But, as she takes it in her hands to inspect it, she seems to sense something. She touches a hand to her chest, bowing her head as if listening, but you can't hear anything.
"Oh—I see. The next part of your journey... You'll need to scale Mount Coronet. The Lady Sneasler should be able to help you with that."
She stands, and gives you back the Azure Flute before heading outside.
The Sneasels seem excited for this. Irida pulls out her own flute, white and simple, and she plays a tune. A few moments later, the Lady Sneasler appears, crunching the snow beneath her feet, a basket on her back.
She makes a mildly offended noise as she recognizes you, eyes going wider. Irida starts taking the basket down off of her back, opening it up.
Sneasler wants to bite him... She wants to bite him to prove a point! But Irida notices her tension, resting a hand on her arm.
"Hey, are you all right? This is a holy mission! We all need to work together."
Irida gestures to the basket once it's open, and Sneasler sulkily suppresses her urge to be petty.
"If you ride in here, she'll be able to carry you up near the peak. Then you'll be able to walk on foot the rest of the way to the Temple of Sinnoh's ruins."
Litten and Snorunt are small enough to pose no real issue. The Snovers might be more cramped. As for the Sneasels—
"Well, those Sneasels might be able to climb the cliffs the same way the Lady Sneasler can. They're too small to carry your weight, but they are related types of Pokemon, after all!"
Hmm... Whaddaya think, guys, ya wanna catch a ride in a ball or climb up yerselves?
[This is addressed to all of them, not just the Sneasels. If the Snovers want to make an attempt at the cliff themselves he's not going to tell them no. He does ready his Pokeballs, though.]
The Sneasels rush to Sneasler's side to prove their worth as climbers; Sneasler seems amused by their enthusiasm. The Snovers and Snorunt walk up to be put back in their Pokeballs. Litten doesn't move; he plans on just staying with you in the basket.
Irida helps reattach the basket to Sneasler, and then Sneasler stands, hoisting you up.
"May luck be with you and your companions in your quest!" Irida calls out to you.
It's a long and bumpy journey—longer because Sneasler pauses from time to time out of concern for the Sneasels catching up—but eventually you make it to a camp near the summit...

[Vicious grins at the Sneasels, and once everyone else is safely stowed away, he steps into the basket with Litten.]
Awright, guess we're all ready to go.
