After much flying, and Nitro being on the verge of passing out, they had reached the industrial city of Saffron. Mike looked around, seeing all the damage. "Yeesh." He stuck out his tongue expressively to no one in particular. The boy saw no more Pokemon battles, snapping his fingers. "Dammit, I missed the fun!"
Cutting around the buildings to avoid the news copters and policemen blockades, Nitro landed in an alleyway near where all this had happened. As his feet touched down, his legs came out from under him, the exhausted Pokemon landing on the ground in a slump.
Mike wobbled and fell off, laughing slightly and recalling Nitro. "Don't worry, I'll let you rest unless it's serious." He clipped the ball to his strap, releasing Portabello.
Mike quickly explained the situation to the mushroom capped Pokemon, who quickly understood. He and his trainer dashed out the alleyway, only to come face to face with a beaten up team of Pokemon: A Weezing who appeared to be carrying a Flareon on his head, and a Scizor.
My fellow Pokemon brethren, what has happened? Portabello wasted no time in asking the Pokemon. Where is your master?

Scizor blinked at the mushroom-capped Pokemon and placed a claw over her chest as a mark of honor. She could recognize a warrior when she saw one and Portabello was the spitting image. "Breloom," she said simply, "My master has been taken away by a thought-to be extinct scourge of the sky. Familiar with Aerodactyls?" She took a step forward and winced. Every part of her body was stinging in pain. "Honorable Breloom," she whispered, "My comrades, that is Weezing and Flareon, are in dire need of healing."
Weezing floated over very slowly, as to be sure that Flareon did not fall and become even more injured. "Bug-friend! I fine! Need no healing!" he laughed, then looked at Portabello with a quizzical expression. He leaned in very close to Breloom's face and opened his eyes wide. There was a silent pause.
"Mushroom."

Holding her left arm against her stomach where she had been attacked, Nina continued her trek towards Saffron City. "God, I hope that we're not too late! I can't imagine what's gone on in my abscence," she said to Anna. "And I still can't believe that I let my guard down like that! If only I hadn't been so careless and gotten attacked and needed blood--"
"Nina!" Anna said, "Don't you dare blame yourself for that! You didn't even know that was going to happen!" Nina flinched a little bit. "Jeez, sorry." Nina continued to travel for another five minutes or so, before she could see the scene of the incident. However, she saw a somewhat familiar figure of both a Pokemon, and a male trainer. She was able to make out his face as she drew closer.
"...Mike?" Nina asked, still supporting her stomach.

Mike listened in futility to the conversation between the oddly colored Scizor and his Breloom. "What's it saying?" He finally asked, stomping on the ground impatiently.
Paying no mind to his abrasive trainer, Portabello listened intently and bowed respectively. I do not have any healing items on me at the moment, but will gladly lead you and your kin to the Pokemon Center. He thought spoke to the bug Pokemon. Turning his head a few degrees, he was met with the intrusive Weezing, who floated mere centimeters from his face. Portabello coughed awkwardly. Um, could you kindly exist a few feet backward please? Brushing himself off, he turned and spoke to Mike. Master, these Pokemon require healing, may I lead them to the Pokemon Center?
The boy nodded, sending Portabello on his way. From behind him he heard a familiar voice. Mike turned to see Nina, who looked awful, standing there.
"Hey Nina!" He said loudly in a casual tone. "Eh, what happened to you, you look like a Hitmonchan went ten rounds with you."
The grass Pokemon walked over to the Scizor, hoisting her up over his shoulder. Do not worry, I'll carry you there without issue. He whistled back to the poisonous blob. Weezing, follow me!

"I'm sure that she has been quite successful. If your talent runs in the family, then I wouldn't worry about it." He saw Union Cave come into view and Ky quicken his pace. Being the calm person he was and far to lazy to run, he remained at his normal pace and just grinned as he saw Ky practically run to the cave. Looking around, he began to look for suitable means of illuminating their path. "A few big sticks should do..."

The Gyrados was rather hard to miss. Mitsu bit down on her bottom lip. She just couldn't help but worry now. She gave Shcoker a small pat on the head before she dashed off to aid her trainer. "I know she'll be fine," Mitsu half mumbled. "'Specially with Shocker's help." Mitsu shifted around a bit feeling useless. She sighed before turning back to M.A. and Violet although she couldn't find anything to say.
Nightmare looked to another one of his kind. All the Gyrados he had remember when he was still a young Magikarp were either kind and gentle or extremely hostile and violent. That was kind of odd though, considering he'd been caught in a peaceful lake near Rustboro City.
Karri swore she saw Sapphire's left eye twitch in annoyance as Ebony popped back up behind him. He laughed openly pointing at Karri and Sapphire respectively. "Haha! Got you!" He laughed. Sapphire's eyes narrowed into a fine glare. With a low growl he pounced up, paws launched ready to knock Ebony into his next life. Wait. Did he have a next life? He was a ghost after all. Once again sinking into the gorund all Sapphire ended up doing was eating mud as he landed into one of the holes Puddles had dug. Ebony resurfaced and began to skip away. Sapphire, who was slightly stuck in the mud could do nothing but scream, although it was more of a roar, "Get back here you!" Karri merely glanced at the two of them before deciding to not get involved. If Ebony crossed paths with her again, well, well then he'd get what was coming to him.

