Seems things are beginning to thaw here… The warmth of an early spring sun taking the edge off the bitter, windy remnants of winter as she spotted some dark coloured rocks poking out of the white canopy that surrounded her, Sophie Sequoia shivered a little but also smiled as she crossed the slowly melting blanket of snow close to Aleal.
As I recall, in summer things are quite different here, so once things begin to melt it must be somewhat undeniable…? Remembering the time when she had first gotten to Veria only a few months short of a year previously and how the now white landscape was covered in greenness, the pink haired young woman remembered her days as a rookie professor and chuckled gently. Bumping into a cantankerous Camerupt and a competitive Oricorio only the opening chapters of that verse, she had found a number of beloved research samples and a lot of good memories during that time.
It feels almost like the northern climbs of Veria are two different places that ‘swap’ for a break or holiday or something… Having been to this region briefly when the weather was at its bitterest and been a little bit disappointed to find the features she remembered hidden, this was an encouraging sign for Sophie to find, but not the reason she had come here today. While she was seeking that lay beneath the snowy canopy, it was not the grass and plants that slept and waited for the strength of the sun to revive them. No, it was much deeper down.
“Here we are…” Finally coming upon what she searched for and looking at an outcrop of stone with an unfilled doorway and stepping inside, as the wind abated thanks to the shelter that this cave provided, Sophie sighed and pulled down the fluffy hood she had been sporting. “The mysterious Aleal Caverns…” Looking around herself with her head unrestricted to a place that people had once assumed to be an extension of the strange tunnels that ran under the region, more recently geological experts had seemed to note that this place was an entirely separate realm.
I wonder what might be hiding in this frozen earth? The knowledge of a new place not quite what had drawn the girl here, however, the reason Sophie had decided to attend this place was largely because of rumours that the realm was a treasure trove for fossils. An ecologist by speciality and curious to see what once might have called this ‘bipolar’ region its home, Miss Sequoia took out a flashlight and began to study the walls around her, wondering just what secrets and curiosities she might find in the rock…

I wonder if there’s anything hiding below the surface? Frowning slightly as she ran her finger across the ‘seams’ that made up different geological era’s in the rocks in front of her, Sophie ran the light of her torch across her surroundings and decided that light and vision weren’t quite doing the job she hoped it would. In that case, I have just the 'helper' in mind... Not having found much with the ‘penetration’ that dim light and her own eyes could provide, the pink haired girl pulled a Pokéball from her belt and tossed it into the air, releasing something in a flash of bright light.
“This seems more like your kind of place, Hertz…” Releasing a small fluttering mammal that most would recognise as a bat, Sophie petted the yellow eyed creature she had released, gently scratching her partner around his large ears which he appeared to appreciate. Smiling gently as her fingers moved to the forehead of her pet, she indulged the creature with a little spot of affection before they set about their task, her Noibat giving soft squeaking noises of pleasure as she did.
“Heheheeh, so, you think you could do me a little favour? Use that nice voice and big set of ears you have to see if you can find anything unusual nestled in the rock?” Gesturing toward the walls around her once the friendly gesture subsided and indicating the intent for which he had been summoned, Sophie hoped that the sonar-like abilities of Hertz might be able to ‘spot’ things that she could not. Confident that the sensitive ears of her bat might be able to sense things buried beneath the rock walls that she could not see, Miss Sequoia waited as her partner began to bellow out noise she could not hear, but he certainly could…

“Ungh!” A small, single handed pick in her hand as she gave a slight grunt, Sophie Sequoia sent the sharp-tipped tool slamming into the wall and cracked the stone that she hit with one hard smack. Striking the area over and over as her winged ally flapped gently behind her, the young woman let pieces of rubble drop around her feet as she dug into the surface that her big eared friend had indicated there might have been something strange inside.
“Cooooome… On!” Finally managing to chip through the rock enough to get to what had been indicated to her, with a little bit of a wrenching motion Miss Sequoia managed to prize something that seemed to have a different feel from its surroundings, and assumed was what Hertz had led her to. “Sooo… Do you think it's coal?” Lifting the small flashlight she was carrying into her mouth as she looked the item over and saw a dull coloured black rock, the young woman wondered if she had stumbled across a vein of fossilized plant matter.
No… Doesn’t seem to give off any traces of soot or carbon at all? Seems more scratch resistant? Frowning as she dusted the item with her fingers and saw that no kind of dark colour was rubbing off onto her fingers, the blue eyed beauty frowned for a second before giving the rock she had discovered a gentle squeeze. Seeming unyielding in her grip, far too lacking in fragility to be a simple lump of burnable black stuff, Sophie was forced to revise her initial estimation to something a little less functional and a little more fashionable.
“I’d say it might be a piece of Onyx, I’ve never really seen it unpolished before, at least not outside of pictures?” Slipping the torch from her mouth and looking toward the bat that had landed on her shoulder whilst she had been studying the stone, Miss Sequoia was tempted to try and crack the rock open with her pick to see if there were any stripes within the stone to confirm things, but decided against it.
“Well, it’s a nice find all the same, even if it isn’t exactly what we were looking for?” Opting to keep the sample whole and take it to a jeweller in Aleal instead, Sophie shook her head and tucked the tangerine-sized lump into one of the pockets on her wintery jacket, smiling at Hertz for a moment and patting his head gently for the help he had been offering her. “Now, shall we see what else we can find?” Happy to have found something that might have had some value but more interested in things that may be useful for her research, with a grin Miss Sequoia nodded at her ally and decided to scan for their next little piece of treasure, wondering what else his sonar might discover…

