along with those trips made him think otherwise, considering the fact they didn't have long to work with and no better ideas were coming up.
"That's just stupid enough to work!" But how...
Well he had one pokemon powerful enough to bore through the permafrost, his steelix. So that was on issue down, now they just needed the deal with getting it out unseen. For that he also had an idea which involved him tugging Zera down into the gully. Reading his mind, his froslass and haunter both detaching from his form and phased into existence beside him.
"Freeze over the top of this gully, froslass. Haunter, use telekinese and bury the newly formed roof with some of this snow lying around. And be fast about it." He hissed, as if the guards would somehow hear him all the way out here.
The two pokemon went to work, froslass using icebeam to form a convex layer of ice to cap a 12 meter stretch of the gully where the hills shielded them from the view of the base, just incase any of the guards were still on the wall and watching. The translucent ice was then covered up by haunter so the flash of his steelix being sent out would be contained.
Which is exactly what he did after 10 or so terse moments, releasing the steel serpent in the trench about the same time the guard had mobilized and left. "We need a tunnel into that base to the west, just like in celadon. Can you do that?" Holt asked steelix, who grunted once in affirmation before burrowing down through the floor of the gully.
"Lets go!" He said and followed it through the tunnel once it had made progress, motioning for Zera to follow.
