[color=gray]“The Cutiefly was agitated and lashing out, so we had to paralyze him,”[/color] Leisy explained to the elderly couple as they approached. [color=gray]“Florence is a nurse in training, and she was watching over him, so I’m sure he’s fine.”[/color]

The return exchange with the couple went well, and the girls were again offered some homemade sweets in thanks as the couple left them with gratitude and hope that they’d find the final missing Cutiefly. Florence’s silence was — although covered by the couple’s thanks and Ella and Leisy’s awkwardness — noticeable, and Leisy looked over multiple times to see if the brown-haired girl was alright. 

[color=gray]“Florence, are you alright?”[/color] Leisy asked when the couple had left. Was the girl feeling down because of how the Cutiefly had been treated? Since both of her parents were Pokemon scientists, Leisy wasn’t a stranger to seeing Pokemon be put in sub-optimal situations. Though it wasn’t the best of ways to deal with the Cutiefly — a Sleep Powder would have been better — the girls had little choice then, and Leisy didn’t feel like they were at fault. Besides, again, any treatment the Cutiefly had undergone was all of the girls’ faults, not just Florence’s. 

[color=gray]“Let’s go find that final Cutiefly,”[/color] she said, figuring a subject change would be better than talking more about it. She hoped that this way, Florence would be able to deal with her troubles herself, which was the way Leisy preferred to do it. [color=gray]“Should we try another park? Forests usually are pretty dangerous at night, but I suppose that — with the three of us — we could manage.”[/color]

[center][color=lightsteelblue][h3]Cillian Weiss[/h3][/color]— Tefan Village —[/center]
His camera memory cleared out — either by just deletion, or by deletion after uploading the photo into his laptop — Cillian spent the rest of the train ride perusing through information on Tefan Village. It seemed the village’s heat was due to its proximity to Mt. Jerimus, an active volcano — a rather poor geographical choice, if you asked Cillian, but no one had — and was thus home to many a fire-, dark-, and even dragon-type. 

[i]Dragon-types![/i] Cillian’s eyes hovered over the word for one, two, three seconds before they found themselves drawn to the mountain out the window. If there was one type of Pokemon Cillian had always wanted, it was a dragon-type. Strong, tough, and capable of taking to the seas and the sky, the magnificent beings had always enchanted Cillian — more than he’d like to admit. Priding himself on his objectiveness when it came to selecting Pokemon, the natural choice would have been to choose a fairy-type, but that group of Pokemon just didn’t have the allure dragons seemed to exude without effort.

The area around Jerimus was noted to have been “very hot” and an excellent endurance training site, although Cillian wasn’t sure how his own Pokemon would fare. Hazmat, being a fire-type, would probably embrace scorching heat with open arms, but his teammates wouldn’t be so fond of it. Both Kelby and Decus would wither in the heat, drying out, as would Mitti — whom Cillian wasn’t planning on bringing out at all, since the grass-type wouldn’t like any part of the supposedly arid climate.

[color=lightsteelblue]“This should be our stop,”[/color] Cillian said when the train pulled to a halt. A grin on his face, he exited the train with a jump, landing with both feet on the granite station platform as he took a deep breath in — and promptly coughed. [color=lightsteelblue]“It’s—cough—dry here,”[/color] he said, shuffling around his bag for his water bottle and downing half of it. He’d have to get it refilled — and soon.

[color=indianred]“It took off in the direction of the rubble towards the west of town, so that’s where we should head next,”[/color] Shanae was saying, scanning over the map on her Pokedex as she waited for her Pokemon to be healed. She and Martin had headed to the Pokemon Center immediately after their encounter with the fire-type — a Darmanitan, as it turns out. If nothing else, the battle had allowed Shanae to get a clear glimpse of the culprit Pokemon. The large red primate matched the job description, and its Rapid Spin packed a punch that also fit the bill. [color=indianred]“We’ll head there now, right after our Pokemon—”[/color]

A growl emanated from Marvin’s stomach, and the boy flushed red. Shanae paused, considering her own hunger level. With her odd work schedule — business meetings here and there, peppered with late nights and odd morning hours — she had developed an immunity to hunger, meaning that she was able to ignore it until a more convenient time. Although she usually tried to get food into her system around the correct times — breakfast at seven, lunch at twelve, and dinner at six — it hadn’t always worked out, although Shanae didn’t mind it either.

[color=indianred]“Let’s stop for dinner first,”[/color] Shanae said, pocketing her Pokeballs. [color=indianred]“I’m starving too.”[/color]

After a brief discussion — during which Marvin looked rather relieved — they settled on getting some food for the go.
