That left Robby, Eunmi, Salieri and Henrietta. Had Shery and David followed? She hadn't noticed. Either way, it appeared that they didn't get the invite. Henrietta looked over at Salieri and said, "o-okay." She could sleep in a cot, as long as she got a shower and some sleep. Soon.
"C-can we g- eep!" She had looked at Robby and had noticed the mugger on his back. Tiredly, he fell from the obese lad and lay, too tired to keep going.
"C-can w-we g-go p-p-p-please!?"

((Wat.))
"See ya," Eunmi waved, before turning to Salieri, continuing to walk along. "Who was that?"
((I don't remember them meeting, but I could be wrong. Anyway, short reintroduction can't hurt.))
"I'm with you on the steak, by the way," Eunmi grinned, glancing at Robby. "But you have to get your own."
She stuck out her tongue.

"Hello, police? I'm on Coffee Highway on the way out of Striaton City. Yes, this boy is harassing me, he's got two Pokemon out and he's threatening me. Yes, thank you." Gorm hung up the phone. "Boy, the world doesn't work that way. You either have the strength to fight, or the weakness to kneel. You don't get to stand like a fragile being before me and get anything out of me."

"Then next time we meet, I'll show you my strength. I know my own limits, and I'm not going to risk the fate of my friends. However, the more I listen to you, the more I know just what kind of a hypocrite you really are. A common, honorless thug, no more, no less." Robert spoke before he began to walk off. He knew his body was too weak from fatigue to be able to hold up a proper fight. He was going to have to get stronger. But at the very least, he knew the robed man didn't have the Pokemon, which meant he must have handed them off to someone else.
Meanwhile, his Lucario was heading towards Robert, yet keeping her ears open for anything that might be of interest to her trainer. Robert was heading his way back from his confrontation. At the very least, he'd have some information and his Pokemon. If the man never spoke of stealing his Pokemon, he would have probably battled until exhaustion or worse. But he wasn't going to put his companions in danger, not like that. He was going to have to get much stronger and fast.
After a while of walking, his Pokemon led him to the place where the others were staying. As soon as Robert was inside the inn, he'd collapse from exhaustion. Freya, Garnet and Beatrix would bring him over to the couch of the inn to lay him down upon it and guard over him.

Wayne sat beneath a trainer tent, floodlight showering him with white, which was tinted by the tent's top. He'd claimed a bed, being informed that the floodlights were going to be shut down soon, letting people sleep. There were a number of trainers around, though many more empty beds. A lot of trainers had opted for the more comfortable hotel option, or simply to go home and rest there. Pokémon scurried or fluttered around the camp, many too stupid and/or playful to know the seriousness of the situation. Occasionally you'd see a worried newbie looking for his lost pokémon.
The trainer's legs dangled from atop his bed and he lay back, staring at the Xtransceiver on his wrist.
"C'mon Tess..." he said quietly to himself, but there was no reply, it just went through to voicemail. Wayne sat up, pushing the button to cancel the call, sighing.
He suddenly felt a buzzing against his wrist as his Xtransceiver got a call. With a surge of excitement, Wayne sent the call through without looking to see who it was. He felt mildly disappointed to see it wasn't Tess on the other end, but a woman with tied back brown hair and dazzling green eyes. His aunt.
"Hey, kid. Heard you were in Striaton," she said. This was Wayne's family in the world government. Some soldier or leader or something - Wayne wasn't too sure on all the details.
"Yeah, I was gonna call," Wayne replied as he readjusted his sitting position, straightening up without realising it, "What happened here? I wasn't around when it all started."
"Well to state the obvious: someone blew up the pokémon center and hospital. It's been a nightmare," Wayne's Aunt ran her fingers through her bangs and continued, "As for the cause; we're still trying to determine that. We think a pokémon did it."
"Plasma did it," Wayne said back. "They start with stealing pokémon and now it's terrorism. It has to be."
"Thanks for the police work, kid," Aunt said back, "Nice to see all that evidence you have. No wait."
"C'mon, you know it has to be them!"
"We're keeping an eye on Plasma, don't you worry," Aunt smirked, "But blowing up a hospital for pokémon? Not their MO. Hell, they're probably as distraught as you are."
"The hospital then," Wayne said, clutching at straws.
"Plasma aren't exactly anti-human. From what we've gathered, they're more interested in keeping pokémon separated from humans. Probably feel outraged by all the Stockholm."
Wayne went quiet. He wanted it to be Plasma. To feel justified in his hate. If they were guilty for this, then others would be on his side. He could turn his vendetta into a war. Deep down, this is what he thought. But on the surface, he knew actions that propagated violence were too drastic, too dangerous. It was a frustrating predicament; like an itch you couldn't scratch no matter what.
"Look, if it makes you feel any better," Aunt continued, "I'll put some agents onto the Plasma case. Your dad called before and told me they were at the Dreamyard. If you got injured fighting them then it's enough for an official investigation. Don't know how far you'd get with it, but I'll push."
"Thanks."
"No worries, kid. Get some sleep."
The screen went black and Wayne dropped his arm down, sighing deeply. Yeah. Sleep. Things would look better in the morning.
((Time skip's good for me))

Eunmi was half-laying half-sitting in her bed due to the enormous amount of pillows that were piled on top of the mattress. Dali was curled up on a pillow, snoring softly, while D-Vee was laying at her side. He hadn't woken up since she got him back.
She sat forward, grabbing one of the many pillows and tucked it under her as she lay at the end of the bed, facing the cot that Henrietta was occupying.
"Sorry for today," Eunmi said, a bit murmured because the pillow beneath her prevented her from opening her jaw too much. "...we wouldn't have been at the dream yard if we hadn't been battling."

