The sound of a siren heralded the arrival of an ambulance. The moment it parked, the paramedics rushed to Alexis's side. From what Rheese heard them say, it seemed to have been a panic attack of some sort.

"She'll be fine, but we really ought to get her to the Hospital in Mesalon." One of the men said, causing Rheese to look up. "Hey, are you all her friends? It might a good idea if you ride with her. If she wakes up on the way, it could trigger her. The most responsible thing he could do would be to ride in the Ambulance with her, he assumed given the way she was apologizing.

"Hey, uh...I'm usually not very good with this kind of thing, but...it umm...wasn't entirely your fault." He said, not exactly sure of his own words, kneeling down next to Sophia and tapping her shoulder lightly in an attempt to reinforce his what he was saying. "But, if you feel responsible, we should probably go with them. Otherwise she'll end up in Mesalon without anyone else, and I know that I'd hate that if it were me." So much for the Windshire gym, maybe another time. That, and there's always the Mesalon gym.

The paramedics put Alexis on a stretcher and lifted her onto the ambulance. They left the door open and gestured for everyone to get on.

Sophia looked over at Rheese. Normally, she'd have a snarky response to that level of awkwardness, but she didn't have the energy for it. Instead, she nodded. "Y-Yeah," she said, standing up, taking a towel one of the paramedics handed her and wrapping it around her shoulders. She sat down next to Alexis inside the ambulance, all six Pokemon following.

Out of the sunlight, she started feeling the cold from her damp clothes. Hunched over and shivering, she pulled the towel tighter, looking like the opposite of her usual self.

"Gothi-ta?" The distraught Pokemon glanced from Sophia to the unconscious girl. Sophia didn't know whether or not she should be angry at Gothita, but right now she just couldn't be. "She's going to be alright," she said, gently putting her hand on Gothita's back.

She knew she wasn't exactly the person the girl would want to see first upon waking, but despite what Rheese had said, she couldn't help feeling responsible. It had started as a prank war, and had resulted in somebody on her way to hospital... She shuddered again, leaning over and touching the girl's forehead as she'd done earlier. It was difficult to concentrate, and she grimaced as a headache started, but she managed to pick up on the girl's energy. "Still stable..." she said, reassuring the others. She withdrew her hand and sank back against the seat.

The girl would be alright, but how would she react when she woke? Would having her Pokemon around help? All Sophia could do was hope so. "I'm sorry..." she muttered again. "I'm so sorry..."

@LuckyBlackCat@AbysmalDemon@Heckno12

There's something to be said about Alexis' dreams. Most would assume that they involved her laughing while sitting on a beautiful throne on top of the world, with everyone else bowing down to her and doing whatever she wished. Truth be told, that would be a close guess to how she dreamed as a child. Ever since she had seen the true stars of the Pokemon world, she dreamed of something else entirely.

What was once a dream of selfish gain, was now a dream of adventure. She dreamed of conquering great challenges, and catching wonderful Pokemon, but she also dreamed of seeing what her idols had seen, of being loved the way they were loved. She dreamed of feeling the way they felt as their fans cheered and praised them without trickery, without being ordered to, and without a second thought. This was the dream she had every time she fell into the unconscious world.

But now it was time to wake up. To face reality and remember what it was that put her to sleep...

Alexis awoke. Her eyes opened slowly in order to allow her to analyze her surroundings. Her head hurt, and her body felt sore for some reason. Though her eyelids were only half-open, her eyes looked around. She spotted some familiar people. They were a blur at first, but they got clearer her body became active once again.

She didn't feel like speaking. She didn't feel like yelling or questioning or freaking out. She felt tired. She just wanted to get up. So with a tiny, breathy grunt, Alexis attempted to sit up.

