María nodded and let Imogen pass to the bathroom. She'd decided to buy some almonds for Imogen... hopefully she'd like them, if not, María could always eat them, they were one of her favourite snacks. "Thanks," María said and then laid on the bed, now feeling tired after her shower. All that walking and running and healing and fighting and talking throughout the day had taken its toll on her, and she was now feeling it more than ever. Juli seemed as tired, too, for she laid on Mari's lap and curled up there, looking at Rosie and waving to her.

María laid there, pondering how the day had gone in such an unintended but cool but also dumb way. Quite like Imogen, actually. Imogen... she wondered what would happen to them after today. How would travelling together be? Would Imogen start to hate her in due time? Or will she like her more? It was rather... gloomy to think about it. Thankfully, Imogen got out of the bath. Then she walked up to the bed and sat on it.

"Great. Uh... yeah, let's sleep, right? We have beast to fight," she couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly. Yes, she still didn't like the idea of fighting a beast, it was dangerous... maybe she needed to be a bit more gallant but, shit, she didn't want her and Imogen and everyone to be in such danger, even less after fighting a Pinsir to the death. She'd have to do her best. She was feeling a bit nervous about sleeping with Imogen but... she had to appear tough. She moved a bit to make space for imogen and waited for her to lay down. "It's not that chilly so I don't think I'll need the blankets..."
 
Imogen noticed that Maria had went to get some almonds, She smiled as she went to help herself to the bag of almonds. Then she poured some into her hand and started eating them. " Sorry Mari, Just one of those cravings I get. But your right we do need to get some rest." Imogen walked to a counter and set the last bit of almonds there. She moved towards the bed, letting out a small yawn and laid down on the bed next to Maria. " Nope, it's the perfect weather for well...uh...sleeping ? " she questioned shifting her pupils upwards. Then she rolled them and began to slowly close her eyes.

" Night Maria..." she spoke softly, then waved upwards. " Night Sable, Rosie and of course you too Juli. " Imogen paused at saying Juli's name. Smiling, she began to sleep. " Swablu ! ( Night you two. ) " Sable said then turning to Rosey, " Night night. " Sable turned her head hopping past Rosie then towards Juli. " And you too Juli, try not to be too loud. " Sable said, being a little petty about from earlier on how Juli told her to stay out of trouble. Sable flew up towards the top of a cabinet and rested her feet at the edge. Closing her eyes, wrapping her fluffy wings around her. Rosie watched as she smiled, " Good night Sable and you too Juli. " She sat down and closed her petal hands around her as rose hair wrapped itself to close as well.

As time passed it was around 11 PM, a noise could be heard in a distance of some wailing. Then following it was large tree crashing down. Imogen hopped up out of bed as she grabbed her pillow. " W-what....huh..."she mumbled sleepily, gripping the pillow like a sword. She made her way to the window, Imogen thought she heard something. Looking around outside, their was nothing out of the ordinary. All the lights in town we're off, expect the restaurant and few late night stores. Looking down at the ground, She saw a Patrat running around. " What kind of Pokemon is that..." she thought, Imogen didn't really know a lot of Pokemon outside of the Hoenn region, The Patrat ran in Imogen's vision of sight with jewelry around it's neck. It run out of Imogen's sight, where it went. Who knows, Imogen looked at Maria wondering if she heard the noise outside.

María giggled slightly at Imogen's silliness, as she shuffled on the bed. Juli said goodnight back to everyone, rolled her eyes a bit at Sable at the comment, then clambered up to the bed, nuzzled a moment on Imogen's leg, then went to María and snuggled up on her legs, like a cat. "Good night, 'gen," said María, and closed her eyes. It wasn't easy for her to fall sleep, and she barely remembered a time she'd slept with other people in the same bed.

María moved around a lot and almost as soon as she was able to sleep, she groggily woke up as she heard Imogen was making noise. Why? She didn't know, but it didn't take much time for her to be met with Imogen's gaze, who was standing near the window, presumably looking at something outside. Juli was still sleeping soundly, so she moved out of bed as lightly and slowly as she could and walked up to where Imogen was. "Uhm, is anything wrong, 'gen?" she said, yawning and looking confused at Imogen.
 
Imogen turned to Maria, " Good ! You're up. " she grabbed up a sleepy looking Sable. "I saw a odd looking Pokemon outside, it looked like it was stealing stuff..." she said with a slightly worried look. She gripped Sable towards her body as Sable groaned and unleashed a flurry of pecks at Imogen's arm as she quickly dropped her. " Ouch !! Sable ! " she yelled in a huff with her cheeks puffed out, as Sable hopped up and lightly pecked Rosie who was sleeping. She didn't wake Juli since she was Maria's Pokemon, a rule she used to follow was to never wake a Pokemon that wasn't to a registered trainer. So she hopped on the same bed Maria was.

