Huh. I guess I didn’t think about Inkay being the bully. Ok you cuddlefish, you’re going to regret that!

Also, Inkay has a weird evolution thing. Upside down 3DS at level 30. Now I'm not sure if you have something in mind or not but once Erika settles down for some rest, she'll probably dial up Professor Kalmia and ask about all her captured Pokemon so far.
Of course this is all assuming Inkay even wants to join Erika.

Sooo Inkay has a super unique typing that I didn't expect. Huh. I didn't even remember it at first. So Erika is definitely not going to try to pass up on getting a dark and psychic type, but she would definitely feel bad about immediately battling it so we're trying the Gibs route, I guess.
Also, this kind of ruins my .gif portraits in my header but thankfully I found a site that has the .gifs of the X/Y idle animations so I'll probably switch to those.

Erika replayed the steps Isaac had provided, trying to recount the order in her head to make sure she didn't forget. Once she was sure she got it, she tackled the negotation for her to rent equipment to start to mine, scoring a pickax and a helmet. Swapping her hat for a helmet, she slung her pickax over her shoulder. She stepped out and decided to let Chic out of her Pokeball. "Hey there, Chic-a-dee! Wanna help me with little mining, girl?" Erika asked, crouching down to her Torchic. "Tooor-Chic!" Chic responded, flapping her little wings. She must have appreciated coming out of her Pokeball and in an effort to please all her team, Erika planned to keep that in mind to let everyone a chance to breath.
Erika ruffled the feathers on top of Chic's head before proceeding on. Chic paced behind her, stopping to gaze at the miner's and their Pokemon working before either realizing she was falling behind or by Erika's call to keep up would have her scurrying forward to catch up. Erika, too, was stealing a few glances at the miner's to kind of figure out how they were working but also to catch a glimpse of the Pokemon they were using. Each new Pokemon Erika spotted had her briefly fantasize about that particular Pokemon on her team, wondering what it would be like.
When Erika spotted the Smoochum, eyeing itself in the mirror she stopped and took a scan, unsure of what it was exactly and encouraged by the fact that it looked wild. "Smoochum, Ice and Psychic type, huh." Erika considered that information for a moment before eventually deciding to pass by, waving at the mirrored ice to the Smoochum. Chic, following behind, copied Erika's wave with her own ruffle of feathers and chirping a call as she carried on.
Finding a spot that was approximately right where Isaac had directed her, Erika began to get to work mining away at the ice. She asked Chic to help her out by using Ember on the ice to weaken it occasionally. Erika was quite surprised by the actual move of Ember as she Chic breathed a small breath of fire, rather than just showered small embers at the target. The heat from the fire and Erika's body warming up from the activity had her remove her jacket, removing a layer so that her pink shirt was now plainly visible. Stuffing her jacket in her bag, and placing it aside she continued work.
After a few boring rocks, they finally found something that was certainly unique. Frozen in the ice was something squidish. Erika didn't hazard a guess, however, and immediately retrieved her Pokedex, scanning the frozen Pokemon. "Inkay, dark and psychic. Wow. That's a pretty unique typing, I think..." Again, Erika considered the cuddly-looking squid in the ice for a moment before she smiled and turned to Chic. "Alright, Chic, think you can melt Inkay out of this? I think we are going to try for another team member here."
Chic fluttered and called as she let forth a few breaths of fire, melting the ice until it become very weak. At that point, Erika gently pried it apart and pulled Inkay out of the ice. Erika cradled Inkay, holding the cold and now wet Pokemon to her chest, to try and warm him/her up. "Whew! I bet'cha are a bit cold, huh Inkay?" Erika asked as she glanced down, offering a warm smile to her potential teammate. "You alright?" Erika asked as she set Inkay down at some point when she believed the Inkay was warm enough. Assuming they were, since Erika didn't know what a Pokemon coming out of a long freeze felt, Erika would crouch down and offer her invitation. "Hey Inkay, how would you like to join my team? I'd love for you to be a part of it if you want to!"

Oh no, you did fine. Interesting find, Erika did need a physic/dark type.
Also I totally got a laugh out of the Zubat thing.

