The Kirlia's HEAL PULSE had eased the victims' pain. While the young man had an Absol of his own, the specimen was too small for him to mount. The Pokémon was in good enough shape to walk, but the trainer was not. Luckily, he had his own solution. Josh withdrew the remainder of his Pokémon, except for Ares, and sent out his Absol, Twilight, her head tilted toward her fellow, smaller Pokémon. "Hop right on! We'll head back to town together and get you and your Absol patched right up." The younger trainer's eyes lit up, gratefully thanking the Senior Ranger. Twilight crouched, letting the guest mount up and take the jet-black reins into his hands.

Pokémon healing, while putting a great deal of stress on the user, was invaluable. It had made it possible for the young trainer to make it back to safety without too much trouble. "And that's a job well done," Josh replied. "You're a pleasure to work with, Ghost. I look forward to working with you more. Keep me in mind!" Once the duo were patched up, Ghost offered Josh a second wave of his Kirlia's restoration. "I'm unharmed. Just a little tired is all."

Josh climbed on Ares' back and had the fire-type reptile maintain low flight that his Absol could keep up with. It looked like the short man was having a great time, his own Absol running alongside Twilight. "Alright, let's get these two back to Slateport. Then I need to go back to Mauville HQ and give my situation report. Only then can we call it Mission Complete." With that, the two were able to fulfill their duty without further incident. He had received an email about some delicious fruit cakes being given away at HQ. Perhaps something there would tickle his fancy!
