Ella looked from the unconscious woman to Leisy. [color=hotpink]"How do we tell her?"[/color] she whispered, heart sinking at the thought, just as it had done when she'd heard the report. She couldn't begin to imagine what the news would do to Florence, who'd pushed herself to exhaustion only to be no closer to finding her Chikorita. Hands on her lap, Ella clenched the fabric of her skirt, a mix of relief, disappointment and frustration coursing through her. 

They'd completed their original mission. They'd found the Vileplume, her leaf trail having led the police to the many caged Pokemon. No matter how many had been rescued just now, though, it wasn't a victory until all of them were saved.

It shouldn't have felt like a failure. It wasn't their fault the Chikorita hadn't been anywhere nearby. Nonetheless, it did.

[i]Where am I...?[/i]

Florence's surroundings came into focus. Different surroundings. Blue walls, the beeping of machines, the smell of antiseptic chemicals. She scrunched her eyelids at the glaring lights overhead, letting out a soft moan, dizziness intensifying.

"Nea!" At the sound of Tiergan's voice by the bedside, it all came back.

With a gasp, Florence sat bolt upright. [color=springgreen]"Ah!"[/color] She clutched her throbbing head, multicoloured spots dancing in her vision. Her back and legs ached fiercely from the earlier constant movement, the wound on her shoulder had flared up, and her left arm stung, an IV hooked to a saline bag sticking out from under a bandage. As usual, she ignored her physical state, other things on her mind.

[color=springgreen]"Is everyone ok?"[/color] she forced out through her dry throat, the words hurried with tension. [color=springgreen]"D-Did we win? The Pokemon, are they out of there? Where's Vernie?"[/color]

She stared around the room, but there was no sign of her Chikorita.

Jason had no idea how much time had passed.

He wasn't tired, hungry or thirsty, but it was already more than clear that reality didn't work the same way in this place. Had he been in here for hours, days, weeks... longer?

At the sound of crunching leaves and twigs, he whirled around. The sight before him made him stagger back. He'd expected an illusion of the child, the parents, or somebody from his past. Not this.

[color=darkorange][b][i]"Heh. The mighty Legendwatch leader, flinching away like some frightened little Skitty,"[/i][/b][/color] the figure taunted, standing tall, green eyes glinting. A smirk spread across his tanned face, which looked a few years older than it should. [color=darkorange][b][i]"Surprised to see me? Admit it, do you really expect me - this version of me - to ever exist?"[/i][/b][/color]

The man folded his arms across the dragon silhouette on his shirt, the two Pokemon by his side advancing. One stomped forward, sturdy legs supporting a hulking clay body that towered over the humans. With each of its steps, the ground shook. The other floated, staring ahead with a single gem-like eye, light reflecting off its shield.

[color=darkorange][b][i]"If you do,"[/i][/b][/color] the familiar but changed man continued, [color=darkorange][b][i]"then prove it. Prove you can be me."[/i][/b][/color] He took a stride forward. [color=darkorange][b][i]"Amyntas, Agne, show him what you're capable of now."[/i][/b][/color]

Jason tensed, forcing himself not to shrink away as the Golurk and Aegislash drew ever closer. The real, lower-level Amyntas and Agne stayed where they were, prepared to defend their trainer even at their disadvantage.

[color=darkorange]"Careful, both of you!"[/color] Jason called out. The illusory trainer in front of him sneered.

[color=darkorange][b][i]"Doubting yourself. Just as always,"[/i][/b][/color] he chuckled. [color=darkorange][b][i]"Some master in the making you are. Go on. Prove both of us wrong."[/i][/b][/color]

Winning this battle could be the only way out of here, Jason thought as he stood frozen to the spot. If it wasn't, though, or if he lost... would there be any way out?
