Nauseous from snake venom and distress, Florence struggled to keep the berry down, but little by little, the pain faded and her breathing became easier. Shifting into a sitting position, she pulled away from the few remaining Ekans. Her shoulder still twinged, but no longer burned with agony, and her only other injuries seemed to be bruises.

She stared at the Inkay for what felt more like minutes than seconds, until a shake of his head dashed her hopes. [color=springgreen]"She's got to be around! Surely they can't have gone far!"[/color] she cried, trying to pull herself up, only to fall back down, shaking. The berry had cured the poison, but not its aftereffects.

A pink light shone, and a soothing feeling washed over her. [color=springgreen]"Th-Thanks..."[/color] she whispered to the Audino, although Heal Pulse could only do so much for humans. Holding on to the rough wall of the pit, she made another attempt to pull herself up.

Bonica looked around, then up, squealing in bewilderment. [i]Probably wondering where her playmate is,[/i] Florence thought, barely able to take in what had just happened. 

[color=springgreen]"I-I'm not..."[/color] Tears stung the corners of her eyes. [color=springgreen]"I'm not leaving her behind!"[/color]

As her legs gave out and she slumped to the ground, the awful realisation that she was in no fit state to do any searching came to her. Reaching out and hugging Bonica, she gazed blankly ahead, at the concerned Audino, who kept the Cutiefly safe in her arms.

Now, Florence knew exactly how the couple had felt.

Once more, Ella found herself completely helpless.

As Leisy's Gastly, Purrloin and Fletchinder drove away the last of the Ekans, all she could do was help Florence out of the pit. This was just like the one Vivian had fallen into, the night her mother's Vileplume had been stolen, and just like the one beside the cage containing the Skuntank and Stunkys... Why hadn't she thought to warn Florence about pit traps?

[color=hotpink]"Is... Is there anything...?"[/color] She gave Leisy a desperate look. There had to be something they could do. Even in their current state, even after two nights without sleep, there had to be something... right?
