The worst thing about mental illness is you have to look after yourself a disgusting amount. I know it's the only way to actually be in a fit state to look out for others, but it still feels wrong.

Judging by the Internet's definitions of introversion and extraversion, you'd think everyone's either an extreme hermit or a party animal with no in between.

Bio

A frazzled British thirtysomething cat mum with something of a tea addiction.

I like a wide range of RP genres, but have two absolute favourites: Pokemon and magical girls. (If someone manages to combine the two, I'll be VERY happy!) I post fairly regularly, but sometimes shit mental health days crop up - if that causes any delays, I'll try to resume posting ASAP.

As the girl she'd been talking to a moment ago asked about her medical knowledge, Florence gave an awkward smile. "Well, I did train to be a nurse, yes," she replied, the confidence fading from her voice. "But I'm no substitute for a Pokemon centre professional."

Above, the chaos had started to calm down. The bats, swaying in midair, pulled themselves from the sandstorm and took off into the night. As the sand stopped swirling and settled all over the ground, Florence crawled from under the Duskull's cloak, the pink-haired girl and the Inkay beside her.

"Whew... Thanks." Again, the corners of her mouth twitched into that tight, nervous smile. She set about checking on all the other Pokemon as soon as Leisy stopped hugging hers. No major damage - and one good thing had come about from that battle. Where the Piplup and Larvitar had been before the sandstorm kicked up, were a proud Prinplup and a sturdy Pupitar. "Heh... Evolution is pretty fascinating."

Even so, it shouldn't have had to happen that way. "Sorry you got caught up in that," she murmured to both trainers, but mostly the girl whose Inkay had been hurt. "Are you both alright? That's, uh... I guess that's what happens when you take on too much with only one Pokemon."

She let out that one Pokemon, just to make sure the Chikorita was alright. The moment Vernie appeared, she gave a relieved cry and hugged Florence's leg with her vines. It seemed the Pokemon had been just as worried about her trainer. "Hey, I'm fine," Florence reassured her, leaning down and checking her over.

Vernie wasn't injured, but as soon as she saw some of the other Pokemon were, she rushed towards them. "Ita? Ita-chiko-rita. Chiko," she said, her tone gentle and soothing, as she looked up at the Inkay, who floated closer. She's much better at cheering up sick and injured Pokemon than I am, Florence thought, watching the two.

"Yeah... Let's go." With a glance around for any possible hostile Pokemon, she made her way alongside the others to the Pokecentre.

When the Inkay perked up, a laugh of relief bubbled from Ella so hard it made her ribs hurt. "Hey, Jumbles, try to take it easy," she said as she watched him attempt to fly around. She turned to the newcomer - a nurse, for all intents and purposes, as luck would have it. "Oh, thank you! Thank you so much!"

Once the sandstorm had died down, Ella shuffled forward and stood up. The shadows shrunk as Brighteye pulled her cloak inwards, brushing sand from it. The protective spirit showed no signs of being badly hurt, but that could just have been her natural stubbornness. "You did really well! Thanks, Brighteye," Ella said, before turning her head this way and that, her worried gaze sweeping around for the Stunky. "Allsort! Are you ok?" The skunk took slow, staggering steps towards her, but his eyes remained sharp and alert.

"Skull?" Brighteye spun in the air, staring at something. At the sound of an excited cry from Leisy, Ella whirled around. So that was why Naunet and Devinco had seemed bigger. "You two look great!" Ella's face lit up with a wide grin. "Congratulations, Leisy!"

Brighteye, though, wasn't so impressed. "Duskull..." she muttered, glaring at them, then looking down at her wispy robe. Turning round, she folded her raggedy arms and did her usual thing of sulking. Envious, Ella realised. "Brighteye! You're pretty strong as you are, you know! And you'll evolve soon enough."

She knew how Brighteye felt, she acknowledged, with a sting of shame at the bitterness that burned inside her. Leisy was such a strong trainer, she'd successfully protected someone in need just now... and all Ella had done was get another Pokemon hurt. But the important thing was that everyone would be alright.

