Kilik clenched his fist. As he watched Lairon move, he noticed something was wrong. Every movement the beast made was sluggish, more so than usual. What's up? he thought, blinking. Everything seemed to be moving in his favor! "Lairon, you've got to hit him with your Take Down again!"
"No, no, Kilik." She waved her finger at him, "You won't win this one. I considered it and figured that a little victory should be mine. Hitmontop, use Brick Break!" The top Pokemon stopped spinning and shot himself up into the air. Once more, his feet and tail crashed into Lairon's cranium with outstanding force.
The behemoth couldn't take it anymore. The damage he had taken was finally tolling on him. He thought that if he could perhaps ignore it, then it wouldn't hinder him. Yet finally, with a loud and proud roar, the beast fell. Lairon crashed against the sand with a thud and a puff of dust. He closed his eyes and the last thing he saw was Hitmontop looming over him. Kilik was dumbfounded. Lairon had a perfect record - he never lost. Lairon was his trump card, the ace in the hole. Then again, I've never battled anyone on Rena or Mike's level with him. The trainer lifted up his Great Ball and recalled his Pokemon, putting the ball back into his side bag. "Great match, Rena." He gave her a thumbs up, "Obviously Lairon needs some more training."
She recalled Hitmontop as well and shook her head. "It's not that he needs more training, Kilik. He's strong, way strong." The girl crossed her arms over her chest. "It was my type advantage. I figured you of all people would realize the massive disadvantage you were at." When the boy only responded with a nod, she sighed. "Don't worry. He's going to evolve soon." She approached him and patted him on the shoulder. Kilik patted her hand in response and the two started walking down the beach.
He filled her in on the entire escapade with Mike through the Team Aqua base. He didn't miss one detail - the frustrating teleportation pad maze, the battle against the Aqua Admin, rescuing a very beaten Sasha, and the fight against Archie himself. Kilik paused outside of the Pokemon Center, then walked inside with her. "I should keep the story on the low down. You never know who might be listening." The trainer handed Nurse Joy the Great Ball and walked with Rena over to a table.
"You're so reckless sometimes," she laughed shaking her head, placing her chin in her hand. "Be careful. You could get hurt." She laughed at his smirk.

For a moment or two Keegan just stared at Helios, taking in the new form as much as he could. Helios stared back, each of his nine tails moving as though they had a mind of their own. Even without the need to focus for an attack he could feel the energies flowing through him. Both trainer and Pokemon looked over as they heard a voice, and Keegan was a little surprised to see the same woman from before. "Uh, thanks," he said, only then realizing that the Fire Stone had vanished. He glanced down at the floor, fully expecting to see bits of dust where it had crumbled, but there was nothing. He then looked to Helios - had the stone been absorbed into the fox's body when it was used? It would make perfect sense if it did. He looked back up at the woman again. "Just who are you anyway?"
When he saw Riza finally come back into the lobby, he waved, finding himself to be the tiniest bit disappointed that she was wearing a robe instead of the towel like earlier. He forced the thought from his mind and smiled at her. "Thanks, I think so too," he nodded, petting Helios' soft fur. It seemed as though the fox's coat had grown softer and shiner than ever, if it was even possible. He suddenly realized that all those nine tails meant that would be a lot of fur to brush and keep clean. He just hoped he was up to that task.

One minute, Tora was holding her lovely little staring contest with this Pikachu, and the minute, before she knew it, the yellow blur of a Pokemon had smashed into her side! The Phanpy trumpeted from the surprise, but also the sudden uncomfortable clench she felt in her guts-- crap! Cramp! Cramp!
Fine, lesson learned. When the stomach sends the "I'm full" message to the brain, you don't just file that somewhere in the closet, Tora thought woefully, rubbing her still slightly swollen tummy with a back leg.
M.A., having snapped out of her sleepy mode, was now alert enough to see the Phanpy's apparent discomfort. "Take a deep breath, stretch, and try to tough through it, girl. It'll probably go away soon," she promised, holding back a laugh as best she could, for Tora looked like she had flees the way she was going. The elephant, sensing her tone, gave her a glare, clearly resenting this. But ah well, Tora was fully aware that she wasn't all that bright, and M.A. was usually right... or wrong... but whatever. Even with the cramps, the Phanpy loved battling, so she wouldn't let that get in the way of this if she could help it.