Sophia Danvers

@OtomostheCrazy @Heckno12 @AbysmalDemon

As the girl opened her eyes, Sophia let out a breath that had caught in her throat. "C-Careful!" she said, watching the girl try to sit up. "You-You collapsed... right after..." She trailed off, barely able to talk about it. "The Pokemon... they're ok, they're all ok..." She passed the three currently empty Pokeballs to the girl and gestured around at the six Pokemon.

Gothita gave a squeal of relief as she looked up at the other trainer. Purrloin jumped up with a subdued "Purrr..." and gently rubbed her head against one of the girl's hands. This was nothing like the excessive affection she tended to show while causing mischief. Sophia had no idea what had gotten into Purrloin and Gothita earlier, but whatever it was seemed to have passed.

"We're... we're on our way to Mesalon... you'll be ok, you'll just need checking over..." Sophia continued to explain. No matter how she tried, she didn't know if she could say anything reassuring. Should she leave it to Rheese? Should she really have been the first one to speak to her, even though there wasn't anything else she could do?

"I'm sorry..." Even though the words sounded empty, the apologies wouldn't stop. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

Through the small windows at the back of the ambulance, behind the group, Windshire disappeared into the distance.

"So much for confronting that Vincent guy." Rheese sighed. He'd be lying if he tried to say that Vincent was at the top of his list of priorities, but he didn't really know what else to say during the awkward ride. When Alexis finally woke up, the silence was immediately gone. He didn't even consider interrupting Sophia's apology, it would be so rude he'd honestly see it as inconceivable.

With a light whistle, he watched Windshire fade into the horizon as they followed the winding road. In retrospect, the trip to Mesalon was probably unnecessary. Alexis seemed a bit disoriented, but otherwise fine.

Taking out his Pokegear, he quickly looked up a few things about their destination. Aside from the hospital, the town seemed to have some kind of monastery connected to its gym. Other than that it seemed to be a pretty plain town atop some kind of Mesa (who would've thunk it?) The surrounding area was fairly interesting to say the least, a few caves renowned for their pretty yet fairly worthless crystals, a few tunnels here and there said to be dug by drillbur, and a few random colonies of Pokemon seemingly attracted to the peace of the town. At the very least it seemed nicer than Windshire.

@LuckyBlackCat

“My name is Nyxx Hollow, don’t look too much into the last name” She said at bullet train speeds looking over her Pokemon who were taking a breather “Hmmm, you let me get some of those” She said a bright smile getting the food from Amber and giving it to her Pokemon to heal them a bit.

Once she placed the berries for them Nyxx slumped over, stumbled backwards a little bit and fell on her rear end. Leaning her head back to look at the sky, she continued to lean further back until finally, the girl was completely lying on her back completely out of steam. Closing her eyes Nyxx fell right to sleep in the middle of the field, leaving Amber confused, but her Pokemon shrugged and continued eating, knowing this was just how things were with Nyxx, honestly they were amazed she kept it up this long.

From right then she began to snore a little bit and babble in her sleep most of it was incoherent nonsense, sometimes there were actual words involved. Nyxx had plenty of battles before she fought Kyle and lost none of them, which was starting to feel a lot like her normal life before she left home; not actually needing to try to achieve anything. But, she met Amber someone who actually battled and beat her, this left a satisfied smile on her face even while asleep and made her feel a little bit further away from her mother’s shadow.

@LuckyBlackCat@Noxx

Oscar observes the fighting style of the two pokemon trainer. After the fight, one trainer addresses him and telling her name. "The name is Oscar and my companion here is Roadrunner." Roadrunner greets Amber with happy chirps. The other trainer dowzes off without looking his way. Oscar shrug it off and says to Amber. "You like to either outlast or outspeed your opponent and you have two nice pokemon for that. I would like to travel with you if you do not mind a philosopher with you."

