Cass waits at the edge of Petalburg Woods for Thea to arrive. She's tense, peering into the familiar woods, scared. Worried. "Ah, there you are," she says as her friends arrives, but her expression remains weary, "There's ... more Toxic Chained pokémon in the Woods, and even moreso ... Celebi's been sighted."

A pokémon that should announce a brighter future, generally - but upon entering, they immediately notice that something is amiss. Jon is in her arms, and she's looking around with a weary look. "Martin, use Aromatherapy!" she tells her Comfey, who readily obliges, spreading a soothing, calming scent. It seems to have an effect on some of the pokémon, too, as some seem to feel a bit better. "Keep at it."

She turns to Thea while wandering the Woods, pensive. "... there's something wrong with the time, isn't it? I can't say what, but it's ... very strange." And she isn't sure, but she also feels a bit worse for wear, but trudges on, looking around the familiar-unfamiliar woods.

Thea Naito
PROMPT have a pokemon know & use the move, AROMATHERAPY, feel slightly sick after 3+ poison patrols.

Petalburg Woods now lay under siege from the poisonous pestilence. Michael and his team did not hesitate to arrive and mitigate the threat from the plagued Grass-Type Pokemon that called the area home. Eimyrja's Fire-Type moves acted as a cleansing flame to rebuke the disease. Water-Type moves from Cobalt and Jaws helped to douse the fires before they could cause harm the flora and fauna.

The flittering fairy of the forest caught Michael's attention. The Ranger frowned at the sight of the Toxic Chain. Still, he found himself enamored to be in the presence of the Lord of Time and Nature.

Words escaped the Cadet. He could see that the green onion fairy was in pain and in shock. Though he recognized the Celebi was not turned like the other Pokemon by the chains that bound their wills. Hoping to aid, Michael offered some Lava Cookies to the Legendary.

"Please, take one," he pleaded. "I'll do what I can to get these to the other afflicted Pokemon."

"Just focus on helping Celebi," Hideo ordered, taking a seat by a tree.

Despite his Pokemons' insistence to stay back, Hideo went in when he heard Celebi was getting attacked by Toxic Chain Pokemon. He'd already been feeling unwell, but he thought it wouldn't be any worse than the other Toxic Chain events.

But this one just made him feel so much worse, like there was something else even more off about this one.

Half his team obeyed him; his Ribombee pursued Celebi, trying to heal it with Pollen Puffs, while his Cinderace focused on offense, nailing Toxic Chain'd Pokemon with Pyro Ball after Pyro Ball.

The other half, however, stayed by Hideo's side; his Shaymin utilized an Aromatherapy to try and make him feel better, while his Beheeyem had him chow down on a Pecha berry.

As much as he wanted to scold the ones that remained with him, he just didn't have the energy for it. He'd run himself ragged, trying to contain all these Toxic Chain incidents.

Because what kind of Gym Leader would he be if he just let these issues ravage his Region? His home?

- attack/defend against the TOXIC CHAINED GRASS-TYPE POKEMON (YOU CAN CHOOSE THE SPECIES).

When even mythical beings are being affected by these Toxic Chains, that is a source of concern.

Atop Midori's back, and with Tsukiko running alongside, Makoto attempts to keep pace with the Celebi that is zipping through the trees. There is an ever-present sense of unease all the whilst - not only from the infected pokemon that are giving chase, but also from the sense of time feeling wrong here, in a way that disorients them.

Every so often, they glance down to check the time - hoping that some discrepency can be found, or some other sign of just how things are wrong here. They hope to find some form of quantifiable information, something that Amor Rose, howard slayte, or Tempest Quinn might be able to work with - but thus far... No dice.

All they can do, is attempt to keep track of the Celebi - and perhaps try to aid it. It's clear that the fairy is not completely lost to the chain, unlike the more mundane pokemon giving chase. "Tsukiko - Heal Bell..!"

The Alolan Ninetales barks in response, her Illumina markings briefly lighting up as the single chime of a bell rings out. Perhaps, hopefully, this would help those here who were ailing...
