We're painted red to fit right in Quite the collection for the beginning training, and Honoka's answer would earn a third, much longer glance as Elinda's attention returned to her, this time actually looking over the younger trainer. Skarmory aside, those were not easy Pokemon to train - the Dragon types in particular as Elinda had inlaws from Blackthorn and knew exactly how much effort went into raising their teams. While not intended as an insult, fact of the matter was that Elinda had assumed she'd be doing most of the heavy lifting on this job. Now, though? Quite the opposite, and it forced her to completely reevaluate the younger trainer and her abilities. That said, Honoka probably could've completed this job on her own. With two people? Elinda was almost wishing she hadn't sent Beldum off to find the other locals. "Well..." Elinda started, taking a deep breath and a moment to glance back at the Drapion, gears turning again as she ran over the idea in her head one more time. Yes, this could work. "Assuming you're both fine with it, I think I'd like to take on Skarmory now, perhaps borrow Sneasel while I'm at it. Fighting Drapion's out of the question, but if we can slow him down enough someone can bait him away while the second person makes a run for the herbs at the base of the tree there. If your Dratini can hit him with a Thunder Wave Goomy should be able to guard both of you from the initial counter attack. Given that Drapion can't fly I should be able to draw him away with Skarmory, Sneasel can use Taunt for good measure if that doesn't work." Elinda continued, eyes now back on the Poison type in the clearing. It should work. The main concern was what would happen if Drapion didn't go for the bait as they currently didn't have a way of beating a Pokemon quite that strong. Goomy could guard against one, maybe two attacks if they were lucky. If the Pokemon didn't leave the clearing, though, they'd be in trouble. Elinda wasn't particularly concerned about evading the beast with a Flying type on hand and given how large the trees in the forest were, but anyone caught on the ground was going to be in for a bad time if Drapion decided to stick around or take a particular dislike to a single individual. "Bit of a risk, but we need him away from the tree and can't afford to fight him that close to the plants we were sent to grab."@tag |

Elinda scrutinized Honoka when she listed her Pokemon, making her wonder if she'd said something off, or something? It didn't seem to be a bad stare, just that she was staring a little more than before, when she hadn't been. It didn't last long enough to make her uncomfortable, Elinda going back to thinking about what they could do after Honoka had listed her Pokemon and their moves. She glanced back at the Drapion through the bushes again, and Honoka was curious about what was going on in her head. She blinked and looked to the Skarmory, who looked at her in the same turn and made a small nod. Honoka shrugged. It was fine with her honestly. "Yeah, that's fine with me. Sneasel is...." She was trying to put it nicely. "He's stubborn and he's a pickpocket, but if you give him something to respect he'll work just fine with you. He's not bad, just very set in his ways and likes to pick fights sometimes. Just as a heads up. He can be a handful, but if you can handle Steel types you should be just fine." She unsnapped two of her Pokeballs from her belt and held the small orbs out to Elinda. A Cherish Ball which held the Sneasel and a Luxury ball that belonged to the Skarmory. She pointed out which was which as she handed Elinda the balls. "Do you think we can keep it distracted long enough to get the herbs? What if it goes off after the Skarmory or Sneasel, but notices someone in the clearing and comes right back?" It was a sound plan, if the Drapion decided to cooperate. Honoka would be glad to have a backup, though, too, in case it didn't work, or something went awry. She nodded to the Cherish ball. "If it goes after Skarmory, we could get Sneasel in there to help nab some of the herbs. He's light fingered and good at it, so it wouldn't take him any time to snatch up what we need, and Dratini could Extreme Speed him out of there if need be, if the Drapion doesn't decide to cooperate. Or, if you need him to get the Drapion out of here, my Dratini is big enough to Extreme Speed one of us, too." Well. He was big enough to do that with Honoka, since she was fairly small. He could probably manage it fine with Elinda too, being just over 5 feet in length himself. Sneasel would probably be ideal for that, being considerably smaller than either trainer, but there were other options available should they need it. MADE BY VEL OF GS