Amber Pine

Route to Mesalon

@Noxx @fer1323

Nyxx Hollow? Where did Amber know the name Hollow from? Before she had time to think about it, though, the girl crumpled to the ground and lay back. "Ah! Nyxx? Are you alright?" Amber leaned over her, making sure she was ok. Nyxx simply started snoring. Relaxing slightly, Amber straightened her back. The Buneary and the Swablu were acting like this was perfectly normal for Nyxx. She'd probably just crashed from overexcitement.

"Don't worry. Looks like she's just resumed the nap she was taking earlier," Amber said, turning round to face Oscar. "A philosopher? That should make for some interesting discussions along the way. I'm more of a researcher, but I'd be glad to listen to your ideas. And yes, defense and speed are my exact strategies, at least with these two Pokemon." She looked at Kabuto, then at the Pokeball containing Yanma. "One reason for my journey is to research the way different Pokemon battle. What better way to do that than to train them?"

A cold and clinical sounding explanation, but the way she leaned down and patted the Torchic, a soft smile on her face, showed that her journey wasn't for purely scientific purposes.

"Kabu-to!" The jealous fossil Pokemon crawled forward. Crouching down, Amber petted his shell.

At the sound of squawking and yelling, she straightened right up. A man with a heavily-filled backpack stumbled out from behind the trees, a Cubone and a Woobat at his side, trying to fend off three shrieking Rufflet. "Get back!" he shouted, to no effect, shielding his face with his scratched arms. "Woobat, use Confusion!"

As the Woobat's attack threw one of the Rufflet aside, the others closed in, quickly followed by the one who'd taken the hit. Amber gasped. From what she'd heard, Rufflet were naturally aggressive, but these ones barely even seemed to notice other Pokemon's attacks. They kept fighting in a blind fury. The panicking Cubone swung out with its bone club, but one of the Rufflet just dodged and flew at the Ground-type, lashing out with its wings and claws, driving it back. It disappeared into the shrubbery as the bird chased after it.

Kabuto scurried forward. Amber tensed up, but couldn't just stand there and do nothing. "Alright, give it all you've got! Scratch!" she called. The birds' beaks and talons had very little effect on the Rock-type, who swiped at a Rufflet, earning a screech. The bird turned, glaring at Amber, and zoomed at her. She staggered back, letting out a cry at the searing of claws against her arm.

Yanma, who didn't seem to know the meaning of the word "rest", burst from her Pokeball and slammed into the Rufflet. "Yanma, no!" Amber yelled. Yanma had done well against the Murkrow, but that had been a Dark type as well as Flying, and a flock of enraged Rufflet was a different matter entirely... Yanma sped away, followed by the bird, who couldn't quite catch up. She swooped close to the ground, in front of Kabuto, who moved in and scratched at the bird.

The flock kept attacking, swept up in a frenzy. What was with these Pokemon?

Once Kero felt better he heard that the Nurse had let them pick up their Pokémon and that there was some kind of uncertainty about what had happened. However he was glad to be rid of the kids, almost promising himself on the spot that he would have nothing to do with them in the future. He then left without a word and got on the road, he needed to start heading to the next location as this held no further interest.

@LuckyBlackCat@Heckno12@AbysmalDemon

Alexis payed little attention to Sophie's words. Her attention to the poser girl's explanation was dropped in favor of looking at her Pokemon. They were fine. Hoppip looked just as it had before her black out. It was smiling and attempting to splash around. The only problem was that Eevee was holding it down. The Pokemon was grinning and snickering at Hoppip's attempts to float around. Snorunt was subtly relieved to see her trainer awake, preferring to act as if she had expected Alexis to do something like this.

Though she was happy for their well-being, Alexis did not show it. Her face was tired and emotionless, only allowing her to blink in silent response to seeing her Pokemon. Alexis looked down. Her dress was ruined. She spent all that time making it look good, and yet it ended up a mess. It was disappointing to say the least.

Alexis would have continued focusing on her dress, if not for the fact that Sophia had begun apologizing. It sounded empty, but it also sounded pitiful. Sophia didn't stop, either. She kept apologizing and apologizing, as if the entire thing had been her fault.

