Onward they all went then. Nothing caused the two Dark Types by Shiva's side to perk up, she was allowed to watch the tunnel wind down further and deeper, always forward and towards their hoped destination, as much as she wanted. There was actually nothing special about the icy walls, but somehow they were still beautiful - so clear and pure, she could see her own image being mirrored in a particular 'polished' part.

It was a peaceful and calm hike, enough time and possibility for Shiva to calm down again from the heroic battle alongside ghostly Captain and his men as well of the finding of a true and legendary HM.


Very intrigued she was as ANOTHER underground lake came into sight, there's one so deep down the earth? How could that be? ...Given the temperatures, it was no suprise to her that it was frozen all together except these pothholes scattered here and there. From the looks of it, these will reveal some of the water running beneath the icy surface, it must be an amazing feeling watch down whithout getting wet, least of all walking on a frozen lake! Another thing she has never experienced before in real due to growing up in a metropolis.

Just as she has recalled both Yena and Dizzy and informed the others of her desire to go and take a closer look at the lake, some noise that strangely reminded her on the stony walls that came down upon her wrong attempt on the stone puzzle in that one tunnel shortly before they started their quest: Immediately jerking her head around in instant shock, she realized that it was Heart who has vanished from eyesight, and these stone walls weren't there before. This only left one conclusion: He was trapped. Behind them. Fear for him made its way through her whole body, and she was almost frozen solid herself: Before she remembered from the depths of her mind that he already made it to get out of a trap from these blasted mischievous Nuzleaf, and these stone walls looked very sturdy. Sadly, she would only be able to do so much to help, but something told her that he can make it. He wasn't alone, he had his Pokemon with him.

Well then, that meant that she could resume what she desired for: Taking a careful walk on the icy lake, with her arms outstretched wide and taking one tiny step after the other, further and further away from the shoreline (not much, only 2 or 3 meters). The ice looked thick enough that'd it carry her. (I'm giving Shiva her 3rd point in Nature Speciality here for 12xp, she probably needs it if she doesn't want to be like Bambi on a frozen lake.)

Something from the corner of her eye caught her attention and caused her to stop: That one part of ice there, not that much away from her: It moved, and from the looks of it it was a POKEMON! Further watching confirmed to her that this was a Bergmite, only awailable far away in a cave in Kalos. Whoahw... Shiva wasn't afraid of it at all, but rather fascinated and very carefully and slowly croached down on the spot, still on the ice. She's only watching, and smiling lightly if the Bergmite returns her gaze. She knows the species is usually wary of humans since they rarely ever see one - how does it react to her only watching and not posing any harm, with no Pokemon beside her?