We're painted red to fit right in Pickpocket Sneasel? That was a new one. They generally didn't have a good reputation to begin with given their habit of stealing eggs from other Pokemon, but going after humans was certainly different. All that meant was that she'd have to check her few belongings when this was over, and unless it took her Nav Elinda would be able to track down Honoka at a later date to reclaim whatever was stolen, anyways. Besides, a trinket or two was a small price to pay for the safety of another and a difficult job completed... even if the goal was to place herself in harm's way to get it done. Well, relatively speaking, anyways. As for Honoka's concerns... "That's the plan. Skarmory can fly and Drapion can't. Unless someone's had a chance to use TMs on it - and I doubt it - all Drapion should have are close quarters attacks. They're physical brawlers, and the only moves that have any sort of distance are all Poison type. Skarmory will be fine, and considering that she'll be carrying me I shouldn't be in any danger, either. That leaves you free to get the herbs after I draw it off. Worst case scenario Goomy can use Protect, buy you and Dratini the second or two I need to get its attention with Sneasel." Elinda responded, taking a moment to consider the ideas Honoka put forth and taking the two offered Pokeballs. Ideas weren't bad ones, but they couldn't risk Drapion sticking around in the clearing - if it went for Sneasel while it was going after the herbs that would be it if the attacks hit the Pokemon or the plants. A potentially prolonged fight wasn't going to work, either. Elinda was fairly confident in her ability to shake a single paralyzed opponent off her tail if she needed to, and it would be easier to get back to the lab if they didn't have to worry about the Drapion deciding to follow them from the clearing. Truth be told a lot could go wrong with either plan, but with Taunt in play they could at least minimize the risks. "I'm going to make a break for it, get as far across the clearing as I can before waking the Drapion. Soon as I do you'll need to hit it with Thunder Wave from as far away as you possibly can, after that it's going to be on me. Soon as the coast is clear you should be able to grab the plants and head back to the lab, I shouldn't be far behind you." Elinda continued, taking a deep breath for a moment and waiting for Honoka's reply. @tag |

Ok so she'd thought of that possibility, too. That was good, they were on the same page in that regard. She nodded. Elinda's plan sounded pretty solid. If it went according to plan, it should be a quick in and out to grab the herbs without anyone getting hurt. Maybe just making the Drapion angry for a bit, but that never hurt anyone really. "Ok, that sounds like it should work fine. I'll be as quick as I can with the herbs so you don't need to hold its attention for long." She paused for a moment. "And if you're somehow not right behind me? Do you have a backup to get out should something go awry?" She was ready whenever Elinda was, but that was something to think about too. She wasn't doubting Elinda's capability to get in and out, it was more than wild Pokemon can be unpredictable and, well, shit happens. "I'm ready when you are." She pulled out another Pokeball, releasing her Dratini just behind them so they could go whenever. She would give the Pokemon a very quick, quiet rundown of what they were going to do when Elinda gave the cue. The Dratini seemed to understand, and understood the gravity of the situation. Both of them were glad that the Dratini had Extreme speed, and that he was bigger than an average Dratini and that Honoka was tiny compared to most people. MADE BY VEL OF GS

Let's do it "That's Beldum's job." Elinda simply answered, throwing the other trainer a self confident smirk before sprinting out from the bushes in a single surge of motion with Skarmory moving to follow after a brief delay. Truthfully speaking? Elinda was perfectly aware that her answer was probably not entirely satisfactory, nor did it likely address Honoka's concerns. At the same time, though, planning these kinds of things out was tedious. Elinda could do it and had done it - one didn't get far as a trainer without the skills - but at the same time it was simply more fun to wing it. More challenging, and challenge was what she thrived on. She had an exit strategy and enough of a plan was in place to ensure that Honoka remained safe and got the plans that Dr. Logan needed, but everything else was Elinda's problem and that was exactly the way she liked it. She had the tools and the team needed, and trusted Beldum enough to be sure that he'd come up with something if her own plans fell through or her improvisation skills failed. After all, it'd been over twenty years and he'd yet to fail her. Boots stamping across the soft forest floor as Elinda continued to run out into the clearing, the Drapion seemed to be fast asleep until the trainer passed within roughly fifteen feet of the beast - all he did at that point, though, was shift in his slumber. Making for a wide arc around the Poison type, the blond would only slow for the briefest moment to scoop up a clod of earth as she began approaching the far side of the clearing opposite Honoka... and then the ball of soil and rock in her hand would be sent speeding towards the sleeping Pokemon with surprising force as Elinda skid to a stop and pivoted, putting the full torque of her upper body into the throw. Jolting with the impact, the Drapion gave an angry grumble as he woke and started up, initially unsure of what was attacking him until catching a glimpse of the Skarmory following the blond's path and only just then catching up. Lumbering about to face the perceived threat, Drapion would unknowingly turn his back on Honoka's position as he started edging forward, wary but not yet angry enough to leave his spot. @tag |

