 Hotaru like most of the others had grown her team up. Well in levels not sizes. Zed went from level 6 to 12 and had learned the move Curse along the way. Nephrite, the houndour, had leveled from 6 to ten. He had forgotten to use Leer and learned Smog in its place. She felt the training was needed if she was to challenge the ruins with the ghost Pokemon. She hoped she would find a Duskull there. She always wanted one when she was a kid. During festivals in horn she had played with one in the forest. She even got to witness it prank some bike rider causing her to crash into a tree.

  Hotaru looked to her Gastly and smiled booping him on the nose.... Well where his nose would be if he had one. Everyone was getting healed and she herself was eating a decent breakfast. It's amazing what you can be handed to you for free with just having a trainer card.

 Then the news came on on one of the television screens. She could hardly see it but she could hear it. The Pokemon lab they where at had been burned to the ground. Then Orion asked what kind of group would do this. She thought of team Magma from her home region of Hoenn.. They where extreme but not to the point of burning a Pokemon lab down.

    This did give her some concern though. Her father was working to help the recreational fields. Some of that did take place at the lab. She placed down her fork and picked up her poke nav. She then located her father's number and dialed it. It rang for awhile before finally someone answered the phone. It was a man's voice but it didn't belong to her father's. 

 She rose up and walked away from the group. [color=00746b]"Hello, who is this?... I am sorry but Doctor Tomoe can not come to the phone right now."[/color]

 She gulped and cleared her breathe. Her heart was pounding and her Pokemon companion Zed could feel it. He followed after her as she began to speak. [color=662d91]"This is his Daughter, Hotaru. Is my father okay?"[/color]she asked. There was a pause and she did not like how long it lasted. This made her hug the side of a wall and slink down. She could feel the pressure of the built in dread building up. 

  [color=00746b]"Sorry miss Tomoe, your father... He was gravely injured in the fire that engulfed the Pokemon lab. He made every attempt to save as many as he could. It caused him severs severe burns and injuries. He is alive and we are trying to help him. Don't lose hope Hotaru he us a strong man."[/color] Was the man's answer... She did not like it and tears began to form and stain her cheeks. Zed heard the words too and even he looked upset.

  She nodded and told the doctor thank you and to call her if his condition changed for better or worse. She rose up hanging up. She looked to her friends clearing her eyes. She heard Rylen and Orion's proclamation of taking on the gym. She smiled slightly.

 Their courage and determination was inspiring but it wasn't enough for her. Well besides she wasn't going to be a champion. She still wanted her dream but it was going to be hard. If she was going to become a Pokemon watcher she best start acting like one. She looked to her satchel and then decided she would capture their gym battles.
