[center][color=gray][h3]Leisy Takigawa[/h3][/color]— Stillwater —[/center]
 Leisy watched dumbfounded as the dark-type started on its rant, livid at the humans’ inaction. [i]Is it… throwing a fit?[/i] she wondered, both terrified at the thought and confused as to what it pertained to. The Pokemon — Darkrai — was clearly among the ranks of legendary and mythical Pokemon, yet it seemed like Darkrai had the temper of a child trying to engage in a game of his own design and thought. When finding that his companions did mirror his interest, he would throw his hands up and storm off, fuming.

Still, Leisy felt a cool wave of relief wash over her when the darkness receded, her body feeling thin and light as it seemingly rose up in place. An icy cold greeted Leisy when she awoke, her body valiantly trying to regain lost heat after hours of inactivity. Wincing, she pushed herself onto her side and — with some struggle — rose unsteadily onto her feet. [i]Cold, sore, dizzy, numb,[/i] she thought as she registered each of the sensations, her hand going to her forehead instantly in an attempt to steady her head as the world threatened to warp into itself before her. [i]That — that, was anything but a dream.[/i]

Spotting Olivie and her Pokemon waking nearby, Leisy attempted to move towards the girl, only to find that her sense of balance was completely destroyed at the moment. [i]Better to keep still and not pitch myself onto the floor,[/i] she thought, wincing again and proffering a smile at the brown-haired girl. Meeting Olivie’s eyes, she met nod with smile, a warm feeling in her heart as she watched the trooper stomp away. 

[i]Guess it wasn’t [/i]all[i] for naught,[/i] she thought, sighing and dropping her hand before looking around for Ella. Spotting the pink-haired girl, Leisy carefully made her way over, her steps small and calculated with what brainpower she could muster at the moment.

[color=gray]“I—I think I am,”[/color] Leisy stammered, finding her mouth and her voice scratchy at first use. Clearing her throat lightly, she tried again. [color=gray]“Headache and serious disorientation, but I think it’s passing…”[/color]

Her thoughts touched upon something she remembered quite vividly, and a wave of sadness and regret flowed over her as she looked around the area, her head jerking left quickly despite her headache as she looked around for a specific flying-type Pokemon. [color=gray]“Bidein!”[/color] she called, fear filling her voice for a moment before she spotted the bird Pokemon waddling over, seemingly too tired to fly. [color=gray]“Oh Bidein,”[/color] she said, bending over and picking her Pokemon up with a sad smile. [color=gray]“Let’s head back to town then, Ella? I think we could all use some real rest after that… dream, if you can even call it one.”[/color]

[color=lightsteelblue]“Glad to help,”[/color] Cillian said, a grin on his face as his Bulbasaur gently laid the guilty — and now peacefully resting — Porygon-Z before the Zephyr Strip Security Office’s crew. His eyes lit up at the mention of a reward amidst the officer’s words of thanks, and he received the Heal Ball with a measured amount of giddiness — only so much as to not make his enthusiasm blatantly apparent.

[color=lightsteelblue]“Woah, so this is a Heal Ball?”[/color] he asked, turning the pink-and-white Pokeball back and forth in his hands. [color=lightsteelblue]“A bit girlish, but useful,”[/color] he said once the three trainers were out of earshot of the officers. [color=lightsteelblue]“Maybe I’ll catch a pink Pokemon with it — just to make the colors match,”[/color] Cillian joked, pocketing the distinctly-colored capture capsule.

Juana’s voice interrupted any further words he had to say, and he peered over the girl’s shoulder at the map she was holding. [color=lightsteelblue]“Huh. Interesting-looking statue — wonder if it used to live here?”[/color] he remarked, shrugging. [color=lightsteelblue]“Seeing as we don’t really have anything better to do, let’s do that,”[/color] he said, pulling out his Pokedex and pulling up a map of Zephyr Strip. [color=lightsteelblue]“Off we go then?”[/color] he asked, starting towards the direction his Pokedex pointed him.

[center][color=indianred][h3]Shanae Eller[/h3][/color]— Ironforge —[/center]
The location Shanae had thought of was an empty lot of sorts, devoid of trees and home only to rocks and sparse shrubbery. While these rather unwelcoming features were not strange in Ironforge, they appeared so to the woman who’d become accustomed to the bright skies and lush forests surrounding the hubbub that was Central City.

[color=indianred]“Whoa there,”[/color] Shanae said as the Lairon slowed its bounding to a stop. Up ahead, the ground gave way downwards to a flat reverse-plateau in which gas spewed in spurts out of various small geysers. Shanae watched in fascination as opaque white steam burst out of a geyser near her, roaring towards the sky before allowing the winds to carry it away and disperse it. [color=indianred]“Amazing,”[/color] she said, still in her spot above the geysers, knowing that it would be foolish to approach. 

Returning the borrowed Lairon and releasing her Houndour, Shanae grinned. [color=indianred]“Hey there, Ebon. We’re finally in your natural habitat,”[/color] she said. [color=indianred]“Well, almost. But close enough. Be a dear and see if there’s any interesting scents around here?”[/color]
