The healer hadn't taken long at all, though the chat about the various local pokemon left Miu half-bored to death. She already had a reasonably good idea on what lived around here, she certainly didn't need the lecture. Most of them didn't catch her fancy - a Pidgey, maybe, raise it into a Pidgeot to fly around with, but that was about it. Just as she received her Poliwag back, Bailey entered and handed over her Duskull for healing. The healer didn't seem half so inclined to bother her. Go figure. 

Apparently, since the healer wasn't chatting to Miu anymore, Bailey decided to take up that duty. The first bit of news was almost depressing. "A chance to work with one of the most famous pokemon professors who's here by luck, and it went to him. Great." Granted, she would've responded similarly if Bailey or Jess had been told to do the same. She at least had known about Professor Apple's work when she got the letter. The fact they'd all gotten a chance to meet her and even battle her was wasted on them. She noticed the folded paper - probably B's map. She raised an eyebrow at Bailey, wondering why she had chosen to grab the map instead of leaving it to Jess at least. Not that Miu felt like carrying it for Bailey.

"Jess go on ahead?" She was the only one unaccounted for. She groaned. "Whatever. Going to Santalune, don't get left behind." After all, Poliwag was better now. Maybe she should nickname it. 'Ripper' didn't seem too fitting for the tadpole pokemon, though. Later then. She departed the healer's and soon Aquacorde altogether. It was simple enough to pass through Avance Trail - no encounters, though she did spy a Zigzagoon splashing by the river's shore. Not the kind of pokemon she wanted, so she kept to the path.

Jess was easy enough to find. Miu didn't even have to pass far into the forest to find her trying to revive her Zubat. "Pretty sure you're supposed to snap the crystal." Did they honestly not know how to use items? Sure, Revives weren't the most common item but... Miu looked around. "You haven't seen a Pansear, have you?" She owed that dumb monkey a couple of Bubble attacks.
