Fandom A Chance Meeting at Ilex Forest

[JessieSune]

"Okay," says Shelby with a smile, continuing to brush Danielle. "Neural activity leveling at 35 per cent. Subject remains only partially cognitive. Experiment successful -- waiting to see what happens when a subject is stored overnight."

The bottle of Akira has a warm glow surrounding it.

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle fails to notice the glow, the wonderful feeling at her back and sides taking most of her attention as she's closed her eyes.

 

[JessieSune]

Shelby keeps up the brushing for another six or seven minutes, then wordlessly brings in a heat lamp, which swivels, evenly blowing warm air over the well-groomed and much softened Pokemon.

"I'll go get you food," she says. "Then I'll take you home, alright?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Alright." Danielle said, slightly disappointed that she stopped brushing though the heat lamp felt nice. She took in the room for the first time since they arrived, and glanced over at Akira. "I wonder why they're glowing like that....wh..why aren't they out of their bottle yet?"

 

[JessieSune]

A few moments later, Shelby brings a bowl of fruit with more whipped cream on top.

"A sweet dinner for a sweet young lady!"

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle smiled and ate, though something nagged in the back of her mind. "H...how come Akira is still in the bottle?" She asked, though still eating her meal.

 

[JessieSune]

"We wanted to see what happened if they stayed here, remember? I also need to know what happens if a Pokemon stays bottled for a longer time. They agreed to it."

She goes back to brushing her Pokemon.

"You don't need to worry about those kinds of things."

 

[AmethystRoze]

As long as they agreed. She thought eating her meal and being brushed... she could just do this all day.. Shelby knew what she was doing.

 

[JessieSune]

After giving Danielle time to eat, Shelby lifts the Pokemon into the air and nuzzles her nose.

"Time to go home," she giggles.

 

[AmethystRoze]

She laid her head underneath Shelbys and smiled. "Ok... is Akira still in their bottle?"

 

[JessieSune]

"Yes," replies Shelby. "They're gonna stay in it until we come back tomorrow."

So saying, she tucks Danielle under her arm and starts out the door.

 

[AmethystRoze]

A little bit of distress entered Danielles mind...all night? They haven't tested whether the forest will stay safe or not.... "Are you sure they'll be ok?"

 

[JessieSune]

"I've already locked the bottle into my safe. No one's going to meet with Akira. They'll be fine. Promise."

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Alright...." She still felt a little uneasy, but she trusted Shelby, and she said that they would be safe.

 

[JessieSune]

The scientist shakes Danielle once to get a better grip, then starts on the path home.

"How you feeling?" She asks, kissing the Pokemon on the head.

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Kinda sleepy... I feel like my brains been massaged and its still all melty hehe."

 

[JessieSune]

"Yeah, I can believe it, considering you actually did melt. But all the readings I have indicate that you felt really good the whole time."

She smiles.

"She's not thinking about her mother. I think this process must be working perfectly!"

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Yeah... though I cant really remember much, it felt really nice... it's weird not being able to think well..." She said, still wondering about Akira some... something still felt wrong. But what?

 

[JessieSune]

"Well, given enough time I expect it will feel completely natural. We'll keep practicing it, so you should expect to be bottled up quite a bit, alright?"

And with that, they're home. Shelby gently sets Danielle down to see what she does.

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle simply stood there for a moment, not sure what to do, her mind was clearing ever so slowly. Bottled up a lot? but that means less tie spending together... I haven't seen Akira all day... Danielle sits to think about it.

"But... doesn't that mean we'll have less time to spend together?"

 

[JessieSune]

"Nope!" Shelby says cheerfully. "I have a device that I've been working on which allows me to interact with you when you're a liquid. Besides, time must be hard to measure like that, so it won't feel like you're missing out. Plus, when we get home, we can do this!"

She picks up Danielle and lightly tosses her into the air before catching her again.

 

[AmethystRoze]

Something about this seems wrong... She thought before being tossed up. She hadn't expected this and a large goofy grin could be seen on her face while she giggled lightly.

 

[JessieSune]

She tosses Danielle a few more times, then places her on the couch and flops on top of her.

"Who's such a soft and good girl?" She tousles her hair.

 

[AmethystRoze]

She took comfort that the answer was her and she didn't even have to ask. She simply nuzzled Shelby and made a noise similar to a cat purring.

 

[JessieSune]

Shelby laughs and begins to doze. The Ninetales is about to become the humans mattress and comforter all at once if she doesn't protest.
