Oh, G r e a tttt.....

Sasha didn't Skylar at all, she was browsing the selections. It was when her hand stopped dead in its trail that she became aware of her surroudings. She turned to face Skylar, and gave what she thought was a friendly smile, but came out as a jealous grimace. She turned her attention back to the shelf, staring at the book that had caught her eye. It was text on the different 'types' of pokemon, and it brought thoughts of Shade to her mind. I knew I should have named him Hope. But it sounded too girly. She regained her composure, and trailed her finger past the book. She finally found a book on places of power in the world and pulled it off the shelf. It was very dusty, but inside its pressed pages looked untouched in their yellowed glory. She began to read, the first few chapters on the Kanto and Johto landmass.

Skyler watched silently as Sasha got into the depths of the book, and she adjusted her position so the shelves weren't digging as much into her back. "I'd rather hear it from someone then read it," she finally commented absent mindedly, vision fixed on the old, sleeping man.

Sasha looked up at Skylar, nodded, then stared at the pages of the book. "Hey Skylar, you wanna go someplace? You know, like explore? It'll be a while before Shade gets better, so why not?" She didn't move anything but her lips, but she just felt like she couldn't stay near Vermillion.

"Uhmmm, Sure... why not?" She nodded with her words, placing her good hand on her hip. "There's a cave a bit out of town, isn't there?"

"Diglett's Cave, are you serious?! Of all the places in the region, you want to go to Diglett's Cave?! You must be new to Kanto-Jhoto." But Sasha obliged. It would let her train with Mantyke, at the least. "Come on," she sighed, "bring a sweater or somethin' it's cold down there." And she headed for the door, sticking the book in her bag when she was sure no one was watching, though it seemed that, aside from the old man, she and Skylar were alone in the house.

She planted her hand on her hip, teasing slighlty, "So what if I am new?" but she followed, happily. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeplin

Sasha chuckled at the remark, heading past the docks toward a large rock that jutted out of the ground, a hole just big enough to crawl through near the bottom. To the right of the stone, a large dent in the grass left her curious as she crawled in the hole.

Skyler had a bit of diffacultly getting in - her lame arm useless when it came to body strength, but she pulled herself through neverless, brushing away dirt from her pants.
