When Luffy stopped rolling he pushed himself up from the ground. His purple fur was covered in grass and dirt. Pushing himself up Luffy glared at the Linoone across from him. Using his tail Luffy adjusted Hat on top of his head pushing it forward so it rested there securely. The little Aipom was upset, that stupid pokemon had knocked those delicious seeds out of his hands! He was hungry and his seeds were now gone! Growling slightly Luffy started to attack, he would get revenge for his seeds! With a swirl of his tail a burst of stars came out in a dazzling Swift attack. The Aipom wasn't finished yet though, using the momentum of his swinging tail he launched himself forward running among the Swift stars he had just released. For the seeds!
The Linoone had never seen an attack quite like this, it had seen a Swift before but never one quite like this. While he couldn't avoid the stars he could probably avoid the Aipom. Moving his body the long and limber pokemon moved over to the side. The Linoone ignored the pain of the glowing stars and did its best to avoid the furious attacking Aipom. He had no idea that this would be the reaction to loosing those seeds. After the first initial miss the Aipom didn't stop and continued moving forward in a flurry of kicks, tail punches and claws. He would never win like this, dodging was never a good way to win. The Linoone skidded to a halt taking a few of the surprisingly strong blows before launching himself forward. He was surprised when the Aipom dodged the attack going from attacking to defense with fluid ease. Still he didn't let it put him off, and instead of doing any damage he snatched Hat off of Luffy's head.
Luffy smirked a bit as he dodged the attack, he was really on his A-game today. That smirk didn't last long though as he felt string that held Hat to his head snap. He blinked a few times, and using his tail hand he reached up and felt the top of his head, yup Hat was missing. Looking back Luffy saw that Hat was indeed in the other pokemons mouth. No one took Hat from him without his permission. Growling Luffy dashed forward again this time fueled with a rage that would not quench itself until Hat was back on his head.
Robin was soothing the poor knocked out Hoppip in her arms as she watched Luffy enact his revenge on the Linoone. The poor thing didn't stand a chance, honestly Robin had no idea where the Aipom got this strength. Really she wondered why he never was like this in any of his other battles unless Hat was taken. The rest of the battle was short lived and Robin watched as Luffy knocked the other pokemon off the path and into the water.

Alice snuggled under her covers, all thoughts of who's DNA she was laying in went out the window as the soft bed caressed her. Maybe this isn't so bad after all.... She could hear Kadaj's soft breathing as he slept next to her. It reminded her of the sounds she heard on the ranch. Some weren't so calming, nothing was more horrifying than hearing a Wailord snoring at night.
She heard the bathroom door open and saw Aidan walk out. Those are a lot of scars.... He was more fascinated than put off. She then pulled up her arm to her face and traced the diagonal scar on her her forearm. Disasters in costume design..... The embarrassing thought was interrupted by the quiet conversation. She looked over as Aidan crawled into bed with Jun and how happy Jun was. Then it hit her.
".... he he he!"

"Dammit!" he roared, "Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!" he fell to his knees in the grass, blood dripping freely from his hands. His entire body was finally hurting from the beating he had taken from that Rocket grunt. If it hadn't been for Mazarin, he'd probably had taken a beating so severe that it would have knocked him unconscious. Kilik's nails dug and clutched some grass and he let out a scream of pain. The dirt got into his cuts. He felt the blood ooze down the side of his face, like someone had turned on a faucet in his head.
"Giovanni!" he cried weakly, "You...dirty! You played dirty!" he pounded his fists into the ground, leaving small dips. "Our past shouldn't be used against us! The past isn't a weapon, dammit!" His tears mixed with the blood now, stinging the cuts on his face even more. When Kilik tried to stand back up, a shot of pain went through his body and he instantly fell back down, onto his back, causing him to scream in agony: that's where most of the damage had been done.
He looked up at the sky, which was becoming blurry through his tears. A faint red tint went over it as well. Then he heard his name. "M...Mit..." he whispered. He arched a bit and called out for help. "Please! Find me!" his voice broke through the tears; the pain was too great. "Help me, please...a-anybody...!" he lifted a hand up to the sky, his fingers shaking. Kilik's eyes looked right at his hand, his heart racing in his chest. "Help me...someone...I know you're there..." Tears streamed freely down his face, unrestrained, as he lay beaten in the grass.

