The youthful steps of the other trainers put them ahead of the trio as they arrived. Berry and Helia were no doubt already inside the cavern at least if not near the ruins depending on how close the entrance was. Alexia had reamined near Star for protection more then anything, she as a soldier and front-liner more then anything else. Not that she did not trust Jioni as his aunt must, but young knights often have big dreams and sometimes overestimate their own power.
"We'll have to be cautious, no telling what we might find or visa versa."
The knight herself had no real light sources other then a torch, her partner was able to see in the dark and the battlefield was never without light of some sort.

As they entered the cavern, Star seemed to consider things carefully before she released Hope. The Miltank let out a playful 'moo~' as Star lovingly pat its head, heading into the cavern alongside Alexia. She knew the path and knew they'd be fine, but had to admit a part of her was swooning at Alexia's dashing knight personality and her instinctive protectiveness. Jioni could see the woman appreciated the knight guarding her. As the lights began to dim as they exited outside Star seemed to consider it. Often when she invoked her glow she used her hands, what both Jioni and Star were most used to. But the fact was she had long since learned to control it. With a slightly mischievous smile she brought a hand up to her pale silver hair and ran her fingers through her soft silken lengths.
Her hair lit up with a soft silver hue like a torch, illuminating the pathways and giving her an ethereal glow about her as her hair lets out motes of glowing light. She stayed closed to Alexia's side, acting as if her glowing like a torch wasn't a big deal. Honestly it wasn't for her family, she used to do this as she tucked her children to bed. But it was convenient in darker area's to be sure.
"I suppose we're not the first ones here, but unless its Aluche I doubt they know the way as easily as we do. It's this way dear to the nearest entrance to the ruins." And so Star cheerfully guided Alexia to the ruins, glowing hair alighting the passage and Hope walking on her other side protectively.

Alexia marveled at the glows from both Star and soon afterward Jioni's hound. "You are full of surprises." she remarked absentmindedly with a smile. Following the priestess and younger knight to the dungeon entrance. The ruins seemed built into the cave, zubat hanging from the ceiling as small rotund golem slowly patrolled some of the buildings and streets of the ancient structure.
Golet registered Zubat Regustered.

Star hummed and looped an arm loosely around one of Alexia's, a very light grip on her elbow as a noble woman would take a knight's arm as they are escorted. Easily pulled away from in case of shyness or danger. She seemed happy to walk beside the Knight and take in the sights as the lights from her and Jioni's Pokemon helped light up the area. The downside of course was stealth was pretty much pointless. Which fit, as she was absolutely horrible at it. Star kept her voice low though to not awaken the Zubat's as she looked around, leaving Alexia and Jioni to play with their challenger toys should they wish to catalogue the pokemon.
"The Luminous clan has always been blessed by the light. It's how we got our name. I like it, especially because it can easily calm children. Many may not think of it that way but a warm ball of light on a scary night can help chase away the terrors."
Star let out a wistful sigh as she remembered the past when her Hoshi was younger, a pleasant look on her face as she gave herself a little shake and tried to remember more about the ruins from when she was younger. She made sure her voice albeit low was pitched so both could hear her.
"The top level doesn't have many Pokemon I find interesting though you might. Besides Zubats and Golets, Geodudes and Carbinks are fairly common as are Woobats. I've heard rumors of Onyx's here too but have never seen one, much like Lapras' further down they're likely just rumors.... but worth looking for if you want one?"

Something Jioni and his Pokemon had worked on in their time was the ability of the fae to conjure magical lights. In a dark cave like this naturally his faerie hound was the best choice for the job with his magic and his heightened vision in the dark along with his superb sense of smell and awareness. Three pink flames had ignited in the air above the wolf, like candles in the dark.
He ordered Don to send the flames their full distance ahead and to keep watch, staying ready for any potential threat. He had gone ahead, walking alongside the pup to give the women behind some distance to enjoy their alone time.

"A Lapras? Those usually exist in much colder climates, we sometimes have them in Valrus. Do you think that means the lower levels of these ruins are frozen?" Alexia asked still arm locked with Star, her shield was at the ready though her sword arm was preoccupied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jioni/Don results.~
The fae light reflect off the walls and illuminate the cavern showing many shards of crystal embedded in the higher Stalactites out of reach while stumps existing where they were easily accessible. One of the outcroppings moves as you see it is a beast not a rock. your crystal dings.

Don sees it before he does, barking to alert his master of the presence of the opposing Pokemon. Seeing it, Jioni draws his sword and adopts a combat stance. He calls back to the two women behind.
"Do either of you wish to catch this beast, or will I be slaying it?"

Alexia was not partial to the rock Pokemon, she always from them coarse and to rigid. "I have no qualms but are you sure you'll be okay?" She did not want to endanger the young man by having him recklessly attack the rock Pokemon

He smiles back at Alexia.
"If I fare badly feel free to help, but I'm sure my other mother's support will be enough."
Holding up the two Sealing Crystals, he unsummons the wolf and then summons his nymph.
"Come forth, Antheia and rest, Donnachaidh."
The two magic circles complete their rituals, leaving the Flabébé standing in front of him.
"Light up the room like your brethren did Antheia."
The lights had disappeared with Don, but Antheia summoned her own and send them forward as her master commanded.
Meanwhile, a pink flash heralded Jioni's transformation. When the light faded he was standing in his glowing, sparkling state.

