[color=darkorange]"Yeah... From what I've read, Darkrai drives people from its territory by afflicting them with nightmares,"[/color] Jason replied. [color=darkorange]"Though who can really know how ancient, powerful Pokemon think... We probably can't even begin to understand."[/color]

He considered Charlotte's comment. [color=darkorange]"Apparently, Darkrai can also give Pokemon bad dreams. If they've been having nightmares, it makes sense they'd still be on their guard."[/color]

Turning back to the old man, he asked another question. [color=darkorange]"On a related note, would you happen to know anything about Lunala?"[/color]

"Ehh, she's said to give good dreams to folks who respect one another," the old man replied. "Though she don't seem to have been about lately. Most likely 'cause of Darkrai, an' some say there might have been other Pokemon workin' with him, gettin' in her way. We'll just have to wait an' see if there's any sign of her comin' back."

[color=darkorange]"Hmm..."[/color] Jason wondered how to go about this mission, which suddenly seemed even more difficult than he'd thought. How would he find Lunala without accidentally agitating Darkrai?

[color=darkorange]"Well, if we get in a few hours of sleep now,"[/color] he continued, feeling the effects of the all-nighter, [color=darkorange]"we'll let you know what kinds of dreams we have. The Darkrai thing is definitely dealt with, right?"[/color] Nodding, the old man handed him a key. As wary as Jason was about falling asleep here, he could barely keep his eyes open any longer.

As soon as the old woman left, Nurse Joy looked up from the desk. [color=lightpink]"Florence! Sorry to keep you waiting,"[/color] she said. [color=lightpink]"How's Vernie?"[/color]

Florence gave a small smile. [color=springgreen]"She's fine now. I'll try to keep her out of any more trouble - you know how overexcited she can get."[/color] She glanced down at the little green Pokemon. [color=springgreen]"Ready to head out again?"[/color] Vernie gave a cheery cry. Of course. It had been a silly question. [color=springgreen]"Please don't run off this time."[/color]

She raised her head. [color=springgreen]"Well... See you."[/color] During her time in the Pokemon centre, the nurse had been more of a work colleague than a close friend, often busy seeing to Pokemon while she herself had been changing linen and sorting supplies. When the time would come for her to leave for the next town, though, Florence knew she'd miss her, as well as the Pokemon who worked at her side.

With that bright smile Florence wished she could manage, the nurse wished her good luck.

[color=springgreen]"Thanks,"[/color] Florence replied, heading outside, Vernie following close behind.

There, just leaving the town hall, was the shopkeeper, accompanied by her husband. Both their faces had a grey-white tinge, as if they'd experienced something awful. Once the woman had pinned a piece of paper to the vine-framed board in the town square, her husband placed his arm around her shoulder, whispering something to her. Turning round, they made their weary-looking way down a street.

When they'd gone, Florence slowly approached the board. What she read made her cold with shock.
