"Well aren't you lucky that I'm around to help with that~"

[break][break]
The wide grin on her face did little to mask the blush that came with the memories that now came with this place. By the looks of it she wasn't the only one recalling said memories, either, which only worsened her focus in the process.

[break][break]
Just pretend nothing bad happened here. Pretend hard.

[break][break]
Well, it was hard, and it definitely hadn't been bad if she thought about it. It had actually been really gr-

[break][break]
No. Stop that. Work first, reminisce later.

[break][break]
Brynn cleared her throat and pulled out the small drone's portable activation terminal, inputting the coordinates for it to land and deploy. "Time to do some drilling!" The ground. Drill the ground. Yes, that's what she meant.

Brynn actually looked up from the coding on the terminal when Gwyar mentioned Ariados webs, and followed his gaze to a cluster that very much was the entrance to an arachnid colony.

[break][break]
"Wait, you mean to say they s-" Abort sentence, rerouting words. "Have always been there?" Great save?

[break][break]
Merely imagining the what-ifs made her flustered, and Brynn tried to hide her embarrasment by typing away at the small device while the drone got into place and deployed the drill with a thunk.

[break][break]
"Better keep an eye on them when we start drilling again-" she stopped herself, squeezed her eyes shut, inhaled deeply, and pinched her nose. "-ACTIVATE the drill. We might disturb them in the process."

[break][break]
"Again." she muttered underneath her breath as the drill whirred to life, digging its way into the bedrock.

PFFFT. Brynn did little to contain the chuckle that escaped her, and glanced over to Gwyar. "We're not making this any better, are we?"

[break][break]
Amusement seemed to riddle through her voice, her eyes set in longing as they gazed upon him.

[break][break]
The little drill did its work almost perfectly; the first layer excavated, statistics of the next started flooding in on the smaller screen, highlighting large quantities of tera crystals to exist right underneath their feet. Their density too seemed far more superior compared to the ones at the surface level of the chasm.

[break][break]
A handful of Ariados surfaced from their den the moment the drill tried to force its way through the increased density, shaking the area incessantly in the process. Trusting Gwyar and his team would take care of them, Brynn focused on reading the stats and altering the drill's coding when necessary.

A cry echoed out across the chasm, one not belonging to the colony they were disturbing.

[break][break]
"Just a little bit longer!"

[break][break]
She'd encourage Gwyar and his team, tapping the pokéballs on her belt to activate them and send out her own team as back-up, just in case the cry meant more pokémon were being lured to their location.

[break][break]
"Do you think you can force them back into the cave? I hate to do this, but if we somewhat damage the entrance once the drill finishes we can pack up and make a run for it before they break free from the debris."

"I see what you're getting at." she nodded.

[break][break]
He did have a point. The equipment was expensive, but the League had seemed adamant on their lives being more important. Still, if they could salvage some of it, the rest could be left behind quite easily. Expendable tripods where the best. When the screen lit up signalizing it had finished its survey, Brynnhildr quickly started dismantling the drill with the help of her Clefairy.

[break][break]
Gravity worked wonders on keeping the drilling mechanism in place while she attached it to her Bewear's back, knowing the giant bear could handle the weight. When they were finished securing everything, she went to aid Gwyar.

[break][break]
"Alright, time to break the cave up! A single attack at the opposite side of the webbing cluster should do it, Plato will make sure the largest chunks of debris land on the designated places so it doesn't harm the colony too much."

[break][break]
His pokémon did not need any more direction than the one she'd given; as soon as the cavern's wall came crumbling down, Plato got to work, expertly directing the boulders to slam into the Ariados trying to advance. At the same time he was building, steadily like a hard mode tetris game, a wall of bricks and blocks they would not be able to move that easily.

[break][break]
When she was certain they were in the clear, she recalled the Clefairy and turned to get out just as quickly. "Now's our chance, let's go!"