Back to the battle. "Alright, Tora, Tackle!" Grunting, the little tank made a dash towards her opponent, rearing her head at the last moment. True to M.A.'s word, the movement felt better than just sitting still and thinking about it.
Meanwhile, Ulani found herself relatively bored at what was going on, and so, she pecked M.A.'s cheek affectionately, floating away a foot or two to show her intent. "You can go," the trainer said, smiling. "Just don't stray too far, and don't make too much trouble... and no stealing," she added as an afterthought, remembering the bird's penchant for shiny things. But by then Ulani was out of earshot, so ah well.

"This is the end of the road for you, Trainer," Giovanni said from his chair. His cold eyes glared down at a girl who had challenged him to a Gym Battle. So far, she hadn't even managed to knock out one of his Pokemon. "Rhydon, attack with your Mega Punch." On the battlefield were two Pokemon: Giovanni's unnaturally large Rhydon and the girl's Beautifly. With a few crashing steps, the bipedal rhino Pokemon raised his massive fist and slammed it right into the insect. He watched as the girl left silently. "Maybe next time," he laughed as he recalled his Rhydon.
These small Gym battles meant nothing to him. They weren't nearly as exciting or worthwhile as any battles involving those children. Where was the challenge? He paused as he stood from his chair. Slowly, Giovanni sat back down. What makes those kids different? he thought, That girl I battled just now was no older or younger than they, yet I trounced her without breaking a sweat. Why do those particular kids pose such a threat? Are they not mere trainers themselves? He stood up quickly and turned on his heel. The man went swiftly down the stairs and pushed open the door, storming into the lab. "Status report!" he demanded.
A few scientists shuffled about, typing away at the computer. A man with a full white beard looked at Giovanni. "Nothing of consequence yet, sir. However, it must be noted that the red head's Vulpix has evolved. The blonde boy's Beldum also evolved, sir." He stroked his beard and turned his attention toward the screens. "They are fresh evolutions, however, so we needn't fear the chance of Metang evolving again so soon."
Giovanni grimaced. Their Pokemon were evolving, so they were all becoming stronger. This posed a threat to their mission. "Thank you, Dr. Wright," the leader whispered. The man crossed his arms and frowned. Should more of their Pokemon evolve, things could turn out to be a disaster. Giovanni clenched his fingers tightly on his sleeve and clenched his teeth. I won't lose. Not again.

"A PokeDex couldn't hurt," Kasiya replied truthfully. "I don't know what I'd do without mine sometimes. It's safe to say I don't know very much about Hoenn either." She studied the Dustox's entry a little more before closing the device. She didn't now why, but Poison-type Pokemon very much intrigued her. She glanced over at Ariados again and smiled. Maybe someday she would capture one for herself. When the man posed the question, Kasiya shrugged. "I don't really know, Sir," she admitted, but smiled. "Maybe you could just bring us a good selection of stuff and they can all pick and choose for themselves? We'd appreciate it very much," she added, giving a respectful little bow.
"Speaking of which," she added, looking back to Crenu, still wearing that ever unwavering smile of hers, "wanna meet my Pokemon?" Without waiting for an answer she quickly released them in pairs, thankful that none of them were very big. Yet. First, she let out Rosemary and Levi, the latter of the two looking to be in good spirits while Rosemary just looked plain tired. The Bayleef yawned and sat down on the floor, looking around curiously. Next came Ariel and Adamantine. Right away the Vaporeon looked around for Shocker, and very soon the two had taken up a seat and were soon conversing between themselves. Ada looked around with sleepy eyes before seeing her trainer, then trotted over to her and hugged her leg. Kasiya smiled and reached down to pat her Larvitar on the head. Lastly, the baby Charmander, Nova, materialized in Kasiya's lap, just waking up from her nap now. She gave a great big yawn before rubbing her eyes, quickly taking in her surroundings. The smell of food seemed to entice everyone though, as the collective rumbling of tummies could be heard throughout all the Pokemon.
=-=-=-=-=
"No one important," she replied quickly, reaching out to give the Ninetales a quick pat before turning to Riza. "Don't worry about it, that's what I was here for," she said, shrugging her shoulders. "And don't worry about being new to this. You'll learn with time." With that, she inclined her head and excused herself, stepping around trainers as they came in through the door. She let out a sigh as the sun shone down on her once again, and she looked out towards the blue water intently. After gaining her bearings she once again started to walk, looking out for signs of her old friend. "Where are you Amp?" she mumbled aloud, stepping carefully through the sand.

