WAYFINDING: Heavy Downmoor
Who: Akechi, Ren, and Umemiya
What: Wayfinding in Heavy Downmoor!
When: Early October
Where: Heavy Downmoor
Warnings: Peril and environmental hazards. ...also, a grumpy bird.
It's rather aggravating that Volcarona didn't join them. An extra body, particularly a large one, would make this whole ordeal more manageable. The howl of the wind marks a foreboding start of their journey.
Thankfully, they had at least planned ahead. Umemiya's size and steel typing makes him the best equipped to ground them. For everyone's safety, they're tied to one another, at least for the climb, with Akechi taking refuge in Umemiya's scarf, to his chagrin.
Still, from his admittedly comfy perch, he sees a simple enough way to ease their struggles and shifts his position so that he can whip up a Tailwind around them.
"I'll try to maintain our air resistance for as long as I can. We should be mindful of our surroundings and the fact that lightning—"
A distant crackle punctuates his words. Further up, there's a terrifying flash.
"—strikes the tallest objects first."

no worries im kind of all over the place myself rn
... Also, loathe as he is to admit it, the storm has not been kind to his joints. The ache is mostly ignorable nowadays, and while still managable enough right now, he can tell they're going to complain later.
No sense in agitating them more than needed. He did promise everyone he'd take better care of himself.
"That's a good idea," he agrees after a moment, "we have made substantial progress on mapping the place out."

It's a curious thing. Perhaps Ren sees a metallic, horse-like being, while Umemiya sees a dinosaur-like Pokémon rimmed with pearl.
"This statue... it must be a legendary Pokémon." It may not be related to mapping the region, but it is relevant to Akechi's curious mind.
