Sheba immediately felt guilty since she was basically the one who had made Sleet use her powers so much, even though she hadn't asked directly to use something like this. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ask you to take the lead. I didn't mean to pressure you into this." And there was seemingly nothing she could even do to help Sleet now. Sheba smiled sheepishly. "Well, I'm definitely ready to go, but you should more look at yourself, if you're ready. You're right and we should move, but if it makes you collapse if you don't take a break now, we should." She looked up to where the path is cleared. "Though we should probably check if this way leads us to a cave. I'd rather take a break inside instead of out here in the snow. Can you get up? You can lean on me if you want."

Dana blinked in amazement, as Sleet seemed to drive the snow away. "That would be useful..." she muttered.
"Indeed. I think there are some places where Ice-type Pokemon are given similar jobs."
However, both of them stopped talking when they noticed Sleet's collapse. Dana paused, not sure whether to offer aid. After all, Sheba was already doing so. But would it seem wrong to not offer help?
"Hey, we can help too," added Mumble. "Or she can," he corrected himself, jerking a flipper at Dana. "I'm sure she can take your weight, or half of it, I guess."

Sleet looked up, amazed that the two girls were so willing to help her. Looking more at Sheba for a second, she realized that the girl felt guilty about the whole incident. "Heh. Thanks you two. I... Don't know what to say, since no one's ever really treated me so kindly before, other than Candice, but she's no where near here. But, I think that I can make it." she said, managing a smile. Slowly, she struggled to her feet, and stood there for a second, trying to make sure she had her balance. Then, bending down, she scooped up a handful of the snow, and, oddly enough, rubbed it on her face. Almost immediately, her colors began to come back, and she felt better. It seemed that the ice was quite rejuvenating to the young Pokemorph, and that she was in much better condition. "Yeah, I'll be fine, though, a little break wouldn't be bad for me. So let's try and get to the caves, since I don't want to slow us down on our search."

Sheba blinked, quite surprised. This was similiar to what she had thought when Sleet had given her the cap. Had Sleets life been that bad before Trilotics, too? Maybe the legendary Pokémon picked humans who were treated not that well in their old home?
Sleet was up before Sheba could even help her. She watched a bit surprised how Sleet used the snow, but it probably was normal for someone who was part ice Pokémon, so Sheba didn't question it. She nodded. "Yes, let's move on quickly then. But say something if you start to feel overly bad again! That's better than you fainting on us!" She thought about something. "Do you want to take the lead again so we can go in whatever speed is fine for you? Or do you want me to go first? The wind is pretty nasty and it would maybe help if I would shield you a bit, but then again, I don't know how bad it is for an ice Pokémorph."

"No, we have to get going. I'd hate to be the one slowing us all down, and I think I'll be okay, especially once we're in the cave systems and can really take a break." she told them, trying to keep her game face on. She wasn't going to lag behind, and therefor, she took the lead, moving at a moderate pace, though much faster than most people might have expected from someone who had just exhausted herself. Of course, the snow did a lot of good, but she wouldn't be able to last forever, even with more snow around her.

Sheba accepted it, even though with a bit of worry, when Sleet decided to take the lead and walked on up the mountain after the Pokémorph, trying to pay attention to the other girl in case she was hiding a worsening condition, but it was hard if you only saw a person's back and Sheba also had to watch the ground. The snow was cleared now, but she still wore the wrong shoes for a hike and had to be careful not to stumble.
The snowfall got more serious the higher they went up and Sheba really hoped they would reach the caves soon. She couldn't really see anything, though, since Sleet was in front of her. She was starting to pant herself, not used to such a walk. "Is there anything visible yet? Any cave?" she asked. "I'd love to walk on some ground that isn't tilted upwards."

"No, I don't really see anything yet, but I'm sur- Ahhhhhh!" she suddenly screamed. The girl found herself falling rapidly, and had no time to twist her body around for a safer landing. Landing with quite the solid 'thud', she let out a gasp, the wind suddenly knocked out of her. "This... Is such.. A... Great... Day." she gasped, blinking quickly to rid her eyes of the tears that had begun to form from the pain. "Hey... Be carefull... And... Jump down." she called, praying to Articuno - the real one - that they could hear her from down in what seemed to be a cave with many different tunnels connecting it to others. It seemed that although Sleet might have caused herself a bit more pain, she'd finally found what they were looking for. Though, she did question why there was such a whole on the side, but it really didn't matter. Now, they could really begin their search, which was what they needed to focus on

"Sleet!" Sheba rushed to the hole and looked down, but it was hard to see something. Worried that Sleet was hurt, she hesitated for a moment. She was scared of hurting herself, too, but in the end, she jumped, hoping she wouldn't break her legs. Sheba landed a bit unluckily and got her clothes dirty, but managed to stay mostly unharmed. "Sleet, are you alright?" She rushed to the girl before looking up. "Dana, come down!"
Then she looked around. "Wow, looks like we could easily get lost in here. We need something to mark our way. It's at least a bit warmer..." She sighed. "My poor fire Pokémon will freeze to death, but we need some light if we want to explore. Or does someone else have a better idea how to get some portable light?"

