Sneasler gives a growl of excitement, recognizing you and Hilda and perking up with interest. Irida helps pull the basket down off of her back, setting it down and opening it up. Both of you can fit in it, but it will be a tight squeeze.
"Myarrrr," she says with a haughty confidence that doesn't fit the "word." She acknowledges your efforts to appeal to her.
Irida smiles, not quite understanding what is going on, but knowing that this is a mission involving higher powers, so it's not necessarily for her to understand. "The peak of Mount Coronet is difficult for even the noble Sneasler to scale, but there are tunnels that should make it accessible by foot. And she should be able to bring you at least most of the way there."
Sneasler finally rises to her full height with both of you in the basket. Be prepared for a long and jostling journey as you climb almost the entirety of the mountain—but she's picking the steepest and most unhospitable slopes to make sure you don't encounter any wild Pokemon on your journey. At long last you will make it close to the summit, where Sneasler lets you down...

He happily climbs in, squeezing in as best as he can. ]
