Welcome to Gaia! ::

Katara landed outside the hospital, and the little eevee on his back slipped off and quickly rushed into the building. He bumped into a nurse, and quickly explained what had happened.

"I need help getting him off of Kat's back!"

It took two nurses with Atra's help to untie Zero and carry him into the building. They wheeled him into one of the nearby rooms and got him onto a bed, before running off promising to come back with someone that could take a look at what was wrong with the Glaceon.

Katara, after some difficulty, finally managed to push her way into the Hospital without destroying the doors. She went down the hallway she had seen them push Zero down, and quickly saw Atra sitting inside one of the rooms.

He forced his way into this room, only briefly acknowledging a black eevee with an egg before settling down beside Atra. His claws rested uncomfortably on the smooth surface of the floor.

Atra's head turned as the black eevee in the other bed spoke. He knew Zero? The brown and silver eevee spent a moment trying to recall if he had met this Pokemon before, and concluded that he had not.

"How do you know Zero?" Atra asked, slightly curious and happy with the distraction. It's not every day you have to go through the trauma of having both of your heroes be possibly mortally wounded within a week's time.

Katara shifted slightly, her metal claws screeching against the floor. Atra winced slightly at the sound, and Katara stopped, taking slightly more care in her movements.

Ah yes, Zero had been working at the Hospital since the Virus infection last week. Atra looked back to the Glaceon on the bed, his side rising and falling rhythmically. Other than the fact he had collapsed and would not wake up, Zero had exhibited no other signs of injury. He laid their peacefully, his breathing normally, his pulse strong...

Arceus dammit someone give me a Cheri berry already. Zero growled in his mind, struggling to move. He couldn't even twitch a muscle. The only thing he could think of was that he was paralysed -Arceus it was a strong paralysis if it was.

"The Moon Guild attacked the Castle, and I guess he went in and helped. I saw him collapse at the end of the battle, and he hasn't woken up yet." Atra explained to the black eevee. He started when Katara spoke up beside him.

"I saw him fighting the Absol wielding the machine...it was what had been disabling those who were fighting by type. Just before he tried to run away the Glaceon attacked him, and the Absol fired his machine right up against him..." Katara had a bird-eye view of the entire battle during the fight, and it wasn't surprising the Machine-wielding Absol had caught the steel-type's eyes.

Atra shuddered. The weird metal thing Spike had been using was able to paralyse every Pokemon of a certain type in the entire area, including ones as powerful as Solaris. He couldn't imagine taking the blast from point-blank range...

Upon hearing Volkner come to his senses, Flint nearly jumped out of his seat in the corner of the room opposite to the hospital bed."What the hell happened?!" He squealed out. Sure the Shinx looked a little better now but not too long ago he was a bloody and beat up mess.
