[X] Send out Spooky and send that Sableye to sleep! Then Lick it to death!
Alia sent out Spooky in a snap. "Use hypnosis!"
The Sableye snapped at Spooky with it's claws but fell asleep in a heap in a second with a lucky and successful hypnosis. The third lick that Spooky did though woke it up and it scrambled away in a hurry.
"Aaahhh! After it!" She shouted. Running after it, Spooky and Alia barely managed to keep up even though it was injured. It eventually faltered and fell down and she threw a pokeball at it, feeling a little bad for the poor thing. She panted, worn out, and looked up to see a bushy short haired girl in a sundress in front of her. Her black locks were pushed back by a headband and her sundress was made of fine white cloth that seemed to glitter gold in the cave.
" ... You shouldn't be this deep in the cave." The girl said. Her face seemed to be frowning, but Alia couldn't really tell as it hadn't changed at all. She looked around and she was indeed deeper in than she intended to go, where all the stronger pokemon were.
"Ehehehe. Are you a strong trainer? Cause I could really use an escort." Alia said sheepishly.
" ... My brother will be along soon. He will escort us." She said. "My name is Akemi Kibe."
"Oh! I'm Alia." Alia said, offering a handshake to her.
Akemi took it delicately and shook like a limp Magikarp. "It's a pleasure to meet you." It didn't really sound like a pleasure.
"Akemi! I'm done with the surveying!" A older man called out from behind. He was dark skinned unlike Akemi, and had his hair in braids and wore a blue suit. "Who's this person?"
"This is Alia. She encountered me due to pursuing a Sableye." Akemi explained.
"Huh. They're not really any good unless you use a Sablenite." He commented. Alia frowned at him.
"All ghost pokemon are awesome." She defended.
"Sure, sure." He said, shrugging. "I suppose we have to make sure you don't get bombarded with the stronger pokemon around this area?"
Alia nodded, grimacing now. She really didn't like his attitude. They walked out together with the man's Manectric casually batting around the cave pokemon like they were toys. At the exit, he grimaced as he checked his phone.
"That cave has shit reception. Akemi gimme a moment, I have to return these calls." He said, walking away.
Alia admired the setting sun, wondering if she could take on the gym leader now.
" ... this town is so wasteful." Akemi said, softly.
"Eh? What, why?" Alia exclaimed, blinking. She hadn't seen people littering, or anything like that.
"All this land and ocean are wasting away, with no one using it." Alia looked around. Everything looked pretty clean.
