Ella glanced from the shelves to her Pokedex. "Well, I'm not gonna walk around without potions again," she replied, before heading over to the desk. Thirty-five trainer points... That would be more than enough for three Pokeballs, a potion and a Rare Candy. As she purchased the items, the kindly-faced woman at the counter, noticing Ella's considerably more subdued state, frowned slightly and asked if everything was ok.

"Y-Yeah... Everything's fine," Ella insisted, putting her newly-bought items away. "And thanks."

Placing her hand on Leisy's shoulder, she smiled, although she doubted she could hide the concern in her eyes. "They'll look out for each other," she reassured Leisy. "They need to spend some time together right now."

As she left the mart, Ella gave Vivian a quick call to let her know about her and Leisy's plans. Despite what she'd just told Leisy, Ella couldn't help but worry. Would she be able to be the kind of friend Vivian deserved, one who could help her in a crisis? She hoped the journey to Stillwater would allow her to become that friend.

Last night truly had taken its toll on Cici. Not only had she walked in a circle, right back to the Pokecentre, she'd completely forgotten Olivie had headed there too. As the girl and her friend stepped outside, Cici approached them, Cadence in her arms.

Seeing the girl in a clean outfit reminded Cici what a mess she was right now. Leaves tumbled out of her matted hair as she walked, and she could feel mud seeping through her clothes. Getting cleaned up could wait, though, until she found out more about what was going on.

"Hey. You feeling better now?" she asked. "Just wanted to say, thanks. And yeah... I think I remember a Sylveon, but did you see any other humans in the forest? Anyone who was... you know... like me?"

@Dusksong Either one would be fine, but Stillwater will be done soon.

@Balthazar007 What would be a reasonable number of TPs to give to each person?

Pokemon: New World

@Dusksong Ok, yeah it's best if they're already on their way.

@Balthazar007 I think I'll be putting up a mission soon about the kidnappings, any guidelines I'll have to know about that haven't been mentioned?

Cici forced herself to laugh, putting up her usual cheerful facade although it seemed ready to crack at any moment. "For a given value of awake," she said. "Yeah... I hope she's doing better now."

Being around the person who had gone looking for her should have been comforting. Instead, her doubts nagged at her more persistently than ever. Humans were unreliable, they were bound to leave eventually, why was she seeking their friendship when she had other, better options... She tried to push away the thoughts by reminding herself that Tommy had been loyal enough to search for her, but she couldn't shake the worries that whispered at her, the feeling that some day she'd find herself alone... And right now, that fear was far more intense than usual.

The young trainer mentally yelled at herself to snap out of it. This had to be part of the spell, and drinking too much coffee hadn't helped at all.

She tried to distract herself by looking down at Tommy's new companion. "Hey... Epsilon, right?" she asked, glancing from the new Pokemon to Tommy. A slight frown creased her face as she studied the Pokemon, taking in the scars on his head, the ragged leaves on his back. "What happened to him? Is he ok?" she asked. This was yet another reminder of how dangerous the forest was, and yet something about it seemed to call to her...

"And I had another question." She attempted to recall exactly what had happened just as the sun had risen. "Back there, in the forest... Did you see anyone else?"

Cici kept staring at the window of the Pokecentre. In the distance, she could see the treetops above the buildings. The sight of them gave her a sense of longing, as if she'd turned her back on something only to regret it.

She tore her attention away, sipping at a cup of coffee. It only did so much to lift the fatigue, but it was better than nothing. Whatever was left of this enchantment, she had to shake it off.

Hearing the nurse call her name, she stood up too quickly. The room spun, and she nearly spilled her coffee. She put the cup down and staggered to the desk, nerves taut. Maybe all that caffeine hadn't been a great idea after all.

"How are they?" she asked, a tremble of worry in her voice.

As the nurse smiled, she relaxed. "They're all doing fine," the nurse told her, handing her four Pokeballs.

After thanking the nurse, Cici crouched down and let out Cadence. "Kri? Kricket?" the bug said, staring up at the person who was once again the trainer she knew.

"I'm sorry, Cadence... I'm so sorry." With tears of relief in her eyes, Cici rubbed the Kricketot's back. She tried to tell herself it hadn't been her fault, but somehow she felt as if it was. Would Cadence hold a grudge against her for ignoring her like that? Instead, though, Cadence gave a happy chirp and cuddled up to Cici.

"Come on." Gripping on to the desk, Cici eased herself up. She gave Cadence a reassuring smile. "Whatever happened last night, it's over now. I'm my usual self again." It was over... wasn't it? She could only hope that it was, that this strange feeling that still remained would pass soon. "Lesson learned. No wandering around Feyhollow forest at night."

She left the Pokecentre, looking out for Tommy and Olivie, all the while softly singing an upbeat tune in an attempt to calm herself down. At least, that was what she tried to do. The song turned into something else, something she only vaguely remembered...

"Krick?" Cadence squealed in alarm.

Cici stopped singing. "Ah! Sorry! I-I didn't mean to sing that..." The song had brought back another memory. A hazy one, but possibly an important one... She stood still with shock at the realisation.

She'd have to ask Tommy or Olivie if they'd also seen what she thought she'd seen - if she'd been the only one under the fairies' spell.

@fer1323 Ok. Sophia will probably be joining in later. @Noxx, after someone posts, I can reply as Amber if you want.

@Heckno12 @AbysmalDemon @OtomostheCrazy @Dusksong Which one of you wants to post next?

Pokemon Spiral

@Noxx Not sure what he wants to do though... @fer1323, do you want to follow the others or practice for contests?

Pokemon: New World

@Dusksong Yeah, battling later would be fine. This means depending how many Pokemon Ella and Leisy catch, they might come back from Stillwater as skilled trainers. (I know Leisy's battled, but Ella hasn't.)

@Zarkun Ok, I'll probably be able to post tomorrow too.

Pokemon: New World

@Dusksong Yeah, Ella would be up for a battle. Leisy's the one with more Pokemon, but I don't mind losing, especially if it's just a training session.