Honoka huffed as Elinda went out of her line of sight. She'd just have to trust that she could take care of herself. If she knew what kind of nastiness the Drapion was, then surely she was at least somewhat capable of taking care of herself. And if she really needed it, Honoka was sure she had something up her sleeve to help her should it come to it. She rolled her shoulders and shuffled quietly to the edge of the bushes that Elinda had been peering through a moment before. The pushed aside a small branch slightly, watching the Drapion for her signal to attack. Honoka watched as a ball of dirt would hurtle at the sleeping Drapion, thudding satisfyingly hard into its side, jolting it awake. Honoka would glance back at her Dratini, inclining her head at the Pokemon in a motion to say, 'get ready.' She turned back in time to see the Drapion catch sight of something and start turning toward it, leaving its backside unknowingly open to attack. Obviously it wasn't expecting anything to come at it from behind. Honoka smirked slightly. She'd edge into the clearing quietly, her Dratini slithering along easily behind her, barely making a sound. From this distance, they shouldn't be noticed until the attack. She half turned back to her Pokemon. "Thunder wave it when you're ready. Elinda will see it and distract it after that. Ready?"The Dratini would rear up beside Honoka and sparks would emit from it for a moment before the wave of lightning flashed close along the ground toward the Drapion. It would be a direct hit, the Pokemon not knowing there was anything else to dodge, too concentrated on whatever threw the dirt. The Drapion would writhe and thrash, sparks coursing over the surface of it's carapace, thrashing its head to find the attacker, before finally spotting Honoka and Dratini. Honoka blanched slightly, but would freeze, trusting that it would be paralyzed and that Elinda would grab its attention soon. MADE BY VEL OF GS

Let's do it Perfect.The moment Drapion had its back turned towards their starting position a bolt of electricity would jolt out to strike the larger Pokemon. Confused and caught completely off guard as its body ceased to listen for several seconds, the Dark type would keel over and struggle to regain its balance - and in doing so, begin turning his head back to locate the new attacker. Oh, no. None of that, now. Elinda thought, Skarmory's wings flaring as it braked to a hard stop by the trainer as she popped open Sneasel's Pokeball to release the Pokemon directly in front of her. "Taunt the FATASS!" Elinda shouted, anticipatory grin flashing across the blond's face as the order was simultaneously given to Sneasel yet the last word directed as much at the smaller Pokemon as it was their much larger opponent. With her voice raised it was impossible for the Drapion not to hear it, hesitating with a glance back towards the older trainer but attention still on the one that had actually harmed it. It wasn't until Sneasel followed through with the command and a very similar smirk that Drapion finally took notice as many were prone to when insulted in such a colorful fashion, not to mention an ancient and arcane one handed gesture the Sneasel made just to add icing on top of the cake. Eyes snapping back and attention now fully on those issuing the open challenge to both him and his domain, Drapion would immediately lose interest in Honoka as it turned again to begin lumbering towards the other trainer at the best speed it could manage. Under normal circumstances any sane trainer would've probably fled into the dense underbrush and by extension cover, or called forth a stronger Pokemon to fight if they were able. Elinda did neither of those things. While she wasn't able to feel the intentions of the oncoming and very angry Drapion the same could not be said of the two by her side then and there. They might not have been her's but in that moment they were on the same side, and even the smallest degree of mutual trust was all Elinda needed to sense their intentions and to return them with her own - and with Drapion only a handful of meters out, all three would split off in different directions, Elinda bolting to Drapion's left, Sneasel right and Skarmory upwards. Left with three potential targets to chase and only able to pick one the Pokemon couldn't help but hesitate, giving Elinda the opportunity to throw a knowing glance back in Honoka's direction with the hope that she'd gone for the herbs while the Drapion was distracted. Until she did that they needed to keep his attention - the sooner they got what they came for the sooner they could lose the larger Pokemon. Drapion, however, would finally pick a target a moment later, choosing to break to his right after the Pokemon that had issued the most insulting challenge. Already quite a bit slower than its smaller target, the paralysis from Thunder Wave was hardly helping matters as Sneasel nimbly darted ahead of the Poison type as it struggled to make its body move as fast as it normally could. Things would only make Drapion's day worse as something small and metallic suddenly dove from the treetops ahead, homing in straight on the larger Pokemon's eyes and striking with all the force of a small artillery shell as Beldum's Take Down found its mark. While the level difference was normally too great for the smaller Pokemon to do any real harm, going for the eyes was always a tried and true tactic - all the more so when moving with gravity's assistance and weighing in at nearly three hundred pounds. Dull thud wringing out through the clearing as Beldum rebounded off of Drapion's face at an angle to spin off into the open air under the tree the Ogre Scorpion would keel over for a second time, low roars shaking the air as pain momentarily disoriented it. @tag |

