[ Ikki was hoping the sandstorm might have vanished with the perpetrator, but no such luck. And there's more rumbling and it seems to be coming from everywhere - one of these pokemon is moving around way, way too much, or they're dancing down there, and Ikki's not certain how to find that.
Two more.
The wind and sand isn't hurting her - at least, not enough that Ikki notices - but she does see that Soren looks more harassed, and she growls a little, because while her temper is generally pretty upbeat, she doesn't exactly like the situation. It's more Soren's body language than the need for visibility that causes Ikki to close the distance between them; she doesn't get on his back (it doesn't occur to her, although that would definitely make what she's attempting easier), but she takes a breath and tries to get a bubble of air around them. She's not sure how long she can keep it up in this sort of condition, and it makes it harder for her personally to pay attention to the ground, but at least it should make it easier on Soren.
Also, she can't figure out what the rumbling is up to, anyway. ]
