Due to inactivity, for his own safety, Talen is retreating to the Pokémon Center for this mission.

Yang and Ruby are the last two down the manhole. Yang sighs loudly, hearing the chatter waft up the pipe as she slowly descends down the ladder. "Figures that they'd throw everyone in one group. Going together with the likes of the gardener and the mechanic is just going to make things difficult....even if the latter does seem like he knows what he's doing."

Reaching the bottom, she looks up for a moment to check how Ruby's doing, but she quickly averts her eyes, looking around to see if anyone was taking advantage of the gloom of the sewers to steal a glimpse up her sister's skirt. "She just had to wear that, didn't she..."

Slowly, a frustrated Ruby progresses rung by rung down the ladder, mumbling wishes for some clothing more suitable for something like this. But in a time of crisis, it's not like people are selling clothing, with all the cloth being held back to make bandages and such, so her normal outfit would have to do. And it's not like she could have known beforehand that they'd be coming to the sewers when she put her name down either.

Once at the bottom, her hand moves instinctively to the Pokéball held by a thin chain around her neck, releasing her doppleganger Ralts and cradling it softly in her arms. "T-the stench down here....how can any of the others stand this?"

Cardin makes a loud sniff as he inspects the lantern that Officer Jenny had given him. "Unlike her, I'm not as blind as a Zubat. The light will alert any Pokemon to our presence. We should do this in the dark with the people who can see best in the dark taking point and covering the rear..." He grimaces, and turns the lantern on. "Though, without any safety lights down here, it'd be suicide." He turns to the assembled group. "Anybody here got a Pokémon with Flash?"

Sven, who had taken off downstream, plods along with no encounters. However, the light from the manhole is getting rapidly dimmer, making it difficult to see in the darkness. There's nothing else of note, except perhaps a constant sound coming from farther down the tunnel that's too quiet to make out at this point.
