As Ryan set off on the back of Dio one way, Rya kicked her heel softly into Zephina's side and the pair headed along the opposite side of the island.
It was somewhat odd riding on top Of Zeph now, she was a lot higher from the ground than before, which took a little getting used to. Luckilly the Horse Pokemon could sense a little of Rya's apprehension and took things smoothly to begin with.
Rya imagined that this island was once truly beautiful, it was a shame to see how desolate it had become. Though she couldn't complain, riding on the back of her newly evolved Rapidash certainly made the journey sweeter.
As the pair galloped through darkened terrain, the smell of old ashes clogged the air. Zephina had been riding for a good 40 minutes or so, it was probably a good time to take a rest and let the remainder of the team stretch their legs. Rya knew full well that Squishy would enjoy the environment and that Tai was probably missing her attention.
The gallop broke down into a small trot before the pair stopped beside an old unused building.
In it's day it would of most likely been a grand mansion, Rya could tell this from the carved pokemon that lay outside.
Even though the carvings were molded and doused in ash, she could make out that one was a Growlithe and the other was a Vulpix.
She placed her hand on the dog pokemons head and pushed aside the dust. Her will to save kanto was growing stronger by the minute, there was beauty here, even under all the smog.
Rapidash began chuffing in the background. Bringing Rya back to reality. It was time to let everyone out.
Three beams of light danced into the air, bringing out her remaining three pokemon.
Rya had forgot how small her team had become. Though they were still strong, it hit her again that Osha was no longer here.
