Quinn looked around as they teleported inside. She shivered at the cold. "come on let's look around."

Vinny blinked at the sudden change in light but he was use to the dark and eerieness, I liked it. He turned to Lyle the thin shafts of light catching the electric blue rings of his eyes making them glow "Hi." He said softly "I'm Vinny."
I had a Llama named Lyle ))

Lyle nodded in agreement, as Alya sent out her Claydol. She instructed it to use Flash, but a dim flash to not startle the Pokemon. She hummed at the simplicity of the first floor, looking directly across at a staircase, that was cracked and chipped and spotted with ice crystals. She nodded.
"I was told this place has floors. The shrine is at the bottom..." She nodded, leading to the first steps. Almost immeadetly, a few Golbats hissed and flapped, only to land back on the ceiling, merely watching for now.

"It has floors?" Vinny said raising an eyebrow slowly following after her almost slipping twice. "What are we looking for?" He asked, the glittering ice was beautiful but started confusing him after a bit.

Quinn trailed behind the others, keeping quiet.
Shard wandered the building.

"We're checking if whoever has taken Augustine and Shard has done anything to the temple yet...and what they could possibly want. It's been targeted before, but for what, nobody really knows." Alya fretted, carefully avoiding an Ice spot.
The second floor had patches of insanely slippery ice on the floor, sparkling like crystals. It was freezing inside the temple. A large Steelix grumbled and stared with sharp eyes from a corner, but returned to sleep when Alya stated they were friends with their guardian. She sighed. "Careful. This ice can be deadly."

Vinny grumbled his toes cold his converse doing nothing to protect them. "I hate cold." He grumbled vary lightly looking at the floor and how slick and shiny it was. Vinny stepped on it and almost fell flat on his face his hands catching him on the ground.

Quinn moved to walk on the ice. She took a wrong step and slipped, falling down. She groaned softly.

"I'd send out my Infernape, but I get the feeling the ice here is like...important. I don't wanna melt it." Lyle apologized, but he pressed close to Quinn and crouched down to help her up after letting out his Espeon instead to wrap warmly on his shoulders. She purred lightly, resting there. He fretted.
"Quinn? You ok? No breaks or sprains?"
Alya moved to help Vinny, warning. "Ice spots are all over the floor. We must be very careful where we step." She slowly guided him around the ice patch.

"Thank you." He said softly voice echoing. His hands hurt badly and would probably bruise. Vinny sighed watching the floor stepping where he didn't see to much ice.

"That really hurt." Quinn looked up at him as she slowly got up.

The second set of stairs started with Alya's words. "No sign of human activity on this floor. Let's go deeper...maybe we can tell the pokemon here to not let anyone in after us, no matter what." Alya offered.
Lyle helped Quinn around, his sharp sensed Espeon trilling whenever they were close to ice. He spoke to Quinn. "Thank Arceus I don't have to protect this place. It's brutal down here..."

"Yea I'm not a fan of this place." Quinn stayed close to Lyle. "I don't like being cold and the ice.."

Ace heard a voice. He lifted his head to look at the boy. "Yes I am." He said. He wasn't the mostly friend of people and didn't have a lot of social skills. "That's nice." West said, having to look up a little further than was necessary to see Ace's facd, "I just started myself. I'm West, and this is Hazel." He indicated the Sentret in his arms.

Vinny looked down the stairs with a frown "It gets slippier doesn't it." He grumbled looking at Alya. He sighed ready to keep moving hopefully not killing himself in the process.

"I'm Ace." He greeted him with a curt nod. "That's Linoone." He nodded to his pokemon next to him.

"Hah. Kinda makes you feel like they'd choose anyone willing to be the 7th gym leader. Nobody'd want to be up here all year." Lyle snorted, not out of spite, but of annoyed humor. He sighed. "Want Benyay on your shoulders? She's warm." He then brought out Porygon-Z, who activated a tri-attack, but did not fire it, holding the glowing ball of the fire portion near Quinn and Lyle.
Alya paused as the rooms got larger and icier the deeper they got. She nodded in agreement to Vinny.
She looked around, before spotting a simple clump of ice that looked different from the others. Many clumps actually. She hummed. "NeverMeltIce. It's a good item for any pokemon with Ice-Type moves. It grows quickly, so I doubt taking some will bother the pokemon."

Quinn kissed Lyle's cheek. "Thank you." She told him, warming up minimally. She looked around as they walked.

It took alot of near falls and uses of Espeon's psychic to stop Lyle from dying in the stupid temple, but finally the last floor came. "D-d-dear Arceus, it's f-freezing in h-here." Lyle scooted closer to Porygon-Z, who had a very high heat and cold tolerance. Espeon fluffed her pink fur.
Alya was silent though, wide eyed at the center of the massive stone basement of the temple. It was a huge dark grey statue, but it looked...almost alive! Three pillars triangulated around it. She spoke, breath clouding. "It's...a statue. That's the protected artifact?" She asked.

Quinn shivered, looking at the statue. She shook her head and sighed. "It doesn't look like much."

Vinny stared at the statue. A skuffed knee and bruised hands for this? Something was strange about it though as he watched the statue. His body trembled from the cold and teeth chattering slightly but he ignored it.

"Whatever this thing is, Augustine was sworn in to keep it closed up...I'm thinking they want either this statue or the building itself." Alya fretted, walking over to touch a pillar, only to hum. "There's metal right here." She commented at one of the pillars.

Vinny moved closer to the statue "If they are going to try and get in... should someone sty and protect it?" He asked breaking his gaze from the statue to look over at her.

Alya nodded. "Most likely. But unless people have teleporting pokemon, they'd have to guard solely from outside. We're lucky to even get so deep without Augustine here..." Alya nodded.

Vinny bit his lip "I'll do it... I can survive down here." He said looking at Alya and Quinn hoping they wouldn't argue with him about this, if need be they could come and get him every 6 hours. "I know its risky but if it will somehow help find Shard... and Augustine..." he trailed off looking back at the statue.
got to get more drama started. ))

Alya looked surprised. "Vinny. Are you sure about this? It's very cold down here, do you have a teleporting Pokemon?" She asked.
Augustine hissed as he was wrangled into a room, gaping at what looked like a battlefield...

"No you can't. You aren't use to cold like this." Quinn spoke.

Vinny sighed "I have pokemon that can keep me warm. But no I don't have one but my ghost pokemon can move through walls and could go and get you." He replied to them both.

Alya looked nervous, but spoke. "It might work, but only for a few days or even less...I have a better idea. I'll send one of my Abra's from the league to act as a teleporter." She offered wearily, looking at Quinn.
