Shalin breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Lorelei," she gratefully replied, dropping her part of the large herb into her thick, insulated water bottle. While the herb would have taken a long time to dissolve into a form that could be consumed by humans, she had a unique way to accelerate the process.
Assuming Lorelei took the goggles @gwylim had offered, she would be able to see through a sandstorm blowing into a valley covered in buildings, overturned vehicles, and the like. The similar eye protection her Flygon-like windshields offered Shalin the same view. The only problem was there was no safe way down there, as the sandstorm was so intense that it would likely grind her partners' skin to dust. Without Sygna Suits for all of them, Shalin would have to find a new way. After some investigation, the girl was able to find a winding tunnel blocked by a cracked boulder stuck in the sand. It was clear from the beginning that there was no moving this thing. She did have one way, though:
Crack it open with a sonic explosion.
"Cover your ears, everyone!" Shalin cried, putting in her own earplugs. "Now, get as close to it as you can and try to shatter it!" With a nod, the Flygon's wings quickly disappeared, a loud, surprisingly pleasant hum coming from the invisible, translucent, red-and-green appendages the dragon used to "sing" with. Even as their hum turned into a screech, the rock wasn't going anywhere. What was this thing made of?
Raising her voice, she addressed @gwylim again. "...You wanted to see what my suit can do? Well, you're about to. You might want to step away, too. It's going to look odd, but... try not to think about it too much. Infinity Energy kind of... defies all preconceptions of how the world works." This was going to be intense, even by her standards. She needed the added power to bust through this rock, though. "Alright, Sandy, can you lift me onto your wing one more time?" With reluctance, the Flygon did as asked, feeling her trainer's hold on her right wing. She had already made herself dizzy once today from doing this. While Shalin had confidence her suit would keep her safe, the Flygon had every right to worry. "This will be a first, I know. Sandy, BUG BUZZ me. The suit will keep me safe." With a firm hold on the wing with all four of her limbs, Shalin couldn't be any more ready for the utter chaos that was to come.
Again harnessing her trainer's BOLDNESS and glowing, green SYNC STONE, the dragon-type's wings hummed with Shalin on one of them. The suit's INFINITY ENERGY made the foreign scene possible by not only making the rider feel far lighter than normal to the Flygon, but eliminating the whiplash that would have seriously hurt her from being flung up and down dozens of times per second. The reckless girl's eyes were forced shut, her mouth wide open in pure ecstasy as the flutter became even faster. The added weight of Shalin on the Flygon's wing greatly enhanced the power of her shrill BUG BUZZ, even the girl herself now completely invisible. The earplugs seemed to do little to protect against the deafening noise, though the Sygna Suit-enhanced sonic attack certainly would have ruptured the eardrums of those who were unprotected.
The shockwave pulverized the large boulder blocking the way, the howling wind in the wings' wake sending its pieces hurtling away from them and all the way to the bottom of the tunnel. The girl's skin underneath the transparent parts of her suit were quite red; it seemed even her suit, despite her current mastery of it, still had limits. Sandy gradually slowed her wings, a bewildered and swaying Shalin slowly becoming visible as they came closer to a stop. "...Holy shit, that's fast. What a ride," were the only words out of her mouth. Those who knew Shalin knew how rarely she cursed. If she cursed, it was to put special, warranted emphasis on something. Going that fast warranted it.
The intense shaking had one extra benefit: the KING'S LEAF had completely dissolved into her water during the alien-looking ride. Bracing the water bottle against her mount, she took as big of a drink out of it as she could, it did not take long before the dizziness, and the curse of the hidden temple, had left her. CURSE REVERSED
Shalin no longer has to roll with disadvantage during her Type: Null quest.
@gwylim LORELEI DU'MOT > 🗺️ the KING'S LEAF can be used to slow the curse or clarify the senses; it is also a highly sought after food source by Pokemon in the Ultra Desert. - Shalin's Flygon isn't strong enough to shatter the boulder blocking the way to the lower level. - Using her SYGNA SUIT, Shalin sits on her Flygon's wing to enhance the power of her BUG BUZZ, knocking herself silly in the process due to not respecting her own limits. - Shalin drinks the water her portion of the King's Leaf is dissolved into. Within seconds, it not only curse her curse, but her dizziness, too. {WC: 744} {PC: 4} NAME SPECIES STATUS Treble Kommo-o Good Sandy Flygon Good Corona Charizard Good Queen Zing Beedrill** Good Letheia A!Ninetales Good Starr Espeon** Good