Scizor closed her eyes slowly when Portabello had picked her up. This warrior clearly had to be sent from some divine intervention. She felt a soft blush come across her muzzle and she buried her face in his shoulder to hide it. A feminine side appearing in her? Please.
Weezing floated over to Breloom, whistling to himself. The whistle was oddly garbled and the notes were completely off. He was very careful with Flareon's unconcious form, making his floats very slow. I like Mushroom. Bug-friend do, too, he thought to himself.

Ky couldn't wait to see what the cave looked like. As he got closer, he saw that the entrance was just a large crack leading into the rock-covered hills. The sound and smell of the ocean seemed to waft right over the cave. Ky stood still when he felt a breeze blow across his face, enjoying the feel of nature. He noticed that Crenu had fallen behind, searching along the sides of the trails. "Oh, yeah," Ky said, remembering their problem. When he looked into the gaping crack, he saw only black. "Guess I'll look for some sticks too."

Nina chuckled weakly as she approached her friend, Anna at her side. "It wasn't a Hitmonchan," she said, "but a Nidorina. I kind of... sort of... got attacked by Maorde Menskr." She said the last part of her sentence several tones quieter. "Kilik and I were out for a walk, and we got attacked by a Mightyena... Most of his Pokemon were hurt, so I let him borrow Sakura, and I took his Pokemon back to the Center to have them healed. After I did that, I was on my way back to him, and it happened." She shook her head slowly. "I didn't even have time to react. Kilik got me to the hospital, and I just got discharged from there about ten minutes ago."

Mike had a little trouble taking all in, a confused expression written all across his face. "You just got out of the hospital? Are you ok? Do you need help?" He asked, worried about his friend. Glancing around at the mention of Kilik, the boy scratced his head. "...where is he by the way?"
Although the cap of his mushroom hat hid it, Portabello smiled at the Scizor's affection. He could read minds after all. After a few minutes walk, the small group made it to the Pokemon Center. The grass Pokemon walked over to the counter, standing on his tippy toes so the nurse could see him. Excuse me miss, could I ask you to desist from your current activities and help these Pokemon? They were hurt from some ruffian who did not play by the rules.
Nurse Joy recognized the Breloom. She had seen it before with his trainer here a week or so back. "Of course." She pressed a button, three stretchers rolling out, Chanseys behind them.
Portabello gently placed Scizor on the stretcher, and watched them roll her away. He walked over to the Weezing, lifting the Flareon off his head and placing it on the other. The Breloom pointed to the only free one left, looking at Weezing. You're next.

As he picked up and tossed sticks, he placed them in a bundle in the main part of his bag. Finally catching up to Ky and the cave entrance, he looked into the opening and smiled. "Ready to go?" He said as he set the bag down and sat on the floor, geting ready to prepare some torches.

Mitsu's Pokenav suddenly began to ring. It was seemingly out of place and caused her to jump. She whipped out the red device before opening to take the call. "Hello? Hello?" she asked awaiting a reply. Nothing then static. "That's odd," she mused taking a look at the caller. It looked to be a four to six letter long name, she couldn't be sure. Parts of letters were missing and others didn't even look like letters, as if they recieved more lines than they should have. Needless to say it looked like a complete mess. Mitsu squinted trying to figure out the name to the mysterious caller. She made out what she thought was a 'T' and then a 'U' what looked to be a few letters from the 'T'. She looked for a number to return the call, but the numbers suffered the same deformities as the ID's name. This was one of Dad's spare Pokenav. There must be something wrong with it, or maybe it's one of his associates. She was aboout to close the Pokenav when it began to speak. It sounded cracked and static filled most of the sound. She could barely make out any words. "Mit--- me..." The voice spoke up again. "Tuh--" It paused, it sounded like the beginning of a name or at least that's what she thought. "---member....Ral--" Another pause filled with plently of static. It continued on for a good number of seconds before starting up again. "--break..." The static returned, however, the last sentence was quite clear. "It's me." One final pause before the Pokenav's screen turned black for a split second then quickly turned back on. "What the.." Mitsu uttered after the entire incident.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm alright," Nina replied, "I just feel a little dizzy, that's all. I had a blood transfusion done, so I'm kinda feeling some aftereffects. When Mike mentioned Kilik, Nina flinched a little and looked around. "Oh my god!" she said, looking around, "he was supposed to have been here still! Anna told me that he was still fighting with Maorde, but he's not here either!" She bit her bottom lip and paced around quickly. "If only one of his Pokemon were here, I could ask them; maybe they'd know something." She paused for a moment. "Wait. Mike, were his Pokemon still here when you arrived?"

Weezing blinked and was suddenly taken onto the stretcher by a very agressive Chansey. "No! Don't cut me! I humble Weezing who did not a thing wrong!" his voice echoed through the Center as he was wheeled away and taken into a very bright room.
Scizor smiled softly. There was something about that Breloom that she couldn't get out of her head. Hopefully she would be seeing more of him around. Her head moved slowly to her right to see Flareon on a stretcher. The Pokemon was not moving. It was really hurt. Sad to see Master's favorite in such conditions... she thought, closing her eyes again.

"Um, his Pokemon were here. The Scizor, the Weezing and the Flareon." Mike counted on his fingers three Pokemon, making sure he got it right. "Portabello took them to the Pokemon Center just before you got here. The bug told him that he was snagged by some trainer riding an Aerodactyl." After relaying all this information, Mike looked at his friend, who was clearly not well. The boy took his hands from his pockets and crossed them over his chest, a frown appearing on his face. "You step your butt back into that hospital right now little miss."
A few thousand meters away, Portabello was sitting down in the Pokemon center, meditating on the current issue at hand.