Oh did that Drapion ever look angry. But not as angry as it was going to be when Elinda got her hands on it. Honoka heard her shout, both a command and a distraction in and of itself. It almost didn't want to look away from Honoka and Kin until her Sneasel actually Taunted it. She'd never seen such anger in a wild Pokemon, and boy did it work. It could barely move but still it was trying to get to Elinda and the Pokemon with her as best it could. All three of them bolted in different directions, and Honoka would use that moment to get in behind the Drapion to get the herbs. She nodded at her Dratini and, wrapping one arm around its neck and standing gently on its body, the blue dragon would zip in behind where the herbs were. Making quick work of finding which ones they needed, Honoka would start to grab them, albeit gently, in bunches and stuff them as carefully as she could into her bag. Had she taken the time to look at Elinda, she'd have noticed the look the older trainer gave her when they started moving, but her focus was on getting in, getting the stuff, and getting out. She could heard the commotion as the Drapion picked a target, and glanced up only briefly to make sure that target wasn't her. No, it was going after her Sneasel. Her own attention turned back to the plants, and she would grab a few more handfuls to make sure they had more than enough for the doctor. There would be a sudden, loud metallic THUD as Beldum attacked the Drapion, slowing it further, and the roar the thing emitted would make Honoka flinch slightly. It was very loud, and she was closer than she would have liked to be to the source of that roar, but a few more handfuls and they'd be in the clear. The Drapion would scrape the dirt with its spindly legs in an attempt to get up, dazed and paralyzed as it was. Honoka Didn't know how much longer that was going to last, but she wasn't going to take her time. Another four handfuls and she was motioning her Dratini over so they could get out of there when she heard the Drapion successfully right itself and roar in anger and frustration again. She glanced over her shoulder once, mid climbing on Dratini, to see what it was doing. It was whipping its head back and forth between the three original targets, and now them, having spotted them behind it, but it didn't seem to know which one to go after. Honoka urged her Dratini to go before it could decide, and they shot off as fast as he could slither without using extreme speed. She didn't turn around again to see if the Drapion had chosen her, not daring in case that made up its mind. If it did, Honoka hoped Elinda would be able to lend her a hand in distracting it again. She also hoped, somewhat desperately, that all of them would make it out of there alright and meet back up at the lab where it was safe. MADE BY VEL OF GS

