Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh," Eunmi flushed, realizing she should have offered her supplies earlier. She pulled off her back pack and quickly removed the first aid kit, tossing the gauze at Henrietta.

"I'ma go check on the big guy over there, Robby, I think his name was," Eunmi said, taking the rest of the first aid kit with her.

The pain was gone. He opened his eyes, tasted dirt and blood in his mouth. Wayne's strength slowly returned as he felt for the ground and pushed. A hurried shout came from behind, above, around; his head was spinning. Just what had happened anyway?

"Try not to move," the voice said, calm and gentle with a hint of worry. Vision blurring back, Wayne's eyes crooked open and he saw the faint shadow stretched before him. Tracing up, a slender silhouette, changing form as its owner knelt down.
"What happened?" Wayne found himself asking, pushed into a kneeling position.
"I told you not to move," the voice said again, this time with more authority, less patience.

Wayne blinked. Colour, shapes, all returning in bits and pieces.

"I passed out," he said slowly, recalling the final moments as he lost his strength.
"I saw the explosion and came running," said the silhouette, which became pink and white, "Found you unconscious next to a huge hole- Try not to move!"

Wayne felt his arm. It wasn't broken anymore. What the ********? He looked left and right, quickly spotting a Audino that eyed him carefully. The feeler on its cheek uncurled and, with surprisingly long reach, touched Wayne on his forehead. He suddenly felt his senses clear as Audino checked his aura as if it were his pulse. Seeming pleased, the pokémon retracted its feeler and sat down with a smile on its face.

"Wait a minute," Wayne looked back to his rescuer, "I remember you. You're that cosplay nurse from the pokémon center."
The nurse blinked with disbelief, "You think this is cosplay?"

Wayne rubbed the back of his head quickly. Err. Umm. Yeah. Cause nurses wear white, dumbass. No, he couldn't say that right after she helped him. He wasn't an a*****e like his father.

"Err, wait. I'm thinking of a different cosplay nurse. I mean, a cosplay nurse that isn't you. Cause that's not cosplay." Wayne stared for a second, "Is it?"
"No!"
"Awesome. Glad we cleared that one up, err...?"
"Shery Kirsten," said the not-cosplay nurse. "I know who you are from your ID."

Wayne went to get up but felt a hand on his shoulder. It was a firm, strong grip. He glanced to the side. Hitmonlee.

"I asked your Hitmonlee to make sure you did what I told you," Shery said and Wayne tried to ignore that she could command his pokémon better than him. "Your Solosis helped move you as well."

The pokémon in question rolled onto the scene. For the first time, Wayne realised that they were in somewhere different. It was still the Dreamyard but much further out; still within the confines of the outer wall but away from the building itself, in some dirt courtyard. They were alone.

"Wasn't there someone else in there?" Wayne asked with a frown on his face, "A girl. Salieri. She was with me when the ceiling collapsed."
"My Gothorita checked the area but she couldn't find anyone," Shery said, "Your friend either made it out okay or..." Wayne felt his chest tighten.

He forced his way to his feet, fighting out of Hitmonlee's grip. Shery rose at the same time, looking adamant.

"I'm not in the habit of losing my patients," she said, "Especially not after I told them not to move already. Sit. Down."
"Thanks for the help but-" the trainer started but Shery grabbed his formerly fractured forearm and squeezed, "-Ow, what the ******** bones may have been healed but they're still weak," the nurse said factually, "Stay down or I will put you down." She let go of his arm.

Wayne took a step back, looking to his pokémon for support. Solosis averted his gaze. Hitmonlee folded his arms. Wayne cursed under his breath. What was this?

"Fine," Wayne seethed, "I'll stay, but you have to go. I refuse to believe she died after what we went through."
"If it means so much to you," Shery said as she took a pokéball from her satchel bag, "Gothorita, stand guard."

The black-coloured psychic materialised. Wayne watched its form; a psychic more powerful than Solosis and with a type advantage over Hitmonlee. He felt Petilil's pokéball for a second but released his hold. No, she wouldn't be a match for an experienced pokémon right now. He grit his teeth, jaw flexing rapidly.

