Averting his gaze in response to the Skitty's hopeful words, he'd let out a sigh, [color=ec5334]"Of course. We'll be fine."[/color]

Remaining quite for an awkwardly long time—considering his usual loquaciousness—he did finally speak once more, [color=ec5334]"Unfortunately, I was not prepared for sporadic sandstorms; I have little means to defend ourselves. Even the Escape Orb I hold will prove ineffective, since this desert does not hold the mystical power of a dungeon..."[/color] Furrowing his brows, he would consider his options before continuing, [color=ec5334]"This may be a shot in the dark, but you do not happen to know Dig, would you? Even then... frenzied Pokémon could still locate us. A cave is still our best option..."[/color]

Alodi's expression darkened as he grew quiet, pondering to himself, [color=ec5334][i]There must be something... If we are trapped in the storm, there is no guarantee that I can protect Piper...[/i][/color]
