<span style="font-size: 15px"><b>Round Primary</b></span><br/><br/>When Scarlett handed the<b>Repel</b>to Eleyna, she hesitated for a moment before taking it.<span style="color: blue">Oh, uhm, thanks... you don't want it?</span>She asked, though didn't decline the gift, taking it and putting it into her bag.<br/><br/>Eleyna gave Aisha a bit of a smile, if for nothing but her undousable enthusiasm.<span style="color: blue">Oh, no... I know fire types well enough. My mother's first Pokemon was a Ponyta. When I met him he was already a fully evolved and very experienced Rapidash. Of course by the time I was old enough to remember her Pokemon, most all of them were strong. My mother always inspired loyalty in Pokemon. Of course even when I was a little girl I wanted to be like her.</span>Eleyna smiled imaging her mother as she had seen her when she was a child.<span style="color: blue">She was strong, always fearless. I remember holding her hand and looking up at her, and she was just unshakable, she was invincible. I knew that as long as she was there, everything would be alright. I don't know... I guess I'm not much like her at all.</span><br/><br/>Eleyna looked out across the grass field. They were nearly at the tree line.

It was a looming cavern, worn into the side the rock face over eons. The shoals gave way just before it to deep water, and to reach it Audree would need to swim to its mouth. Whether there was anything within to stand and walk on was unknown. She couldn't see anything within from where she was. There was an ominousness quality to the cavern's gaping mouth.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
