This is the last regular cave we're spending a considerable amount of time in (there'll be a bit with an ice cave much later), so, uh, I decided to make it look cool. It wasn't bad, actually! So should you too ever decide to draw lots and lots of a cave voluntarily for some reason, there is hope! ovob

In-game, I really went to Rijon Tunnel at this point and caught the Dunsparce. Being able to Surf lets you access the entrance, but you need more HMs to get to the deeper levels and meet Nina. There's no way we're going there twice in-story though, and the whole thing fit better here than later, so we got that scene checked off, too.

Once again I took the opportunity to show off all the cool Pokémon available in the area that I didn't catch. Dunsparce is really cool too, but unfortunately it comes too late to ever have a chance to get on the team.

Nina is one of the few characters in Rijon Adventures who have an official design. I gave her a more cave adventure appropriate outfit here, she can wear the fancy one for the Elite Four battle.
She really loves Flying types!! Hope she gets to see a Lugia someday. u_u I really wanted to feature her Aerodactyl instead of the Crobat, but it wouldn't be nice to put it somewhere where it doesn't have enough space to stretch its wings.

So, Lugia, huh? The Lugia in-game is not here but in Silk Tunnel (though all the big caves are also connected in some way, so), which I didn't know, and I....... simply forgot to ever go there again. No epic Lugia encounter for me. But that's okay - it wouldn't have made the story any better, but this joke here sure does. ;D So close, yet so far...


Cameos!!
Again!! This time, I didn't peel them, it's a little chilly in that cave after all. Anyway, they are from very good Nuzlockes that you need in your life RIGHT now!
