This dungeon had strange mechanics. First, a wall overloaded with electric energy and granted passage. Then, she sliced through rock with her Duoblade (granted even rock was nothing in comparison to the sharp blades). And now.. it sounded as if they needed to set the dirt on fire? Who designed the puzzles here? Because - damn - were they confusing and lacked sense. 

As Gigi gathered the fallen loot, she released the young Shinx from his Pokeball. The golden kitten looked at the larger Pokemon with awe in his eyes. "This is gonna sound weird, but I need you to bite that wall." Shinx turned to his trainer, tilting his head to the side. Luckily, his youth and innocence made his faith in Gigi unshakeable. 

Fire gathered around his fangs as he nommed struck at the dirt. Although the flames melted most of it, the taste of dirt caused his face to scrunch up. He turned with eager eyes, silently asking if he did a good job. Gigi chuckled and knelt beside the golden cub, "Good job, little guy." The praise caused the Shinx to beam.

A metallic raven coat helped the Corviknight blend into the night sky, glimpses only caught when the light of the lanterns would reflect on her armor. She wasn't grumbling like the Salamances nor excited like the Togetic. Instead, she was neutral. It wasn't a particularly thrilling job but she had been given a quest, a mission. Corviknight was not one to fail tasks given to her: no matter how mundane, she acted professionally and saw the job through until the very end.

Corviknight intercepted any lantern caught in rogue currents, herding them away from trees and buildings alike. Sharp eyes paid close attention to her current lieges. The humans oh'ing and ah'ing from the ground were of no importance to her. Despite the jubilant cheers and celebration, Corviknight remained stern and focused. It was as if they weren't even there.

So, masked by the dark of night, she silently continued to manipulate the stray lanterns down the parade route.