After checking over all the Pokemon, the newcomer let out hers. A Chikorita, who wasted no time in cheering up Jumbles despite her own distressed state. "Oh! That's a friendly little Pokemon you have," Ella commented, then turned back to Jumbles. "You should rest for now, I'll get you to the Pokemon centre right away."

Returning Jumbles, Brighteye and Allsort to their Pokeballs, Ella hurried in the direction of the building, the other two trainers close by.

Sand spiralled up from the ground, buffeting Ella and her Pokemon. Shielding her eyes, she called out to wherever her Stunky was.

"Allsort, use Fury Swipes!" She reached for another Pokeball. "Brighteye! Hit them with Shadow Sneak!" Brighteye sped to Jumbles' side, swiping with shadowy arms at the Zubats, while Allsort leapt up and lashed with his claws. Through her watering eyes, the trainer could only just make out the vague shapes of Leisy's Pokemon, also putting up a fight. It was difficult to tell, but she was almost sure they looked different. Bigger.

"Leisy!" Ella stumbled forward, reaching out, as she heard the other trainer call for her. "Leisy, where are you?" Spitting out sand, she realised with a panicked jolt that shouting may be a bad idea. Zubats had very sensitive hearing. They'd know where she was. She could only hope the sandstorm would throw off their sonar and flight patterns.

An agonised scream, followed by a muffled thud, turned her blood cold. She whirled around. "Jumbles!" Peering out from behind her arm, she half-ran, half-staggered towards the twitching shape on the ground, and dropped to her knees. "Somebody help!"

She hunched over the injured Pokemon as a shadow loomed above. "Skull!" came a familiar voice. With a surge of relief, Ella looked up to see not the Zubats, but Brighteye floating over her, stretching out her cloak to protect her and Jumbles from the sand.

The Inkay's light was fading, but Brighteye's shone down, revealing the extent of the damage. Ella gasped at the sight of the puncture wounds. If that had been the attack she thought it was, that could be nothing other than devastating to a dual Psychic and Dark type.

Someone tugged at the sleeve of Florence's dress - someone who called her Ella. She turned, seeing a dark-haired girl through the raging sandstorm. "Eheh... I'm fine," she softly reassured the stranger. "But the Pokemon I was looking for... she got lost again, I hope she's not hurt..." She clasped her hands, hoping the Zubats hadn't injured the Cutiefly in any way - and that the little bug hadn't encountered any other predators.

"You don't have to be sorry..." She squinted up at the struggling shapes. It looked like the Zubats were having a tough time flying through the sand. "Thanks."

At the sound of cries from a Pokemon and a human, Florence turned and rushed through the sand. She froze as a mass of darkness billowed in front of her.

"It's alright," came a shaking voice from under the shadows. "She's my Duskull, she'll keep us safe. Please! Can you help? One of my Pokemon, he's hurt!"

Crouching under the cloak next to a pink-haired girl, Florence grabbed her medical kit from her bag and quickly cleaned the sand from the Inkay's wound before using her potion. The punctures began to close, but the Inkay still barely moved. All he could do was let out faint whimpers.

"Is he going to be alright?" the girl asked, eyes wide.

"He's stable now," Florence reassured her, applying a salve made from berries to the wound and placing a bandage over the top part of the Inkay's mantle. "This will ease pain and aid healing. The wound isn't deep, Inkays have very tough mantles, but to have had that effect on him, that attack must have been Leech Life. A Bug-type move." She dug out some berries from her bag and fed them to him. "He'll need these, they'll replenish his lost fluids. And get him to a Pokemon centre as soon as you can."

Between the sandstorm and the horde of bats, there was no way to easily get to the building right now, but the Inkay had already perked up. He weakly floated a few inches above the ground, his lights brightening.

Overhead, the battle still unfolded. Florence couldn't see it through the sand and shadows, but she could hear the shrieks of Zubats. It had to mean the other trainers' Pokemon were winning, she thought, her entire body tensing. It had to.

