As the group slid down the ice chute they soon saw light and the exit. Sliding onto a soft bed of piled snow, Alexia caught the others, helping them to have a softer landing. Though she almost missed Jioni as she held Star in a princess carry for almost a bit to long. After everyone was safely down they would see themselves surrounded by a group of several (5) Beartic, the large beasts moved forward before the Cubchoo from earlier jumped to your defense, speaking to the others and telling them what had happened. Now knowing the full story, the Beartic moved back to their corners of the cave, one staying by and roaring slightly before moving off with it's cub.
"I think that was a thank you." Alexia remarked, having been worried about taking on such a battle so soon after the last.. If this truly was a lower level then the Pokemon here would be much more powerful then even those Lycanroc they met above. Not wanting to be caught unawares she pulled a seal from her orb, "Come on out Darees." A black and blue dragon arose from the magic circle, bright purple spots on a furry mane lit up as it shook it's head from side to side as if waking up. At first it seemed fearful and ready to defend itself before Alexia calmed it down. She sighed and then smiled, "Darees will be able to see without light should the need arise, although oddly enough the cavern appears to be lit outside of this cave.

Star slid down with a loud cry of delight, clinging to Alexia as they slid and swerved down to a deeper level on a slide made of ice. She giggled at the bottom but much like at the bottom of a slide moved out of the way for when Jioni and his pokemon came down, no need to cause a bit of a pileup! Brushing off bits of ice and dust she looked around in a bit of awe, as it really penetrated just how cold it was. She exhaled a bit of steam with a whistle, glad her robes weren't that thin as she held tightly to Alexia's arm after the roar. She smiled warmly at the Beartic at Alexia's words and hummed to herself "I think so too."
While everything was sorted out, Star pulled Hope close and releasing Alexia she drew a glowing fingertip slowly over the Miltanks body. "Pay attention, we'll need this here. " The soft glowing fingertips slid over the Miltanks arms and chest, leaving behind trails of light in runic patterns while Jioni gathered himself. When she pulled her hand back the light flickered like flames and sunk into the Miltank, while Star smiled before pressing back to Alexia's side. Hope grinned, the new move having been drawn out of her and knowing how to call it forth again.

Jioni shot out of the chute holding Donnachaidh in his arms, a smile on his face. The added weight of the puppy in his arms and the way he’d positioned himself going down the slide caused him to shoot past Alexia’s waiting arms. He’d been ready to land on his own in the first place and with a roll he was on his feet and holding his Pokémon.
”Nailed it.”
When the pack of Beartic’s approached, Don jumped in front of his trainer defensively but soon relaxed as their rescuee became their rescuer. Jioni waved fondly at the bear and its parent, Don matching his trainer with an affectionate bark of farewell.
At the sight of Alexia’s new and wondrous Pokémon Jioni held up Guide, the artifact informing him that this was a dragon of darkness known as a Deino. He’d never seen anything like it, but he found it fascinating. Don again mirrored his Trainer’s sentiments, trotting over to his fellow Dark-type to play with it while making sure to raise his faerie lights above his head into the air rather than in front of him lest they be mistaken as a form of attack.
Master and Pokémon of course remembered to be alert and on the lookout for anything of note or interest.

As the group proceeds to move out of the caves, Don spots a large fur, most likely shed from the Beartics, in a pile nearby
[Beartic Fur *Grants protection from Hail and ice resistance one stage]
Exiting the cave shows a large expanse of ice and snow. sparse outcroppings of gems and rock line the walls where they can through the white banks drifted against them. A quick look about the area shows one structure in the distance, a temple of some sort.

Star exited and smiled warmly at the Cubchoo, nodding her head politely to the small creature before she stepped out of the cave and gasped in sheer awe. A cave of glittering ice and snow with gems and rocks lining the walls, more what looked like a temple in the distance. She had never heard of a temple in these ruins and was utterly fascinated, also by the glittering gems in the walls. Her hand squeezed gently on Alexia's arm as she took it all in.
"Wow this is... amazing. Thank you for bringing me here Jioni, and for accompanying us Alexia. This is... absolutely beautiful."
Star looked to and fro in awe with a bright smile on her face, at least this part of adventuring agreed with her. She couldn't wait to tell her family about this later on and only wished she was better with a brush so she could draw such a scene later. Hope stood nearby carefully eyeing to make sure they weren't ambushed as the group decided which way to go, or perhaps in this case when Jioni decided. Star seemed happy to go any way in this place.