Mai clicked her tongue as she watched the two Lavaridge boys facing off, and she chuckled a bit, looking down at Kasiya. "Boy, you sure know how to stir up the boys," she said, yanking the girl up by the hair so she could look at the two of them. "You can't tell me that this isn't just how you envisioned it, can you? The two of them, fighting over you, just like this. Admit it, you love it. Every dirty little second of it." Though Mai knew perfectly well that none of the things she'd said had any inkling of truth behind them, she found herself humming a melodic victory tune as she let her sister fall freely against the pavement again, never realizing just how much fun it was to destroy not only the young girl's life, but her hopes and optimisms as well. Mai knelt down beside Kasiya again, and smiled. She leaned in close, her voice toned down to a hushed whisper. "Don't worry. From what I've seen, you can claw your way back from anything. But just remember this, sweetie: As soon as you do, I'll be there to kick you back down." She released her hold on the girl, chuckling with amusement as she immediately tried to scramble away. "Mmmm?" the Admin murmured, smiling as she looked down at the ground. "Well, well. What have we here," she said in a singsong voice, having recalled her Flygon. "Looks like you lost something, Kassie," she called out, already having taken her position on the platform next to her boss as she held up her new prize. "Finders, keepers," she said simply, laughing as the hatch closed tightly and the helicopter was off. "Indeed," she said, in reply to Giovanni as she took a seat as well, unable to remove the smile from her face. Mission accomplished.
Through bleary, tear-filled eyes Kasiya watched the two boys as they exchanged words, though she couldn't really make out what was being said until Keegan looked in her direction. "No..." she whimpered, another wave of tears beginning to fall. "It's not like that... not at all..." She knew in her heart that none of these things were true, but as she looked at her friends, watching some of them walking away, others losing their minds or just plain hating her, she couldn't help but realize that none of them knew it at all. "She's lying," she whispered, feeling as though every ounce of good and optimism had been crushed out of her. When Mai let go of her she attempted to glare at her elder sister, although it came out as more of a blank, blood-and-tear soaked stare. The fact that Mai was loving every minute of this was killing her inside, and she tried desperately to ignore the Rocket Admin's words though somehow she knew they'd haunt her.
After scrambling back to safety, Kasiya had somehow pulled herself into a standing position, her useless right arm dangling limply at her side when she heard Mai's voice call out to her one last time. She couldn't understand what else she could have possibly lost today and she absentmindedly grasped at the lightning-shaped pendant around her neck - it was still there, somehow - and only as the helicopter retreated into the sky did she understand just what Mai had meant. "Wait... no!" she cried, her good arm desperately checking the Pokeballs normally attached firmly to her belt. An overwhelming feeling of loss came over when she realized that only five of six remained, and she knew at once which one was missing. "No...!" she sobbed, dropping heavily to her knees, staring up at the shrinking, black dot in the horizon. "Shocker! No! Bring her back! She took Shocker!" she wailed, the last few words slurred together into one as she cried, curling into a little ball on the ground, her body wracked with painful sobs. She faintly heard someone speaking to her and she slowly calmed her cries, looking up to see who it was.
"Serenity..." she murmured, wiping her eyes for the umpteenth time that day, though she somehow forced out yet another one of her undying smiles. "I think I'm okay," she said, nodding slowly, her voice even managing to sound somewhat believable. She tried to flex her arm a little and she winced quite obviously from the pain and she knew that was enough to end her simple facade of nothing being wrong. She gave a half shrug and allowed Sere to help her up, her gaze once again falling on the two boys. She knew what Sere was saying was completely true, that she couldn't protect him from the guilt, but at the very least, she could be there for him, like a real friend would.

