"Yes, you are a lot of trouble, and I decided upon something due to that ....I got a run to make, and you are coming with me."
Professor Allison would declare with a smirk .....she filled in for that pause. The girl's movement of her hands and the stiff movements of her shoulders gave her hope.
That was good enough for her, and she was smiling big because of that.
"Since, if you are left on your own ...you seem to have a very good ....chance of ending up in more pieces ...you will be traveling with me next."
She would restate, and wait to see what Jasmine makes of her statement.

Jasmine looked at the nurse... she had her next clue already to go to Celadon, and she'd wasted more than enough time just on healing, unable to do anything else...
And... and... she felt the frustration welling... she still had other things that needed to be done...
And yet...
She bit her lip for now, looking to the others, Burnout of course was unreadable, Primal too nonchalant and aloof, but Nightingale was the only one beaming at delight at the idea of spending time learning with a Joy, everyone else was shaking heads frantically as they tried to get the girl to see reason not to go!!
Jasmine bit her lip... she couldn't deny... being with Allison, she might learn something... but of course... there was the important question... "Okay... well... Ma'am... where are we going to go?"
Allison answered quickly. The girl's face didn't show the delight that she was expecting, so, she probably took this as a punishment. Oh well, and for that reason alone, Allison didn't feel like being the nice Nurse. Afterall, she was currently dressed in the guise of a scientist, and those types can be very temperamental when someone didn't take their contribution seriously.
Thus, she dropped her smile and crossed her arms.
"Anyway, go see about gathering any needed supplies for this mission. We won't be back here for a good minute, so you might want to make sure you are prepared."
"I have no plans of sharing supplies with you."
She would end her statement with that ....as she would start to gather her supplies ....along with the broken cast for dispose.
Her mood had turned sour indeed.

Jasmine simply nodded at Allison's stern answer. Just like that, Jasmine's disappointment to the Joy's... well, lack of joy... It spread fairly quickly around the room as the more animated protests and looks turned equally dower.
Even Nightingale, the only one who WAS looking forward to this no matter what, now looked all around her, sensitive enough to see that no one else shared her delight, not even Allison now.
She would give a light nudge and already Ironclaw and Lindbergh would suddenly rush for Jasmine's bag of supplies and sets.
"I..." Jasmine started... and then stopped, as Allison would leave to dispose of the medical waste and get ready... and then she sighed... she really had messed this up already, hadn't she?
[Come now, Jasmine!] Nightingale suddenly marched up to the girl. [This should be an honor, a treat! A once in a lifetime opportunity getting to work alongside a Joy!!]
Of course, it was Nightingale who was there, the others getting her things ready as the Chansey spoke frankly to the girl. [Do you even know how many years of training it takes to be just by her side in an operating theater?]
Jasmine smiled, just a little. "I'm happy to see you're certainly taking your medical status serious ever since you evolved."
[I took them serious BEFORE I evolved, thank you very much!] She humphed, folding arms.
"Well... it's just... it's awkward... to tell Professor Allison how I feel... about the things I'm worried about... she's told me not to think of Aether... but Aether's one of us... one of you, and... and it's hard to just forget her, to say she's not allowed back..."
The girl looked just a little distant, even as she accepted her things, gathering up her clothes and items. "...And I know Allison would forbid it if I told her what I'm really searching for, looking for the merchant who has Rhinox and Licorice."
"...But getting them back seems like the only way to maybe make her think of letting me keep Aether as well... It's because I treated those two like something to trade more than pokémon that she confiscated Aether..."
"And..."
The Chansey lay a hand on the girl's shoulder. [Maybe this is an opportunity here... ANOTHER way of doing it... let her see you at your best... and she'll see these things that happen, they're not your fault.]
[Sometimes... the things that make us trip up, are the things we put in front of ourselves. Believe in yourself... and I know you'll make her proud.]
Jasmine smiled, and for the longest time it felt genuine.
~~~~~~~~~
It would be a good few minutes worth of struggling, but on the clothes went, fresh underwear for starters, that felt like a luxury in of itself! Stockings went tight over her legs, followed by the all familiar braces and boots... her overshirt there, not even bothering with the bandages any more now her burns had healed... gloves, jacket, skirt all followed in succession...
But she kept that eye covered still... she didn't let Nightingale touch that there, as she'd then procede to wrap her shawl and cloak over herself, finally, topping off with hat and crutch at the ready.
There she stepped out, and with Lindbergh perched and draped around her shoulder, there was Nightingale at her side... It only seemed fitting as the girl made a beeline for the PC.
Some would stay behind...
That she'd make a point of... she needed room in the party for when this egg hatched... and some weren't really cut out for the whole business... As she considered carefully...
Primal... Queen... Those two pokéballs went into the PC, Queen to the graveyard, Primal to the wastes... she'd need to send food too... as she looked then toward next door... she had to make a supply trip, and she didn't have much to barter with, but she'd see!
Mina bit her lip as she walked into the pokemon center. She had failed on her first treck into the wild islands around the academy. She tilted her head down, she needed more training more experience to make her dream come true. She needed to heal her pokemon and return to her teacher. "Hello is there anyone here? I need to have my pokemon healed.".
