Ella bit her lip, hesitating, but Leisy was right. This would be best left to a stronger trainer, and she and Leisy would be able to come back once they'd trained more - as well as done what they'd planned to do from the start. She wasn't going to turn her back on Vivian.

[color=hotpink]"We'll have to go back,"[/color] she said. [color=hotpink]"For Vivian. We weren't even supposed to be away this long."[/color] The thought of having left her friend for several days, when she needed support, brought a sharp stab of guilt - as did the thought of leaving the townspeople at the mercy of Darkrai. Would they be, though? The wraith had let everyone go, after all. There may not even be anything left to do here. For now, anyway.

Retreating to the room, she flopped onto the bed fully-clothed, quickly drifting off to sleep.

Bright sunlight streaming through the window woke her. Sitting up and stretching, she climbed out of bed. Those few hours of sleep had made a much-needed difference. Her head no longer pounded whenever she moved, and although her back still ached from two days of lying on stone, the pain had eased. Jumbles, also more alert, drifted over to her.

[color=hotpink]"You ok now?"[/color] she asked. [color=hotpink]"Come on, let's go see if Leisy's up."[/color] With that, she headed into the lobby.

[color=yellow]"Sounds good,"[/color] Cici replied as she let out the rest of her team and fed them treats. She had enough Pokefood for now, but she'd have to stock up soon. [color=yellow]"Here, have these too."[/color] Facing her six Pokemon, she pulled the Rare Candies from her bag. [color=yellow]"No, Dulcet, they're not all for you."[/color] The Swablu let out a disappointed chirp, giving her that pleading look, trying to appear as adorable as possible.

Passing each Pokemon a Rare Candy, she watched them eat the snacks. With the task ahead, they'd need the extra levels.

A sudden light burst outwards. Pulling back, Cici gasped. Five of the six Pokemon let out cries of surprise as, where Forte had stood a moment ago, a glowing shape grew bigger and bigger. The light faded, revealing the former Whismur's new appearance. A purple Pokemon, with speaker-like ears, sturdy limbs, and a mouth that took up most of his body.

"Loud! Loudred!" he boomed, jumping and stomping in excitement.

It took Cici a few seconds to recover from the shock. [color=yellow]"Ohh wow..."[/color] she said, a wide grin spreading across her face, laughter bubbling from her. [color=yellow]"Forte, you look awesome!"[/color] Leaning down, she hugged her newly-evolved starting Pokemon, who wrapped his own stocky arms around her. [color=yellow]"Oof! You're pretty strong, you know that?"[/color] she chuckled. It had completely slipped her mind that, now she was a skilled trainer, this would happen soon.

[color=yellow]"I'm afraid I won't be able to carry you around any more, but come along,"[/color] she said, standing back up. [color=yellow]"We'd better set out."[/color]

[hider=Florence's theme][youtube]https://youtu.be/fEg21u_d2eA[/youtube][/hider]
Through Feyhollow park, a small green Pokemon scampered, letting out happy cries. Behind her, a young woman ran, braid flapping, bag of supplies bouncing against her shoulder.

[color=springgreen]"Wait up, Vernie!"[/color] Florence called, nearly crashing into a passer-by. [color=springgreen]"Ehh, sorry!"[/color] It seemed the excitement of setting out was too much for the Chikorita to handle - even if she wasn't officially a trained Pokemon yet. The little Grass-type glanced behind her, jumping up and down. "Chiko!" she squeaked, waiting until Florence had almost caught up, before running ahead again. A sweet smell wafted on the breeze, like a mix of herbs and mown grass, mingling with the scent of the park's flowers. Vernie's fragrance always intensified when she was in a particularly good mood.

Sending a group of Flabebes scattering in alarm, the Chikorita disappeared around a bend in the path. There was a rustling noise, and a sudden sharp squeal.

[color=springgreen]"Vernie!"[/color] Rushing to the Pokemon's side, Florence knelt down. Vernie had caught her leaf on the thorns of a rose bush. She struggled, whimpering, twisting her leaf around, only managing to entangle it further. [color=springgreen]"Hold still. I'll see to that."[/color] Carefully freeing the Pokemon from the shrub, the new trainer plucked out thorns that had broken off and become embedded in the green tissue. Vernie winced, sap trickling from the wounds.

[color=springgreen]"Hey, it's ok. That's nearly all of them,"[/color] Florence soothed. [color=springgreen]"This is the last one now."[/color] Once the final thorn was removed, a white glow surrounded the leaf, then faded. The scratches were still visible, but much smaller. Synthesis, a self-healing move known by many Grass types. Relaxing a little, Florence took a jar of salve from her bag and gently rubbed it into the leaf.

The Chikorita was pretty much ok, but it would probably still be best to get her to a Pokemon centre, just to make sure she was healed as quickly as possible. Petting her on the back and picking her up, Florence hurried to the familiar building.