If you really want to apologize, then bow down and beg for my forgiveness! thought Alexis.

"..."

Alexis couldn't voice that thought. She didn't want to. It was something she would have said before, when she had something to gain, but this poser girl had nothing to give, and looked as if she was losing more as she continued to apologize. There was only one thing Alexis could do at the moment. The only thing she wanted to do at the moment.

Alexis slowly raised her arm, and slapped Sophia across the cheek.

@OtomostheCrazy @Heckno12 @AbysmalDemon

At the sting of a slap across her face, Sophia's torrent of apologies stopped. She'd known the girl wouldn't be too happy to see her as she woke. She hadn't expected forgiveness, she just hadn't known what to do other than apologise. Now, she sat in silence, in the full knowledge that she'd deserved the slap. As awkward as Rheese was in these kinds of situations, it probably was best to leave the comforting to him.

Still, on some level, it was a relief to see the girl starting to act the way she normally did. "I... I take it you're feeling more like yourself, then," she said once she could bring herself to speak, a tiny shard of the usual edge to her attitude returning, although her voice still shook.

Things were going to be ok, she told herself. No thanks to her, but this girl and her Pokemon would be fine. She was just glad Kero hadn't come with them, given the way he'd reacted.

Event: Mythical Pokemon

Outside Windshire

@Iatos

Among the common sights of the route leading from Windshire, a much more unusual Pokemon floated through the air. It flew in and out of the trees, playing with a swarm of Butterfree, a tail much longer than its body streaming behind it.

It stopped, the tiny pink hairs that covered its skin bristling, stubby ears twitching. Peering out from the greenery, it saw a human make his way along the route. He wasn't looking in its direction, but humans caused it to shy away at the best of times, and this one... There was something about this one especially that set it on edge. Turning in the air, the Pokemon fled.

@LuckyBlackCat

The young man was quite observant, after leaving Wilshire he started to look around more than usual and paid attention to tracks and sounds. Without someone around he could use his hunter skills to track, and to observe the surroundings I'm a very unique way. When he noticed a pink flying creature he immediately recognized it at something worth a hundred percent effort.

Reason as side he snapped his fingers and quickly said "Dusty... Chase it."he said and sent the Eevee after it as he started running. He snapped on his Googles that didn't look out of the ordinary at first, but by pressing a hidden button they lit up on the inside and suddenly the world became much clearer.

These Googles could see invisible Pokémon, he then ran after it. "Wait... Don't run away... " he said as he chased it, if needed to he would try to throw a capture device at it, he just needed to get a good angle.

@LuckyBlackCat

Nyxx continued to snore obnoxiously loud completely at ease despite the fact she was around two strangers with one strange being that she was at least fifty percent sure she could trust Amber not to rob her blind. Unfortunately, for Nyxx her Pokemon wasn’t as accommodating to her loud sleeping and began to pop the berries, they were given to heal into her mouth to plug up the sound, but Nyxx subconsciously spit them out and continued to snore peacefully or as peaceful as a Snorlax could get. Buneary hopped herself to nearby fern and snapped off a rather healthy looking branch at least it was until she broke it off course and called Swablu over. The bunny then started drawing up some plans in the dirt communicating on whatever mischief she had in mind, it all ended with the word ‘BANG’ drawn in the dirt, Swablu was on board from the start.

Nellz began to set up the tower like structure of books from her trainer’s bag lumbering unsoundly close to Nyxx’s face. Swablu then landed on the should be protege and began to tickle her nose with its feathers causing the trainer to involuntarily swat randomly knocking over the miscellaneous items which promptly came crashing down on Nyxx’s face. Boom, Pow, Crash came each book and object bouncing off her body then onto the ground, granted Nyxx woke up on the first impact, but her unwillingness to actually move out of the way resulted in her catching the rest of it with her face.