Let's do it Not quite, eh? As Beldum rebounded from the larger Pokemon's face and the Drapion struggled to get back up on his feet despite significant pain and disorientation Elinda would catch the wayward glance from Honoka. For the time being it seemed like she was doing exactly what she needed to, and that look over in the Drapion's direction didn't seem to slow the younger trainer's hands as she was carefully stuffing the herbs they'd gone there to collect into her bag. So far, so good, and all that was left after that was for them to get out of there. There'd be an order to that, though, at least if they wanted to do that safely. Elinda had a plan for that, but first Honoka needed to get out and as she seemed to about finish with her task the Drapion had finally climbed back onto his feet. Dazed, confused and very angry, the Poison type's head would whip around as he focused on every individual in the clearing in turn, evidently not sure which one to go for first. Oh, couldn't afford to have any indecision on that. Hand coming up to her mouth, the grin on Elinda's face was momentarily obscured as two fingers were brought to her lips to let out an ear piercing whistle that sounded clear through the open space under the large tree. More than enough to get the Dark type's attention as his head swung around to locate the painful sound, and his attention further divided as Beldum took the sound as a signal to attack again. Not that it was likely to actually hurt such a strong opponent, but Drapion would find himself tumbling to the ground again as Beldum's second Take Down swiped one of its spindly legs out from under the Pokemon. During all that scuffle it seemed like Honoka had finished what they'd gone there to do, and judging from the fact that Elinda couldn't see her in the clearing anymore the older trainer had to assume that Dratini had already gotten both of them out of there. That was that, then. "Skarmory, ride if you'd please!" Elinda called out, loud enough for Beldum to hear as Elinda held one arm up for the large bird to take hold of. As the Flying type began to swoop down with talons reaching out, though, the blond's free hand would be pulling a Pokeball from her coat - not one that belonged to any of those present, though. Not yet, anyways. They still needed a distraction to safely get out themselves, and the empty Pokeball would be sent flying at the downed Drapion, still too busy struggling to right himself as the orb bounced off and sucked him inside. Not that she was looking to capture it - Elinda had a feeling that the Pokemon was far too strong for a regular Pokeball even in a weakened state, which meant that it would buy them all of a couple seconds before he broke free. Hopefully that would be enough, though. Grabbing hold of her arm, Skarmory's wings would beat downwards as she began to lift her new trainer up towards the forest canopy, Beldum rising up to follow them and Sneasel following shortly after as Elinda recalled the Ice type to its own Pokeball. All three had barely reached the underside of the tree before the Pokeball on the ground below finally broke after a mere two shakes, Drapion popping free. By that point, though, it was too late and they were home free, the tree's canopy quickly obscuring the group from the confused Drapion's vision as they emerged into the sun lit sky above. "Not too far, just far enough. Towards the clearing we came from before, if you don't mind." Elinda said after a moment, contented sigh leaving her as the adrenaline rush began to fade. While Skarmory didn't bother to reply verbally, the Steel type definitely heard her as she altered course in the requested direction, Beldum falling in behind them. Free hand clipping Sneasel's ball to her belt for good measure, it would then dip into her pocket before pulling out her PokeNav. Searching through the recently added contacts, the blond would only take a moment in the well lit space to find Honoka's number and allow the Nav to dial it. @tag |

She never found out which target the Drapion picked, or if it even got a chance to, when she heard another dull metallic THUD. She assumed the Drapion was down again, and that let her get to safety. They hadn't exactly specified where they would meet, or anything about the after, really, so she had to hope Elinda got a hold of her. She remained standing with one foot on her Dratini, though they had slowed down now. Kin didn't mind carrying her around, and this was the most effective way to do it. She always wore soft soled shoes for him, too, which he appreciated. But he'd have carried her anywhere regardless of what kind of shoes she was wearing. They'd gone past the clearing they met in, and were just under halfway back to the lab when Honoka's Nav went off. She forgot she'd even had it on her, and nearly fell off Dratini from the sound startling her. She pulled it out of where she'd tucked it inside her pocket and opened it to see Elinda's face on the other end. Well, that was one way to do it. She held her Nav out in front of her as best she could while balancing on a moving Dratini. "Hey. You got out of there ok?" She would pause for the older woman's answer, and because Dratini made a sharp corner that made her wobble. "We didn't really discuss where to meet, so I figured I'd just get as far away from there toward the lab as I could. I think..." Another pause, and she glanced at her surroundings as they whooshed by. "I think we're about halfway back. Can you catch up, or do you want us to wait? We should be ok here, now." Dratini would slow again slightly, making it easier for Honoka to balance and talk into her Nav at the same time. MADE BY VEL OF GS

Let's do it "Everyone got out fine, no worries. Skarmory's currently carrying me towards the lab with Beldum in tow, got your Sneasel here as well. Assuming you did as well since you were able to pick up?" Elinda said, smiling a bit to herself at the sound of Honoka picking up the call. All's well that ends well, from the sound of it. Honoka didn't sound particularly stressed or injured, and if she got out fine then it meant the older trainer had more than bought enough time for them to get a comfortable head start. Paralyzed as he was the Drapion wouldn't be able to catch up even if he could follow the trail, and the Pokemon would likely start to feel too insecure to continue following once he left his own territory. As Honoka replied again it sounded very much like she had the right idea in mind from the start and was already heading back to the lab herself. As good a place to meet up as any, really. Elinda could give Honoka her Sneasel back and they could both trade in their prize for payment all in one go. "Sounds like a plan, no need to wait. Should be there in a couple more minutes myself, not much faster than travel by air. I'll see you there." Elinda continued, waiting only for the younger trainer's response before hanging up and pocketing the PokeNav again lest she accidentally drop it. It wasn't quite like traveling with Metagross but any Pokemon able to fly was usually able to cut a ground trip down to a fraction of the time it would usually take - the shortest path between any two points was usually a straight line, after all. And even though it was a fair distance off their elevation gave Elinda a clear view of their destination off in the distance, rapidly approaching. She was curious to see whether Skarmory would get there first or if Dratini would, but the question was largely academic as Elinda felt them beginning to lose altitude, Skarmory altering her flight path to start bringing them down towards the small building at the edge of the rainforest for a landing. @tag |