Shery strutted off towards the Dreamyard base. She paused, readjusted her pink nurse's hat, and carried on - Audino waddling quickly behind her.

Eunmi knelt down next to Robby, and smiled.

"Ghost? No way," she laughed. "Are you alright?"

Dali scuttled out of her arms and looked to Roast.

[You're not hurt, are you?] he said, feigning that he wasn't.

Takamaru was speechless. he wasn't expecting the battle to be over so quickly. "um.....well... w-what now?" He asked Avan as he walked towards the older boy.

By now the fatigue was wearing on the silver haired boy, he was tired, he hurt all over, and to make matters worse his head was full of non-sense mumbo jumbo belifes from the now deceased Olysea 'oh yea...'

and a wave of sorrow over came him as he fell backwards onto his back side. he had injured some one bad enough that it caused a death, no, it couldent be, not him 'not me!?' he thought as his breathing became irregular. Tk was just now relising what had actually taken place during his adrenalin high and it was all but too much for him to handle. his vision began to dim as he began to hyperventilate. 'no....no..' was all he could think for he was not only physicly drained but mentally as well and his body would not work how he urged it to.

while Takamaru's fit was taking place Iron Hide hurried to his side with a Cry of worry, not knowing what to do the large Iron Pokemon began to panic as well, not helping the situation at all. the two could only hope that Avan would know what to do in case of such an emergency...

"If I were a ghost, don't you think I'd know?" Eunmi said. "I'd be like... floating and see through and full of ectoplasm or something right?"

She stood up.

"Anyway, you seem to be alright," Eunmi said, crossing her arms. "Anything hurt?"

Robby put a hand to his head where blood had caked, and he had been kicked. "I guess yer not a ghost, and this proves I ain't. Hurts too much. Ghosts don't hurt, right?"

Shery held her arm up to shield her sight from the artificial sun's light. Who did this guy think he was, Jesus? Some allegory of Jesus? Something told her he wasn't with everyone else. Not that it mattered.

She lowered her arm and grit her teeth and she stared at the man, careful of his movements yet defiant in expression and pose. She was a nurse; confrontations weren't her thing, but she did have pokémon capable of battle if she had to defend herself.

Audino picked up on Henrietta's cries for help. Even with such a weak voice, her words still reached the Hearing Pokémon. Audino hurried over to Henrietta and began to inspect her wounds.

[Hold still,] she said, not that the trainer would understand her. She hoped that the gentle raising her of hands would be enough to get the message across. One of her cheek-bound feelers uncurled and reached for Henrietta's forehead.

Her lifeforce was a little weak, as if something had been eating away at it. Curious, but not serious. Audino retracted her feeler and aimed her palms at one another. In the gap between her hands, Audino began to charge a pink ball of light. It would crackle ever so slightly, radiating pleasant rays.

Audino shifted the ball forward and a wave blew off the surface, expanding rapidly and fading just as fast. With the main pink ball staying in place, the pink waves of light would pulse outward. Healing Pulse.

Henrietta would feel her wounds prickle, but if she looked then she'd see her cuts and bruises begin to knit together and fade as she was bathed in Audino's light. Eventually, assuming she had let Audino work, she'd feel mostly better. Tired, maybe a little fragile, but better.

Audino bowed and peeped her name as Henrietta hurried to meet the others. Her wounds weren't as severe as Wayne's - no broken bones for a start - so the pokémon felt no need to insist she rest. It wasn't like they really had the chance to, not if they wanted to get out of these ruins before night truly fell.

The Hearing Pokémon doddered over to Robby, Eunmi and now Henrietta. She held her hands together as her own trainer approached.

"Is everyone alright?" Shery said, looking about with her hand keeping her hat upright. "If you get in close to Audino's Heal Pulse then it'll heal some of your injuries."

Audino obliged by generating the healing ball of pink light as she had done to aid Henrietta. It began to radiate waves of energy, which would cause wounds to repair quickly.

Shery put her hands on her lap and bowed deeply, "I'm a travelling nurse: Shery Kirsten, at your service."