“I’m up I’m up Mom!” she yelled, springing to her feet still in a half-dreaming state.

@LuckyBlackCat@Noxx

When the frenzy of the bird pokemon ensued, Oscar releases Skoll and Nomia. "Skoll and Nomia, go after the cubone that went into the forest." Skoll and Nomia nodded and went off in the direction of the cubone. Oscar turns to Roadrunner. "Okay, RR. Let's do this. Use Growl and use ember when they get closer." Roadrunner growls at the Rufflets and getting the attention of a few. Roadrunner was able to use ember on a Rufflet, burning it and making it flee, however a second one hits Roadrunner from side. "Come on, Roadrunner. We have to hold out til Skoll and Nomia come back." Roadrunner gets up with a increased drive to not fail. "Amber, we need to work in unison. let your yanma draw the Rufflets towards your kabuto. RR, go and assist Kabuto by protecting his flanks and hitting the Rufflets that evade his attacks" Roadrunner chirps in agreement and runs over the kabuto with Rufflets in pursuit.

-Meanwhile-

Skoll and Nomia run across the forest floor with the scent of the Cubone guiding them. They come across the cubone cowering against a tree. Skoll let out a roar which attracts the attention of the Rufflet. The Rufflet ignores the cubone and pecks at Skoll. It hit Skoll but it was not too bad. Nomia looks hesitant to act. Skoll encourages that as long he is with her, she is safe. This gives Nomia some courage. With Skoll and Nomia working together, the Rufflet was taken down. They help the Cubone onto Skoll's Back and headed back towards the others.

Amber Pine

Route to Mesalon

@fer1323 @Noxx

Amber nodded. "Ok, Yanma, Quick Attack, then move out of the way!" Yanma flew at one of the Rufflets in a blur, then sped away from it, drawing it towards Kabuto and the Torchic. As Kabuto swiped, the bird screeched, turning its attacks on the fossil Pokemon. "Now, Kabuto, Harden!" Amber shouted. Kabuto's shell shone like polished stone, resisting the Rufflet's attacks. "Yanma! Another Quick Attack!" While the Rufflet kept up its ineffectual attempts to cause any damage, Yanma zoomed towards it and knocked it aside.

As Amber's two Pokemon fought as a team, Nyxx's Buneary and Swablu were also working together, in quite a different way. At the sound of objects crashing to the ground, Amber glanced over to see Nyxx jump up from under a pile of books.

"Watch out!" she yelled, dodging as a squawking Rufflet flew in their direction. Yanma slammed into it from the side. It resumed chasing the bug Pokemon, flying into Kabuto's path... but this time, it flipped the fossil Pokemon over. Kabuto wriggled around on his back, stubby legs waving helplessly in the air. Yanma tipped him the right way up, but as she did so, a Rufflet jabbed its beak at her. Flitting backwards and letting out a cry, Yanma wobbled in the air.

Amber felt her ribs tighten. "Both of you, hang in there! You're doing great!" she encouraged. The bird Pokemon looked to be on the verge of fainting, but they still wouldn't stop attacking.

@OtomostheCrazy@LuckyBlackCat@AbysmalDemon

---

It seemed that everything was settled, those two had made up...at least as much as those two could. Rheese crossed his arms and attempted to nod off, it probably wouldn't be too long before they'd arrive in Mesalon. Before he could even close his eyes he heard the screech of steel brakes. Hearing the ambulance's horn blare a few times. It seemed someone was blocking the road or something?

"What's the problem guys?" He asked the men driving, though he never would get that answer.

---

---

"Finally, my own Shadow Pokemon. One would think that someone as great as me would have gotten one first, I mean I am in charge of field operations out here." Helium said pouting slightly, a look unfitting a man of his...errr stature. At first glance one might think he was rather large and rotund, in fact unnaturally round, but that was merely his uniform. In reality he was incredibly fit, but the midsection of the suit he wore was filled with a strange gas (Helium obviously) allowing him to seem able to leap and bound effortlessly.