OhgodOhgodOhgod. Mitsu's mind went racing and fear stung her as the pained cries from the boy filled her ears. It was strange, now when the need was so great that she should be one with the strength. Fate was cruel. But now was not the time to think about that! She scrambled desperately following the last traces of his voice. Bursting through some brush she quickly spotted Kilik a bit off the path, laying on the grass, staining the green blades a crimson red.
Mitsu sank to her knees, breathing deeply in and out. Her head began to hurt and breathing felt like a Syther repeatedly stabbing her in the ribs. "Kilik," Mitsu whispered in a half choking cough. She was still out of breath. But Kilik needed help more than she did. She coughed, sucking in the much needed oxygen. "We need to get you treated," she said as calmly as possible. Her voice, however, betrayed her as it cracked. The bloody sight of her friend was too much. After all of this, after Giovanni had left, she still had to see this. "I'll do the best that I can for now."
She closed her eyes breathing in deeply. A warm faint glow took form around her palms. The process had been slower than when she had healed Keegan. But it got there. She took another breath before placing her hands onto his chest. The bright red of the blood was a stark contrast to the soft, green glow of her hands. Mitsu could feel her body weakening as her precious engery forced it's way onto Kilik's body repairing the damage that it could.
It felt like an eternity before she could yank her hands back. The boy looked a bit better, but still like a heaping mess. "Let's. . .let's get to the C-center," she said as evely as she could manage. her vison began to blur and she felt lightheaded. "Kaaaaaaaarrrrrriiiii. C-center, p-p-pleeeease. . ." she managed to say before letting the Gardevior loose. She really wished she could rest, she was tired, and drifting off into an eternal slumber wold feel nice. Her eyes sank and her breathing stopped before a "ZHOOM!" feeling pulled her back.
The bloody teenagers and the elegant Gardevior had made it to the Pokemon Center at Slateport in a quick flash. Thetrip was short and relatively painless and swift. "Nurse, we need immediate attention for this boy," Karri spoke pulling the pink haired Nurse Joy aside to tend to Kilik's wounds.

He watched Mitsu as she worked. His hand weakly gripped her wrist, his eyes locking onto hers. From the glow on her hands, he knew exactly what was coming. It was a glow similar to when a Pokemon would use Recover. Kilik gulped, keeping the tears back, "S-stop it. Don't..." his hand shook against her arm, "I...Mitsu...!" He shut his eyes tightly, using his remaining strength to pull her hands off of him.
Life is like a game, son. Play by the rules and you won't always win. You have to make your own rules to come out on top. It's a gamble. It's a gamble. Know when you have to stop in that gamble.
"Dad...?" When he opened his eyes, he was in the Pokemon Center, hooked up to a slew of machines. His bloody clothes were piled in the corner and he was laying on the stretcher in his swim trunks. From his right side all the way around his back was a disgusting purple color, the bruise taking up most of his chest cavity. He had bandages wrapped around his arms and head. His hands were wrapped as well. Kilik tried to sit up, but it hurt way too much. He turned his head to see his father and mother in the room. But where was Janie? Off playing, it appeared.
"What is it son!?" Joe stood up suddenly, the chair he was sitting in toppling over. Seeing his son in this condition destroyed him, but he couldn't show it. His wife was crushed and her tears kept her from saying anything. "What is it, my boy?" He gently placed his hand on Kilik's arm.
"What?" the boy whispered, "You were the one talking. Gamble?" Joe raised an eyebrow and looked over at his wife. "I think you need more sleep...go on, son. I will come back soon, but I'll be taking your mother and sister home now. See you soon." Kilik closed his eyes and heard the door shut behind his parents' exit.
"MITSU!" he cried out, sitting up suddenly an undisclosed amount of time later. The pain that surged through his body made him yell out. The Nurse rushed in and scolded him for moving so much so soon. "No!" he barked, "Get Mitsu in here! Where is Mitsu!?" The tears practically exploded down his face. "I saw what she was doing! I need to know if she's okay! She was just as bad off as me!" Kilik went to move then thrashed in the bed, yelling in agony. It hurt too much. The tears streamed down the side of his head, into his ear. "Where is she...." he cried, "Mitsu...." he slammed his eyes shut.