Giving her Pokemon their own snacks and sitting down, Sophia glared up from her breakfast. What was with this guy and his constant prying? "What, are you saying I'm some kind of weakling?" she asked. "Am I just going to have to prove you wrong?"

Looking away, she took a mouthful of scrambled eggs and toast. She was supposed to make a better impression on people than this. She'd show him! She'd train! Then she'd have no problem getting that gym badge... would she?

It wasn't long until Rheese joined them, and of course, the first thing he mentioned was yesterday's event. Sophia stifled a groan, but couldn't exactly blame him. "When we head to the gym," she said, "I'll be able to keep a look out better than anyone else."

She immediately regretted her words. Yes, she could sense nearby people who were out of sight - testing her ability, she picked up on surrounding energy signals more sharply than she'd done yesterday evening - but it wasn't as if she could tell exactly who those people were. Now, if Rheese and Oscar thought they could rely on her, she could end up letting them down.




Amber Pine

@Heckno12

Amber sat there, hands held over the keyboard, then leaned back with a sigh. She gave the screen a blank stare. What was she supposed to write?

If she told the truth, her family would be worried sick, and what would it do to Coral's future as a trainer? If she didn't, though... She didn't want to lie. Coral had a right to know. And what if her family found out about the attack in Kosei anyway?

She'd have to think this over, possibly after asking someone for advice. Nyxx, though, seemed busy right now, the Gengar's antics prompting her to rush from the building with a grumble. Amber glanced around the room to see if there was anyone else she could talk to.

That was when a woman approached, making her cheery introduction that reminded Amber of the red-haired coordinator from yesterday. Despite it being first thing in the morning, Rachel's entire demeanour brimmed with energy and positivity.

"Hey," the researcher replied, closing the laptop and putting on a smile. "My name's Amber." The Rockruff, somehow aware of a newcomer, burst from her Pokeball and bounced over with a yap, earning a slight laugh from Amber. "And this is Kyra. She's pretty friendly, as you can see."

@Heckno12 Who's likely to meet Rachel first?
@Zarkun Aw! So annoying when computers pack in. Hope you can get a new one soon.

At the sound of footsteps, Sophia turned around. The guy who'd fussed over her yesterday was probably also going to do so today. Just great. "Hmph... You don't have to worry so much, you know," she said. "I'm fine."

Deep down, though, as annoying as she found the attitude, she couldn't help being somewhat grateful for the concern. She hoped Daisho wouldn't tell him that. If he did, Oscar would most likely think she needed it - and really, there was no reason for him to worry about her. She WAS fine. Or at least, she would be, once she'd done everything she planned to do.

"Anyway," she continued, heading into the cafeteria alongside him, a confident smirk spreading across her face - hopefully a convincing one. "Today's the day I show the gym leader what kind of battle I'm really capable of."

Sitting down in the lobby, Amber took out her laptop and started to compile the notes she'd made over the past few days. As fascinating as her observations on Pokemon had been, some of them hadn't quite been what she'd expected - like the incident with the Rufflets.

Surely other researchers would have an idea what could be going on with these Pokemon. She opened up her emails, instantly noticing she had a new one. As she opened it and read through, her heart sank.

Such a positive, cheery-sounding message... such a seemingly impossible one to answer. Biting her lip, she read over the email again.

Hey Amber!

Yeah, it's still early days, but just wanted to know, how's everything going? Mom and Dad have been worrying, you know how they can be, but I'm sure you're doing fine! You're so lucky! Tell me all about it!

Just a few years now until I'm a trainer too, can't wait!!

Miss you (as much of a pain as you can be)

Coral


Amber stared at the screen, the previous few days' disastrous events replaying through her mind. How on earth was she going to respond truthfully to that?

@Balthazar007 Ahh, ok. I read that bit wrong the first time round and got confused. Yeah, I'll bump up the Pokemon's levels (and try to have the other Pokemon catch up).

The sun had gone down, but the soft glow of the park lights provided plenty of light to see by, as did the swarm of Volbeats flitting through the sky, guided by an Illumise.

