She shrugs and makes an 'after you', gesture.
You recall Rascal, then release Syurm and Latias.
You have to pick Syurm up now, owing to how immobile she is at present and she's gotten heavier, which makes things a little awkward, but it's good to have her back.
"Latias, I want you to scout ahead for us. Try find a safe, hidden place we can make camp with a good source of water and a bit of elevation." You say. "Preferably, a hard to access clearing. Make sure you're not seen."
She chirps, then disappears and heads into the forest.
If you really look, you can just make her out as almost a trick of the light.
"Latios, help Latias look for a place we can camp." Holly says, following your lead as you head down the rough path into the forest.
You keep walking for an hour, picking through brush and negotiating the rough track, skirting Ariados webs and the lairs of other pokemon, before Latias and Latios return and lead you off the path and through the brush, eventually picking the both of you up and ferrying you nearly an hour's walk back west north west, along a stream, then up a cliff to a small clearing next to a waterfall, just big enough for a camp and hidden from the sky by the canopy.
The water is even deep enough to swim if you wanted to, thanks to the stream bed having eroded away a pool, the waterfall itself being relatively short and emptying into a second pool below.
About the only way this spot could be more perfect, is if this clearing was bordering a hotspring.
Your paranoia is sounding alarm bells though.
This place is absolutely perfect... so is it occupied already?