"I think I'm okay... Just... I just need to catch my breath." she said, truly exhausted. Of course, when she thought about what Sheba had said, she realized that if the group could find some kind of flammable item, they'd be able to make a torch to light their way in the tunnels. Sure, it would've been a lot more helpful if one of them had the move flash with them, but that didn't seem to be the case, so they'd have to make due with what they could get. "Hey. We need to see if there's anything flammable here, so that we can light it and then try to keep it going." [/color] Sleet said, trying to get herself up again. It seemed that she'd need to wait a bit though, much to her dismay. After a few failed tries, she decided to simply move herself to one of the cave walls, and prop herself up against it.[/center]

"I wonder if something like that is here. This seemed to be a hidden entrance. Do you think people were here before?" Sheba smiled wryly. "Makes me wish we would have found the Moltres egg already and have it hatched, haha." She quickly hurried to Sleet's side when the girl seemed to have trouble getting up. "Sleet, careful! We'll rest here! You have been through enough pain, really. We'll take it slow from here..." She looked up. How would they get out of here, anyway? They couldn't climb back up and none of them seemed to have a flying Pokémon strong enough to carry them yet.

"Hehe. Truth be told, I wish that Lord Articuno was having us look for three cloned eggs, since I'd be overjoyed to have the clone Articuno. But any of the legendary birds would be helpful, since they could help us get out. But, well. Sheba, can you try to find a long piece of stone, or something that I can wrap my extra tank around?" The idea of burning the last thing she had from Maylene was a bit depressing, but she knew that Maylene would've shunned her and put her in the back of the gum for hesitating, as would Candice. Getting the backpack out from behind her with a bit of twisting around, Sleet opened it up, and took everything out, trying to see if there was any alternative. To her dismay, there wasn't, since she hadn't found anything else that was hers from before Trilotics. A single tear fell down her cheek, but it was almost pitch black, so there was almost no chance anyone would ever know about it. "We... We'll burn this, so we can start moving."

(I just got an egg from Taya. o3o Allow me to put that in? I love mah new egg! We could do stuff with it! Did someone else get something, too? ) " I actually would love that. If only for the fact that we would all get a Pokémon then. I find it quite sad that one or two of us may end up with something as grand as a legendary Pokémon and the rest with nothing at all." It really bothered Sheba. She nodded at Sleet's request and started to look around as good as she could, mainly around the hole in the ceiling so she could see what she was looking at. Finally, she found a suitable stone, but it was quite big and heavy. " Here's one, but that one weighs a ton. Do we have a Pokémon strong enough that could carry it?" She carried the stone with quite a few problems back to Sleet, who looked rather...sad? " Sleet, are you alright?" Sheba looked at what Sleet had taken out. " There must be some other way than burning your belongings! I'll just call out my fire Pokémon and we'll see if that's enough?" In this moment, Sheba saw something behind Sleet, a few meters away, sitting between two rocks. " What is that?" She walked up to it - and stared. " H-hey, people..." The girl picked up the object and carried it back towards where the light fell in. " Look what I just found!" " It's an egg! A red egg!" Sheba stared at Sleet. " That...can't possibly be a Moltres, right? Right?"

Sleet immediately recoiled from the egg, resisting the urge to almost hiss at it. After a second though, she realized how insane she must have looked, and apologized. "I'm... I'm so sorry. Congratulations on finding the egg, I just... Well, I just hate fire types. At least, I hate one that would have such power. I guess it's just my instincts to..." After a few seconds, Sleet coughed a bit, but managed to get herself back on her feet. "Okay, so, what's the plan now?"
(Fail post. Sorry... But yeah, we can definitely work with it. ^^)

Sheba blinked in surprise at Sleet's reaction until she explained herself. "Well, I guess that makes sense..." The egg felt cold to the touch, though. "But we don't even know what will hatch from this egg. It might belong to some other Pokémon, for all we know. I wonder if it's alright to just take it like that..." She wouldn't want to take an egg from its parents. "Let's keep our eyes out for other Pokémon. I'll keep the egg and put it in my satchel for now, it's the warmest place we have, I suppose." It was hard to put another egg into it since she already had two, but she managed. "Maybe we should look around a bit more? If this is really the egg of the legendary Moltres, the egg of Zapdos might not be far away?" She took out the Pokéball of her Chimchar, but hesitated then. "Is it okay for you if I call out my fire Pokémon for light? Or would you really rather burn your things, if you hate them so much?"

Dana had barely blinked before it seemed like everything was happening at once. She rushed forward, nearly throwing herself down the slope as well. However, she managed to catch herself, and clamber her way down.
"It's warm!" she exclaimed, looking at the egg and unconsciously moving closer to it.
"It will need warmth to hatch, won't it, though?" she added. "Although it looks like it could warm itself..."
"Well, it might run out of energy," replied Mumble. "It's probably better for the egg if we provide it with a constant source of outside warmth."
"Maybe we could tuck it into someone's jacket?" suggested Dana, then paused. No one seemed to have a jacket.
