Jen heal her Pokémon and change out her Pokémon. Silver the Butterfree pops out of her pokeball and ends up on Jen’s head. She notices Eclipse the Corvisquire is sad and Jen opens the Ultra ball. A bunch of black feathers on the floor and Eclipse starts to cry. “You are a pretty bird,” Jen said as she wonders if this was normal.

Shiranui saw Jen's Corvisquire moulting and ran through a few possible reasons as to why. "Eclipse, even if you moult, you'll never be as ugly as an Archen or a Cramorant," he assured, "I may not be an ornithologist, but this could be a sign you're about to evolve."

Shiranui got his Pokémon healed and had Nurse Joy check on the Phantump he caught, now named Kodama. He was confident of his choices for the upcoming gym battle and after a call to Prof. Oak, swapped Ikari for a reserve for similar reasons to Liam. He still had to prepare his reserve for a strategy he cooked up.

"Absolutely," Shiranui agreed, "Given the dense foliage, we're reliant on clocks to tell us whether it's day or night."

Shiranui nodded and followed Liam's Corvisquire towards the exit to Ballonlea.

"It isn't wrong to use a Z-Move, but remember that Pokémon can only take so much damage past the point of fainting," Shiranui reminded. He intended to have the Phantump he caught checked out at the Ballonlea Pokémon Centre.

"Isn't that a little bit of overkill?" Shiranui commented, remembering that Phantump was a human child in a previous life. He tapped a Dusk Ball on it and the ball quickly snapped shut.

Nice.

"It's okay, Aura," Shiranui consoled, "Haunter like to play tricks." He also noticed the tree stump moving closer. "We have a Phantump here," he stated, "Rotom, analysis."
"Phantump, the Stump Pokémon. A Ghost and Grass type. After a lost child perished in the forest, their spirit possessed a tree stump, causing the spirit's rebirth as this Pokémon. With a voice like a human child's, it cries out to lure adults deep into the forest, getting them lost among the trees," Shiranui's Rotom Phone stated.

"I hope it didn't paralyse you," Shiranui said, concerned for Jen's wellbeing.

"Nor me," Shiranui added, "You probably have a playful Ghost-type Pokémon nearby."
