Fandom A Chance Meeting at Ilex Forest

[AmethystRoze]

She doesn't, wrapping her tails around her trainer as they sleep.

 

[JessieSune]

She wakes up to find another omelette nearby her resting place.

"Ready to go see Akira later?" asks Shelby with a smile. "How's my soft girl?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle eats the omelet gratefully and nodded. "I feel really good"

 

[JessieSune]

"Then we'll leave when you're ready!" Shelby hugs the Pokemon.

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Alright" She said, before thinking about things with a fresh mind for the for the first time in 24 hours. "Wait.... is the forest ok!?" She asked, now urhent... how could she not have thought about it before?

 

[JessieSune]

"I haven't heard of anything bad happening to it," replies Shelby. "I don't see why it wouldn't be okay -- its life is stored safely in the lab, remember?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

Daniele calmed at this.. Shelby said it was ok... "But.. wait Akiras been liquefied all night... and... I thought we didn't know if she could still power it if she was this far from it.."

 

[AmethystRoze]

Her thoughts betraying her she shook her head, Shelby said it'd be alright but...

 

[JessieSune]

"Well, I ran some calculations. Akira's power radius is not tied to geography, but rather to her own nature and makeup. Basically, unless you were to slingshot her into outer space, the forest would be safe. Which means she can stay with you no matter where you go."

She looks concerned. "What's wrong?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

"I.. im not sure...it feels like my minds been in a blender.... I haven't been able to think straight for awhile..." She said wincing just a little.

 

[JessieSune]

Shelby nods. "Do you think it would help if we saw Akira back as a Pokemon again?

"Subject's return to normalcy appears to have caused stressors -- I'll have to think of a way to make her not be anxious about the process upon returning."

 

[AmethystRoze]

"I...im not sure... my head feels weird..." She shook her head, something in her core told her something was wrong.... "I.. It hurts to think.."

 

[JessieSune]

Shelby looks genuinely concerned now. "Okay, into your ball, honey."

A few minutes later Danielle finds herself back in the Aromatherapy machine.

"This will be quick, alright, honey? Don't be anxious."

 

[AmethystRoze]

Despite her trainers wishes her anxiety levels were high, her brow was furrowed, when she tried to think she felt pain.... but Shelby knew what was best... didn't she? It was so hard to tell.

 

[JessieSune]

Once again, the smells, the colors, the videos fill her senses.

The floor begins to shake, the Pokemon to soften.

"Please don't be scared," Shelby whispers. "I'll never forgive myself if this has harmed you."

Akira is still bottled, the bots, still charging.

 

[AmethystRoze]

Danielle, despite her stress, is relaxed upon the machine turning on the familiar sights and scents doing their job as her mind shut off and her body lost all tension.

 

[JessieSune]

The process is much faster this time. Pretty soon the Ninetales is back inside a bottle, which Shelby removes and shakes.

"It's okay, sweetheart."

She attaches what looks like a rubber circle to it.

"You can hear me, right honey?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Mmhmm" She said, even in her mind she sounded sleepy and relaxed.

 

[JessieSune]

"What had you so stressed out?" The voice is gentle, soothing -- and it's really the only thing Danielle can sense.

 

[AmethystRoze]

"I didn't..... like that Akira was.... being stored so long....and it started to hurt when I tried to think." She said, not so much thinking as it was just answering

 

[JessieSune]

"Do those things still worry you? Does it still hurt to think?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

"I don't know... Im not thinking."

 

[JessieSune]

"Want me to think for you?"

 

[AmethystRoze]

"Sure..."

 

[JessieSune]

"You don't mind if Akira is stored. You don't mind being stored yourself. It feels good, and it doesn't hurt to think."
