Not that there was anything Derek could do with it in these next moments. [break] [break] And it wasn't just Derek's life, either. Forced to bail from the Skarmory, he can tell it's not going to stick the landing. It's dead, or dying. A plethora of holes have been punched through by something shot from the black flowers growing along the tree. [break] [break] To avoid a similar fate, Derek reluctantly abandons it to the fall. Trained hands rummage for a pokeball at his holster. Thankfully he's memorized their placement. Releasing a Salamence to save him, Derek is finally able to focus on the comms. [break] [break] Which, as it turns out, is quite a lot. [break] [break] But before he can answer Callan Young who spoke directly to him, a horrid series of pleas and the like drone out everything else. Pretty creepy stuff to hear as Derek made his descent unto the dark below. [break] [break] He spoke his answer, but no voice he knew could be heard in response. [break] [break] Comms might be dead. But that didn't stop him from landing. If one were going to die, it might as well be on their own two feet. Standing. But maybe not the part where he was now surrounded by what were mostly strangers. They all seemed to find their bearings, at least. [break] [break] Before he could even think to do anything, Derek had to know what was going on inside the pitch black. To sate that dire curiosity, another pokemon is let loose. This time an illumina slowpoke is directed to cast a spotlight ahead of Derek, that it may guide him and possibly some others along their way.
