"...so...we're all...h-human...but p-pokemon..."

Karen takes a few deep breaths as she tries to calm down.

"...okay, Karen...you can do this...there's nothing to be afraid of..."

Karen looks down at herself as she processes the fact that she's turned into a Ralts.  If she's a Ralts, then does that mean...

Karen closes her eyes and focuses for a brief moment on the emotions she can feel in her surroundings, takes a few more deep breaths...

...and when she opens her eyes, her breathing has slowed a little and become less heavy.  "...I...I'm not sure what I'm so afraid of, but...I...I think I'll be okay for now..."

It's at that point that Karen realizes something.

There's items on the ground, scattered around wherever they all woke up.

"...hey, uh, guys...I think we must have some dropped some stuff or something."

And indeed, when everyone looks, there are indeed various items on the ground where everyone had woken up.  These are the items that everyone started with.  It's a mixture of several Big Nuggets, berries, and several other miscellaneous items.  It's difficult to carry it all without a bag, but definitely possible, however barely.  Kee actually has enough stuff that he might have to stick it in the Guitar Bag he's carrying, however.

The Shiny Ralts picks up the items that she's fairly certain are hers, looks at the lone exit for this room, then back at the remaining pokemon.

"...alright, so...what now?  I think we've all established that we're humans who have turned into pokemon, hard as that is to believe...we're stuck in this cave with very little light...should we work together to try and find a way out?  I'm not sure how helpful the items I've got might be, though..."

As stated previously, the room has a single exit.  Like so:

Like the Flames she embody in part, Pyra flickers over to Karen's side once they start copping with the shock of becoming a Pokemon, keeping careful and concerned watch in case they may need a little cheerful assistance. Becoming a Pokemon for her was a rather banal affair not worth dwelling on much, compare to her quest, duties, and new life to live, but she does have a bit of an inkling that not everyone might take such a change so well.

Once the sparkling fae expressed they were fine, the playful fiend brightened up immediately and proclaimed "Good, good! Being a Pokemon is not so strange or bad, no, so embrace you new life and be glad!' Their remark about all sorts of Items being on the floor was sufficient distraction for her to divert her attention away from the group for the first time and find the Big Nugget that was laying near were she first awoke, grabbing and holding it with a speculative gleam in her eyes as she 'ooohed' and 'awed' over it. So pretty, this sphere of golden weath was, full of untapped potential for her and everyone!

Now Holding the Big Nugget, the wee lil' demon response to the chrome haired telepath was to immediately nod and skip right on over to the entrance/exit of the room, waving at everyone else to come join her while tucking her treasure by her side.

"Yes, indeed, and affirmative! Let us all join together, and together exit the earth and into the open sky! I'll light the way, so please, follow after me! Our quest awaits, yes, so let us not tarry and stall for any much longer!"