Same. I finally made a post too
Hiyori Kozlovsky
"Well... yea but I'd rather stay in San Fransisco than some shithole in the woods."
Hiyori explained, believing the rural sector of the world was just dull and simple compared to the life she had grown up in. After she spoke, she considered her companion's choice of words in silence. He didn't care about his bike? No, he didn't have time to care about the bike judging from his words so why the urgency? Just something was certainly not enough reason to abandon your vehicle because of a day or two delay. What was he hiding?
"Oh yea?" Hiyori spat in a challenging tone as glared at the man. Even by his lack of specificity, she could tell he was up to something. While Hiyori was indeed in a business of minding your own business (unless it conflicted with your business), her thoughts went back to the weird mental trip she experienced during the short drive over here. She never had a desire to partake in some of the shit others wasted their lives on but she certainly felt as if she had been slipped something on that ride. The weird thing was, it passed the moment she got off the bike and away from this guy. The lack of truth this guy and the fact that he had certainly done something to her on her bike was starting to piss her off.
She leaned forward, bringing her face closer to the man and then in a hushed volume, she formally challenged him. "Bullshit. Finding Something is not a good enough reason to abandon a investment like a bike." Hiyori sneered, becoming rather snarky when she mimicked the man's earlier words. "I'm not an idiot, what are you really after?"
In truth, she did consider that the man was maybe not telling her because he thought she was an idiot, which did little to cool her temperature. More importantly, however, was the fact that Hiyori, too, was on some reckless quest to find something and the fact that this man had some type of beyond coincidence aura to himself, something was up. For a breath moment, Hiyori considered her next words carefully but it wasn't out of some concern what the man might think about her. She didn't give a shit but rather, it was a concern about what might be the relation of the bell. Was it competitive by nature? Cooperative? What even was it other than possibly the most alluring thing in Hiyori's life right now.
Hiyori glanced down at the table and leaned back in her booth. She rubbed her eyes for a moment as the waitress dropped the coffee pot off before leaving them again. "You heard some fuckin' bell, didn't you?" Hiyori's comment came in a quiet tone, glancing behind the man to make sure nobody's attention towards them at the mention of such a thing. Considering that this was a blind fire and not knowing how the man would react, she subtly lowered her hand to her bag and by extension, the handle of her blade which was still secure in its sheathe. Consider it paranoid but Hiyori's life up to this point rewarded her paranoia.

Whew. Posted in time.
❄Erika Olson❄
Erika proceeded to the mining camp and had a brief discussion with several of the miners, who all seemed to be in a chipper mood. The advice she received was very helpful and thanking the person before moving onto the next, she eventually painted a little picture of how things worked. Unfortunately, it seemed like a Dawn Stone was going to be a tough find, judging by the advice of one. Still, Erika was not discouraged as she continued to talk with several other people before finding the miner's lodge. The miner explained the basics and could offer a fair bit of advice, maybe with that she might try mining on her own a bit? At the very least, it does promise to find interesting new Pokemon considering that they are apparently found in the ice. Who knows what she'd find?
Moving onto the shop, Erika was already prepared to not find a Dawn Stone but what she didn't expect was to be recognized. It had been awhile but Erika took a long stare at the man's face before it suddenly clicked. "Oh! Isaac! Hi!" Erika excitedly greeted the family friend, slightly embarrassed at how long it took her to recognize the man. Her mother's favorite thing was to tell and exchange stories in Cooldome City, recounting epic tales and the like with different people. Isaac was one of those although his stories were more about the Frozen Cavern but they were still interesting. It added a mystique to the Frozen Cavern that Erika had hoped one day to see. Of course now she had the chance.
"Yes! I'm finally following my mother's footsteps but I still have a ways to go!" Erika replied a bit bashfully as the man spoke. Then Erika felt quite disarmed by his offer to pick anything in the store. "Aww Isaac that's really nice of you! Thank you!" Erika felt thrilled about the prospect of a gift and that was twice now that she felt like she owed people something. She'd have to find a way to at least show her appreciate sometime.
Taking a glance down at the items, she hadn't considered any of these things before and even admittingly, had no idea what some of this stuff did. There was an eventual decision to pick a fossil, seeing as Erika's quest for a Dawn Stone might eventually lead her to Raremine Town. She hoped she'd be able to find a stone before that but who knows. Considering each fossil, Erika had really no idea what extinct Pokemon was stored within which made the planning part of this rather difficult. So she just ended up playing a game in her head to eventually choose the Jaw Fossil. "Uhh.. I guess I will choose this one. Thank you so much, Isaac!" Erika thanked him again before considering her own curiosity.
"So umm.. Isaac. I think I'm going to try mining because I'm trying to find a Dawn Stone so I can evolve my Snorunt into a Froslass. However, I really don't know where to look. Is there anywhere in particular I should search you think?" Erika would ask and thank him for advice no matter how he responded before leaving.
Considering all the advice she had at this point, she figured it was time to out mining and returned to the Miner's Lodge to investigate the possibility of her mining somewhere. She'd consider Isaac's advice above all the other advice she received and get the appropriate tools and map before setting off to wherever she might try her luck.
