Reluctantly, Sophia accepted the berry. [color=orchid]"Ehh, thanks I guess, but I swear I'm fine."[/color] She popped it into her mouth, shuddering. Not from the taste - the blend of flavours was undeniably delicious, like cinnamon-spiced apple. Rather, it was what she'd been taught, that relying on outside sources like Leppa berries was cheating her way through training. It showed lack of stamina, and wouldn't help her develop it. Still, she could [i]possibly[/i] consider this situation an exception, if only to avoid being a burden on the team. They already had enough to deal with.

As soon as she stepped into the indoor garden that was the gym, Clarus, still supporting her, moved towards the nearest chair. [color=orchid]"Ugh, all right,"[/color] she grumbled, too drained to protest. The berry's effect would take time to kick in. She slumped into the chair, Clarus floating to her side as Lacey climbed onto her lap. Fantoccino, meanwhile, made a disgusted face at the decor and took refuge in the shade of a potted tree.

Sophia, resting her chin on her hands, frowned at Saki's words. They were meant to be reassuring, yet they raised even more questions. People unable to remember their own names? She shivered. Just what was this effect, and how much damage had it done? [color=orchid]"So he's going to be ok?"[/color] she asked, her tone as fearful as it was hopeful. [color=orchid]"As for what happened the first time, we were on our way to Mesalon, and..."[/color]

A sudden yell cut in as Rheese sat bolt upright. Sophia gave a breathless, relieved laugh. [color=orchid]"Rheese! Geez you gave us a scare."[/color] She set Lacey down and stood up, too fast, but the resulting headache didn't deter her from rushing over. [color=orchid]"Are you ok? I mean, you remember who you are, right? And who we are?"[/color] There were some people here Rheese had never met, but she gestured towards Alexis and Amber. [color=orchid]"How much do you remember?"[/color]

As the gym trainers offloaded Rheese's unconscious form from her and Alexis, Amber rolled her aching shoulder. [color=chocolate]"As long as he's alright..."[/color] she said, casting a worried look his way before sitting down. She slowly breathed in the myriad of garden scents, trying to calm down and make sense of the situation. Tacita, in contrast, seemed pretty happy, in her element as she flitted around the greenery.

[color=chocolate]"Thanks,"[/color] Amber said as a trainer laid out a tea set. [color=chocolate]"I think we all need this. Hey, is it ok if we feed our Pokemon here? To say it's been quite a journey would be an understatement."[/color] Of course, she'd have to feed a certain one of her Pokemon outside. She couldn't risk letting Almandine wreck the place, especially not after Saki had been so kind.

At Rheese's cry, Amber jumped up, nearly knocking her tea over. [color=chocolate]"Oh thank goodness."[/color] She headed to his side, shrugging off her backpack and taking out a packet of tissues. [color=chocolate]"Here, take these."[/color] His own tears seemed to surprise him, she noticed. [color=chocolate]"You ok now? How are you feeling? There's tea thanks to Saki and her friends here, that'll help."[/color] Bustling back through the room like a nurse, she fetched a cup of freshly poured tea for him. [color=chocolate]"I'm going to guess you have just as many questions as we have."[/color]