Train stifled a small laugh as she watched Tora rub her stomach, thinking the same thing as M.A.--it looked like to poor thing had gotten fleas or something. Even though the Pokemon looked uncomfortable due to her currently over-sized stomach, it didn't seem like the attack had done a whole lot.
Pikachu hadn't let down his gaurd, however strange and funny the sight of Tora and her bulging stomach were. The Pokemon didn't have enough time to move out of the way, however, as the Phanphy came charging at him and tackled him down. Suprisingly enough, the attack hurt quite a bit. Both trainer and Pokemon could now tell that the little Pokemon was stronger than they'd originally thought, and there was a type disadvantage against them. This was definately not going to be easy.
"Thunder Wave, Pikachu!" Train commanded her Pokemon, in hopes that the attack would go through okay and help them out a bit.
Pikachu regained his footing quickly and sent out a small electric shock at Tora, which would hopefully hit and make it harder for the opposing Pokemon to move.

"Urg Luffy!" Robin groaned as she watched him stumble around, really with an attack that could cause confusion like that the chances that Luffy wouldn't get confused were zero. He might be tougher then most Aipom but damn if status effects didn't hit him every time. "Luffy come on snap out of it! I know you can. Please just go attack that funny looking thing!" Robin urged doing a strange looking dance as she stood there.
It seemed like something got through Luffy's brain and he stopped stumbling and glared right ahead. Attack the strange looking thing? He could do that! That thought firmly set in his mind he dashed forward right past the Mr. Mime and right for the trainer. Sure the other thing was weird but this, THIS was much stranger!
Seeing that the Aipom was going after him instead of his pokemon the Mr. Mime man let out a small squawk and started running. He didn't want to get hit by that pissed off looking Aipom!
"No Luffy no!" Robin cried as she dashed forward onto the field trying to chase him down. However fat Luffy may be he was still pretty fast and Robin wasn't gaining much ground. The more he ran to the more energy he burned off and the less fat he got. The reason he could eat so much so fast was due to his amazing metabolism, he could just eat and eat and eat.
~~~~~~~~~~
Aidan did his best to avoid the pins managing just barely to avoid them all. Most of the needles hit the Bidoof's as well the thick fur holding back most of the damage but that was just the first volley. Blue eyes glanced to the side to see Gible doing her best to keep one away from the other two. It was a good thing that none of Bidoof's attacks could hurt her to much. Deciding she was ok Aidan glanced back just in time to step around a large tree and avoid running into it and the next volley of pins that came through the air. "Keep up the good work you two." He called out as he stepped around the tree to almost trip over one of the Bidoof's.
The normal type pokemon let out a small cry as the large human almost stepped on it. That could have hurt! Growling slightly the beaver like pokemon put his whole weight behind his next tackle hitting the human right in the stomach. Ha! That would show him to try to step on him.
Aidan let out a grunt as all the air was pushed out of him when the Bidoof hit him. Putting a hand over his injured stomach Aidan fell back onto the ground trying to catch his breath. He couldn't help feeling a bit worried when the two Bidoof's that were chasing him approached with grins on there simple faces. That worry grew when they suddenly made a leap at him with clear intent to harm him. They would have made it to if Skorupi didn't cut his Pin Missle attack short and jump in front of them blocking their attack with his body. Both sides fell to the ground the Bidoof's picking themselves up while Skorupi shook himself before getting up as well. They were not going to attack his trainer on his watch!

Karri flashed Mike an understanding smile. "I don't know what I was supposed to be listening to Mike," she replied. And in fact she wasn't listening. She did in fact give Mitsu some privacy from time to time. "I'm not angry with you Mike, calm down." A light musical laugh floated through his mind. Though Mitsu is another story. Dear, why haven't you been yourself lately? By the way, I don't approve for this little confession, she thought to herself with a small huff.
Her lip twitched just slightly. His words slammed into her like a Golem rolling down the hill despite her previous vow to not let it affect her. Mitsu wanted to clutch at her heart. And maybe if she had claws like a Zangoose she could tear out that useless organ. She blinked a few times as Mike spoke. Tears weren't going to fall nor would she let them. She knew it was comming and she knew what would happen. Did it really matter though? Telling him now? He was already madly in love with Flannery and she knew he wouldn't have picked her over the fiery redhead. I guess this solves that "what if" questioning. . . Getting involved with people was exactly what I should have expected it to be, Mitsu thought, hurtful. I was fine by myself why did I bother even making friends? A snarl flashed across her face for a split second before her features returned to thier normal innocent facade.
