As far as Allegra is concerned, this cavern is the loveliest place in all of Hoenn. Oh, to be sure, it faces stiff competition since the region boasts a wealth of breathtaking seascapes — and yet, there is something about this underwater sanctuary that she simply cannot find anywhere else; not even in the Water Routes, for all that she loves them.

[break][break]

She takes her sweet time, then, to admire the sights and sounds of the caves. The reason they would be connected to a legendary Pokémon in the local myth and folklore is more than evident; even for a skeptic like her, it's all too easy to believe that this was the dwelling place of a living legend in ancient times. But then again. Her skepticism has never applied to the wonders of the sea, has it?

[break][break]

Smiling to herself, Allegra signals for her Milotic to swim onwards, which he does with slow elegance to let her continue enjoying the scenery. While Adagio is willing to carry his Trainer and move on command, ever-patient with her whims, the Primarina has already disappeared into the depths of the cavern. Not that the violinist blames her: Where Cadenza would have once been her inseparable companion, she herself drew away from the Soloist Pokémon in the wake of her fallout with the... Fisk Conglomerate. The matter of her own vocal issues was still raw (as it is now, if she's honest), and it became difficult for her to even be in Cadenza's presence for a long time; too long a time. If there is anything Allegra regrets, it is that: Their relationship has never fully recovered.

[break][break]

Yet that is all years in the past and her Primarina is still dear to her, as she is to it; else it would not be with her at all. She ought to be enjoying the scenery, and besides there is another human just ahead. Adagio halts and bows his head without the need for her to ask him to do so. He knows her well.

[break][break]

"My," is all Allegra says at first, her expression difficult to read even though she's smiling at the other woman. "I did not expect to meet anyone else in this secluded place. Are you perhaps also a lover of the oceans?"

It was time for Shalin to stop putting it off. If she wanted to grow stronger, she needed not only the battle experience to defend Petalburg, but the tools to do so. had once shared with her the existence of a fantastic "water temple" in the depths of the SEAFLOOR CAVERN. Filled with treasure of a bygone age, he and had cleared only the front half of it out. The back half remained untouched, and who better than one of Hoenn's greatest explorers, , to document and plunder its dangerous, labyrinthine tunnels!

Shalin, too, was taken by surprise to another Milotic ferrying the female closer to such dangers. "Could say much the same of you," the Captain replied as Levy's tail surfaced with the girl sitting on it. Most rode a Milotic just behind the neck -- wasn't sitting on the serpentine's Pokémon tiring best case, dangerous worst case?

Now there was a sight that Allegra never thought she'd see: The other woman was riding a Milotic of her own, but she was perched atop its tail rather than behind its neck. Even Adagio was taken aback, his long form rippling beneath her as he shifted position, then let out a slight noise akin to a polite inquiry. That being the case, Allegra decided not to address the matter herself. If both she and her Pokémon brought it up to their respective counterparts, they might seem rude.[break][break]

"I suppose you could," she said instead, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "But as I said, I am a lover of the sea and these caverns are simply amazing." Perhaps she hadn't needed to reiterate that. Even her appearance brought to mind the ocean's depths, after all (and her mother, but she tried not to think of that and simply take pleasure in this aesthetically pleasing coincidence). All the same, she would never pass up a chance to declare her love for the saltwater. "What of you, madam? Are you an archaeologist? Or perhaps a professor?"

The diving bubbles between the two Milotic were all that let Allegra and Shalin communicate underwater. Shalin swayed back and forth with Levy's tail as the water-type swam in place. "I've heard a lot of stories about them, but this is my first time coming down here myself," the girl admitted. "Captain Shalin Nariya, Petalburg, and these two are Levy and Shabraz," she gave the Milotic a pat before gesturing toward the Sharpedo swimming behind her. Both wore saddles, but the Milotic's was vacant from the Ranger sitting on the tail.

Was she some kind of crazy thrill seeker? The muscles powering that tail were very strong, and could easily fling an inexperienced trainer off. The bent her Sygna Suit gave her was made her one heck of a wildcard.

"I'm actually here because a cache of Sharpedonite was discovered inside ancient ruins deep within the Seafloor Cavern last year. Supposedly the back half's unexplored. You with me?" Little did she realize how dangerous the aquatic ruins would be...!