"Mmm," Mitsu mumbled as the voice of the nurse floated into her room. She didn't have the strength to move just yet and she was just so tired. So very. . .tired. . ."Ah, ah, ah," Nurse Joy called out, pushing the girl's shoulders a bit. "You can't sleep yet, you're not stable."
"Fiiiine. But I'm. . .not. . opening my. .eyes." Mitsu was in a wheel chair, luckly she didn't have to be taped down to a bed. Her condition wasn't too bad that's what she had been told, but she remembered slipping. I wonder if I could have come back from that place. . It was nice. . The squeaks of the wheelchair filled the hallway that she was presumably travelling down. She wanted to know where she was being taken. But her eye lids felt so heavy and she just didn't want to bother to ask.
The sound of her name. Who would be calling her name? "Here she is," Nurse Joy said, "now stop thrashing and rest!" Her voice was sharp yet filled with a sense for care, perfect for the job. She closed the door softly as she exited. Well, obviously, Mitsu wasn't the one thrashing around. So who could it be? She wanted to open her eyes, but they still felt heavy. "I'm tired," she whispered, mostly to herself.

Kilik looked over and reached out, grabbing Mitsu's hands. "Don't do that anymore," he said, "You don't have the strength to do that. Don't do that," he pleaded, "You need to get stronger before you do that again." He held her hands rather tightly, then slowly let go. "You saved my life. Without you, I..." he put his hand back to his side, looking out the window. He didn't want to admit that he may have died out there. Yet if he had, at least he would have died alone. He didn't want anyone to see him like this; at least it was only people he considered close to him.
Then again, Mitsu wasn't that close to him. But she was still...still willing to save my life. He sighed heavily. It hurt to breathe, too. Of all the people who saw what happened to me, who heard what Giovanni said...Mitsu was the only one willing to stand by me. Everyone else was too busy with their own agendas! To save their own skin! His hand clenched tightly on his blanket, his entire arm shaking.
"Mitsu," Kilik said simply, "Thank you." He turned his head back to her, locking his eyes with hers. "Without you, I would have died. You did more for me than you really think." A shaking hand reached out to hers, taking and holding onto both. "Thank you."

Mitsu's face fell as he spoke, her eyes still closed. "I don't know how," she replied simply. A pause. "But if it will make you feel better then I will not." She breathed in deeply a few times, not quiet sure if she was nodding off. Nurse Joy had warned her about sleeping, she she'd better heed that warning. She rubbed her eyes, slowly opening them. They were bloodshot. A few blinks allowed a few tears to fall. It hurt.
To say the cliche that she felt a jolt when Kilik held her hands would be nothing short of the truth. It felt warm, and well, pleasant. She hadn't known Kilik that well beforehand, and it was a shame. Mitsu smiled as he spoke. To have said, "Psh-shaw! It was nothing!" would have been an insult to the both of them. "You're welcome, Kilik," she replied, not too sure what else to say.
The girl made no move to take her hand back. It did feel nice. Her breathing was becoming a bit more even. She was feeling better, but she wasn't sure if the same could be said abou Kilik. "So," she said, striking up some chitchat avoiding the awkward subject of the horrible Rocket event, "going to Sinnoh?"