Looking down at his pokeball, he gave it a sinister smile. "And since clones aren't even real Pokemon...I don't have to worry about your limits." Helium said, grinning wider. "Now, all I need is an excuse. It's too bad they want me to sneak around with this kind of power, I doubt any regular trainer can even stand up to you now."

The sound of screeching brakes brought him back to full attention. Looking up to see an Ambulance directly in his path, he simply raised an eyebrow. Clearly these service workers didn't know who they were dealing with. The first blow of the horn he could forgive, but them laying on it nonstop...inconcievable. Glancing down at his new Pokeball his sinister grin from earlier returned.

"Aerodactyl, get this trash out of my way." Helium said simply. Pests like these, if it weren't for the fact that he really wanted to test out his new Pokemon he'd have probably just ordered the grunts behind him to take care of him. The Fossil Pokemon emerged with a primal scream, one that seemed more like the shout of an angered beast than a Pokemon's cry. The sound brought a chill even to Helium's spine.

Suddenly, the Aerodactyl blasted the medical vehicle to the side of the road with a, thankfully, indirect hyper beam. Had the Paramedics not thrown the vehicle into reverse they'd have probably been blown to smithereens. The blast still melted much of the front of the ambulance and tossed it to the side of the road.

---

"What the-" Rheese started as the vehicle backed up quickly. He was silenced when he felt an immense heat and a feeling of weightlessness as the ambulance left the ground.

Everything seemed to move in slow motion as the vehicle made contact with the ground again. Rheese hit the side, or what was originally the top, of the Ambulance hard. Had the vehicle not moved backwards a moment ago...that would have been it. Kicking the door open, he dragged himself outside. Aside from a few cuts and bruises, he was fine. He looked back at the ambulance, the front of it was melted up to the steering wheel. From what he could see, the paramedics from before were still moving.

"Alexis, Sophia! Are you two okay?!" He shouted towards the back. Finding himself unable to stand after what had just occured, he managed to bring himself to one knee and stare at the source of the attack. Some round bastard with an Aerodactyl...one that looked more like a berserk animal than a Pokemon. He knew right then, that he and everyone else would be in mortal danger if they didn't do something.

Sophia Danvers

Wrecked Ambulance

@Heckno12 @OtomostheCrazy

For a few more seconds, Sophia's concern was how Alexis would react. Then, a screech drove the thought from her mind - the screech of an enraged creature. It wasn't just the sound, though, that sent a chill right through to her bones, making the blood drain from her face. There was something else...

In a blast of heat, the chair, the floor, everything fell from under her as something smashed into the ambulance. With a cry, she slammed into a surface, the six Pokemon landing in a heap beside her. Cabinets swung open, medical boxes falling. Acting on instinct, she used her telekinesis to deflect them away from herself, the other girl and the Pokemon. She slumped from fatigue and dizziness. Her effort broke some of the cabinet doors, causing them to hang off their hinges above her. No, she couldn't let herself lose control. Not now. She had to concentrate on one thing only. Get out.

"Rheese! I-I'm ok," she shouted, crawling forward. She ached all over, but nothing felt broken. She glanced around at the Pokemon, who were dazed but not badly hurt, and at Alexis. "All of you alright? Come on," she said, helping Alexis out of the ambulance, leading the Pokemon with her, falling to the ground beside Rheese. The front of the ambulance was a charred wreck, the paramedics still alive, but severely injured.

That was when she saw it. Staring up, she gasped in sheer terror. An Aerodactyl soared over them with another crazed shriek... and this wasn't just a regular Pokemon. "W-What...?" she choked out, barely able to breathe, every muscle in her body tensing as if the temperature had drastically plunged. What looked like a thick, dark cloud engulfed the Aerodactyl. She had to look away for a moment, raising her arm in front of her eyes, but she could still feel it, that aura of corruption that set her shuddering. Crawling back, she forced herself to look upwards. "What's with that Pokemon?!"