Imogen wasn't in that much pain, but it did sting a little. " I think we should get going, whenever your raring and read to go ! " she said pumping her fist into the air, with shines of excitement in her eyes. Both to get her fertilizer and to see what was going on at night. She quickly put her sandals on, Rosie soon stepped up leaning her head on Sable's own head too. Imogen then began looking out at the window again, she focused her attention towards Maria. " But I'll happily wait for you. " she said putting her hands behind her back, giving a soft smile as she shifted her body side to side. She was excited but she also didn't wanna ditch her new friend behind either. Given Imogen had no battle experience it would be dangerous for her to trek alone anyways.

Items: Brown Backpack (inside: notepad (the pages where the berries were shown in the book 'Ancient History of Pokemon, Volume 5', to 'be careful when growing the Moon Berry', some possible nicknames for Imogen—Immy, Mo, Genna, Gen..., Director Flora's number, info about the beast and the odd Pokemon), 'Ancient History of Pokemon Vol. 5')



Stealing stuff? Now that was... odd, to say the least, thought María. But if Imogen said it, there was no reason not to trust her. What could that Pokemon have been stealing and... was it related to the beast!? María had to know now... maybe they were partners in crime... or maybe María was connecting dots where there were none. She made a mental note to pull out her notebook as soon as possible and jot those things down. Not even the lights were on, though, so first she'd entertain Imogen a little, it seemed like she'd just woken up too. But of course, her and Sable's shenanigans seemed to be eternal, for Sable was woken up in a rush and she pecked Imogen's arm repeatedly. María almost facepalmed at the scene. Well... she wouldn't readily admit it, but she liked this side of Imogen, just natural and funny like that, so she smiled a tiny bit.

She pet Sable when she came to the bed, and whispereds something along the lines of 'now don't be so huffy with your trainer, we've all woken up just now...', then she caressed Juli's fur, trying to slightly wake her up.

"Now, now, don't be too excited... my dear 'gen," she said, placing the palms of her hands together, as if praying. "First, we don't want to go headfirst without any preparations, do we? So... check if you have all you need to fight the beast and then I need you to tell me later all the details of that odd Pokemon... I'll go change in the bathroom so you can change here," María said, calmly. She wanted to look cool... ahem, deal with this situation as soundly as possible. Juli was waking up, but she decided to stay in bed a bit more... meanwhile, María grabbed her backpack and went to the bathroom to change.

Once in the bathroom, she jotted down, just below Director Flora's number, that Imogen had spotted an odd Pokemon that had apparently stolen something and that this Pokemon could be connected to the beast. Then she changed into her old outfit... she didn't want to, but it didn't make sense to get another outfit dirty, so the green trousers and the flannel shirt would have to suffice.
 
Imogen slightly blushed a bit surprising she spoke so blazen, Espically dear ? Quite a surprise and she even cupped her hands together too. She looked at Maria as she calmed down. " Well, ok Mari...I will be a lot calmer. Ok ? " After watching Maria done in the bathroom, she made her way inside. Freshen up a bit as she fixed her hair a bit. She was already dressed, technically and plus she didn't want to miss what got the trainers hurt. So Imogen lightly hold Maria hand as Sable and Rosie followed the two. Assuming Juli wasn't far behind.

The Patrat saw the two girls, surprised. " Pat-Pat ! " ( What ?! Why are people here and they aren't even sleeping...) The Patrat yelled, Sable understood it perfectly as she flew up looking at Imogen for a command. Imogen was about to send Sable after it, But the Patrat started dashing away, chanting in it's Pokemon language, " You weak Pokemon will never stop us ! " Sable growled a little and flied off ahead. Rosie, " Ros-selia ! ( Sable wait please ! ) " Imogen's eyes widened as she started to race off ahead.

She couldn't let anything happen to Sable, Imogen would never be able to forgive herself if she was injured. She ran as quickly as she could, the Patrat dashed into the bushes where it lead to the forest in Route 111, passing through inside the forest. It got darker, she hardly could see. So she took out her Pokenav and pressed the flashlight icon on the screen of it. Imogen heard whispers as she tripped on something. " Ouch..." she mumured, looking back she a male on the ground. As she screamed out loudly, The male groaned a bit as he turned his head to Imogen. " D-don't go any further in there...Pokemon...there...a huge one..." Imogen helped the man up, leaning him aganist a tree. " You wait there ok..." she saw Rosie had caught up as she grabbed herself onto Imogen's arm. Pulling her not to go. " Rosie..." she raised up her arm easily lifting Rosie up. " We gotta save Sable..."