"You promise I didn't?" she laughed equally as weakly as his. What was the point? And guts? Yeah right, what a load of Tauros. . . When had she ever been brave in her life? And that hug he had pulled her . . .it felt good, but awkward at the same time. Her hands were stuffed into her pockets and he was much bigger than her. She was literally being squashed. She pulled them out returning the hug. It'd probably be the last hug she'd get from him in a while. Her hand began to glow that rosy color once more, but in an unnatural way. It didn't look normal like reddened hands or flushed skin. It was abnormal.
After a few second she pulled away. They were just friend anyways. Mitsu lifted a slender hand and ran it through her hair slowly, a nervous habit that she had recently picked up. Her hands were still flushed a brilliant pink. s**t! she mentally cursed, almost spilling the words out of her mouth. That surely would have made thier awkward even worse. Mitsu wondered if he spied her glowing fingers before she tucked it behind her back. Did he just feel a soothing feeling when her hands were momentarily wrapped around him? Would he question it?
. . .He felt sick. Oh, how she wished she could just cup his cheek with her hands and heal the sickness away. Mike would have felt better and she would have as well . . NO! She had to stop thinking like that. They were just friends and they would always be 'just friends.' And there was nothing she could do to change that. "Anyways, I'm sorry for making today . . .awkward," she apologized anyways though it was one of the last things he probably wanted to hear. "We'll still be friends though, right?" she laughed a bit softly. She paused for a moment, not waiting for his answer, fearing it may have been a negative. "How about we forget this whole thing?" Mitsu suggested with another light laugh, "And just enjoy the beach party like we're supposed to?" The few past agonizing moments already willing themselves into the recesses of her mind. Sometimes being a freak wasn't so bad, afterall it meant getting rid of pain easily. Haha, I could be even colder and meaner than Giovanni if I wanted to with this power. She mentally smiled, just a smidge, at the thought of having that kind of power. The allure of that sense of authority and power was almost overwhelming. . . She snapped back into reality waiting for Mike's reply. She gave him a small smile.

Of course it didn't take her long. She had plenty of practice with putting the outfit on, plus she didn't take the extra time to fiddle with her hair or anything. Kirsa complied and linked her arms with the taller girl then began to steer them toward the market area. What exactly they were shopping for was a mystery, but it seemed like a good place to start. She was certain that if Sasha saw something of interest she would drag Kirsa that way, so there really wasn't anything to worry about.

Riza got the distinct impression that the woman was lying as she waved goodbye, but she figured that questioning it wouldn't help. Everyone had their secrets and Riza had always thought that they were called secrets for a reason. She closed her eyes and stood up, careful to keep her robe in check. "I'm going to check on my clothes," she said, more to herself than Keegan. She drew her robe around her a little more, finding that she was actually feeling quite chilly. She shivered and cast a cold glare towards the air conditioner. Cranked up too high, and wasting energy at that.
The washer was long finished, and she quickly pulled her swimsuit and skirt out and shook them out a bit. She didn't want to put either in the dryer so she carried them back out to the lobby and approached Keegan. "Do you think there's anywhere outside to hang these? They could get damaged in the dryer," she said, sitting back down in the same chair as before.

Keegan raised an eyebrow, but said nothing as the woman walked away. There was definitely something about her, although he couldn't quite pick what it was. He nodded at Riza as she went off to the laundry room, using all his willpower to look the other way. Helios, however, watched the raven-haired girl walk away, a glimpse of playful intrigue visible in his now-crimson eyes. The Ninetales couldn't help but wonder if Keegan was aware of the fact that Riza liked him, and he yawned a bit before resting his head on his trainer's lap. For some reason he was feeling quite tired and he wanted nothing more than to rest inside his Pokeball for a while. Sensing this, Keegan gave him one final pat before doing just that, still feeling a strange mixture of elation and queasiness now that Helios had evolved.
