The Inkay kept turning from side to side, drifting ahead and repeating his actions.

[color=hotpink]"I don't think he's found anything yet..."[/color] Ella said as she followed beside Florence and Leisy. [color=hotpink]"But all we've got to do is keep looking!"[/color]

After some seemingly fruitless wandering around, the Psychic type froze in midair, staring ahead. Letting out a cry, he gestured with one of his tendrils towards a public greenhouse.

Ella sped up her pace to a near-run, slowing once close to the entrance. If the Cutiefly was in there, she didn't want to scare it. [color=hotpink]"Where is it?"[/color] she whispered to Jumbles, making her way through the rows of shrubs and flowers.

As the Inkay floated towards a corner, squeaking at something, Ella failed to spot it at first. A faint buzzing drew her gaze downwards. She gasped.

The little bug drew back, unsteady as it fluttered into the air. Looping in erratic patterns, it smacked into the glass, bouncing off only to start zipping and wobbling around again.

[color=hotpink]"It's terrified!"[/color] Ella's eyes were wide with shock as she turned towards the others. [color=hotpink]"And injured!"[/color]

She whipped back round at a burst of green, returning Jumbles just in time. [color=hotpink]"We won't hurt you! We're here to take you home!"[/color]

The energy blast shot through the spot where the Inkay had been a second ago, colliding with another target whose squeal sounded through the greenhouse.

[color=springgreen]"Vernie!"[/color] Florence dropped to her knees next to the Chikorita, who struggled at stand up. Some of the buds on her neck were scorched, and painful-looking marks mottled her side. [i]Stay calm, stay calm,[/i] Florence told herself, fighting to keep her hands from shaking as she rummaged for medicines. Bug Pokemon could do considerable damage to Grass types.

The trained hunched down just in time as a flurry of silver blades flew through the conservatory, slicing up potted plants. [color=springgreen]"Please... Please calm down!"[/color] she begged, but the Cutiefly kept thudding into the glass and firing attacks every which way.

[color=springgreen]"I'm sorry I've got to do this..."[/color] She glanced at the Budew by Vernie's side. [color=springgreen]"Bonica, use Stun Spore!"[/color] The buds on the Grass-type's vines opened, releasing a cloud of powder that scattered all over the Cutiefly. It dropped to the ground, writhing to the extent that it could.

Florence let out a shuddering breath. [color=springgreen]"S-Sorry, but that was the only way to stop you attacking, and hurting yourself..."[/color] As she checked over and treated both Vernie and the Cutiefly, Ella apologised profusely, face pale with horror.

[color=springgreen]"They'll both be ok,"[/color] Florence reassured her, recalling Vernie to her Pokeball. People stared in the group's direction, but the trainer ignored them, turning back to the Cutiefly and consulting her Pokedex. She already knew this Cutiefly had to be one of the missing ones, but the device confirmed it.

[color=springgreen]"Shhh, it's alright. It's safe back at home,"[/color] Florence whispered, but the Cutiefly twitched his wings, attempting to take to the air.

All the bug could do was keep his eyes fixed on the group who swayed before him, their auras blurring. Through the haze of dizziness, he couldn't easily read these strangers. One had treated his injuries, but had done nothing about the near-immobility one of her Pokemon had inflicted on him. Were these people to be trusted?