Allegra's gaze lingered upon the vacant saddle and she felt the sudden, keen urge to ask why on the gods' green earth this girl hadn't at the very least moved it. This looked dreadfully unsafe, to the extent that merely looking was enough to make her nervous. Still, judgment was terribly unbecoming. This strange arrangement clearly worked for the pair, and so it wasn't any of her business. The violinist looked away, downwards, and stroked the scales of her Milotic.

[break][break]

"Well, I hope you're enjoying the experience," was all that Allegra said, with sincerity despite her misgivings. "Oh my, a Ranger? Quite the noble career path. I'm Allegra Burns, a coordinator, and this —" she gestured towards her own Milotic, "— is Adagio. It's a pleasure, Shalin, and of course Levy and Shadraz."

[break][break]

As the woman went on, though, her calm demeanor gave way first to curiosity and then to alarm. Not on her own behalf, no, as much as on Cadenza's. Surely the Primarina would know better than to go that far into the cavern alone, though... Surely.

[break][break]

"Are you quite sure it's safe for an... exploration party to consist of so few people?" Allegra asked, remaining composed thanks to her many years of practice. "Although, even if it is, I have never ventured into ruins before... I will accompany you as I must reunite with my Primarina — but I can't guarantee that I will go all the way."

The shark's demeanor was calm, unlike most of her kind: a sign that she was well-behaved. It was wondrous what Captains could do with Pokémon known for being predators. "I am!" she chirped back. "I get a lot of questions about it; before I was a captain, I used to call myself Hoenn's wildest Pokémon rider!" The Milotic thrust Shalin with a powerful swish of his tail to demonstrate, the green-ette looking as talented as a cowgirl at a Unovan rodeo.

"Great to meet you too, Allegra,"
she continued, Shabraz swimming next to Shalin and making a circle around Allegra. "I have a lot of respect for coordinators. The only type of Pokémon Contest I've ever entered was a Pokémon race, at the Mauville Leader's request. The kid who leads that Gym is an animal. I don't know how he does it."

The veteran explorer didn't seem concerned by the size of the party at all. "Remember, we're not just two people. We're two people and our Pokémon. Let's head on in!" Leading the way through the tunnel, a grin on her face as Levy's tail swished her about, the two surfaced inside the ruin. The biggest feature that jumped out at Shalin was how large it was: a central tower three stories high, surrounded by doors, tunnels, and other entrances on all four sides. Terastal, sapphire-like gemstones emitted a blue light that made it possible to see without that of a flashlight or Pokémon.

"Thankfully, the Rangers provided me with a map of the known part of this place. That way, we shouldn't get too lost until we head for the unknown parts. They said we might need some fast water Pokémon to navigate the place, too."

Allegra simply nodded her head in agreement at first, though when the other Milotic decided that a demonstration was in order she only just managed to keep her surprise — and the stab of fear that went through her — from showing. If not for her many years of experience in maintaining perfect composure, she might well have shrieked at that sight. If nothing else it was clear that Shalin had a talent for this and Levy too was enjoying himself, or so it seemed. For her part, the coordinator stroked her own Milotic's head once more; whether to calm him or herself, she wasn't sure.

[break][break]

"You've more than earned the right to call yourself that," was Allegra's only comment, with a small smile that widened as they went on to discuss coordination. "Why, thank you. I've never considered Pokémon Contests to be all that difficult, myself, but I have always had a talent for the arts. I enjoy them greatly." She made no mention of how a thing as simple as her enjoyment was a form of defiance, let alone of how merely participating in contests was a way to regain her agency. In fact, she banished all thoughts of her family as soon as they surfaced. "I can't say I'm familiar with the Mauville City Gym. What do you mean by... an animal, exactly?"

[break][break]

She would much rather have stayed here and kept up amiable conversation, yet Shalin was already leading the way into the ruins. Resigned, Allegra spurred her own mount to follow, though the Ranger's reassurance had done nothing to assuage her concerns. Even with their Pokémon the party was still small, with only six members — and that was counting the presently absent Cadenza.