Henrietta had spent what felt like an entire hour in the shower trying to get all of the blood and dirt and sweat off of her. Sure, it probably wasn't as bad as she thought it was but she felt gross every time she thought she might've scrubbed enough.
Currently, she lay on the cot, as uncomfortable as the thing was. The room service had been nice but Henrietta couldn't bring herself to eat much of anything. A moment ago she'd been starving but when the food arrived she could barely stare at it.
Dressed in pink pajama shorts and tank, she lay snuggled up under a blanket she'd left home with. It was small and only meant to be temporary as she'd been under the impression, originally, that she'd either be using a sleeping bag or a pokemon center bed.
"Rule number one, never apologize," Henrietta said in a voice that said she was too drained of a lot of her emotion through the trials she'd suffered that day.
"I ruined your shirt though," she said and she rolled over from her back to lay on her stomach. She grabbed the shirt from the top of her bag and held it up. The back had been torn slightly thanks to Melty's Night Shade, and scratches remained from her ball into the second level chasm. It was coated in dirt and blood.
"You can have one of mine," she said but, of course, Eunmi was probably too tall to wear any of her clothing.

"It's not a big deal," Eunmi said. "Maybe we'll go to one of their concerts and you can get me a new one."
Eunmi stretched.
"By the way," Eunmi said, glancing at Henrietta. "Can you just call me 'Emi'?"
The teenager grinned.
"You keep pronouncing my name wrong."

Had she been? How did you pronounce it? 'enmi?' 'oomi?' Henrietta had no idea. So she said, "alright, Emi." Should Henrietta have a nickname, too? She pondered this a moment, but only a moment. There wasn't a way you could cut up her name that didn't sound totally lame, or like a man's name.
She set the shirt down and looked over at Emi across the room. "I still need to get my badge," she said. That was the point of her training yesterday and it had all gone downhill. "So I think I'll wake up early. Maybe... Robert will be back.."

"Yaaawwwnn," Eunmi didn't even try to cover her mouth as she rolled over.
"Sounds good. At least you got... more... Pokemon.. than me," she said sleepily.
"I didn't see... a store for... 'em." She closed her eyes.
Yes. Eunmi did not know how to catch a Pokemon.

A store? Wait, what? Henrietta stared at Emi for a moment but determined that she had probably fallen asleep with the way she was talking. Henrietta herself didn't care enough to try and poke for a conversation. Instead, she rolled onto he side and pulled the blankets close to her.
"Darumi... Tomorrow... I'll get you back I prom...."

So in the end, what I think I learned today was that I’m not as prepared for this as I thought it was. This morning an old lady told me that I didn’t know where I was going or what I was looking for. And now I’ve been shown that I still have a long ways to go before I can grasp what I want to badly. My journey has just begun. These mistakes just add up to experience.
Salieri looked back from the balcony at the other girls, both of which had gotten ready for bed and fallen asleep. Sal herself had her hair down, and was wearing what looked like a standard red male Chinese kung fu uniform. Only the size was big enough that it was very baggy on her petite frame. The softness of her pajamas was making her sleepy, but she still felt the urge to finish her journal entry. After keeping one for all these years, why stop now? Especially after such an eventful day.
And I think I finally made some friends! Not pokemon this time, either! Moze told me I’d get a new start in Unova, and I believe that he got that right. Hopefully I’ll get to know them all better while we all work to become what we aim to be.
I know it’s been a day full of mistakes, but I realized that it’s just part of the learning process. And I wanted to end on a good note too. After all, my family always says you should never go to sleep upset!
-S.d.f
P.S. I’m still not sure if Wayne peed in the lake or not. I don’t think I’ll ever know, but next time I’ll tell him to warn me first.
Salieri put her pen into the journal cover’s pocket and then snapped it shut. She went back into the room and put the book down on her night table next to her pokebelt. After turning off the lights, Sal got into bed.
She tried to clear her mind before going to sleep. After running around the Dreamyard all day, she still wanted to dream. And as she dozed off, the Battle Girl smiled.

As Audino scurried over to Bill and Chuck and brought them closer together so she could get them healed more easily, N toom the pokeballs from each of his Team Plasma grunts. His green eyes stared dully at the pokeballs in his hands as he took a deep breath.
"You've all done well. I'm sorry that this had ended up with you both getting hurt. It should have never come to a battle. If I had known there'd be trouble, I would have stepped in myself."
N shook his head. "Still, this is only more proof to me that pokemon training will always lead to problems. It is just the formula to life. Because of your efforts, three more pokemon have been freed. And that's gotten us closer to the goal of balancing the equation that will save the world."
He held up his hands, as if offering the pokeballs to the moonlight that shone through the trees onto the meeting. "Now, it's time to see who our new friends are."