When Riza got back, Keegan sighed at her question. "Yeah, probably," he answered, standing up and grabbing the wet laundry from her hands. "I suppose you want me to find a place to hang it up?" Without waiting for a response he went outside, finding an abandoned bench nearby. He draped each item over the back of it, deciding he would wait out here until they were done. He knew perfectly well that Riza liked him, and as guilty as it made him feel by admitting it, he couldn't stop himself from liking her too.

Now, Tora's mine flashbacked to the very last time she had been hit by lightning, and that lightning had been from the sky... If memory served correctly, if fizzled funny but when straight to the ground. Might have killed a few brain cells on the way, but she couldn't tell. And so, with a sort of simple-minded confidence, she watched the attack and took it straight on, feeling that fuzziness again --
But wait a second, the weird tickly feeling was stuck in her, and try as she might to look accusingly down at the ground for not taking care of business, she found that her body was simply not listening to whatever brains she had. If she did, however, she nevertheless wouldn't have understood that the shifting sand beneath her feet was not a very good conductor.
M.A. sighed, watching the static roll around her Phanpy. That couldn't be good for the digestive system. "Maybe try Rollout now?" she asked hopefully, wondering if the elephant could pull some momentum together to overcome her inability to move. All Tora managed to do was dump her head into the sand, creating an incomplete Defense Curl that budged as much as a truck stuck in mud.
------
Meanwhile, Ulani floated peacefully above the heads of all the trainers, watching the bodies glisten with cancer-inducing tanning oils and wondering how in the world they got so shiny. It wasn't the kind of shiny she liked though, and combined with the glaring sun reflecting off the waves and sand, the bird suddenly felt a bit blinded, seeing nothing but spots. Confused, she ducked down, crashing into something semi-hard and something semi-soft. To clear away the spinning sunspots on the back of her eyelids, the bird shook her head furiously until the world came back to her as clear as it was before.
A grunt beneath her alerted the bird that she was, indeed, sitting on someone. To be polite, the bird hopped off, now curiously blinking at her landing pad -- it was a Pokemon, yes, but she'd never seen one like this before. It had a funny, pointy hat, a tail dripping with some colored liquid, and starry eyes. Oh, no, the stars were gone now; they must've been from their crash.
The Pokemon sighed, lifting himself back up and looking dismally at the painters' board broken in half beneath him. It had been a abstract, strange little sketch of the beach, nearly completed. Not even bothering to look up at the Swablu, he dejectedly picked up the pieces of the wood and began to waddle off.
Feeling a tinge of remorse, now, for causing this misery, Ulani chirped a hesitant apology, stopping the wayward Pokemon in his tracks. He turned around very slowly, revealing heart-infested eyes. What a voice! And take a gander at the beauty who possessed this voice! Look at this muse, right before him, that he had nearly walked away from! In the Pokemon's eyes, this Swablu was glistening like a gem in the sun, with a voice so bittersweet that he doubted he could capture on a medium -- but oh, how he wanted to try!
With surprising speed, he was right before Ulani, propped on one knee and professing his undying love, his tail painting hearts into the sky that floated about them like fireflies.

The way that Kasiya kept eying his Ariados was a tad unsettling at first, but her smile assured him that she was just curiously enjoying the Long Leg Pokemon. He didn't blame her for being intrigued, after all even he had to admit that Ariados was a beautiful specimen. The vibrant color patters that are common in poison types, the menacing look that she portrayed, there was nothing else like it. Poison types pokemon where a thing of wonder, definitely one of his favorite types. The only other type it was safe to say that he admired were ice types, cold and disabling frost was just as appealing to him as slow devastating poison. Two types who's strength lied in indirectly slowing down and weakening their opponents until they are brought down to their knees. Perfect. He began to wonder why he didn't surround himself with more pokemon of those types. "Heh, Hoenn aught to have some interesting poison types to capture..." He said mostly to himself, forgetting that he was in a conversation with Kasiya for a moment as the old man came back and asked about the food for the pokemon.
"Hmm, a little bit of everything is it? Hope you're pokemon aren't big eaters." The man said laughing as he went into the back. He was half serious, but he did love cooking for people who enjoyed his food.