"Sabrina? You still with us?" Whitney asked, turning her head and looking over her shoulder at the girl, who evidently had a rather vacant look on her face. "Huh? What?" she asked, sniffling quickly. "Well, you got really quiet all of a sudden and you didn't say anything for a few minutes. We didn't know if something was wrong or not." Was she really out of it for that long? And yes, something might be wrong-- why did she suddenly get such a dangerous vibe from Mike? His energy was extremely choppy, whereas it normally flowed like a river with no interruptions. She didn't even have a clue where he was, yet she was still able to pick up on it; that certainly couldn't be a very good sign.
"Oh no," she replied, "everything's fine. I didn't mean to space on you guys." She didn't want to lie to them, but she couldn't very well tell them about something that she was more than likely just overanalyzing. Yeah, that's it. She was just being silly. She couldn't concern herself with the matter, as they had more pressing ones to attend to.
Some time later on, Rio touched down in Goldenrod, letting the Trainers off of his back. He ran around jubilantly, its heads squawking, seeming to be having some sort of conversation amongst themselves. Mihoshi, who was transporting Nina, joined the others a few moments later, dropping off her Trainer with them. It wasn't really fair to say that she could Fly, per se, as her wings didn't move when she flew. Instead, she more or less had the ability to float, and as a result, it was difficult for her to really get tired. She floated over to Rio, the two-- or, as Whitney would argue, the four-- of them conversing.
"I don't know why Nina made me carry her here," Mihoshi said, rather baffled. "After all, isn't Krystal the one she always uses for transport? I mean, that's the reason she put me away-- because she found a more effective mode of transport."
"Nina replaced you for Krystal?" Sorrow Rio asked. "Doesn't that upset you?"
"Why should that upset her?" Joy Rio asked. "And besides, it's not quite replacement; it's just Nina adding to her Pokemon family and wanting to spread the love around."
"Spread the love?" Rage Rio asked. "Shut up, you hippie. And you, stop being such a depressor." Rage Rio bit at Sorrow Rio's neck. "Mihoshi, don't read into it as much as these two fools. You're here now and that's all that matters."
"Yeah, you're right. Nina needs me. I need to help her get Anna back."
"Hey, you lollygaggers! We're going in the Gym now; come on back!" Nina and Whitney held up their Pokeballs, recalling their respective Pokemon, adjourning to the Gym.
"Now, you're sure that we're totally safe here?" Nina asked, looking to the other girls as they went inside. "Nina, safety isn't even an issue here," Whitney replied; "it's logical. Not only does Phoenix not know who I am, but Sabrina's been emitting her psychic energy to help disguise her. Furthermore, Maorde believes you to still be at the Elite Four, where even he wouldn't dare to tread, and he still thinks that I'm off looking for Anna. This is the safest place for any of us to be right now." Feeling reassured, the girl smiled a little bit. "Good. I was just making sure." She paused for a moment. "So, Sabrina. You'd said that you spent a rather extended period of time with Maorde; whereabouts was he when you were with him?" The girl had trouble remembering for a moment. "It was in... Silver Cave, I believe," she replied. "His logic was that since that area had such powerful Pokemon, if he trained his understudies there, they'd have no choice but to be strong if they wanted their Pokemon to survive." Nina looked a little confused. "He trained everyone in there?" she asked. "How would it even be possible for them to stay in there? It's entirely full of wild Pokemon; it's not like he would've had anywhere safe to stay." Sabrina grinned, and shook her head a little. "Not true. In the deepest part of the cave, he had his own safe haven built; it was almost like a miniature Gym. It had everything inside of it that you would need to survive. By day, he and I would either have a verbal lesson for the girls, or take them out for physical Pokemon training-- sometimes both. And by night, we'd adjourn back to our shelter and sleep. That was our routine every single day." It was Whitney's turn to be confused. "How would you all know when it was day and night? It's not like a cave gets any lighter or darker." She grinned, while Sabrina shot her a dark look. "You're funny."
Whitney said something in response, but Sabrina felt a ringing filling her ears. It was happening again. Her heart felt as though someone was clenching it in their fist. She felt pain.
...Mitsu?
Kasiya?
Kilik?
...What in the hell is going on...?

...a.
...ina.
..."Sabrina!"
Startled, the psychic jumped a bit. Why was she feeling so much pain all of a sudden? "Huh? What?" she asked, a bit of a slur to her voice. Nina tilted her head a little, her mouth slightly ajar, her brow furrowed. "Sabrina... Whitney and I have been trying to get your attention for at least five minutes now. She pinched you for a minute straight and you didn't even twitch in response." She looked scared. "Are you okay? Like, seriously, are you okay?" Sabrina sighed. "Yes, I am. I didn't mean to scare you two, but..." She didn't want to tell them. They had to put forth a hundred percent of their energy into finding Maorde. "I had a vision," she lied. "Unfortunately," she continued, before the others could ask, "it's not pertinent to our matter." Nina had a feeling her sister wasn't being truthful, but didn't pursue it. "So, do you think that Maorde would still be in the same place as he was when you last saw him?" Sabrina shrugged. "Dunno; it's hard to say. Even when I first got there, when I was first helping out, he had plans to move to a new place. Who's to say he's not already moved out of Silver Cave, into his new area, and out of that one by now?"
That was discouraging, but extremely possible. Nina thought of suggesting that they all split up to look for Maorde, as they'd be able to cover more ground and much more quickly, but she quickly shot that idea down. They had to stay together, for their own safety. "This is typical, isn't it?" she asked. "The one time that we need to locate him, we're having difficulty in doing so. Yet, any other time, we'd be off minding our own business, and we'd get attacked out of the blue." Whitney shook her head a little. "It wasn't necessarily 'out of the blue', Nina, remember? Raimundo was feeding him information the entire time." Sabrina felt as though someone had punched her straight in the stomach. "Raimundo?" she repeated, her eyes getting huge. "That boy that Nina liked? What are you talking about?" Whitney looked a little confused. "Raimundo never showed up to report anything in to Maorde when you were with him?" After Sabrina shook her head, she asked what was going on. And so, Whitney and Nina explained everything to her-- how they had traveled with Raimundo for an extended period of time, and in the end, it was him who was informing Maorde of all their actions, and him who essentially got Anna captured.
Sabrina was incredulous, and infuriated. "That little scumbag," she said, through grit teeth; "if I come across him, he's going to be the first to go." Nina refused. "Maorde first," she said. "And if we have time, then Raimundo."

