Honestly she didn’t know. While Elinor hadn’t seen the Pokémon walk away. A stray Aggron was easy pickings for an organized bunch of bandits.

She shook her head. She didn’t want to think about it. She had to keep the hope up that they were alive and well.

“What I want to do is pretend this is all just a bad dream, and that I soon will wake up in the comfort of my own bedroom.” Elinor said, her voice souring.

“But reality is often disappointing isn’t it?” She spoke.

“I am fine either way.” She muttered. But then a stray thought made its way into her mind. “But if you want to talk about something else, I have a question. Did Team Rocket capture anyone else or is it just me?”

The Gentleness made her flinch. It hadn’t been something given to her while she was here. Yet, this person was amply providing it as they applied antibiotic ointment and bandages.

The gentleness made Elinor ease up a bit.

For a moment she forgot about the pain, the memories, all of it.

“Because it feels like something is writhing beneath my skin, tearing at my nerves at all times. It hurts, and scratching relieves it somewhat. At least the pain of that is better… if that makes sense.” How did you describe the permanent sensation of pain applied directly to the nerves through sheer Banette-magics.

Of course she knew it wasn’t doing it any longer. Yet, somehow she still felt it. In her arms, in her eye. She had only stopped herself from scratching out her own eye by tearing apart her arms.

Elinor watched cautiously even if she had agreed to let the woman do this.

She tensed when the syringe was brought up, she watched sceptically at the clear liquid, though the woman’s words disturbed her focus somewhat.

Elinor wasn’t sure she believed the woman in regards to the desk job or the pain relief. But that didn’t matter. She winced slightly as the needle broke skin and the liquid was injected. The needle was removed once more and the small prick wound was treated.

Soyeon then moved to her other words, applying bandages as best she could. She continued to speak, as if to fill a silence that would otherwise grow awkward.

“Nothing is impossible.” Elinor stated.

“I was caught by Tempest Quinn” She paused. “He caught me at a moment where your fellow rockets had already depleted me and my Pokémon of energy.” Another pause. “Unfortunately his Pokémon had energy to spare and so got the better of me.” She didn't need to mention that she had taken to the battle knowing well that her Pokémon were tired.

“I see that you got out of the whole ordeal unharmed.”

(Disclaimer: All speech is done in PokéSpeech)

Anger, confusion, sadness, defeat. These were all emotions shared between Elinor Anderson's Pokemon after her capture.

For those unfortunate souls hired to manage the ranch she kept her Pokemon at, they found themselves amidst a place of high tension. The Pokemon were getting snappy not only with each other but with the caregivers as well.

At first Gron the Aggron had tried to keep the peace, led by example. But the guilt of failure, the pain of defeat and the wish to save Elinor had led him down an emotionally dark path where each moment not spent eating or resting was spent putting himself through rigorous training.

The lack of information was the worst part. He had heard not a single shred of information since he had told Laurence Anderson about it, in his own Pokémon way. He had expected his trainer's cousin to show him the same kindness, and yet Lars and his icy patron had done no such thing.

Night had fallen over the ranch. A ghostly claw slammed into a makeshift training dummy. A roar of frustration followed.

"Roaring like that will avail you nothing but the ire of those sleeping right now, Gron." Aala the Gardevoir's soothing voice gently spoke.

Gron growled in reply. "Let them wake up. They ought to be spending the time wiser than just sleeping."

"Gron that is the grief talking." Painful empathy soaked her voice.

Another claw slammed into the rocky dummy transforming solid rock into rubble. "So what if it is!"

"Gron…" Aala hesitated.

"I can't just be doing nothing. I need to get stronger."

Before Gron could say any more Aala would wrap her arms around him in a hug. For a moment they grieved together.

Their hug came to an end. And Aala began to speak once more. "If you want to get stronger you need a better opponent."

"Yeah…" Gron agreed though he did not like it.

"I might know someone. But first you need sleep." Aala stated.

Gron sighed and admitted defeat in that regard.

The sun rose upon the morning after. Gron and Aala gathered early and through the Gardevoir's ability to teleport they made their way into the wilderness of Hoenn.

"So, who are we meeting?" Gron asked as they made their way through woodland shrubbery.

"An old friend of mine from back when I still called the wilds my home."

It took them hours to stumble upon the small hut made of sticks, leaves and vines. At its entrance sat an older gruff looking urshifu in the midst of eating a collection of fruits. At the sight of the approaching Pokemon it raised a hand in greeting and boisterously said. "Well, if it isn't little Aala. Been ages, what brings you out here?"

"We come seeking strength." Aala replied.

Urshifu's face darkened. "Hmmm, and why do you and your friend seek strength?"

Aala began to regale the tale of the why. She spoke of their trainer and how they had failed her. She spoke of what they hoped to accomplish by coming here and attaining strength.

Urshifu looked thoughtful, maybe even concerned. "Aala, you ask much of me. You wish not only to impart my strength upon you and your friends but also for me to forsake my freedom."

Aala looked disheartened. She knew her old mentor didn't care much for Pokémon trainer's.

A painful moment went by as the Urshifu sat with eyes closed, chewing on its fruit. From time to time it would open its eyes and take stock of the Gardevoir and her Aggron companion. At last he sighed deeply while nodding. "Very well. I will help you attain strength, but know I can't grant strength where there is no potential for growth." He paused. As for my freedom. I will decide on nothing until I take stock of this trainer of yours, myself."

Aala nodded knowing these were the best terms they could possibly get.

And so the Urshifu finished its meal before gesturing for the pair to show him the way to where they called home.

For reasons unknown to her Team Rocket had decided to move her. As always they seemed extra cautious about it whenever they did. They made sure she saw nothing, as she would have stumbled alongside the guards that accompanied her.

Had it not been for the sound of waves, and Wingulls, she would not even have known that they had taken her onto a ship. She deduced it had to be a huge ship as they led her all the way through, placing her at the furthest down cell. Where they left her.

When the Rocket members left her in the cell, they did not deign to even remove the cloth covering her eyes nor the chains tightly locking her hands behind her back. And so, she could do nothing but sit uncomfortably on the wooden bench clad in her prison clothes, long pink hair strewn about, frayed edges and all from the lack of care, all while the sensation of itchiness that had become a constant companion edged her on.

She ignored the itchiness as best she could, she had to. She knew it’s source wasn’t here. She knew Zev Harcourt’s Banette was not working its torturous magic on her. She knew because she was alone.

All alone in this cell.

So very alone.

Had the League forgotten about her?

Had her friends forgotten about her?

Had Laurence Anderson forgotten about her?