Vernie scampered ahead of Florence, looking this way and that. "Uhh, please try to slow down," Florence urged. "If the Cutiefly's still around here, we'll have to be careful not to startle it." She kept a look out herself, watching for any sign of movement in the shrubs.

Crouching down next to the lavender plants, she peered into them. "Hmmm... it doesn't seem to be around here..." She was just about to stand up when there was a buzzing noise. Inching forward, she craned her neck. There, between the plants and the wooden fence, was a tiny yellow fly. It instantly shrank back at the sight of her.

"Come on, little one. It's ok," Florence whispered. Vernie approached, gently saying something to the panicked Cutiefly. As it turned its attention to the Chikorita, Florence took out her Pokedex, taking care not to make any sudden movements. Sure enough, this was one of the Cutieflies she was looking for. "It's safe to go back now," she tried to reassure it.

The Cutiefly stayed where she was, studying the energy of the girl and her Pokemon. There was something guarded about this human, her aura tightly closed around her, difficult to read. The Chikorita, though... Her aura resembled bright yellow sunflowers in full bloom. Nothing to hide. Slowly, cautiously, the fly drew closer. As she did so, the glow surrounding the human brightened, taking on flecks of pink. Concern. Watching the flecks grow into unfurling petals, the Cutiefly fluttered out of the flowerbed.

"Let's get you home." A smile softened Florence's features as Vernie let the little bug perch on her leaf. Both trainer and Pokemon turned to head back - and seemingly out of nowhere, something flew at them.

The Cutiefly took to the air, speeding into the distance. A mass of Zubats followed, ears trained on its buzzing as they closed in.

Vernie reacted first. "Chiko! Chikori-ta!" she called, whirling her leaf around, wafting her scent towards the Zubats. The moment they spun in midair to face her, the Cutiefly buzzed away, out of Florence's sight and the Zubats' earshot.

Shrieking their frustration, the colony rushed at Vernie.

It was Florence's turn to act fast. "Vernie, come back!" she shouted, grasping the Pokeball and recalling the Chikorita just in time. Biting down on thin air, one of the Zubats let out another screech. They sped at a different target - Florence.

There was only one thing to do. Run. Get to a building and take shelter until the Zubats had gone. Her feet pounded against the path, but the fluttering of wings became louder as the wild Pokemon drew closer and closer.

While Allsort kept his piercing glare on the Purrloin, Ella relaxed and stepped forward.

"Hello again," she said, watching Leisy feed it another berry. She couldn't help but chuckle. "Well, you've fed a cat," she said to Leisy. "You know what this means." Crouching down as the other trainer started petting the Purrloin, she let it rub its head against her hand. "Aww!" A grin spread across her face as she tickled the cat under its chin, earning a loud purr.

"Stun! Stunky!" Allsort cried, his glare flicking between the Purrloin and Ella. He scurried over to the pink-haired girl, giving the cat a look of pure jealousy before rubbing around Ella's ankles.

Leaving the befriending of the Purrloin to Leisy, Ella petted Allsort on the head, running her hand down his fluffy back. "Sorry I couldn't spend time with you up until now," she said. It was still jarring to think she'd been asleep for a day and a half.

Asleep, when she should have been training to become better able to save the missing Pokemon.

It was only a matter of minutes before they left the forest, the Purrloin still trotting along after Leisy. "Looks like you've got a new Pokemon already," Ella commented. Her earlier suspicion had been right.

She spun round at the sound of frantic footsteps, the high-pitched screeching of Pokemon making the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. A young woman ran from the park, a horde of Zubats chasing after her.

"Jumbles!" Ella's first instinct was to send out the Psychic type. "Quick! Use Psybeam!" The area lit up as the Inkay fired a multicoloured beam at one of the Zubats, knocking it from the sky. Several of the others turned, ears swivelled towards her and Leisy, darting forward with their sharp fangs bared.




@Balthazar007 Ahh, ok. What about Pokemon who evolve through friendship, or with an evo stone?
