Good Arceus this place was a deathtrap. Mostly because of the higher-in-terms-of-level Pokemon here. Oh, and the traps. There were pages of them in the books and scrolls she'd read, but wow, that Warp Trap she'd stepped on as soon as she'd entered another room that had a couple of good-looking loo-- now that, that was tragically inconvenient. Now she was in another empty room. Either way, she had to get a move on, or she would never find out what lay at the end of the Crystal Caves.
However, as soon as she took a step, a frightened Beldum frantically flew into the room and caught sight of her. They stood looking at each other, eye-to...eyes. It was as if the Beldum was sizing up Pulse, as though it were weighing its chances against her.
The Espurr's fur stood on end right as it threw a telekinetic wave at her. Luckily that wasn't very effective, but if she wasn't careful it could've confused her. "All right then... ought to try my luck," she said. With the knowledge of what Pokemon she'd read would be most likely to appear in the first floor, she gathered her energy, and used a move at random-- and stumbled when what felt like an earthquake ensued!
Looking up, she saw the Beldum staring at her-- almost as if it were amused. Right. It can levitate, so of course that wouldn't have had an effect on it, Pulse thought, shakily. It moved in for a heavy slam, getting injured in the process, injuring her further.
O-One more try... I don't know any other moves I can bet on! She gathered her energy again and leapt, this time baring her fangs and chomping into the Beldum. All ri-- wait, whaaa--! went through the Espurr's mind as the Beldum flew around the room like crazy, as though something in it had been triggered. Pulse held on for dear life, her fangs still darkened and embedded in the metal, not wanting to receive more damage from possibly getting flung clear across the room.
