Going grocery shopping in war times feels surreal and yet is happening right now. Katharina isn't really sure what to think of it, but hey, there's things to need and stuff to do, as ever. And soon, he'd also have to hop on over to Ever Grande and the other places, so actually, being at his second home right now isn't even too bad ... It grants a vague feeling of escapism until he'd be ready to high-kick reality once more.

Katharina doesn't want to be here, but the call for a possible evolution of his Dewott calls him here after all ... "Are you feeling anything yet?" he asks Numbahs, who shakes her head. She does seem to focus on something as she looks at the lightning-riddled skies above, if that's actually really sky.

Probably not, now that Katharina thinks about it ...

And before he knows it, Numbahs leaped onward with precision that he's gotten to learn is part of her, even if she's also very calm and chill else. But that move ... "You should've evolved then ... and with this, too?" The distortion seems to really do a number on Numbahs - she just used both Sucker Punch and Ceaseless Edge, moves that she definitely shouldn't know yet! That's definitely not the change he expected.

"... hey, Teein. I love you deeply, darling, but what the fuck."

Katharina stares at the crystals surrounding her and and the Natu as they find themselves in a location absolutely not known to her at all. "Is that also part of that Giant Chasm?" She only wanted to have a look at the flora there, see if there's anything interesting that she could use, but then something appeared out of the blue, Teein panicked and now they're here.

"Honey, I'm not sure if we're any safer here than with that beast," she adds as she squints at the crystals. They seem to burst with energy in all their brilliance, and she has the feeling that this is possibly not a good sign here. "Do you think you can get us out again?"

Katharina's a fairly on-the-point woman, doing things as they come. Still, there's also a patience to them that they truly need in their profession, and they nod affirmatively at Genevieve repeating their name. "Yep, that's me," they also verbally confirm with a grin before readying to depart to the treatment room, helping Genevieve into the crutches where needed before taking place next to her, walking alongside her steadily.

Despite making the appearance of going many miles per hour, Katharina actually naturally adjusted to the patient's speed, capturing it and walking comfortably without making the impression of being in a hurry. They have time, and if Katharina would have to fight Arceus for it. They haven't noticed before that the Yamper's missing his hind legs, but smiles faintly at the fact that he certainly doesn't seem to be inhibited by this. The wheels are something part of Katharina would like to examine closer, but they stop that urge for now.

"Healing's unfortunately rarely easy ... even a little scratch can itch like hell," Katharina replies honestly, "but we'll take it easy and steady. Things won't get better just because you force it - even with painful things, gotta listen to your body when it's too much." They smile encouragingly, before gesturing for Genny to take a seat first. "I'll clean and patch up, if needed, the wounds on your face first and talk to you about what's the plan for today? If you got any questions, let me know anytime."

First war and now other strange appearances - truly it seems that Hoenn is built different, and perhaps also built on various anomalies. At least it would explain quite a bit about how they've suddenly come to face a glowing, abnormally large pokémon.

"What even is it?!" Katharina screeches as she dodges an attack, not able to set clear sight on the brightly coloured pokémon. There's one moment of hesistancy about bringing out their big guns, but this truly is a big gun moment. "Alright, here goes nothing-" A Roaring Moon appears on the field, incredibly large and really intimidating.

"Hold it off! XY, how's you?!"

Katharina hasn't expected that Hoenn would prove that chaotic. And that ... violent. While she's been spared the details by simply being in Fortree at the other end of it all, unaware yet of how to follow digital news outside of the Tower, it's ... seeing the results, the end of it is enough to make her shiver with a cold more freezing than ice.

What is this all for, she can't help but wonder as she clocked in that morning into the Ever Grande pokémon center. Not her actual assignment - that one's with Rocket now. She's been travelling more than usual even with her (affectionately) unreliable Natu-Teleport, seeing here and there where more hands were needed.

And today ... The list of wounds is horrifying to say the least. And it's nothing unusual amongst the front fighters of this war that has erupted, something she might see even more often ... She lets out a big sigh before smoothing out the wrinkles in her expression and walking out towards the lobby to fetch her patient.

"Genevieve Cromwell-?" she reads aloud, looking - and immediately, her steps are audible (sturdy shoes that sound like high heels but aren't) as she rushes towards the red-haired. "Dear, I have to ask you to not do that again ... I know it's tempting, but please. Healing skin is very sensitive." She just stops herself from actively touching the patient and takes a step back, assessing the situation - at least it doesn't seem like any skin's been broken, opened anew.

"I'm Kat, or Katharina if you got the breath for it," she then introduces herself with a half-smile - professional but still with a friendly edge (literally) as she's cross-checking some notes on her file, making sure she actually got the right person. Behind her, an Audino does a better job at being welcoming, smiling and waving at Genny and her Yamper. "If you could come with me now ... if there's any support you need, do let me know immediately."

Kat has extended a hand in case Genny might need support, but would also be happy to take her arm back as she walks towards the treatment room at a moderate pace.

Froschl seems to mimic Katharina's roll-up-sleeves motion from earlier, just with a distinct lack of sleeves. He does, however, have a fair amount of sticky honey all over himself, which provides a very slimey coat. (Honestly, if you think about it too much, it's a lot.) He carefully starts getting honey glue over the splinters without injuring himself, as ... "Ohh, another frog!" Katharina exclaims excitedly at the appearance of Greninja.

Seeing his fellow kin, Froschl also appears quite excited, making his best ribbit sound in greeting (which, over the years, has become awfully convincing if he concentrates on it). "Then we should have that plank fixed in no time to carry the debris!"

KING WAYLAND

Katharina looks slightly irritated and maybe indignant at King's laugh, but the creases are smoothed over by the explanation that followed. "Oh, I see ... no worries about that," they gave him a thumbs-up, "Suppose not everyone's dealing with explosions most of the time. ... which is also an exaggeration." Still, even as they're really careful and all, just one wrong calculation and there's a little bit of a fire.

"That looks like a good spot!" she agrees, carefully placing her plank over there. "Actually, Froschl, let's see if you can glue these two together, and we can see if we can put everything on the plank, make it easier to move later?"

KING WAYLAND

With a little bit of roughing up and just resilience, the Skrelp gladly move onto another target. "I hope they won't make too much trouble out there," Katharina remarks as Froschl returns, licking his roughled honey-covered fur skin, "But you little guys are really sturdy, hm?"

But back at the situation at hand ... and the situation is fairly bad. She sighs - you're barely a week here and everything's going down the drain (and how correct she might be, considering the tensions). "Alright, think that should be doable. Do you have a designated spot for the movable rubble?" she asks the other, carefully lifting a fallen wodden plank that's splintered in half, with Froschl moving to drag the other half. She holds it steadily, but gingerly as well - splinters are the last thing she needed under her skin.