Honoka was very glad to hear that they had gotten out of there alright. She hadn't doubted her, but she'd worried all the same for all of their safety. "Yeah, we did ok. Not gonna lie, that was pretty freaking scary. But also, in a way, fun. Talk about an adrenaline rush." She chuckled into the Nav and Dratini sped up again since she'd regained her balance. She went to nod at the Nav, then remembered that Elinda couldn't see her through it. "Yeah ok, sounds good. I'll see you there!" They hung up shortly thereafter, and Dratini sped up to full speed again, making their way out of the rainforest. There was a whoosh overhead, and when Honoka looked up she spotted the Skarmory carrying Elinda. She waved, grinning, but didn't know if they saw her under the canopy or not. A few more minutes of green and they were out of the rainforest and basically on the front lawn of the research lab. It was still some 200 meters off, but close enough. Honoka would see Elinda dipping down to land as she and Dratini exited the forest. The ground now flat and unobstructed, Honoka would put her other foot on her Pokemon's back and wrap both arms around his neck, which was his cue to use Extreme Speed. The world rushed by as just a blur, and they were suddenly pulling up in front of the lab just as Elinda was dismounting Skarmory. Honoka grinned at her and stepped off Kin, running a hand through her wind blown hair to try to neaten it some, consequently getting some sap in her hair that she had forgotten what was on her arm. "Good to see you guys are ok." She held her back out a little ways from her. "I think I grabbed plenty, hopefully he won't need to venture in there for a while, now."MADE BY VEL OF GS

Let's do it Elinda couldn't help but find herself grinning again at Honoka's mention of the adrenaline rush. Oh, if only she knew. Elinda hadn't any idea of what to expect when she'd first set out as a trainer herself, but it had been that feeling above all else that had gotten her hooked on the lifestyle. She'd never really been much of a fighter in the traditional sense growing up, but all of that had changed after first setting out with Metagross and Aggron. It wasn't something so easily explained in words but the sensation was an addictive one. To throw yourself at a challenge, asking the question of who was better, you or them? After everything that had happened in Tokai Elinda had simply assumed she'd outgrown that need, but this job had kicked that idea in the teeth. This was just supposed to be a retirement tour of sorts. But now? Elinda wasn't so sure anymore. Regardless, it seemed like they were about done here. With the lab in view and the ground fast approaching, the blond would angle her feet as Skarmory brought them low enough to hit the ground quite literally running only a few meters from the lab, recalling the Steel type to its ball in the process for a smooth landing. Not far behind her was Beldum, and from the look of it Honoka as well. The younger trainer wasn't at all far behind as she and her Dratini crossed the wide open space separating the lab from the forest in a protracted burst of speed only to stop a few meters away. From the look of it both were completely unharmed, minus a bit of tree sap that Honoka accidentally seemed to rub into her hair - all things considered, though, not a bad day. "That was the idea. Oh, right. Believe this is yours." Elinda started, grin still plastered across her face before remembering that one of the Pokeballs on her belt technically didn't belong to her. Hand dipping down and plucking the orb off of the clip, the older trainer would give it a casual, underhanded toss towards Honoka. "Glad you had the Sneasel, he was a big help. Don't think he stole anything but I've got your number if anything turns up missing. Feel like getting paid?" Elinda continued, assuming that Honoka would catch the ball before it hit the ground - if not, though, no harm would be done. Pokeballs were fairly resilient and the ground was soft. If anything it would probably just let the Pokemon out for some well deserved free time after the whole episode involving that Drapion. Turning around, Elinda would start to approach the lab, Beldum in tow. @tag |