Mew

Route to Mesalon

@Iatos

Turning invisible didn't help at all. The man stayed on its trail, sending his Eevee chasing after it. His intentions were nothing good, the Pokemon could be sure of that... It teleported, reappearing further along the route.

The moment it did so, its short fur stood on end again. Pure chaos, a jumble of thoughts and feelings, overwhelmed it. Looking up from where it floated in the sky, it backed away, finding itself face to face with a screeching Aerodactyl.

The instant the mew turned invisible he clicked the button on his goggles, it tracked the energy around the mew indicating a teleport. "Dusy!!!....." he yelled as the Eevee hit the breaks, instantly ran to his trainer. "gate!..." he hurled a device in the air grabbed his Eevee as it leaped to him and then made a insane leap through a random teleport. Once reaching the other side he spun around and bounced off the head of a aerodactyl gently nudging the Mew scuse me comming through"" he commented , as his rough step on the Aerodactyl out of each other's paths. And then leaped off its back to land on the roof of a half destroyed ambulance.

Glancing to the weird man... The ambulance and the Pokémon above he sweat dropped before putting Dusty down and putting on his hat and his gloves. [color=yellow]"Seems we arrived at quite the scene..."he said as he corrected his sunshades.

@LuckyBlackCat@fer1323

Once Nyxx was up she could see that the newly founded group was in peril by bird Pokemon, she wondered for a moment why they were attacking for no good given reason but she stopped caring just as fast. What mattered at the moment was that they were attacking them, interestingly enough, to Pokemon completely ignored her up until she woke up. Nyxx slowly stood up and stretched scratching her side, eyelids half open half dead to the world around her looking around without a real care. Take a big yawn, she stretched her body out with just as much effort as she had used to stand up.

“Lupin sing” she commanded, Swablu flew high up in the air and began to make a large circle around the ground singing, instantly dropping a good portion of the attacking Pokemon.

“NellzPound them all,” she followed up, instantly Buneary leaped up to its trainer’s head and sprang up with its powerful legs rocketed up into the air, pounding from one bird to another using their bodies to keep herself lifted in the air. Swablu’s circle of singing got wider and wider working to keep up with Buneary’s fury.

Nyxx sat back down and sighed nearly dead from boredom looking up at the sky, being that her Pokemon, in general, were handling everything and everything attacking the group was a flying type, something she already had so need to really catch anything.

Amber Pine

Route to Mesalon

@fer1323 @Noxx

"Yanma, they can't take much more! Quick Attack!" Amber called. The Pokemon, now a red and green blur, knocked a Rufflet from the air. The man's Woobat blasted Confusion at another. Nyxx's Buneary frantically leaped around, dealing as many as she could. Once all the Rufflets had either retreated or fainted, the man gave a sigh of relief, turning around to see the Growlithe with a shaken up but still conscious Cubone on its back.

"Cubone, are you ok?" he asked, taking his bag from his back, pulling out a potion and spraying Cubone with it. The Ground-type nodded. "Whew... Thank you, everyone," he said, facing the group. "If anyone's Pokemon need them, here. Have these." He took out several berries, handing them to all injured Pokemon. "I'll be alright... how about you?" He gave Amber a look of concern.

Amber glanced at the scratch on her arm. She'd have to see to it, but it wasn't too bad. She'd have suffered worse injuries if Yanma hadn't intervened. "Yeah. What was that?"

The man kept glancing around, watching out for any others. "They were just... I was on my way to Windshire, and... One minute they were fighting among themselves, the next, they turned on me. You really can't be too careful." He still sounded breathless. "You see, there are items from the caves I'm planning on selling. But seeing as you helped out... well, I suppose I can thank you by giving you each something for free."

He opened another compartment of his bag, showing the group an array of many-coloured stones.
