Failing to spot Leisy at first, Ella headed back to the room, where she took a quick, refreshing shower. Feeling much more awake, she changed clothes and made sure she'd gathered up all her belongings.

This time, she noticed Leisy as soon as she entered the lobby. The trainer was in mid-conversation with the extremely grateful-looking old man, who called her over.

[color=hotpink]"We... did it?"[/color] Ella piped up. [color=hotpink]"You mean we defeated him? But how?"[/color] It was all starting to come together in sharper clarity. The wraith, trying to create a story, using people like marionettes, sulking when they'd refused to be his little puppets. And, just now, she hadn't had any nightmares.

The old man gave his gap-toothed grin. "Yep! Yer din' let him be the big scary bad guy he wanted to be. Messed up his story real good."

All Ella could do was stand there in bewilderment as one of the townspeople mentioned their rewards, trainer points. [color=hotpink]"Th-Thanks,"[/color] she replied. She'd barely done much except freak out and brutalise everyone in sight. Did she really deserve a reward?

She bowed to the old man and followed Leisy. [color=hotpink]"Yeah... We haven't eaten anything for a day,"[/color] she agreed. She'd only feel properly revitalised once her nagging hunger and thirst were sated.

Even with the familiar light yellow walls and smell of disinfectant, Florence felt like an outsider in the Pokecentre.

As she entered, Nurse Joy looked up from the desk, quickly greeting her before resuming talking to an old lady who spoke in a low, trembling whisper. The woman clenched her hands by her sides as she cast a glance towards the Pokeballs in the healing machine. Florence hung back, her gaze shifting from the worried trainer to Vernie, then to the floor. How did the nurse manage to stay so positive and reassuring?

As much as Florence wanted to help Vernie, it seemed the one who needed help most was the woman at the counter. Chewing at her lip, Florence hoped nothing too bad had happened to this person's Pokemon.

The nurse leaned down and said something to a pink-and-purple Pokemon at her side. "Aroma," the Pokemon replied, approaching Florence and Vernie, bringing with her a strong smell of perfume.

[color=springgreen]"Hey, Aromatisse,"[/color] A small smile lit up Florence's face as she set Vernie down on the floor.

The Chikorita stepped forward, nailed toes clicking on the tiles. "Chiko-Chikori-ta," she said, raising her leaf and showing Aromatisse the scratches. Putting her hands together, Aromatisse released a pink energy wave, healing the last of Vernie's injuries.

[color=springgreen]"How's that? Are you alright now?"[/color] Florence asked, crouching down and examining the Chikorita's leaf. Vernie anwered with a cheery squeak. Although the new trainer kept her smile, it was with a tinge of sadness that she watched the two Pokemon. Once she left Feyhollow to explore the world, Vernie and Aromatisse would surely miss each other.

But this Pokemon centre... It wasn't where she was meant to be after all. At least, not for now.