A loud Pokemon roared in the forest, The Pokemon roared again as a series of tweets could be heard. Rosie listened, " T-that's Sable...and the loud Pokemon...I can't recognize it.." The man looked up at Imogen, " Their isn't much time...that Pokemon has taken down so many of us...and scared a away of lot of the Pokemon that live here too..."
 
Well, María was... kinda getting accostumed to holding Imogen's hand now. Maybe Imogen just did it out of comfort or whatever, but for María it was pretty special and still got her hopes and attitude up. She followed Imogen by the hand, keeping up with her pace, didn't want to let her go face that Pokemon alone... even though she'd forgot to tell her what she knew about the Pokemon, they were now in front of it, it was a Patrat.

Juli followed behing, huffying a bit, trying to keep up the pace. All was a blur as Sable sped off in the distance of the Patrat who'd shouted at them. Was this what Imogen and Mari were looking for? Juli guessed the Patrat was the Pokemon that Imogen had seen. Juli was paralysed, she wanted to go help Sable, but was it safe, why had Sable gone?! She was frozen in place and didn't know what to do... out of the blue, Imogen sped away, and María had to let go of her hand because of how quickly she was running.

María and Juli eventually caught up to Imogen, and they saw Rosie grabbing herself to Imogen's hand, then being pulled up, and Imogen talking to a man who mentioned a weird Pokemon... was it the beast? Imogen was dead-set on saving Sable, and María suddenly wanted to give it her all both for gen and Sable.

María suddenly grabbed Imogen's hand, and pulled her away: "Hey, let's go, let's save Sable, I've got your back" she whispered. Juli was on her shoulder now, nodding. María had no idea what she was doing... was this too bold? Annoying!? No, but they needed to save Sable. She cupped one of Imogen's hand on both of hers and, with reddening cheeks, said: "I'll protect you, okay? We gotta get Sable back and beat that beast..." yes, she was probably repeating herself, and it was dumb... but such a dangerous time as this, it was as dumb as it could get in her scale. And, well, she and Juli weren't the best at fighting, but they'd do their very best... they had a brain, had to count for something, right? She patted Rosie, who was on Imogen's lap, to reassure her, and led Imogen to where the cries were heard... well, Imogen was the one who'd take the lead, most probably, but she felt like she had to do something anyways.
 
Imogen looked at Maria, Giving a confidant smile. " No time to blushing now. " she said as Imogen herself blushed a small tint of red across her cheeks. Rosie followed behind, What Imogen saw was something she wasn't prepared for. It was none other than a large Salamence however this was much larger than most. It's red wings we're colored a vibrant pink. It's blue dragon skin was black. However it's Dragon wings looked to resemble butterfly wings with various markings on it's back. The Salamence seemed to be angry, It roared as a light pink energy flowed around it. The energy seperated from it's body.

Creating flowered shaped energy as it fired away cutting down trees and knocking across some wild Pokemon in it's path. Sable itself dodged out of the way, She went to peck at the Salamence's wings. But Salamence quickly countered swatting away with it's claws. Sable flew backwards crashing into some bushes. It chirped itself. The Salamence cried out in a roar, " I was told to protect this path. Fly away little bird...Or else I will have to really show you pain..." ( Salamence ! ) she spoke to the Pokemon. Sable struggled upwards as the Salamence stomped towards Sable. Imogen quickly ran as she grabbed a rock off the ground and threw it at Salamence's head. The Salamence blinked as she turned around to face Imogen, It glared it's eyes as fire slowly formed around it's mouth. " Maria ! Juli ! Stay back ! " she yelled to them as she scooped Rosie in her hand and ran off. The Salamence blew out a large path of pink flames where Imogen formely was.

The Salamence roared looking around as it started to fly upwards. " More of you trainers again..." ( S-Salamence ! ). She flew higher in the sky, Imogen could see Salamence was in the air. Imogen looked around, She could hear Sable crying out a bit. She moved to where Sable was. Imogen set Rosie down, " I'm here you birdbrain..." she pulled out of dress pocket Sable's Pokeball. " You're in no condition to fight..." Sable pecked the Pokeball out of her hand, It looked like she wanted to keep fighting. Rosie looked up tugging Imogen's dress as a large gust of wind was in the air. The Salamence flew downward as Imogen fell flat down, Dodging the Salamence's air assault.

María smiled wholeheartedly. She felt like they were... pretty close right now. That was good. But soon enough she was amazed at the... peculiarly fantastic Salamence that stood in front of them. Instead of red wings, they were pink. Instead of blue skin, it was black. The wings were more like a butterfly's than a dragon's... what was this!? María wanted to get her notebook out and jot all of this down... she'd have to remember, now wasn't the time. And... heck! Why didn't she buy a camera yet!? Dumb. But... first they'd need to get out alive, her brain got ahead of herself by hours.