Keegan had a quick glance around and seemingly everyone had left, and the only ones who remained besides himself were Mike, Kasiya, and some blonde-haired chick that looked kind of familiar. Kilik and Mitsu were gone, and even Team Rocket had taken off after successfully sowing the seeds of destruction. On some level, Keegan knew that it was all it had been; Team Rocket's plans to split the group of friends up and sever their friendships. But even with this knowledge, Keegan couldn't ignore the hurtful words coming from his former friend. He could feel his blood begin to boil again and every inch of his body was telling him him to let it go. His pride, however, was doing just the opposite and even though he knew he was far too weak to be trying to start something with Mike right now he'd just had enough. He wasn't this horrible, unlikable person that Mike was making him out to be, that was in the past. He was changing, becoming a better person, and even making new friends. Yet his oldest and most trusted friend was right there, in front of him, shooting him down, breaking his confidence. It was just like old times.
Before he could stop himself, he'd moved forward rather quickly, fully intent on breaking Mike's face to go along with the rest of the boy's broken theme. He'd managed to get in one good swing before his equilibrium failed him, and all at once he knew this wasn't going to end gracefully.
=====
Miharu looked on in shock as now Lily and the Misdreavus seemed to both be hurting equally, and even though she was very curious to know just what that move had done, she refrained from pulling out her PokeDex to check. Her previous Leech Seed was still working in her favour, however, and Lily looked a bit relieved as she sapped a bit of health from the ghost. "Giga Drain again," Miharu commanded, pointing at the Misdreavus. If that was how Morty was going to play this game, then she'd just have to have Lily take back every ounce of health she could.
The Bulbasaur's vines snaked out and wrapped themselves around the ghost's light, airy body, both Pokemon glowing bright green as the grass-type sapped away at the Misdreavus' health.
Morty knew that even with the use of Pain Split it would be difficult for Misdreavus to come out of this one the winner. That Bulbasaur is tough, it must be well past the point where it could evolve into Ivysaur, he thought, looking at the green-haired girl, and cracking an actual, genuine smile. He somehow knew that today, he'd be parting with a Fog Badge, though rightfully so. "Psybeam," he commanded, adopting his cool, calm demeanor once again.
Misdreavus let out a cry before she became intangible, escaping the Bulbasaur's obtrusive vines. Her pearls shine brightly once more and a multi-coloured beam was fired towards the grass type.

