[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

That scrabbling noise doesn't seem to have gotten any farther away.

'Scrabbling'? Is that a third sound down here or do you mean that scuttling to the north?


Frankly and bluntly, Shiva's shocked over having ended up in a dead end. She's not falling into a panic'd state luckily, but her fear increases and causes her mind to think in a rush as she knocks against the wall with emphasis as if she demands entrance from whoever dwells behind a closed door.

"Dead end....", she whispers to herself, "No, wait, what's that...??" She presses herself against the wall of the dead end and mimics eavesdroping, "People.... They're behind this glass, they indeed are, Posei and co., and they're EXCITED! Must have FOUND that Artifact or a hint of it!" She squals in delight, unable to hide her own excitement. "We must get away from here and to them, back to the surface somehow - but how in this desperate and pichtblack darkness??" Obscured by this very blackness, she throws a questioning look over to where she believes Terra and Spira, Heart and Arachnautilus are.

These are my suggestions

• Try to break this glassy dead end with a collective Pokemon attack (Rock Smash at best), which will let in a massive amount of water. Holding our breaths for a bit, we'll then dive and swim through this hole to the surface. Our Pokemon on hand can help us, in may case Azu. Problem: We have no idea how deep below the surface we are, and therefor no idea how long we'd have to swim to reach it. An average human can hold one's breath for one to two minutes (according to Google), I don't know if that's enough? Additionally, if there's something in this water that grabs us during this action, we may be screwed.
  

• Go back to where we started, means where the air currents are. On the way and from there, flying or leviating Pokemon on hand hold contact to the ceiling to alert us if there's a way up, which will hopefully lead us back to an island. Problem: It's increadibly dark, not even a 'Mon's Flash helps. We have to rely on other senses.
  

Hint

I'd prefer the second option if having to choose and if it's safe to do so.
