[@Dark Light] Well, Ella and Leisy went to Stillwater to become skilled trainers (unable to take on the thieves as beginners), and succeeded, but not before stuff happened. So they're still dealing with having been trapped in a nightmare by Darkrai for a day and a half, and are currently trying to find some Cutieflies who were scared away by the poachers, while still tracking down the thieves. A new character, nurse in training and Grass type specialist Florence, is travelling with them.

Ella keeps updating Vivian over the phone, but I'll have her briefly visit fairly soon if that's ok, it wouldn't make sense for her not to. Vivian can be essentially an NPC, if you want.
