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.
"She's going to be fine," Florence replied to Leisy, cradling the Pokeball. "Grass types heal fast, but she'll still need medical attention - more than I can give her."
She glanced down at the terrified bug. "This Cutiefly, though... We can't just leave him here." She gently placed him on a ledge so he wouldn't get stepped on, keeping a pair of plastic gloves on to prevent the numbing spores from touching her skin. "What if he starts attacking again? What if people here don't go easy on him?" She didn't want to imagine anyone setting a high-level Flying or Poison type on the already injured Pokemon, but it was all too possible.
"Hey! What in the name of Arceus do you think you're doing?" Florence spun around, backing away from a woman whose glare pierced into her. "Catching a Pokemon in a place like this? Look at this mess! Some of us are trying to relax here!" Several other pairs of judging eyes turned in her direction.
"S-Sorry!" Florence retreated further. "I'll - I'll go up and pay for the damage."
That was when Ella stepped in. "She wasn't trying to catch him! He's hurt and scared. If it hadn't been for her, he wouldn't have stopped attacking."
The shoppers kept grumbling, muttering something about "damn bugs" and "careless trainers". Trying to shake off the accusation, Florence turned back to Ella and Leisy.
"Thanks," she said to Ella. Her expression became thoughtful, shadowed with unease. "And here's what we could do. Bonica and I can watch over him, she'll be able to use another Stun Spore if she has to." She handed the patchwork-clothed girl a Pokeball. "Please take Vernie to the Pokemon centre, and get this Cutiefly's trainers."
She shifted her cautious gaze to the Cutiefly, then to the Budew. Bonica stood close by her trainer, buds slightly open, ready to act fast if necessary. Her Poison typing meant she didn't have the same Bug weakness as pure Grass types, Florence reminded herself, and it gave her a resistance to Fairy attacks. Still, the trainer couldn't help but worry.

"Are you sure you'll be ok?" Ella asked, to which Florence insisted she would. As reluctant as she was to leave Florence alone with a panicked Pokemon and someone who had just shouted abuse, there wasn't really another option. Given the way some people had reacted, if the Cutiefly freaked out again and the Grass type trainer wasn't around to subdue him, they'd most likely retaliate.
"I'll get your Chikorita seen to right away - I can't believe I let that happen!" She hurried from the conservatory, gripping the Pokeball. "I'm so sorry, Vernie! I didn't mean for you to get hurt," she whispered, although she didn't know if the Chikorita would be able to hear her inside the capsule. It had been her fault that the Cutiefly had caused so much destruction, that Vernie had taken the Bug-type move, that Florence had been yelled at. Now it felt like her responsibility to fix as much of the damage as possible.
"You remember where these people live, right?" she asked Leisy. "You could go and tell them where the Cutiefly is, while I go to the Pokemon centre. Then let's meet up in the greenhouse."
@fer1323 Oscar could catch a Riolu around Mesalon. Though if you want him to get given one, maybe Sophia and Oscar could get a Pokemon each from Lan? Both our characters are set on becoming stronger for their own reasons, after all.
The Inkay kept turning from side to side, drifting ahead and repeating his actions.
"I don't think he's found anything yet..." Ella said as she followed beside Florence and Leisy. "But all we've got to do is keep looking!"
After some seemingly fruitless wandering around, the Psychic type froze in midair, staring ahead. Letting out a cry, he gestured with one of his tendrils towards a public greenhouse.
Ella sped up her pace to a near-run, slowing once close to the entrance. If the Cutiefly was in there, she didn't want to scare it. "Where is it?" she whispered to Jumbles, making her way through the rows of shrubs and flowers.
As the Inkay floated towards a corner, squeaking at something, Ella failed to spot it at first. A faint buzzing drew her gaze downwards. She gasped.
The little bug drew back, unsteady as it fluttered into the air. Looping in erratic patterns, it smacked into the glass, bouncing off only to start zipping and wobbling around again.
"It's terrified!" Ella's eyes were wide with shock as she turned towards the others. "And injured!"
She whipped back round at a burst of green, returning Jumbles just in time. "We won't hurt you! We're here to take you home!"
The energy blast shot through the spot where the Inkay had been a second ago, colliding with another target whose squeal sounded through the greenhouse.
"Vernie!" Florence dropped to her knees next to the Chikorita, who struggled at stand up. Some of the buds on her neck were scorched, and painful-looking marks mottled her side. Stay calm, stay calm, Florence told herself, fighting to keep her hands from shaking as she rummaged for medicines. Bug Pokemon could do considerable damage to Grass types.
The trained hunched down just in time as a flurry of silver blades flew through the conservatory, slicing up potted plants. "Please... Please calm down!" she begged, but the Cutiefly kept thudding into the glass and firing attacks every which way.
"I'm sorry I've got to do this..." She glanced at the Budew by Vernie's side. "Bonica, use Stun Spore!" The buds on the Grass-type's vines opened, releasing a cloud of powder that scattered all over the Cutiefly. It dropped to the ground, writhing to the extent that it could.
Florence let out a shuddering breath. "S-Sorry, but that was the only way to stop you attacking, and hurting yourself..." As she checked over and treated both Vernie and the Cutiefly, Ella apologised profusely, face pale with horror.
"They'll both be ok," Florence reassured her, recalling Vernie to her Pokeball. People stared in the group's direction, but the trainer ignored them, turning back to the Cutiefly and consulting her Pokedex. She already knew this Cutiefly had to be one of the missing ones, but the device confirmed it.
"Shhh, it's alright. It's safe back at home," Florence whispered, but the Cutiefly twitched his wings, attempting to take to the air.
All the bug could do was keep his eyes fixed on the group who swayed before him, their auras blurring. Through the haze of dizziness, he couldn't easily read these strangers. One had treated his injuries, but had done nothing about the near-immobility one of her Pokemon had inflicted on him. Were these people to be trusted?

@fer1323 Don't worry, her Pokemon's levels will be the same as everyone else's, and remember we can choose the number of Pokemon for battles (so people can battle with, say, 3 each even if they have more than that). You could fill out your team too, if you want.
And yeah, we'll be heading to Vareena next if everyone's ok with that.
