[Action] Let's Talk to Pokémon!

[sixwholeplates]

[Backdated to the 11th.]

[Cecilia talked to Apollo and Lucas about the same thing: needing to talk to Pokémon to find out if they had seen any iron lately. It seems like a good idea to her, though it came from Apollo. But she can do that -- at least with ones that talk. And thus, here she waits, near the indicated place.]

[A huge, ancient oak stands up behind her, and sits on the crest of a hill. It makes it stand out. It's hard to miss. Being short, Cecilia is just dwarfed by it.]

[But, worst of all... she doesn't know Lucas's name.]

[Apollo looks up and gives a very slight nod.]

Yeah, thanks to Lucas. You did something to protect me too, didn't you Cecelia? I don't know how long I could've held on without that.

[He straightens.]

Are you two okay to start moving again?

[a_gentle_boy]

...Mm-hm. We should probably move on before something else decides to attack us again.

[Lucas smiles faintly, steps away from Cecilia, and picks up Avey as well as the giant pack he had ditched on the ground when the fight had began.]

I think the canyons can't be too far if the Shinx came from there. Let's go!

[sixwholeplates]

Ah, yes--I increased your defenses. [She looks at Apollo and smiles, then she nods towards him.]

I am. Let's go. Come on, Raftina.

[Cecilia starts moving; she tucks her hand into her robe to try to ignore the itch building up there. Her Eevee trudges after her, looking around alertly.]

I heard they look amazing!

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

[Apollo moves to the front of the group, Fletchling landing on his shoulder.]

You're right, they probably aren't far.

Grandpa told me that they're a pretty nice-looking place. I guess we'll see when we get there.

[a_gentle_boy]

No one's ever made it across to the other side, right? ...Or even down to the bottom, probably.

I met a Flying-type Shifter the other day in Union. Maybe if he ever learns to fly, we'll find out what's past there.

((Do you guys want to keep going or should we stop here? I'm good with either!))

[sixwholeplates]

A flying Shifter! That's--that would be amazing. But no, I don't think so...

[She shakes her head, before she looks at Apollo. She flashes him a quick smile.]

It must be. It's almost the end of the world--like Lucas said, no one's ever crossed it. That... we know of, at least.

((I can go either way, too! No strong preferences here.))

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

I haven't heard of anyone making it to the other side either. It'll probably take a lot of people who can fly or know someone who can to explore beyond the canyon.

[He looks at the Fletchling on his shoulder.]

Maybe we can try when Fletchling is big enough to carry me.

((For the sake of not being the third person who's good with either, I'll vote to stop here. If anyone does want to continue, we could always start a new thread of looking around the canyon itself. And probably finding nothing because the canyon is likely not the right kind of rock to find iron in.))

[a_gentle_boy]

((OK, that's fine with me!))

I'd say we should try to make a bridge, but...

I guess Union engineers probably don't really have much experience with bridges.

[And up ahead, the trees begin to thin! The canyon is near!]

[sixwholeplates]

((Sounds good! Good scene!))

Definitely not on that scale... ah, there it si!

[And indeed, there it is! Cecilia points at the canyon, staring at it and smiling when she gets a good look.]