Seeing his Pokémon fixate on what he initially thought to be a pile of snow, JIoni strode closer to it to discover that it was instead the shed fur of one of the larger bears. He stooped down to pick it up, tossing it over his shoulder and scritching Don under his chin to show his pleasure with the wolf. As he stood he noticed that his aunt and Alexia hadn’t found anything else within the caves interesting and had left. He rose to his feet and made after them, his long legs and large stride easily allowing him to catch up momentarily.
Taking in the new scenery he was likewise impressed by the beautiful sights. As he walked past the walls he stopped to examine the sparkling protrusions that grew from them. Once done he approached his aunt, holding up the fur to her just as she began to speak to him.
”Anything for you Aunt Star, I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself. By the way, I think this bear fur Don found might be good for Kindness since she’s not really adapted to these temperatures.”
In the meantime Don ran back over to the Deino, barking at it playfully.

"No thank you dear, while I'll offer it to her if I call her out I don't plan to bring Kindness out down here except as a last Resort. It also looks a bit....."
Star wrinkled her nose, she wasn't one for fur in the slightest. She knew many people found it comfortable but she was quite fine with fiber based clothing, something about wearing the leftover fur or skin of other creatures.... she could do it, but it was certainly not her first choice. She also had to make sure it was taken humanely, like mareep wool. None the less she could see the use in it, and if she had to bring out her Lilligant she would be willing to have the plant wear it. But felt for now her team would do well as is.
"Dream can tolerate ice well, and Hope barely feels it. I think we'll be okay. Do you think we should head for the ruins, the gems, or just look around a bit?"

General Ed: the crystals seem to be larger version of natural crystals found on higher floors. Occult: Amazingly enough you find a rainbow colored crystal mixed in with the others. (Acts as any stone for purposes of evolution, loses luster/power after use.)
Alexia nods in agreement with the others about the beauty here, "The temple is alluring, and most likely our destination.

Jioni laughs at his other mother’s reaction, pulling the fur back to his side.
”I know you don’t like wearing fur yourself Aunt Star don’t worry, I’ll keep it away from you. Until you bring out Kindness I’ll give the fur to Don.”
He chose to forego the the crystal in the wall, nodding at Alexia’s statement.
”I agree, let’s head for the temple. Don, come here.”
He knelt next to the wolf as it ran to his side, wrapping the bear’s fur around the pup’s body. Don yipped in happiness an ran off, jumping around the Deino to get its attention as Jioni made his way to the temple, carefully staying aware of anything in the area.

"First, I think a bit of prayers are in order. Mother Mew, I plead with you to protect us from the dangers ahead. I invoke your blessings to keep us safe and secure from that which may oppose us, and your aid in letting us find safe passage. Amen."
Star intoned softly as her magic flickered over the group, not once or twice but thrice. She wasn't in a rush to move and decided to prepare her blessings for the others thoroughly as she stayed in quiet prayer until she felt satisfied with her magic. Finally she gave a quiet nod after the third blessing had been invoked, taking her place at Alexia's side and then following after Jioni. She was in awe of the beauty here but she also wasn't going to risk her companions safety by assuming it was safe. Hope happily walked at her side, seeming unaffected by the Ice.

As the trio approached the temple Don would be the first to respond to a sudden movement in the area as his eyes would fall on a statue near the temples entrance shudder slightly. The movement was subtle and Jioni might not have seen it had Don not also done so. The "Statue" itself seemed to be a golem or some measure. Perhaps a guardian, it stood off to the side of the temple's entrance. The orb inside of the trios packs would glow momentarily as it scanned the area.
Golurk Registered.

Don's fur bristled, his body stiffening as he regarded the almost-motionless guardian warily. His unease alerted Jioni and when his crystal guide confirmed his suspicions he slowed his pace, erring on the side of caution. He turned to look back at Alexia and Star.
"More likely than not it won't just let us stride into the temple unmolested."