"Anyway, I feel like we're getting sidetracked," Nina commented, Raimundo not having entered her mind in quite some time. "Sabrina, you said that you became Maorde's most trusted confidante. Did he ever indicate to you where he may be headed next? Or, did he even tell you about places he'd been to in the past?" The elder psychic thought for a minute. "He did mention something about him previously being in the Pokemon Mansion, and Tohjo Falls before that. As far as where he was going next... damn it, where was it. Cerulean Cave, I believe." Nina contemplated for a moment. "What's the common factor between those places? They all reside in or near Kanto, that's obvious, but..." It grew quiet.
"I've got it!" Whitney chirped. "The Pokemon! The Pokemon in each location become progressively stronger! And in Kanto, Cerulean Cave has the most powerful wild Pokemon in the region! So, it only makes sense that that's where he would go, especially if he wants his understudies to become as strong as they can. Then when he's done with that area, it's likely he'll move here to Johto, to find even stronger Pokemon, and then to Hoenn." Sabrina looked rather impressed. "Good logistics, Whitney," she commented, smiling a bit. "If that really is the case, then we'd better hustle on back to Kanto and get into that cave. Knowing Maorde's predictable nature, he'll be in the deepest part, so we already know where we need to go." Nina's eye twitched a little. "You mean, we need to Fly back?" she asked. "Do we have time enough to waste doing that?" Sabrina shook her head. "No, we do not," she replied. "That's why we're going to use a much faster means of transportation." Reaching for the Pokemon at her belt-- which was full, for the first time in a long time-- she snatched up Oracle's ball, releasing him.
"Ah, Sabrina, what seems to..." The Pokemon paused for a moment, as he turned his head, looking to Nina. He smiled. "Miss Nina, I am glad to see you out and about again." She smiled a bit as well, commenting that it was good to be back. "Now, what seems to be the matter, Sabrina?" The psychic gave her Pokemon a rundown of their situation. "I've not personally been inside of the cave, therefore I can't ask you to Teleport us inside of it directly. Instead, would you mind taking us to Cerulean? We'll walk from there." Oracle replied that it wouldn't be a problem. "Everyone, if you will kindly join hands..." Holding his out, Sabrina took his right hand, Whitney took his left, and Nina took Sabrina's and Whitney's free hands.
They all closed their eyes, and within moments, teleported to the adjacent region.

Sere heard Kasiya say that she was fine but to be honest the girl looked like crap. She had blood down the front of her, her arm was in a very awkward position, and her face was litterally covered in dirt. She helped the girl to her feet. Kasiya was still staring off in the direction of the two boys and Serenity had, had quite enough of all of that. She had her own opinions on the things that were going on, but right now she wanted to sleep. She was exhausted. So was everyone else judging by the way that Keegan threw that much deserved punch at Mike, only to swing and miss completely, much to Sere's disapointment. 'I really wish that he would have knocked the block off that boys head. Save me the trouble.'
Serenity wondered where on earth Kilik had gone to. She thought she had seen them take off down a trail some where but she had lost site of him completely. Once the Rockets had left the crowd in the area had thinned out quite a bit, and Sere was quite glad. Although the Rockets had kept her focused on other things, the instant release of some of her anxiety went when the crowd did. Now insted she was left with the overly nagging feeling of rage and dispair. Although the rage was strong enough to get her to pull through the rest of the day. Keep her moving.
"We need to get your shoulder put back in place. It'll feel better, then you can do what ever you wish to do about Mike and the red head." She said to Kasiya her tone a little harsher than she meant it to be.

"It's not that bad, really," Kasiya lied, more because she knew what kind of pain was involved when a dislocated something was shoved back into place. Her dad had once fallen off the roof of the Vermilion gym trying to repair his electrical display and knocked his shoulder out of place, and even Lt Surge, the strongest man she'd ever known had cried out from the pain of having it popped back into place. Her fingers traced over the empty slot on her belt and that sickening rush overcame her again, and it took every ounce of willpower she had to keep herself from getting sick, and she closed her eyes. I'll get you back, Shocker! I'll save you from them... just you wait...
She opened her eyes and looked back in Serenity's direction, seeing Keegan throw a punch at Mike out of the corner of her eye. "Well we can't just leave them like that," she said, holding her limp arm against her with her left hand. "I don't want them to hurt each other... She glanced at her shoulder and sighed. She shouldn't have tried to attack Mai. If she'd kept her wits about her, she wouldn't be hurt like this and Shocker's Pokeball never would have came loose from her belt. If only... "How do we fix this then?" she asked suddenly, looking at her fellow blonde-haired girl. "Can you do it, or is there a way for me to?" Her resolve was rather strong, and she had no intentions of going anywhere until the two Lavaridge boys had been separated, or at the very least were no longer trying to kill one another.