[break][break]

For all her worry, though, Allegra had to admit that she was impressed by the ruins. She craned her neck this way and that, taking in every detail of the gorgeous architecture and showing her awe openly, if discreetly. "I will have to compose a song in honor of this place," she murmured, more to Adagio than to Shalin, only half-listening to the latter's words.

[break][break]

"Yes, I assumed you had a map," Allegra said, absently, her eyes still on the towers. They were marvelous, so much so that even the implication that Shalin would have led her here without a map didn't phase her. It barely even registered. "This place... It must have been here that a legendary Pokémon once dwelt, if the stories are true."

Everyone had their talents. Shalin's was in befriending Pokémon, sometimes in unusual ways. Several of her Pokémon she had caught by ambushing them from above, mounting them while still wild, and fighting to wear them out. Many wild Pokémon respected the strength of trainers who could tussle with them -- even predators like Sharpedo. She still remembered the sting of Shabraz trying to buck her off. And now the Sharpedo was one of her main aquatic Pokémon. "So Mauville Gym is run by my friend from Johto, . We moved to Hoenn together about two years ago. He has a talent for riding Pokémon, too, but we couldn't be more different. He loves going fast. Really fast. Race car fast. That's what his Gym is all about, too. I tried taking his challenge once, and I couldn't even take it. I got dizzy after the first lap around one of his tracks." It didn't help that the race was Iron Leaves versus Iron Boulder, Josh about to much better handle the paradox Sword's hoof thrusters much better than she could.

Though Shalin only had six Pokémon with her, Allegra had a team of her own. That was more than enough to keep them safe in the Captain's eyes. Though she didn't have a physical map, and the duo were too far underground to get cell phone signal, running her phone in local mode let her view it without being connected to RangerNet. "Ranger technology is something else," she mused as she showed her companion the map of the four-level ruins. It seemed the only parts that hadn't been cleaned out were to the north. Withdrawing her Milotic and Sharpedo, Shalin released the second one on dry land. Mounting it at an awkward angle, Shabraz made a single flailing motion to express her discomfort and need to get back underwater.

"I'm sure we'll find out," Shalin smiled, gesturing toward the water's surface one story beneath them. "Ready to dive?" It was more a warning than a question, an AQUA JET from the dark-type's rear sending the Captain over the precipice and splashing into the water ten feet below.

Allegra found it difficult to believe that there existed any manner of riding challenge that Shalin would struggle with, as the other woman was a true wildcard of a Pokémon Trainer; which she'd made plain in a matter of minutes, no less. Still, the violinist nodded along out of politeness if nothing else.

[break][break]

She leaned over to look at the map afterwards, giving the ranger captain another nod. "Very impressive," she agreed, although in truth she was even more worried about this impromptu exploration now that she had seen the layout of the ruins. Before she had a chance to protest again, Shalin was already gone.

[break][break]

"Oh, I am not ready to dive," she lamented to her Milotic, though dismounted all the same. He lowered his head to nuzzle hers, and Allegra sighed. "Thank you, mio bambino. Be gentle, would you?"

[break][break]

Water Pulse was, of course, fundamentally ungentle. Still, the landing wasn't so bad even though it left her body aching: An Araquanid and a Corsola were down below, and the latter in particular took a shine to her immediately. She gasped as the Coral Pokémon not only approached but also tugged at her hand.

[break][break]

"My, how darling," Allegra said, bending to pat the wild Corsola, but it merely pulled at her hand once more. As Adagio joined her, realization suddenly struck. "Oh! Have you met a Primarina?" At the sound of Corsola’s cry, she smiled. "I appreciate your willingness to help. Perhaps... You would like to officially join the three of us?"

[break][break]

So saying, Allegra held up a Dive Ball with which to catch the Coral Pokémon. Looking over her shoulder, she added, "My apologies for the delay, Shalin."

Shalin would wait for Allegra to complete her preparations. Rather than her normal nonsense, she would instead sit in the saddle proper, looking more like how a typical trainer would swim with the vicious shark. "Alright, when you're ready, let's go!"

With that, the Captain and Shabraz dove into the water with a powerful AQUA JET, swimming down to the lower level and exploring a passage to the unexplored north. On its other side were damp mortars only wet from their humid environment -- about half a story up. Backing into the corner, she could see an ornate door just past the precipice, its corner the only part not obscured by the tall ledge.

