[Luckily, Radley also has his Skitty, who has learned Flash. She lights up the area and leans over the hole.]

I see you! I've got a rope in here I can lower down....

[He goes through his bag until he finds it. He sends it through the hole.

His Pokemon warble assurances to Serenity's that she'll be okay.]

[oncewasblind]

( when the flash illuminates the cave, serenity feels her anxiety slowly ebbing away. she can see. that's all she needed, really, to calm herself. she sniffles and waits until the rope is hanging down far enough that she can grasp it in her hands! )

Th, Thanks...! I... I've got it!

( she wraps the rope around her waist and ties it as tight as she can manage while her eevee trills and reluctantly believes the other pokemon that serenity will be okay. she's still rather worried after all! )

I think it's secured... I'll start climbing, okay?

[crystalmaster]

Sure! Come on.

[Radley holds on tight.

His Eevees have complete confidence in him.]

[oncewasblind]

( she does her best to walk up the length of the hole's wall and manages, with his help, to get to the edge where she'd slipped and grunts, pressing her gut against it as she drags herself up back onto solid ground. she's dirty and feeling a bit worse for wear, but, she's alive and out of the frightening darkness ( well, the darker-darkness ) at least. )

Th, Thank you! I'm sorry for causing you to have to help me like that, I didn't realize the ground here wasn't all that safe... ( she breathes a heavy sigh of relief. thanks to flash, she can see her saviour and smiles a bit sheepishly to him. ) What's your name? I'd like to thank you properly at least.

[crystalmaster]

It's fine. I'm glad we were here. The ground giving out was a surprise to me too.

[He's glad he knows, although he wishes he hadn't found out in this way.]

I'm Radley.

[He looks like a biker punk, black leather and jewelry. But he's harmless.]

[oncewasblind]

I'm Serenity Wheeler, it's... really good to meet you. Thanks for helping me. ( she puffs a breath in relief once more. serenity is clad in mostly pink attire, looking pretty well like a sweet, friendly young lady. ) Maybe I can buy you a drink of tea or something as thanks?

[crystalmaster]

Serenity Wheeler?

[Radley stares in amazement.]

Joey's sister?

[The offer is momentarily forgotten with this revelation.]

[oncewasblind]

( she finds herself blushing a bit at the stare he's giving her. ) Huh! You know my big brother? Have you seen him? ( oho, the excitement becomes real because !!big brother!! )

[crystalmaster]

Yeah! He talks about you a lot!

[Radley smiles.]

We're pretty good friends.

[oncewasblind]

( she clears her throat lightly with some embarrassment that joey would talk about her so much but she smiles in turn. ) That's amazing! I hope I run into him soon...

[crystalmaster]

I hope so too. Is this how far you've got in your journey? We've been farther and just came here to deliver some eggs in the area. We were heading back when the storm hit.

[oncewasblind]

Deliver eggs? ( she raises her brows but then puts her palms together rather cutely. ) Oh my gosh! Are you a breeder?

[crystalmaster]

Yeah, I am! I breed these sweethearts.

[The Eevees he's brought all warble.]

[oncewasblind]

That's so amazing! I thought about trying my hand a breeding but I just thought the call of being a trainer was too cool to pass up. Joey and his friends are the best of the best when it comes to Duel Monsters and I'm, well, I'm not that great at it... ( a certain, er, "duel" comes to mind. ) ...so I thought I could try my hand at being great at this!

[crystalmaster]

[Radley smiles.]

I get that. Have you started the gym challenge yet?

[oncewasblind]

Ahh, no. I wanted to train Eevee up a little more first.

( she smiles in turn. )

But, gosh! It must be so nice to be surrounded by so many Eevees at all times! What a bunch of adorable little guys and gals!

[crystalmaster]

That's a good idea. I've heard the gyms are pretty tough.

[He grins.]

It sure is! I have 13 total. They're always fun to be around.

[The ones here look proud.]

[oncewasblind]

Yeah, I've heard that too. So I want to be sure that I'm well prepared!

( serenity kneels down to offer her hand out to the few eevees he has with him and coos sweetly to them. )

Awww, you're all just so cute, aren't you? Aww...

[crystalmaster]

Then I'm sure you will be.

[He smiles.

They all coo and warble in delight.]

This is Evie, Evan, Isla, Lily, and Ruby. The Skitty is Cuddles; that's the name she came with.

[He chuckles, rubbing the back of his neck.]

[oncewasblind]

( it's literally a cuteness overload! )

Aaahh...! How can you stand to be around such cuteness! It's so lovely though. You're all terribly adorable, Evie, Evan, Isla, Lily, Ruby and Cuddles!

[crystalmaster]

[Radley laughs.]

It sure is! And at home it's always active. Eevees and kitties running everywhere! My Skitty and my Espurr hooked up and they had a whole batch a while back.

[Isla does one of her favorite tricks, standing on two legs.]

[oncewasblind]

( when isla stands, serenity reaches to pet her head lightly. )

Wow, so you have a bunch of Skitties, too? I love them! They're so pink and cute!

[crystalmaster]

[Isla beams.]

Yeah, they had a litter of five Skitties and an Espurr. They all are really cute!

[oncewasblind]

( she giggles at isla. what a cutie! )

I'd love a Skitty. Pink is definitely my colour and kitties are so cute. Skitties are the being combination of the two! Espurrs are really interesting though.

[crystalmaster]

There's a lady in New Bark Town who just gives them away to good homes. This might be around the time of year when she starts having a lot.

Espurrs are definitely interesting. They stare with those big eyes, but there's so much going on behind them.