Crenu swallowed a few Dumplings as Kasiya asked her question about her pokemon. He didn't get a chance to answer though, she seemed intent on showing him regardless. It wasn't unwelcome though, he was curious to see what other pokemon she had. The Marshtomp and Bayleef he already knew from the earlier battle, and her Bayleef still looked to be recovering. The next two were a surprise however, a Vaporeon was something rare to see, it's odd nature and appearance was almost mystical. But even more surprising was her Larvitar. That was also a rare pokemon even in Johto, he never imagined a girl from Kanto to have one. And finally was her Charmander, a baby by the looks of it. What the heck was going on here, what was with all these rare pokemon? There was more to Kasiya than he had originally thought, things were getting more interesting by the moment. He assumed that a little professional courtesy was expected, so Crenu let out his pokemon as well. First Larvitar and Poliwag materialized from their pokeballs, both looking very worn from the battle. Poliwag was panting and sat down, Larvitar on the other hand was standing strong clutching his limp left arm with his right hand and trying to look as unwavering as his trainer. Ariados was already out and still hanging around Crenu content to just be near him and the final pokemon to materialize was Hitmonlee. He looked a bit annoyed with Crenu, well aware that a battle went on without him. He turned his back on the group and instead practiced on his kicking. But he didn't stray to far from them, and was still applying Crenu's tips in his practice.

Train stifled a small laugh as Tora merely fell forward a bit, the sight quite odd to her. She turned it into a slightly embarrassed cough, then debated what to do next. She wanted an offensive move next, and Thundershock probably wouldn't do much at all.
"Pikachu, use Quick Attack again!" She commanded her Pokemon, who responded immediatly by darting forward and seeming to become a blur again, then appearing next to the Paralyzed Phanphy and knocking into the Pokemon before returning to his spot in front of his trainer.
Things were looking pretty good for now, but Train couldn't keep having Pikachu use Quick Attack the whole time, especially if the Paralyses became less effective. She probably wouldn't be able to use Pikachu the whole time. Maybe she could train Oddish a bit...

Shelgon noticed right away that Tropius wasn't a particularly fast Pokemon, and while she wasn't exactly speedy herself, the use of her Dragon Dance gave her enough of a boost to get out of the way of the oncoming Pokemon. Tropius landed with a loud 'thud' in the sand nearby, instantly craning its neck to shoot a glare at Shelgon. The dragon just smirked right back, the expression hidden by the confines of her thick, protective shell. The smirk was short-lived, however, as Janice quickly called out to her Tropius again. "Give that dragon a Magical Leaf!" she yelled sharply. A deep groaning-like sound emanated from the Tropius' throat as it raised up its wings and gave them a quick flap, shooting out a volley of glowing green leaves at Shelgon.
"Try to block that with a Dragonbreath!" Jaeshan countered. Shelgon took a deep breath before expelling bluish flames towards the oncoming leaves. This particular Dragonbreath was stronger than any Jaeshan had ever seen from Shelgon before, and it did indeed help to slow down the incoming leaves. They still struck her, but she shrugged it off, mostly due to her being resistant to Grass-type attacks. The power of her Dragonbreath pushed through as well, striking the Tropius for moderate damage.
Loudred and Metang, meanwhile, were still in a deadlock, each pushing against the other trying to gain the upper hand, and neither willing to back down first lest the other take advantage of it.
=-=-=-=-=
Kasiya instantly reached for her PokeDex again when she saw Hitmonlee. Now she'd seen and even battled Hitmonlee before, but it never hurt to brush up on a Pokemon's information now and then. She sensed Crenu's intrigue over her Pokemon, and looked over her crew carefully, realizing only then that the only one of the six of them that she'd actually captured had been Shocker. Other than her Larvitar, which had been won during the Cherry Blossom Festival, the other four had all been given to her. She shrugged though - what did it matter how she got them? All she knew was that she loved each of them dearly and would do anything for them, and they felt the same way about her.
Kasiya looked over Crenu's Pokemon, glad to see that Poliwag looked to be all right after the battle. His Larvitar was another story, as she could see how much the Rock-type was hurting even though he tried to hide it. She could see that Rosemary was still quite tired too, and she sorted through her bag and pulled out two Potions, setting one on the table and nodding at Crenu. "For Larvitar," she said. "He looks pretty sore, it might help take the edge off." With some difficulty, she climbed down out of her chair, setting Nova on the floor beside her. The Charmander squealed with delight and began to run around, though she never strayed more than ten feet from Kasiya's side. Kasiya beckoned to Rosemary and the Bayleef trotted over to her, closing her eyes as Kasiya applied the potion to help heal her wounds and restore her energy.