Returning to Allegra's side, she surfaced and slowed her companion her map again. "There's a whole wing of this place to the north on the lower level, but the stairs to it collapsed. How good are your Pokémon at jumping? We'll need to clear a few feet. Should be a piece of cake for a Pokémon like Milotic or Sharpedo."

She'd apologized for the delay only for it to turn out that Shalin was perfectly happy to begin the exploration proper on her own. Now if only she were happy to undertake it by herself as well... Alas, with her dear Cadenza being somewhere in these ruins the violinist could not take this chance to abscond — although, even if the Primarina were present, it would have been terribly rude to do such a thing. She might be a criminal, but she had never let that turn her into an uncouth savage; and she certainly wasn't about to start now, over such a trifling matter no less.

[break][break]

For it was a trifle, she told herself, it was sure to be if a Ranger Captain thought so. Certainly, this Shalin Nariya was... unconventional, but one had to be capable in her position. She'd sat upon the saddle quite properly just before departing, too. Allegra exchanged a look with her Milotic, then reached to pinch the bridge of her nose.

[break][break]

Afterwards she let go of the Dive Ball in her hand with an elegant flourish, releasing the Corsola again. Ah, and here was this expedition's leader. At her question, Allegra couldn't help but chuckle.

[break][break]

"I am a coordinator, remember? Adagio could have jumped over those stairs in his days as a Feebas. As for this little one..." Picking the Corsola up, she climbed onto the saddle effortlessly. "Lead the way, please."

"...Fair," the Captain slowly responded afterward. If Allegra was a talented coordinator, clearing a ledge a few feet high wouldn't be an issue for the Milotic. "We're gonna have to build up speed in the sunken hall, then when the surface is visible above us, that's when we jump." Timing would be important; rising too early would cause Pokémon and rider to scrape their heads against the ceiling, and too late could result in a concussive impact for the Milotic. Shabraz, being an aggressive Sharpedo before trying and failing to buck Shalin off, was headstrong enough that ramming into a wall wouldn't put her out of commission for long.

"Alright, let's go!" With the grace of a Palafin, the shark sunk beneath the surface, only to make the leap of several feet with little trouble. The only thing that stung a little was landing on moist rock above, Shalin forced to withdraw her Sharpedo. Even she had been thrown for a loop, the deceleration from being atop a marine Pokémon sliding across land sending her flying from the shark's back. She could only hope Adagio handled the sea to air transition more cleanly.

Stepping through another short hall leading deeper into the Seafloor Temple, the sound of rushing water was the first herald of the hazard before them: a large, chaotic pool of currents fueled by several wild Pokémon using WHIRLPOOL, as well as a short waterfall on the west side. Checking the MAP and COMPASS that and had left the Captain, it seemed the way forward was beyond that waterfall. "Think we can make it up with our Pokémon?" she asked Allegra. "Or do we go around the long way?"

there must be something strangely sacred in salt; it is in our tears and in the sea.

Allegra merely nodded along at the Ranger's words, seeing no need to make a response; in truth, Shalin's explanation was rather unnecessary, but she was too polite to say so. At least it served as an instruction of sorts for her Milotic, who needed no more than a light press of her ankles to his serpentine body in order to dive and pick up speed.

[break][break]

Not so much speed that he sent his Trainer and her charge flying, however. He would not have been much of a performer if he hadn't been able to make a measured, graceful leap. The coordinator hadn't expected anything less, but even so she wished she could have seen him breaking the surface and flying upwards. That would've been a sight to behold, no doubt, and one wasted on Shalin given her state; which Allegra had the decency not to comment on.

[break][break]

Petalburg's Captain, true to her rank, recovered quickly enough and the pair went onward as though nothing had happened. They passed a wild Dewgong and Garganacl before reaching a grand waterfall where several other Pokémon had gathered. Allegra surveyed them while her companion did the same with the map, then paused at Shalin's question. She was reasonably confident in the ability of her own Pokémon to make the leap, but not so much when it came to the other woman's.

[break][break]

In fact, she was more worried than anything after that disastrous display.

"As confident as I am in Adagio's skill," she said at last, delicately, "it's safer if we take the long way around. Besides, we may well encounter Cadenza before reaching the waterfall."
