[Naveta Lejori]

Now it was time to go to the next closest of the areas that she could get to.  The closest would probably be that weird flying mechanical castle that was floating over the island, but she didn't actually have the means to fly there right now.  A few of her pokemon could float, but there was no way they could carry her along with them.  For now, she was going to head to an area that was a bit further, but would at least be easier to get into than the Dragon's Den was.  Instead of having to go up a waterfall, she just had to smash some ice and walk in.  No problem at all.

Once she reached the area she came across last time she was here, she released Rayleigh from his pokeball.  Naveta was still a little bit nervous that he somehow managed to find her again after all these years, but ultimately her paranoia was outweighed by how happy she was to have been reunited with him after she had to leave him behind a few years back.  She could tell he felt the same way too, even if his more serious demeanor made it hard to read sometimes.

"Alright Rayleigh, go break some ice!"

With a nod and one swift punch, the ice shattered, creating a path for her to go through.  The two of them walked through, but once they were on the other side and there were no other ice blocks in sight, Naveta turned back to the lucario.

"It's really good to have you here again," she picked up his pokeball.  "You should stay safe in here though.  It lowers the odds that anything'll happen this time.  It'd really suck if we got separated again right after you got back here."

For a moment, Rayleigh looked a little offended, but then nodded clearly understanding the situation.  With that, she returned the lucario and began her exploration.  Sadly, this place didn't look all that different from the rest of the mountain.  It was certainly more precarious, but that was about it.

This was probably the first time during her survey that she was legitimately bored.  Sure, there were some absolutely gorgeous formations, and some interesting chasms that would need to be investigated later, but for the most part it was just like the rest of the caves.  It was a little disappointing given how much more difficult it was to get here.  The pokemon had proved elusive as well.  She tried to capture a few, only to have them scuttle off into places where it would be very difficult to follow.  In the end, it just wasn't worth the effort.

Naveta figured she'd be heading home empty handed, when she noticed a wild pokemon blocking off the entrance with more ice blocks so most people couldn't get in.  It didn't look like she had been noticed yet, so this was the perfect opportunity to at least get something for her trouble.  She quietly released Arkose.  She wasn't sure if Arkose was necessarily the best pokemon to take this one down, but she was certainly better than Cirque when it came to understanding subtlety.  Naveta just nodded at Arkose and motioned towards the wild pokemon.  His mouth curved into an enigmatic smile, as he began to collect some energy in front of him to fire at the wild pokemon.  One shot to the back was enough.  Even if it wasn't enough to knock out the wild pokemon, it was enough to weaken it enough to capture.
