It's about time they visited Avalon's home, she thinks. Over two weeks ago, she'd taken the colossal steel type from this place by force, and not once had he stopped longing for a chance to see the place he used to call home.

[break][break]

Maybe they'd even get to meet his family.

[break][break]

"Where to now?"

[break][break]

Erin has the courtesy of hopping off the aggron's shoulder once they're close to the mountain where she first met him. As unenthusiastic as she is about walking such a long distance on foot, she can't deny her pokémon the right to return home as he left: proud, with his head held high and the respect of his peers.

[break][break]

Between her arms rests Athena, the most recent addition to the team. They're awfully close to the local desert, which means the temperature would only be rising from that point, and Erin's glad for the chilly touch of her alolan vulpix's fur and breath.

The relicanth does not even register in Erin's mind as a party present during their trip.

[break][break]

Despite it trying its best to be noticed, to time its jump above the pond's surface perfectly so that the small party would notice it, its efforts would be all in vain. How unfair for the poor pokémon. Such was life in a discriminatory world.

[break][break]

"This is a lot farther than I expected," Erin comments idly, as her eyes take in their surroundings. The young woman doesn't suspect her pokémon of trying to lead them astray, but this location is definitely much farther back than the one she remembers catching him in. "What were you doing so far away from home, you sneaky boy?"

[break][break]

The aggron fails to answer both because it's unable of human speech (and his understanding of it was very rough), and because he doesn't really want to admit that he's scared of going back home.

The squint that Avalon receives from his trainer a few minutes later would be nerve-wrecking if he wasn't made of literal steel. Before he can really feel the weight of Erin's judgment, however, a wild rapidash appears and circles them in a ring of fire.

[break][break]

Erin considers taking it home. She'd always liked horse riding and had only stopped when she moved in to Hoenn because of a supply shortage in good equestrian camps. It's a tempting offer that chance offers her, but in the end she's not here for a rapidash.

[break][break]

"Freeze the fire, Athena."

[break][break]

The alolan vulpix doesn't even need to hop down Erin's arms to produce an

ice beam

strong and long enough to do as her trainer requested. An

icy wind

immediately follows.

[break][break]

She doesn't want to kill the horse—call it bias—but the combination of ice-type moves should be enough to discourage it from trying to get any closer.

[break][break]

"Now, Avalon, are you going to stop beating around the bush?"

As expected, Avalon's home wasn't this way. Erin isn't happy about her pokémon leading her astray, but at least he came to his senses at long last. She's in a way glad that this happened, despite wasting her time. It's not that much of a waste if it allowed her a bit of insight into the mind of a pokémon she would be trusting with her life.

[break][break]

On their way back, they pass by the same pond where she'd previously ignored a fish she would have found infinitely ugly either way. This time, she noticed the hard shell of a carracosta. It's not a pokémon she's personally interested in, but she can think of someone who likely would be.

[break][break]

"This is a perfect time to test that shiny new move of yours, Athena."

[break][break]

In the carracosta's vision of the world, the

freeze-dry

would be unexpected. The humidity it'd gained swimming in the pond is stolen so quickly it freezes him in the spot. If it remained conscious after that, it would be able to feel the pokéball being tossed its way.
