. "Hold on there, Cobalt! N-Nosepass looks a little too weak to carry on! Lemme try to capture it and you can play with something else later, okay?" Half expecting the crocodile to turn with a look of indignation, she was instead relieved to see a smile back on his face, stumpy hands clapping in agreement.
As long as the Nosepass didn't throw another boulder and make Cobalt snap into a fit of rage, everything would be fine. Plunging a hand into her satchel of belongings, she pulled out a Greatball which was given to her at the start of her journey. She was waiting for the perfect time to use it and holding such a rare Pokemon like Nosepass would hopefully work. Enlarging the ball with a click, she tossed it forward, Atlas gripping onto her shoulder tighter as her torso turned slightly.
Used; x1 Greatball (Self updated)

Still feeling dripping wet, the Nosepass shook itself around once more and quivered at the feeling of water dripping through its every nook and cranny. Not wanting to relent, the Pokemon stuffed its penetrating arms forward into another well placed rock nearby and lifted it over its head. Just as Catherine threw the Greatball, the Nosepass also threw the boulder from its hands. As the two objects went soaring through the air at one another stoically, it was looking grim for the smaller Greatball. Miraculously however, as soon as they made contact, the boulder crumbled to tiny pieces just as the blue, red and white capture device continued on through its course without so much a hint of slow down. Nudging into the dumb founded Nosepass, it was enveloped in a red light before it was whisked inside the ball's confines. Falling to the floor with a clunk, the Pokeball almost rolled into the impenetrable darkness as it began to rattle back and forth. Once... Twice... Thrice...

OOC: Leaving Fury Swipes and boxing Nosepass blank. Also putting Rufflet Egg into Catherine's party. ( 1022/8000 )
Catherine gasped as her finger tips were freed from the metallic texture of the Great Ball, her wide eyes picking up on something quite dangerous. Another boulder had been throw in time with the swing of her own arm, meaning that the two would more than likely collide. "OH NO! The boulder! Cobalt, look out!" For the young nurse, this was the single Great Ball that she had in her possession, so losing it to a rock would dampen her spirits. Then there was Cobalt to take into account. Atlas was find hiding away behind her locks of hair but the Croconaw had noticed this incoming obstacle. Grin fading and eyes staring, the crocodile puffed up his chest, preparing another water gun in case he needed to blast the rock out of the way. Yet amazingly, Cobalt didn't need to lift a single claw. Jumping back in surprise as the lone object sliced right through the boulder with little to no care of what it had just hit, the trio looked just as surprised as Nosepass as a light engulfed the nose and dragged it inside.
Rocking back and forth along the dirt path, Catherine eased herself up onto the tip of her toes, hands linking together as if pleading the Nosepass to remain inside. A single shake longer and it abruptly came to a halt. Moments like this were often too good to be true in the eyes of Catherine, so her reaction was more than likely a little slower compared to the average trainer. Eye lashing batting and lips parted, they slowly curled up into a grin upon watching Cobalt waddle forward and lift the ball up, sniffing and shaking it with intrigue before tripping energetically back toward Catherine. Presenting it to her with his chubby arms stretched, the girl took it from his cautiously, her smile not being able to stretch far enough to show her happiness. "Yes! We caught it! Heehee, great job Cobalt, your water attacks and still super strong and peeeeew! I mean, phew. Atleast that boulder didn't hurt anyone." Giving Cobalt a comforting pat after she had pocketed the Great Ball, the girl looked around on the spot, trying to work out just which group of boulders she had to squeeze through in order to reach the exit.
"I suppose we should just follow the lights and see where they take us." An uncertain decision being made, Catherine withdrew her faithful Croconaw so that he could rest and began to step forward. Eyes trailing along the lights which, she could only guess, took her deeper. But a step or two forward and she found herself stopping right away. Turning to the side, she examined the damage the previous battle had done. The blast of water had left a indent in the cave walls and rocks had been uplifted, leaving behind crater like gaps in the flooring. Looking almost guilty as the damage she had caused sunk in, she sighed sadly and was planning on rushing off, all until something caught Atlas' eye. Usually the type to run and hide at the first sign of danger, for the ape to actually leap off her shoulder and approach the darkness meant something along the lines of the opposite... Was something in danger? "Atlas? Atlas, what is wrong? Don't go too far, dont leave me!" Squealing nervously, the girl picked up her feet, stepping off the worn path and amongst the large boulders where Atlas had disappeared into.
"Atlas? ATLAS?!" Speaking in a harsh whisper, Catherine was finding it difficult picking up on the location of her partner. Now stepping right off the path and into an alcove in the wall, she perked up at the sound of the Pansage chirping. Spotting his flickering tail from behind a stalagmite, Catherine picked up her pace to meet him, "Atlas, what is wrong? Did you find something back here? I dont under...stand." Mind floating with questions at first, the nurse was in for a surprise at the sight of Atlas' hand being placed on a rather odd looking, pale rock. Looking incredibly concerned, her turned to Catherine, arms waving around wildly as if trying to converse with her. Kneeling down, she decided to take a closer inspection at what his senses had picked up on. Frowning lightly, she too touched the strange object, Atlas leaping up and positioning himself back on her shoulder. Chimping on and on until she put two and two together, Catherine picked up the object and walked out into the light.
Sitting right in her hands wasn't a rock or a strange item, it was "...An egg?!" For her nurse aspiration or breeder route, either one she would have to deal with eggs and back in Lucunosa Town, she had experienced handling them before. Losing all energy, she held it just as cautiously and carefully as a mother would a new born baby. There was just a single thing which made her feel even more worried and that was the protruding feather, one which was far too familiar. "And this looks like, no, I'm positive it is a Rufflet feather. B-But why would an Unovan egg be in a Johto cave?" Holding onto it tightly, she couldn't bare to believe that someone simply abandoned it. "I have an idea! If we take it to the nurse in Azalea, maybe she knows someone who lost the egg. Why, the place we found it looks like an area a trainer would camp in or something." Wriggling herself out of the gaps and finding her way back onto the dirt path, she found herself stressing once again, unable to remember which way she actually wanted to travel in. "Ooh, ohh."