“Well, this time I don't think we’ve been quite as lucky?” Another patch of rock having been liberated from the wall to reveal something with a rubber sole and what looked to be a leather body, Sophie gave a slight sigh as she pulled a curious but largely useless item from the surface. Holding up something that one might have been more at home being fished from a dirty river or swamp, Miss Sequoia frowned as she found herself confronted by the classic consolation prize that was the old boot.
“How did this even get stuck in a cave wall?” The most interesting thing about the item which seemed to have its base barely hanging on by a few threads being where it was found, the pink haired girl flashed her torch between the item and the spot that had housed it thanks to a sense of momentary curiosity about a mystery that might never be solved. Maybe a Psychic Pokémon Teleporting it or something? Speculating silently to herself as she turned the item over and felt some fragments of rock fall out in the form of sand, Sophie wondered if it had been used by a trainer or even a monster on its own when trying to hone their power, but had no real proof to confirm this. Confused by her find but not overwhelmingly invested in it, with another sigh she tossed the battered piece of footwear away and found her attention was drawn by a small whine behind her.
“Aw, it’s OK Hertz… I know you’re doing your best so don’t be upset, sweetie…” The big, golden eyes of her partner looking rather upset to have found something that was apparently useless, after a shake of her head Sophie cupped her hands around the waist of her fluttering friend and pulled him into her arms gently. Cuddling the creature affectionately and trying to reassure him that she didn’t hold the worthless find she had dug up against him, with a hand running down his back Miss Sequoia cooed gently like she was holding a child or a puppy, hoping to ease his feeling.
“We’ll find something special eventually, I’m sure!” Deciding to keep her little bat buddy in her hands for a minute or two to help comfort him as she delved a bit deeper into these northern caves, the pink haired girl forced a little bit more optimism out of herself as she clasped her critter tenderly. Hoping that the rumours were true and they did indeed have an awesome find sitting somewhere in these chilly tunnels, Sophie hummed softly as she continued with her Noibat in one arm and torch in the other…

“One more strike should have it…” A surface before her that was already carrying more than one split that had been inflicted by the hammer-like tool in her hand, the item she had seen quite a bit of use today was swung by Sophie at the latest cave wall she had been investigating and shattered the stone with a rather satisfying crack. Piece of debris exploding outward to reveal the rocky layers that sat beneath, Miss Sequoia let out a small sigh as her flying friend settled on her shoulder, the two of them scouring the area that had been opened up even before the girl managed to flash a stretch of light across it. Though, even when she did, it didn’t seem to help them much.
“Huuuuh… Where’s it hiding, you were so sure this time?” The femme frowning as she found not even the hint of an old boot on this occasion, on her shoulder the girl’s chiropteran companion wiggled his ears and snout in an anxious fashion, clearly taking this struggle for success somewhat personally. “Hertz?” Sophie sagging slightly and resting her hand on her hip as she discovered nothing tucked away in the wall, after a squeak from her Noibat she found him now diving for the wall and twitching his nose gently, seeming to try and ‘sniff out’ what seemed to be absent.
“It’s okay, Kanto wasn’t built in a day…” The young woman curious but also worried by the behaviour of her bat-like buddy, she reached out with a gentle hand to reassure her partner but before she could place it upon his body, Hertz dropped to the ground. Snuffling his way through the pieces of stone that had broken away one by one light some sort of scent hound before finally settling on one that seemed to offer something that seemed a little different, his big yellow eyes looked up to her in a pleading fashion as his hand propped up a pebble that compared to his tiny size seemed like a trophy.
“What have you got there, then?” Sophie tucking her hair behind her ear before ducking down to take what her Pokemon had offered, with a small crease in her brow Miss Sequouia turned over the piece of chipped rock and shone her torch across it as she studied the item, before suddenly gasping. “Is this… A Z-Stone?” The blue eyes of the beauty growing wider as a diamond shaped gem gave off a subtle shine from within several pieces of flint or granite that contained it, with a small grunt the girl pushed the debris from the item as best she could and held it up to the light once again and smiling.
“Heeheehee, see, told ya we’d find something great!” Beaming happily as she became more and more sure of her guess the longer she looked at the pointy stone in her fingers, with a chuckle the professor looked down at her bat and nudged him gently. Hertz having been staring at her with a look of curiosity and hope as she had been studying the item, the words and playful gesture seemed to reassure the little Noibat and a slow smile spread across his face.
“Excellent work, Hertzy~” Sophie, giddy at their find and grinning from ear to ear picking up her Pokémon partner as she pocketed the stone to inspect a little more closely in the lab, with a smirk she pulled her big eared friend close to her mouth and laid a small but sweet kiss on top of his head, knowing that this rare find was more his effort than her own…