The Salamence was enveloped in a pink aura that it then fired into a ball. María was, more or less, petrified. Imogen moved so fast, she was so reckless! Hell, she'd have to scold her later! Sable was really hurt, and Imogen could be next... what could María do? Juli, though, knowing her trainer's slowness, had already begin casting some moves. She started with an Icy Wind, gracefully crafted but sloppily executed, that froze the air slightly and decreased the Salamence's speed, so that Imogen could dodge its air assault. The Salamence then turned its attention to Juli, who was preparing her moves alongside María. Juli could barely concetrate on her moves, she heard the Salamence but could only say "Vulpix! Vulpix... (Stop attacking us! We haven't done anything...)" as she prepared her moves in a life-or-death battle.

Juli eyes shone brightly, and subsequently, as she was able to prepare Disable, the pink shot move of the Salamance was disabled for a few minutes... supposedly, or at least, however it lasted, Juli was of course not as strong as the Salamence, so it might not last long. The Salamence was confused and retreated for a moment, as it wasn't able to prepare its pink aura. "Salamence!! (What have you done!!)".

María took this chance and hugged Juli close, lifting her up, then running to Imogen's side. "'gen, you okay!? Sable, how's she?" She was worried sick for Imogen. "We need to keep our distance with the Salamence, what shall we do?"
 
Imogen looked over at Maria as Rosie moved close to her trainer, Shaking a bit out of nervousness. " What to do..." she whispered, Sable was pretty hurt. Beside that, It didn't look like any ordinary Salamence either. Something she did notice. The Salamence flew overhead of them as a large gust of wind blew across there faces from the Pokemon's wings. It did look very powerful, However she noticed from where she was. Looking up at the Salamence, The dragon itself looked very injured. " It's injured Maria." she whispered. The dragon flew and hovered in the air.

It's beautiful butterfly patterned wings showing in the pale moonlight. She looked down for the girls and the other Pokemon. It roared out loudly. " Salamence !!! ( I don't have all day ! Last chance you baby Pokemon...Scatter or face the burning flames once again. ) It sounded like to the Pokemon, Well to Rosie's ears. She sounded like she wanted to end the fight. Rosie tapped Imogen's shoulder. " I'm glad your safe Maria. " she said as she softly rubbed Maria's arm, Then she turned to Rosie. " What's wrong ? " Rosie pointed upwards then clenched her leaf hands. " What...fight..." She looked at Sable who quietly chirped, It looked ready to continue fighting but it was in no way ready to take on that Pokemon.

" Maria ? We definitely need Julie for this. I don't think this thing can find us. " Before Imogen could finish, The Salamence charged at the ground again, She clawed away trees and various other foliage around looking for the girls. " Rosie, Use Sweet Scent in that direction. " Rosie nodded as she jumped up and created a pink mist around the forest in hopes to distract the Salamence.

María felt strangely at ease, in such a hazardous situation, having Imogen beside her. When Imogen rubbed her arm, she almost jumped, she wasn't expecting it, but it was nice to have someone trust her so much... it wasn't a feeling she was accustomed to. She nodded, "I--I'm glad too," we must prepare, we must be safe, we must... that's all she thought, but couldn't say, words got stuck on her throat. She didn't want anything to end here... she was really losing her mind. She wanted to keep on living with Imogen, to keep talking to her... she couldn't leave Juli alone... and Rosie and Sable and everyone. The air was getting colder and colder.

María started shivering slightly. She looked at Sable, it was hurt... no way she could keep on fighting, no matter how tough she wanted to maker herself look. The Salamence roared. Rosie tapped Imogen's shoulder, what could she be trying to convey? Imogen instructed Rosie to use a move, maybe that'd keep the Salamence distracted. Meanwhile, she hugged Juli tightly, caressing her fur. Then let her out so she could try another move, she seemed to want to help. The air got even colder, even the Salamence was feeling the cold now. A frozen, unstable gust came out of Juli's direction and passed through the Salamence, who seemed affected and even more disoriented. It was Icy Wind! Now hopefully the Salamence would have an even harder time finding them... maybe Juli was preparing another move? María saw her, and she was huffing and tired.

"'Gen, should we try to move backwards away from the Salamence?" she asked her, hoping she was alright with retreating back... but still, "to rest a bit, I think Juli needs to rest a bit to be able to hit Salamence with another powerful attack... plus, Sable like that..." María said, her voice shivering, herself shivering by the cold. Imogen must be feeling it by now too.
