Turning over a flower that she had picked earlier in her hands, Lily sat on the edge of the cliff overlooking the ocean with her typical silence. Much to her personal misfortune, there didn't seem to be such a thing as a tropical climate without a large body of water nearby, however she held a silent prayer hoping that they would continue to exist even after Team Magma had succeeded in drying up all the water.
Tossing the flower over the edge, Lily pulled herself back up carefully as she reached for the Pokeballs around her belt. Her assignment was rather simple this time: return to Mt. Pyre and retrieve the orbs; while this had taken the majority of the grunts and two admins to accomplish previously, without drawing attention to their name lately, it seemed as if sending just a single grunt would do the trick this time. Sending out her Volcarona, Lily proceeded towards the opposite end of town. "Now remember, you'll have to carry me over the water again, so don't let me slip, okay? I know you can't fly very far, but I still can't swim, and surfing Pokemon really aren't allowed..." She called back to her Pokemon, having what felt like a one-sided conversation at first. After a slight delay, the Volcarona nodded its understanding. It was true that her Pokemon couldn't respond back, but basic body language was enough to get the point across most of the time, albeit difficult when it came to more complicated conversations aside from the simple yes or no questions. Still, they were her teammates now, and communication was key to a successful operation. "You just have to get me across the water, after all. I'm more than capable of climbing the place myself." Once again the moth delayed before nodding, as if to confirm her trainer had finished speaking. Perhaps they would pull this off after all...
