"Hello..." a high feminine voice said cheerfully, "I am Nurse Joy, and this is Chansey." A light pink Pokémon squeaked happily. "Just leave your Pokémon here with me and we'll get 'em back into tip-top shape before no time!"

Michi walked into the small pokemon center,a Snorunt on her head and a wild Murkrow flying by her side. The Murkrow sleeping peacefully stirred (I have no idea what that means, I just read that alot in books. XD) but did not wake. She shuffled in her backpack, looking for the two pokeballs she needed. She walked over to the desk and asked, "Hello, I'm Michiko Akimoto! Do you heal wild pokemon?"

Nurse Joy looked up from a book. "Why, I suppose we can." She smiled, standing up from her chair. "This Murkrow looks terribly injured...we can take it right away!" She grabbed the crow-like Pokémon, put it onto a cart, and had her Chansey wheel it into a back room. "Well, we will do everything that we can. Hopefully this Murkrow will be as good as new. Now, could you just fill out this form?" She handed her a sheet with basic questions. Why...what...which Pokémon did what..etc.

Reg held open the door for Jesse and they both entered the 'Center. A sterile and bright building, kept in order by a woman with curling pink hair and a Chansey. A young girl in purple with black hair was waiting at the counter. Regina waved to Michi then excused herself to quickly make a phone call. There was a public phone with a screen, off to the side of the waiting room.

Jesse nodded his head quickly as he entered the Pokémon Center. "Thank you, Reggie." He smiled, stepping in and letting the door fall shut behind him. "I take it this is your friend?" He asked her before she got on the phone, fairly inquisitively. He turned and waved to Michi, the girl in the waiting room. "Hello, I am Jesse. It's great to meet you!" He smiled.

Reg nodded in assurance then turned and began dialing as Jesse introduced himself to Michi.
At first she didn't get an answer, so she dialed another number and after a few rings a face came up on the screen. His facial features were sharp and crows feet around the eyes betrayed his age, but other than that she looked a lot like him, except a little more feminine. Her eyes roamed over his face as he smiled in recognition, he looked exactly how she had left him. "Hey." She finally said, grinning back. "How are things back home Dad?" "Fine, we miss ya Reg. How are you doing?" "Swell. I got a Bulbasaur." She was hoping he wouldn't be disappointed that she chose grass instead of electric, he was but didn't show it. They exchanged a few more reserved words then he told her he missed her again. She hung up the phone after saying bye and stared off into space for a few seconds, thinking about many things. The egg wiggled and brought her back to reality, she turned back to Jesse and Michi, pasting a small smile on her face that she didn't feel.

"I must use the phone, as well." He told Reggie, seeming to see through her fake smile. "I have to call my mother. It's been ages since we have talked." He smiled and wandered to the corner where the phone sat. He quickly punched in a series of numbers, one after the other, until a woman appeared on the screen. "Hello?" She asked Jesse, suddenly realizing who it was. "Oh, it's been ages! Where have you been?!" "I have been hiding out near Aura Town for awhile. You know, helping the newbies." He had a smile on his face, actually glad to see his mother for once. "What have you and Dad been up to lately?" "Oh...he's just been training with his Fighting Pokémon, you know." Jesse stared for a moment. "Tell me, how's my dear old Machop, doing? Dad still keeping up with him?" He joked again, waiting for a reply. "Didn't he tell you? Well, he must have been too excited. Machop has evolved into Machoke...isn't it great?" She cried, not too into it, however. Jesse nodded again, simply staring at the telephone's screen. They went on and mumbled about his mother's water Pokémon, and especially his baby sister. "Well, I really must be going. Venusaur is really injured and I better get him to Nurse Joy... Bye, Mom!" She waved and smiled, and then hung up. He let out a sigh and approached the front desk. "Nurse Joy! Oh, Nurse Joy! Venusaur is here..." He set his Pokéball in a small 'deposit' box and walked back over to Reggie and Michi.

Reg was filling in Michi what she had learned from Officer Jenny, when Jesse came back.
"Should we work together? We might find more Raticate if we seperate, but I have a feeling I'd get lost if we did." She laughed a little.

Nurse Joy came from the back with a tray holding both Michi's and Jesse's injured Pokémon. "Thanks, Nurse Joy." Jesse told her, graciously accepting Venusaur's ball. She nodded quickly, turning towards Michi and handing her the other Pokéballs. "See you all later!" She smiled, stepping back to her desk to fill out some paperwork and help the several other trainers that were gathering in the building.
"Well, I suppose we could work together. It would be kind of interesting. THat way, I could give you some pointers, that is, if you would like my help?" He asked her, returning Venusaur's Pokéball to its place on his belt. "What do you say then, Reggie?"

Reg was perturbed for a moment until Chansey came up with a second tray behind Nurse Joy with a single pokeball on it. Without smiling, Reggie thanked the Pokemon assistant and plucked up her Bulbasaur's pokeball, gripping it in her fist. When it hadn't come on the first tray she had feared something bad had happened. Fairly relieved that she had jumped to the wrong conclusion, her shoulders relaxed, listening as Jesse replied. "I think that'd be brilliant." She answered honestly, wrapping her long coat tighter around herself and sticking her hands in her pockets. She vaguely remembered Michi telling her she wasn't sure she liked battling; narrowing her eyes a little in thought she turned to the younger girl. "Would you prefer to stay here? I think there are rooms upstairs where traveling trainers can stay the night. And I'm sure others will be coming straight to the Pokemon Center once they reach town, maybe you'll meet some new people that you can talk to if you're bored. Of course we'd love for you to come with us but only if you want to."

