Nue makes her way up winding tunnels, and along the way she spies:
A Bergmite trying to fit itself in a hole in the wall about two sizes too small.
A Machop walking confidently up and down the tunnels, seemingly being a 'protector' (or just looking for an excuse to crack someone in the head)
A Sandy Cloak Wormadam sitting unassuming amongst some rocks.
A Golett, sitting inactive, waiting for something to cross it's path.

Nue wonders if the silly Bergmite realizes that it's too big for that hole. If it seems stuck, she'll help it out, but otherwise she'll leave it. She already has one big tanky mon in Ferrothorn.

It doesn't seem stuck but it is convinced that it's small so that it fits inside this small hole! Disregarding the tower of ice on it's head completely.

Silly thing. Nue shakes her head in amusement as she silently slinks along the tunnel.

Nue continues up through winding paths, and at some point she feels a flutter of smol Zubat returning, but her head feels a bit heavier for some reason? She looks up and notices the 'flower' in her hair is... crystal? She takes it out an examines it and it indeed 'is' crystal, stem and all!

Huh. Wonder what that's about. A crystal flower? How's that even happen? For that matter... did the Zubat put it in her hair? If so, why? Makes no darn sense. Oh, wait, that's right. Her crobat gave her the flower back in Rock Tunnel. For...some reason. Still makes not a lick of sense. Is it frozen or crystallized by rock though?

Nue remembers it wasn't quite the crobat, but as for the flower itself, it's pure solid glass crystal. Although it looks like it would be fragile, it feels way more solid than it should be...
Upon closer inspection, it's actually a rose, with very intricate and detailed petals.

Oh yes, that's right. It was actually her tiny Flower Zubat that...has that odd special ability to conjure flowers specifically in her hair. Which is weird but adorable. Again though, this begs the question of 'how' the flower changed to its current state. Nue looks around for anything that could even potentially be the source. Objects don't just turn to glass/crystal all on their own like that.

There seems to be no visible thing in here that matches that matches this flower anywhere. As for why the zubat picked it up, it just sorta found it and thought her cool master should have it!

Hm. Well, nothing else seems to have been affected (for now), so if there is nothing nearby that could even remotely be construed as the source of this sudden crystallization, then Nue supposes she'll just have to keep moving. Maybe she'll stumble onto the source later.

Stowing away the rose, Nue continues making her way up. After about an hour of so of quiet, she actually finds a path that leads outside. She's now about half-way up the mountain, and it is a lot colder up here. She is sure to find her quarry here.

Nue is able to jump and quickly climb her way up, avoiding slipping on ice and snow. After a bit of climbing and passing over other ice and mountain types, she finally finds her target. A Sneasal is out in the open, making an ice statue of itself. Maybe it's bored.
And of course, it hasn't noticed Nue yet.

Nue silently approaches the Sneasel, meaning to ambush it and duel it personally.

It has no way between the wind and snow to notice the ninja behind it while it works, so Nue has the advantage.