What came out of the back was an completely unkempt Nurse Joy. Her hat balanced dangerously on her head, her dress stain, and she had eyes that were blood shot and red. She would belch as she came closer and scratch her rear as she would look at the girl and foul smell of her breathe would hit before she spoke the first words.
"Cain Uup help Yooooouuuuuu?"
Why the last word you had to pronounce with suck a long hanging wasn't hard to figure out ....as one would immediately see that Nurse Joy seemed to be quite drunk.

Mina looked at the nurse knowing she was drunk by the way she acted. She had watched her father like this once and she scrunched up her nose. "I need my pokemon healed Nurse Joy".
"Aye ...if that's ...that's ...that's what you need."
She would belch again ...as she picked up the pokeball from the girl's hands and toss it upon the machine. The thing would hit, and with the press of a button it would work on healing. At least she wasn't trying to do special aids to the pokemon in this state as she would finish and then place the pokeball back into the girl's hand.
And just as a drunken Joy would place the ball back in the girl's hand, Jasmine would appear there in the door alongside the Chansey, "Professor, I'm ba-"
She stopped, blinking somewhat bemusedly as she waited a second to be sure she was looking at what she thought she was looking at... Allison was drunk... was it really drunkenness, or was she just in another one of her moods?
Jasmine looked at Mina, offering just a little bob of the head as she'd crutch forward, "I'm almost ready... are... you still alright to go?"

The woman would seem to drop it almost instantly....as she would look at Jasmine and smile shyly.
"You are back a bit sooner than I predicted."
She would declare with a big grin on her face. The woman had dropped the drunk act at the drop of a dime, and it was like she had never played that part beforehand.
A hand would go through her hair as she grin quite broadly.
The girl let out a slight laugh... nodding there, "I... managed to get myself organised."
"I made sure that I left some of my pokémon on the Terrain to be able to start training... and that they've got plenty food, some berries... What I didn't spend on food, I spent on items for the mission, wherever it is."
She seemed in a good mood nonetheless anyway, better than when last she left.
It... seemed like a good time at least... as she couldn't help but remember there was the other girl there still yet to leave. "But... before we go..."
"I need to ask you something... and..." She gulped past a lump in her throat, "I need to tell you some details as well..."
"If... we can talk in private...?"

Mina nodded to the Nurse and took her pokeball back and turned to go back to her professor. She would have thanked the nurse but she was to repulsed by the drunkeness. She shook her head then looked back at the last second before running out the door.. {Exit to Shielding Class}
Theo stepped through the sliding door,into the pokemon center. There wasn't any need for him to take Midnight as she didn't receive any injury from their previous battle test,but Theo took her here anyway. Who knows what they will do in pre-emptive strike class, better have his pokemon in top condition. Looking around the room for the counter, he found it at the very back and headed there."Nurse Joy?"Theo called for the nurse Joy and found it strange for the counter to be empty in daylight without any assistant pokemon too.
Nurse Joy would nod at Jasmine as she would lead the way to the back. There was no sense standing in front of the counter even though one girl was gone ...another was sure to follow .....as they exit to the back ...Theo would enter to a moment of an empty counter, but that wouldn't last long as the Porygon would come into the room.
The pokemon would dance around the counter for a moment before settling in its role as it waited for the boy to show off is pokemon ....even as Professor Allison Joy would smile at Jasmine as she started to straighten up her hair with a brush she grabbed as they pass by one of the backroom counter.
"So, what is so secret?"
She would ask as she lead her to her office, where the woman would promptly step around Jasmine to lock up the door.
((Wheee, another day of work posts... To boot the hospital already saw me, I'm not getting out of the cast x_x))
The girl took a deep breath...
And then, placed two objects on the table... A large tarot card, with bloody letters upon it spelling 'Celadon City'... And as she reached under the layers of her clothes, she would remove the Titans Crest, placing that more prominently on display.
This was it, cards on the table, literally even.
"I've been trying to find a way to track down Licorice and Rhinox since the stall owner trick- Since I gave them to him..."
"And whilst hunting, I've came across very little clues, Victoria had suggested the underground tournament might bring in black market types, but we never got that far... But a strange shadowy... 'presence' Iguess, stopped us, and gave us each a location, without telling us what they meant..."
She indicated the card.
"And earlier... I'd found this on a strange island..." She offered the Crest to the nurse, "It fell off of Regigigas, when it attacked us all, Linbergh lay the final blow and this came off of it."
"I'd been k reaping them secret until Iknew anymore... Until I could hope to bring Licorice and Rhinoxback... Even if you weren't going to let me keep the and Aether any more, I at least wanted to be the one who would release them back onto Pink Island."
"But... When I realised I was out of money, I asked the Mart owner about the crest... And he said it was too old for him to tell anything from it."
"He suggested I speak to you... So... This... Is kind of everything I've been doing... Even though you said to forget about Licorice, Rhinox and Aether..." She became slowly more timid and quieter with her words.
"I guess, I'm just beginning to realise how hopeless it looks... It's not looking like I'll find them at this rate... And the only way I might... Is by being honest with you, and asking your thoughts..."
And there she went quiet, waiting. Letting the nurse sink it all in... Her actions... Her missions she'd chosen... And the strange artefacts and clues she'd found... What would Allisomn make of them?
