Anina blushes and starts shuffling her feet, "W-Well, I-I, uh, I /kinda/ c-can, I mean, I /did/ p-pass "Dark Seeometry" class b-back in Hex Maniac S-School, b-but it was a very, VERY generous C-! I h-had to really b-beg for it, y'know..."
"So you can?"
"W-Well, I mean, my Litwick can probably do it b-better. D-Don't diss him off just yet, h-he may be small and c-cute desu, but h-he's tough, r-really!"
To showcase her point, Anina quietly releases her cute candle ghost, who pops out of his pokeball with a delightfully childish yet volume-minded cheer.
"Liiiit!~" the candle joyfully proclaims.
In caution to your light debate issues, Litwick keeps his flame on lowbrow to not attract any attention. Although there doesn't /seem/ to be any wild Pokemon around, just by the lack of noise.
Anina bends down to the tiny candle's level, and as soon as she does, Litwick becomes a bit too overly attached and starts nuzzling her affectionately, "U-Um L-Litwick, t-this is no time for g-games...u-um I need y -your help, c-can you scan the room with your ghost eyes?"
"Lit, lit!~"
Both of Anina's Pokemon seem to have affection issues, you've noticed.
"Wick, wick, Litwick~" while quietly cheering, Litwick inspects the tremendous cavern with his glowing, darkness-piercing eyes. At first, he detects nothing, but then he catches something that completely sends him off his rockers.
"Lit, lit lit, Litwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!" spooked out of his mind, the tiny candle rushes to take cover behind Anina.
"W-What? What did you s-EEEEEEEEP!"
Anina promptly hides behind /you/ as two big white looming orbs look down at you. They blink twice, and then a long tentacle starts coming your way.
A) Attack and defend your wife!
B) Talk shit to it and hope you don't get hit.
C) Anina gets tenta-captured.
D) Slowly approach it.