Star carefully released Alexia’s arm only to draw out a digit and recall Hope from her side. Considering that Jioni wished to take point on his own for now the Miltank was much too close range to properly support him. Another seal as she released the Petilil from earlier. “Kindness. We will be supporting Jiomi from behind. Jioni, please remember not to kill it and it it wishes to flee or not fight let it be. We are in their home and i am sure we can find plenty of aggressive types to fight rather then attacking those whom prefer to run.”
Star had to admit she preferred the defending herself aspect of combat, not enjoying the idea of attacking someone in their home Pokémon or not. That said Jioni brandishing a weapon should invoke a few fights. She smiled up at Alexia as she placed her hand gently on Alexia’s arm. “I will invoke a few blessings but should you wish a Pokémon of yours to be affected they will need to be released. If not I’ll invoke one now.”
Once Alexia either released a Pokémon or decided not to, Star chanted quietly as the air around the party shimmered with soft light. “Mew, bless us and keep us safe from our foes direst of strikes.”
__________ Lucky Chant (3/3 Uses Remaining) as combat begins.

Jioni looked back at his aunt with genuine confusion and a bit of hurt.
"Mom...you know how much I love Pokemon. I would never kill a Pokemon unless I absolutely had to. The only reason I'm even challenging this one at all is because my Pokemon will need to become stronger if I'm to have any success as champion. I apologize if I've seemed overzealous during the contest proceedings so far, but I have no desire to fight a Pokemon past the level of unconsciousness."
Hearing her prayer, he nodded at her before returning his attention to the task at hand.
"Thank you for your aid Mom."

Star raised an eyebrow at Jioni's hurt tone and confusion, before shaking her head in a bit of amusement. It seems he had been posturing a bit more then he realized as she tsk'd at him playfully from Alexia's arm. The Petilil at her side watched carefully should her trainer need her to step in and help Jioni.
"Dear, you said 'do either of you wish to capture it or shall I slay the beast. Word's matter, can you blame me for checking with you that you where just posturing? Better to speak your mind then stand by silently if you don't agree with something."
Star lowered her eyebrow and smiled at him, nodding her head towards the creature to let him know to go ahead and that she was behind him. She did so adore his enthusiasm, and hoped he would keep up his passion throughout their journey rather then losing that spark to age,.

He responded to her without turning around.
"Slay can mean to defeat as well as kill. I thought you knew me well enough to know which one I meant."

Star just gave Jioni one of her long suffering looks from behind. People always tried to change language and mess with meanings, apparently the youth of today had decided slay should mean defeat rather then murder. While a nicer meaning, it was certainly not the words intended usage. But what was a mom to do? There was no way to properly keep up on slang, and Mew help her kids today could be so odd.

Helia looked at the group and nodded, throwing forth a seal, "Come out Sele." she uttered as a humanoid looking Pokemon appeared, it looked like a small samurai as it stood up and smiled. "Hold back and be ready to protect us if needed." The Mawile nodded and stood it's ground near the Priestess and Knight.
The Boldore slowly moved forward as it spotted the group, moving towards Don first as he had alerted the group and it to their mutual presences.

Jioni opens his palm, swirling the fingers of his other hand above his palm for a couple seconds as pink dust forms in a swirling circle. Once he's gathered enough he takes steps forward and blows a pink mist at the Boldore.
Antheia remains where she is, keeping the Petilil behind her within the sphere of influence of her protective aura. Her particular species of nymph had always had a special connection and protection of nature Pokemon like the one behind her. She then starts spinning in place, conjuring multiple green, glowing leaves before firing them forward at the Boldore.

Star stayed quietly at Alexia's side for the moment until the Mawile was released, flashing the humanoid pokemon a beautiful smile and a soft "Hi there, My word you're beautiful Just like your partner.". Then she turned back to the fight, letting both the Mawile and Alexia stew in the sudden compliment as Jioni opened the fight with a kiss and a grass attack. She wasn't sure if she'd have to step in or if the pokemon would call for help, so she hummed quietly and spoke gently to the Petilil at her side.
"Best be prepared Kindness. Grow a bit while we have a moment?" The petilil nodded and swelled up slightly with energy, preparing as a precaution. Star on the other hand raised a hand and gave a casual wave as another surge of glimmering light covered the six of them. "Mew, grant us the strength to resist our foes and stands against their strikes.". As the blessing settled around them she smiled, content with it having taken.

The Boldore sees the Oncoming attack from beyond the Poochyena but cannot set it's defense quick enough, accepting both the kiss and the magical leaves that slash forth. The large rock Pokemon shudders as the shards on it's body begin to flash and glow Shards of crystal rise up and materialize from around the creature before flinging themselves towards Anethia

Star was watching the battle intently and the sudden shaking took her by surprise. She reached out to steady herself on the strong arm of Alexia and looked around carefully, taking the time to study the area around them for anything of interest or incoming threats. If something was coming that could make the cave shake she certainly wanted to be prepared. She just hoped it wouldn't distract Jioni and cause him to get hurt. Perhaps the ruins where more dangerous then expected?

Antheia takes the impact from the glowing crystals, but as they impact her body puffs of sparkling pink dust burst from her body and slam into the Boldore. After they do, one her lights winks out of existence.
"Good work Antheia, now use Fairy Wind again!"
The pink wind picks up again, cutting into the Boldore a second time. The first time the attack was used the wind swirled around the diminutive faerie as if protecting her. After the second use it remained in place, larger and more powerful as it moved around its wielder.
Jioni then steps forward, focusing his magicks before shouting at the Boldore in some unknown tongue. With it a lance of sonic energy shoots and strikes the rockbeast.
