Benjamin followed Ari, but before leaving the room he went to Dia to give her a kiss on the cheek. "Stay safe, we'll see each other in the morning again."
After that, he left the room, after making sure no-one of the staff was in the corridor, and he walked back to his room.
Knowing Dia could walk around made and look after Ray got rid of that worry, and he was certain Dia would be okay. That Josh was probably still around and he seemed to be on their side, for now at least.

"You're welcome to stay with me," Benjamin said, although after the order of Dia it didn't seem either of them had much to say in the matter, "but I would appreciate it if you'd give me some privacy when I change in my pyjama's."

Daddy Ho-oh will arrive a bit late

NaNoWriMo 2020

@Penny You wrote and have 6000 words you didn't have before. That's a good thing.

There is also Camp NaNoWriMo in April and July in which you can set your own wordcount goal.

The insane asylum

Benjamin looked up from the book and had a warm smile for Artemis. "You survived it and that's what matters." With a gesture he to the empty seat next to him he invited her to join him. "There are plenty of low-quality novels to choose from to kill some time before food is served." He glanced at the books on the table close to them. "The Petals Of The Rose sounds exciting, right?"

This place was really living from the eating moments until it was time to sleep, and endure the moments of therapy inbetween. He cringed when one of the patients suddenly screamed and she was quickly taken away by staff. To her room, probably, to be sedated. Wasn't that how they usually dealt with outbursts here?

Benjamin listened to Duncan with a worried frown creasing his forehead.
"It is," Benjamin said as he looked at the approaching car. "Shall we pick you up somewhere?"
He went to the van first to look for the gems, keeping the cellphone at his ear. With one hand and the help of his small winged friend he went through the stuff to find them.

"We'll get you to the ocean," Mike said. "Where did you put the gems? We can't leave them here." He helped Freya up and guided her to Duncan's car while keeping an eye on the agent who fumbled with his helmet. "Is there anything else in the van that has to come?"

"Be vague about who you are," Benjamin replied. "Tell them you are new here and that you are excited about your first night. And if they ask why you aren't on the roster tell them you were asked to strengthen the team this morning and since you were unemployed you could start immediately. Just pretend to not know your way around yet or that you know them because you observed them from the shadows."

He watched Ari pick up the pillow and throw it. She may have been an aggressive spirit before, now there was no evidence of that. "I'll head back," he said. "if they catch us in an empty room we'll be in trouble. I'm not supposed to be here and you're not supposed to be with me in a room that is not mine with the door closed."

A Metagross silently joined the scene and landed the smaller Pokémon four hands.
Jirachi waved to Brock, but remained seated on the shrine and listened to the music. Then he noticed the three Johto beasts in human form and floated to them, recognizing them almost instinctively. "Why do you look human?" he asked them.

Tanter stroke his moustache as Chifferi approached them. "Niccia is forced in a human shape and she's bringing a human with her. We thought it would be a nice gesture to be that way too."
"Oh...Would she mind... if I wouldn't... I'm not sure I want to spend the few awake days I have as a human..."

James had overheard the conversation. "Miss Penalopy said she would remain in her Pokémon form regardless of how many of the others would come in their human form. She likes being, and I quote 'small and floaty'. And I'm sure miss Niccia would never ask of anyone to take a shape they aren't comfortable with."

"Yeah, I, I don't know yet. Maybe I'll change too. But, not yet." Chifferi said.

"Art," Merlin repeated with a nod of his head. "I'm called Merlin. The man with the Butterfree on his shoulder is my trainer."
From the sky he could see the shrine and some adult-looking humans who were probably legendary Pokéon in disguise.

Andy looked in Celebi's direction when Frosiien mentioned him. It was almost odd to see a legendary Pokémon in their original form, as most had introduced themselves in their human form. He noticed the Delibird walk towards him. He waited to see what Mitch wanted from him.

Michael walked with Niccia after being tugged and joined Mindy and Gavin when the Celebi decided Mindy's head was a good place to sit. An amused smile appeared when he saw how awkward Mindy felt because of that, and he translated the words for her.

Mindy stood still, not sure how to respond to a legendary Pokémon sitting on her head. Somehow she gotten used to the idea of meeting a whole bunch of legendary Pokémon, but to have one sitting on her, that had not been in any of her ideas about how this day might progress.

Greetings! Candy Cane Service!

I got the sweetest message with the Candy Cane. Thank you so much for your kind words <3

The agent made sure the doors were properly closed and he went back to the driver's seat and started the van again. "We'll be there soon," he promised. "Phone in the escape and our current gps location," he told her.
Once again the he drove towards the facility the beasts would be kept.

When the shot was fired, Mike cringed and watched Freya slam into the van. That was not what he had wanted to happen.
"I'm not a seer," he retorted. "How could I have known this was going to happen?"

Both he and Benjamin looked back at the figure that joined them and they watched them grab Freya.
"Change of plan," Benjamin whispered.
"I'm on it~"

The fairy flew to the pistol and put her small hand on the trigger finger, whispering "poison ivy" and a light-green light appeared. It would cause temporary paralysis in the finger, or maybe with a bit of luck it would spread over the hand. She then flew to his face, revealed herself and smiled. "Starlight!" she said as she held out her hands and a bright white light flashed in his face.

Benjamin had shielded his face when the fairy had appeared and had gestured to Mike to do the same. When the light faded they moved in to free Freya from the figure's grasp. While Mike took Freya to pull her free, Benjamin grabbed the arm holding her and the fairy pulled on the gun arm; she pulled with all her might but was barely able to budge it.

As Benjamin held the arm of the assailant, he picked up his phone. "Duncan, everything okay?"
