Paula was confused when Peach said she would like to accompany Paula further, but she just simply passed It off as Peach being Peach and watched as the princess landed on Perry In the water, Tail's meanwhile offered to go through the gap himself and he was a perfect fit, unfortunately Perry could not accompany him, Paula walked towards the bars and grabbed on It, looking at Tail's and speaking to him. "Good job Tail's just go see If you can find anything at the end of the tunnel that could help us get out of this pit." Paula said to Tails as she looked back at Peach, who offered to let her join the Perry voyage.

"Oh, no thanks, It's fine just standing here, even If the water is halfway up my waist."

Tails meanwhile would now find himself in a slightly wet and dirty tunnel, however should he keep walking, he would hear the sounds of running water, in fact at the end of the tunnel there was water running down through It, If Tail's wanted to leave this tunnel then he has to go through the water.

Once he did he would find himself in a large area, just below him was a river leading out to somewhere unknown, It's best not to investigate this without the others, but there Is a small path he could land on in front of him, If he did then he would find a switch nearby, It look's interesting...

But should he pull It?

"I will try. Just hang on. I'll see if there is something to get you three out of there!" Tails stated as he turned around and ran down the sewers like area. Near the end he saw the water flowing out of the place. This water was extremely filthy and was getting all over his fur. He was going to need to take a major bath when they get home. Animal fur can be such a chore to maintain at times...

That flow probably lead out from what he can tell. However, he can't leave without Paula, Peach and Perry, so maybe there was something else here. He looked around a moment before sighting a side path. Down it was a solitary switch and he stared at it for a short bit of time.

Is pulling that really a good idea? What if it triggered some kind of trap instead? Pulling random levers did have their consequences if you did not know what they did... Tails looked around and determined he did not see anything else on the way here... "... Well, I guess I have little choice... I need to see what this thing does. Here goes nothing..." Tails talked to himself before reaching out to pull the switch.

Peach just sort of looked at Paula and then the water the other was standing in. Back at Paula, then the water, then Paula again. The water. ...She seemed a little distressed by the choice. Just a little. "Are you sure, Paula..? You might get sick..." Peach asked softly, leaning over the edge of the bowlbrella. It seemed oddly resilient to flipping for an umbrella boat. Probably perry's doing.

Upon pulling the switch, nothing on Tail's end...Seemed to happen, meanwhile Paula just shook her head at Peach...Before looking as the bar behind her quickly pulling Itself up, allowing the rest of the group to leave the pit and meet up with Tail's. "Nice, Tail's did It!" Paula said as she grabbed her stone and looked at Peach and Perry as she got up from the water and stood up In the sewer like area Tail's was In a few minute's ago, she quickly called out to the fox.

"TAIL'S, YOU DID IT, WERE COMING TO MEET YOU NOW!" Paula said...However the area she, Peach and Perry were In started to shake. "What was that?" Paula said in curiosity as the area shook again, she turned and gasped at something behind Peach and Perry, she pointed and simply said. "W-W-Water ahead!" She shouted as a wave of water started to head It's way from the tunnel behind the group, normally someone would run away from the incoming wave, but Paula wanted to get Peach and Perry out of the pit first, so quickly she ran toward's them and lifted her hand's towards the princess and umbrella.

"Quick, grab m---BRRGH!" It was too late, the wave smashed through the bar's and hit the group, sending them toward's Tails. "WEE!" Paula said as she was sent flying out of the tunnel and towards an entrance behind Tail's, the water quickly headed toward's Tail's as well so he could join the rest In the next area...Which turned out to be the exit.

Paula landed In the ocean just outside Nowhere Island and swam back up to where the group was, her head now the only thing shown In the water as she spit out some of the water In the process, the Sanctuary Stone floating up just in front of her. "Is everyone ok?" She said to the group as sky started to shine, signalling that It's about to be morning, as the area started to lit up, Paula saw something from afar.

It was Pokemon Cove...No pocket monster's were awake yet though, but It did help give Paula somewhere to swim toward's. "Quickly, I can see Pokemon Cove from over here." Paula said as she swam towards It, grabbing the sanctuary stone In the process...A few minutes later...Paula made It to the sandy shores of the cove and lied her head on the sand, breathing heavily...Before quickly looking up to see If the group had made It.

"Were safe...And we got the stone, so Leder did help us a bit." She said to the group as she looked at the morning sky happily. "Thank you...Everyone...For helping me get the Sanctuary Stone, you three are really are one of the best people In my life's." She said as she smiled at the Princess, Fox and Umbrella.

"Now...We wait for a signal In this stone."

(You may make an end of presence post now.)

"We should get back to the Life Sphere now before the feral pocket monster's know of our presence."

Tails waited for something to happen... Yet nothing was going on from here... Maybe it was a valve release switch... That would not be very good for them... "Hm..." Tails pondered with a hand cupping his chin as he thought to himself. His train of thought paused however when he heard Paula say he did it.

Tails happily ran back to the main area and looked down the path he came for the others... And stopped as he heard the sound of rushing water traveling through. Tails looked and saw Paula and the rest of the group being swept towards him. He knew where the water was going, and has had a bad experience with these kinds of things, so he turned around and quickly jumped out the exit.

... He landed on the ground face first after his jump. He pulled himself up and shook his head after that headache of a landing. He looked up as the others emerged and noticed that they were in... Pokemon Cove? How did they end up here? This place was nowhere near the Mushroom Ruins he thought...

"Glad we could help. Let's head back home," Tails agreed as he turned around and began to head back. He briefly pondered the idea of Pokemon being feral... That seemed rather redundant considering they did seem more feral in nature... He brushed it off though as he was just happy to leave that place behind.

Peach just gave Paula her best no way am I gettin' out of this boat look just before the water impacted them. "Wa--Waaaah!" Peach blurted out, as she rode the wave on Perry, cowering in the bowbrella as they were spirited away by the flush of water. Only after everything came to a stop did she peak out from the bowbrella, which looked as if it had entirely encapsulated her for the journey. "Phew... That was a little close." Peach replied, appearing relieved that she hadn't had to get soaked. She began to float along with Paula, just kind of riding Perry back to shore. What a useful umbrella! When Peach finally got to shore she hopped out and pulled Perry up, gently twirling him to free a bit of lingering sea water off of his canopy.

The pair giggled at at Paula in response to her compliment, smiling in unison in response. "Wow, do you mean it?" Perry asked, apparently impressed. "Always happy to help, Paula. I'd like to help you find the diary too when the time comes." Peach would reply, beaming a bit. She turned to leave, but suddenly something occurred to her. "Paula..? May I accompany you back to your apartment? There's something I've been meaning to ask you." Peach would ask. Either way, they were heading the same way--and Peach would promptly depart upon receiving her answer.
