Haha, looks like the Pokemon were more brave than their owner. They seemed alright and not minding being alone down here, while Shiva herself was...not that confident to really 'feel fine' down here. But she accepted the job offer, no way that she returns now! If she'd get hurt down here, none would probably come for her help, though. That thought was creepy... But...she wasn't alone down here, was she? Her Pokemon were by her side. They're faithful to her. Somehow, that thought was soothing and provided needed Strength to move on.

...Luckily, she did not get hurt as she felt bold enough to act in the hope to ambush any rats down here. It seemed that it was...the right decision in the end, since that accident fall led her to what seemed to be a nest of the Ratata! How fortunate... Encouraged by that partial success, she packed all the berries away. She was supposed to bring them back on deck and hand them to Fellman, if she was not mistaken.

Whle doing so, she also picked up what seemed to be biting remarks on some of the cardboard containers. Wasn't very hard to cotton on where they originated from. She called out for her magical fox.

"Fennekin, you see that biting remarks here?" *she showes them to fox* "I wish for you to pick up the scent. Since we are hunting for them but they have sports home-field advantage down here, it'll make searching for them much easier. The best thing seems also not only to take the items they stole, but also faint the Rattata to show their beahviour is not accepted, so prepare to counter them, please. If we stumble into any battle, prepare to cast a Lucky Chant. We need that fortune down here."

Just as Shiva was about to get up and move on though, a clear and close(!) snapping sound caught her attention. Pointing the beam of light into that direction, a little scared of what she will see, the source seemed to a real and vivid Totodile. But the first thought she got was that THIS exemplar was not just biting people for fun or playfulness. This exemplar had something intimidating about it.

Before she could decide what to do with it though, she noticed that she was pointing the light onto it and most likely blinding it... Eh... Guess we should prepare for a battle then?

Mechanics:
If we battle feral Totodile, so be it then. Battle start! I'll use Fennekin and new Espurr in the first Round, but will switch out in Round 2.
