Roxanne Hart
Location: Route 13, Excavation Site
Interacting with:
@Deos Morran / Aiden ;
@Sen / Novis
As the trio walked down Route 13, Roxy found herself growing increasingly curious about the Zamak Ruins. She'd only ever read about it in the books her school had on the Chromis Region, which was admittedly not all that much.
"I wonder what we'll find at the Zamak Ruins! Maybe we'll get to find some rare Pokemon there? Or what if we stumble across fossil Pokemon?" That would be almost painful for her, if they did find fossil Pokemon. And a bit ironic, seeing as she was so far from her parents, but at the same time finding them in almost everything she saw. Her parents would probably
kill to see the Zamak Ruins in person. She pushed the thought out of her head, though, endeavoring to focus on the prospect of seeing new Pokemon. She recalled that the ruins held a great deal of ghost, ground, and rock type Pokemon. Catching a rock type would probably be a good idea, seeing as Lucina had trouble dealing with flying type Pokemon.
Roxy noticed the ground becoming rockier as she and her friends came across a small dig site, just on the outskirts of the ruins. Tourists brushed past them on their way to the Zamak Ruins, leaving the excavators to their work. Roxy couldn't help but take a few steps toward the edge of the site, noticing a somewhat sheer drop downward. Lucina anxiously tugged on Roxy's leg, pulling her back away from the edge of the excavation site.
"What do you guys think is down there?" she asked, turning to look at her two friends. Aiden seemed excited about going down there to help them, which made Roxy just a bit uneasy. There were scientists down there who probably knew her parents; in fact, Roxy might have met a couple of them.
"I, well...okay, sure," Roxy replied, uncharacteristically shy all of the sudden.
Novis was, once again, already rushing off ahead of them and jogging toward someone who seemed to be studying sedimentary rock along the wall of the excavation site. That actually made sense, seeing as they were in a desert, and fossils were usually found in sedimentary rock anyway. She only knew this because of her parents' extensive research into the subject of fossils, of course, but maybe that would be useful if they were going to help out these scientists.
"We should, um, probably go follow him," Roxy said to Aiden before hurriedly jogging down the same path Novis had with Lucina in tow. She paused several feet behind him, though, when she heard him describe their little trio as "strong, mysterious strangers." What was he
doing? Turning wide-eyed at Aiden, then back at Novis, Roxy found herself not knowing how to react.
