Dione felt a chill going down her spine. It unnerved her- plus she heard Isaac Merlo and snapped her head up, hand quickly going to the switchblade in her pocket- wait. It was just some nobody. Huffing to herself, she really wished she did this alone. Well, maybe not quite. But at least she had hoped the man would have announced himself, jeez.

"That's gonna get you hurt." She muttered, if he heard her or not, she didn't care. With the rock in her hand, she kept looking it over. It went and clung to the broach she wore, a brow rose. Well that seemed important... and a thrill from her butterfly got her glancing over at the finger prints. Hm. Interesting...

Deciding to try another area, she headed for the Cratered Room. Walking inside, she noticed the hole instantly. Huh... Glancing to Fancy, she motioned. "Light Screen." The butterfly would light up the area, Dione trying to see what she could spy within the area.

Dione glad she was listening, it made her ire settle. Looking back to her, she sighed. "I apologize, I'm actually a expert in bug-types." She offered, trying to soothe over her being so pissed earlier. "If you do want to help, do you have any pokemon with any field abilities? We could trap them in a dome and remove them."

That was one way, she was really trying to avoid a queen vs queen battle. "I just don't want to get them injured. Something had to have uprooted them."

Dione's expression fell. She had to restrain herself from making such a face of pure disgust towards her. Bringing a hand to her temple, she pinched it with a small sigh.

"That isn't a good idea." Blunt and to the point. "You will only enrage the queen, and if they're already aggressive, that won't improve the situation."

A motion was given to to Fancy, along to her other pokeballs at her hip. "I have several bugs that could be used to put them to sleep, to be able to capture one without a conflict. There must be some reason they're being driven to the point of attacking people." Turning back to the swarm, she watched them closely.

"They don't normally get this bad unless something is threatening their hive or queen... but to make a hive this close to town and in a building.." She kissed her teeth, unable to think of the solution. "Could they have been forcefully removed from their old hive.." She was just thinkin gout loud to herself.

"Oh, right. Dione." She said, introducing herself. "This here is Fancy." She pointed to the butterfly.

Well that was one way to get rid of a snake.

But he kept the conversation moving smoothly. Asking her favorite, which had her drumming a finger to the side of her cheek in thought. She preferred moths and butterflies, honestly. "Not quite a favorite Pokemon, more I like the moth and butterflies most." A motion to the butterfly that was fluttering around her head, and the Larvesta in her hands.

You?"

How the hell did she get wrapped up in this mess? Whatever, it was... interesting, at the least. Supernatural always intrigued her, but it was not something she actively sought out. Until today, apparently.

Whoever was with her- well she didn't know them. Or didn't pay them any attention when they all parted. She gave a short, to the point answer to them. "Going to the Caverns." Did she want to go alone? Absolutely not! This place made even her want to run back to her house and hide. Would that stop her? Also absolutely not! She stuck to the things she was doing.

The whole cavern area gave her the hibbie-jibbies. Feeling like something was watching her back.. So that made her let out Fancy, her Villvion. The butterfly fluttered about before landing on her head, turning her back to watch behind her and keep a diligent eye for her trainer.

But even the pokemon felt jittery. Giving quiet trills to her trainer, flattening her wings back as her antenna twitching as she looked each direction. It just felt like danger was around every corner...

Dione knelt down to start looking over some broken geode, turning it over to inspect it, had to start investigating somewhere.

That caught her attention, a brow arching as he said he had bug types. She wanted to ask about them, to see what he had. Bu her eyes traveled up and shrank at the sight of the snake that slithering in the tree behind Theo. Watching him with a hungry look in it's eyes.

A tch came to her throat, as she retrieved the fire-bug within her clothing. "Flame Wheel," She hissed into it's ear. The bug sprang to life, shaking out it's fuzz as flames built up and show towards the snake, startling it enough to back away, hissing at them madly.

"I hate snakes."