"Well, its up to you. It might let us by if we're respectful, but that might let it ambush us too..."
Star gave a little shrug, honestly she wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt as a temple guardian. She knew knights who sometimes protected temples so it wasn't a stretch that the golurk might actually have a bit of chivalry, but that's also assuming it wasn't trying to blend into the background to attack them without warning. Either way she felt Hope would do well against it if it came to that. Star gave Alexia's arm a gentle squeeze and the woman a soft smile before removing her hand, with a whispered 'just in case, i don't want to impede your movement.'

Alexia nodded, agreeing with Jioni's statement on the guardian "We should see if we can reason with it first. The fact it hasn't charged us yet is more then enough proof for me to try and look for other solutions then a fight." She felt Star's slight squeeze before her arm left Alexia's own and glanced over quickly, worried that some form of exhaustion had overtaken the priestess. Relieved to hear her reasons Alexia looked forward again to the golem before starting her approach.
THe eyes of the statue lit up as it reached down to it's side a drew a sword. It looked like Jioni's partner though the blade was a deep green and seemed to have gaps in the blade where it might separate. The orbs did not react to the blade if it was a Pokemon as they had already registered Jioni's partner earlier.

Jioni looked up at the guardian, and at the two women behind him. He took both their words into account as Alexia drew nearer to him. He crouched, rubbing Ron's head to relax him as he stepped forward, leaving only three meters between the Pokemon and he.

Alexia cleared her throat , "Good day to you guardian, we wish to pass if you may allow it. We mean no harm to you and simply wish to visit the temple." She waited for a response, ready to move into a defensive position if needed.
The Golurk looked down at the smaller creatures before raising it's sword, it swung out towards Alexia, the blade extending like a whip. Quickly she rose her shield as the green field of force surrounded her again and negated the attack. "I guess that's a no."
(Golurk used Vine Whip, Alexia Used Protect, Vine Whip missed.)

Star frowns at the reaction of the Golurk, but breathes out a sigh of relief at Alexia's quick reaction to negate the attack from the Golurk. It seems a fight is on their hands that can't be avoid and so she braces herself for it. Safely behind her companions she focuses on motes of light growing into existence in the palm of her right hand before flicking her hand forward. The star motes sizzle as they land upon the golurk and it's sword hoping to make it back down. Hope heads forward shifting to the side to help draw its focus away from the others as well as help box it in. The miltank growls dangerously at the golurk and potential honedge as well. "Looks like it chose for us whether we would fight or walk past freely. Thank you for giving it the chance though."__________ OOC Note: Ranged Blast 2 and Burst 1, if the sword is a honedge both moves will catch honedge and golurk. Both moves are also friendly.

The Golurk and it's blade doe show damage from the attack of Star's, both showing signs of damage as Alexia moves in close. The growl and Kiss seem to miss their mark though the latter almost unerringly follows the enemy as it strikes it square. Alexia moves forward as she swings her blade. Struggle Ac:RowTMcNt1-20 Dmg:1-8 +18 Marked "Attack the knight Daress! Try to halt it's movement!" The dark dragon nodded it was a strange sight for the thermal visioned dragon as no heat came form it's target, nor cold, it was devoid of all temperature which cause it to be a deadzone in it's heat based vision. Taking a breath the dragon fired a gout of blueish-green flame. Dragon Breath Ac:1-20 Dmg:2-6 +20 The golem took both Alexia's hit and the dragon's breath attack, now looking at the foes before it, the large statute-like Pokemon took it's own turn to attack.

Star focused her light on Alexia as she tried to draw the Knight's attention, mote of light seeming to blossom over the womans skin in case of any attacks as Star whispered a soft prayer. The light solidified for a moment to protect her from the next attack as her words where gentle. She may not be a fighter and even her tone suggested as much, but as a healer she had a calm mind in frantic situations or many would have died as a result.
"Hope, use your new move and try to disable its sword."
Punching a Honedge in general was not really useful, until you noticed the Miltanks hand burst into fire and the heavy hoof's hit slamming into the steel sword unprepared for a fire attack. Hopefully.
