[color=orchid]"If you want... I can try."[/color] 

Rheese still didn't understand what was going on, and usually he'd be one of the first people insisting that Sophia shouldn't strain herself but...What other option really was there? Seek out Ray? Who knows how long that would take. Qualeen was quite a distance as well. Rheese begrudgingly sighed and gave Sophia a singular defeated nod. He felt guilty that he was once again being a burden on the psychic.

An attendant approached Saki and whispered something urgent into her ear. The gym leader stood and thanked the woman before turning back to the group.

[color=a2d39c]"I have to get back to my duties as a gym leader, I wish you luck with this...And if this method doesn't work, you should at least take this Bounsweet. She should be able to snap you out of another episode if needed."[/color] Saki said as she placed a pokeball in Rheese's lap.

Rheese for his part was trying to clear his mind or whatever might help Sophia do whatever she had to. The pokeball on his lap didn't even phase him.

A small hedgehog-like pokemon warily looked at the town from the the trees. Sure, it had been there many times before and...yeah, they had given it alot of good food. Something felt different today though and the lingering smell of smoke from a recent battle just added to the unease. 

[color=ed1c24]"There it is!"[/color] A voice rang out and a few team Noble grunts came sprinting from nearby. "Get back here Shaymin, we'd rather not have to hurt you to take you in!"

Shaymin panicked and ran into town, forcing the grunts to cease their chase and radio their superior. They couldn't afford to cause another commotion this soon, and of course they couldn't risk being caught by the gym leader Saki...the commander would have their heads on a platter if they compromised the base's location.