After arriving at Aura Town, Tina quickly chaind her bike to a rack in front of the Pokemon Center and bolted inside, holding her weak Squirtle in her arms. She zipped across the room to Nurse Joy's counter, panting as she spoke. "Spray- my Squirtle here- is really really weak! Nurse Joy, please, can you help me?" she asked worriedly, for it was her first time at the Pokemon Center and, like humans, she wasn't sure if Pokemon could fully recover from something as well.
"And I also have Tack, my Zigzagoon here, too. She's awefully weak as well, but I think Spray looks worse! Is something wrong? I don't think that's the usual 'faint' of a Pokemon." Tina added, balling her fists nervously on the counter as she laid Spray and Tack's Pokeball in front of Nurse Joy. Spray did look worse than the usual faint, she thought. Its forehead was oddly warm and reddish after the battle, and it seemed to be shivering and trembling in her arms on the way here.

Nurse Joy, who had been sitting at her desk filling out paper work, turned and looked up towards Tina. She smiled and stood up, opening her mouth to speak. "I will check it out, but don't become too worried. It's probably nothing more than Spray being weak after its first ever battle. We get some of these cases every once in awhile. But, again, Chansey and I will check it out just to be on the safe side. Please, just have a seat with the others over there," She pointed to the waiting room as she scooped up the Pokéballs, "and we will be with you momentarily." She smiled and walked into the back room to tend to the Pokémon, her Chansey following close behind her.
After only a few minutes, she and the bulbous pink Chansey came out, the doors swinging shut behind them. "Well, we did all we could for Spray, but she should be fully recovered within a day. Just a fever---probably from nervousness or anxiety from its first battle. Please, don't be too worried. Oh, and here's a piece of sugar-free candy for each of them for being so good!" She winked, dropping two or three pieces into Tina's hand. "Have a safe trip!"

Ooc:; Hey Jesse, if Michi doesn't post soon should we continue on and say she chose to stay at the Center? If she wants to come with us she can just say her charrie changed her mind and left to go find them, or she does want to stay in the Center then it's good.

Ooc:; Yeah, it's been eight days since her last post. D; Bic:; One of the local trainers came in with her friend complaining about three Raticate that were harassing the town's grocery store, trying to get in. "We'll see you later Mich!" Reg called out while leaving the Center with Jesse. Ooc:; Let's head back to the other forum.

Ooc: I'm really sorry I haven't been posting, I was grounded for a whole week.
Bic: Michi realized that she had just been standing there for the whole time. She suddenly fumbled with Runty's pokeball. The red light enveloped the small pokemon, both dissapearing in an instant. She put the pokeballs on the counter. She gently laid the sleeping Murkrow on the counter and gestured the other to go with Nurse Joy. " I'm so sorry. I'm a bit of an airhead so I zoned out a bit too long. I'm Michiko Akimoto. Call me Michi," she said, smiling. She directed herself towards Nurse Joy and asked, "Do you have any rooms I can stay in for the night?"

Before Nurse Joy could answer, Michi immedietly turned herself towards Reggie and said, "No thanks, I don't feel like doing any more battling today. One battle a day at most is enough for a beginner like me. When Runty gets fixed up, I'm just going to hang around the center."

"Thank you, Nurse Joy!" Tina said gratefully, clipping two Pokeballs onto the right strap of her backpack before being jumped on by the energetic Squirtle. "Spray! You're alright! That's terrific!" she exclaimed, hugging the tiny turtle Pokemon. "Squirtle Squirt!" it replied, burying its face happily in her arms. "Well, I heard the next town has a Gym -- the first one, actually. Maybe we should start training and catching more Pokemon, hmm, Spray?" Tina suggested, looking down at Spray.
The Squirtle gave a large smile, silently saying it was up for anything. Tina grinned, patting Spray on the head after it jumped out energetically out of her arms. "Alright, but first let's get some supplies at the PokeMart. Maybe even get some lunch while we're on it." she added, sitting down on a comfy chair and swinging her backpack onto her lap. She took out her Pokedex and slipped it into her jacket pocket. She zipped the backpack closed, then swung it around again. "Alright, let's go!" She exclaimed, running out of the Pokemon Center with Spray by her side.

Reggie, with the help of Jesse and Beldum, came inside the 'Center and set four pokeballs on the counter. They rolled a bit until Nurse Joy plucked them up and set them on the tray, then pushed a few buttons on the machine and it whirred into action, a red light blinking. Reg had previously decided she would stay until she got her Pokemon safely back, then she'd head to one of the rooms upstairs to sleep. The egg was held fast in her arm, and she couldn't wait to change out of her dripping wet clothes. "Are any of the rooms occupied?" Nurse Joy turned to face her with a smile. "Only a few, but most are empty. The ones that are occupied have a sign hanging on the handle." The phone rang and she left to answer it, excusing herself politely. It was Officer Jenny, letting Nurse Joy know what had happened, and that it was confirmed they had been looking for something and didn't find it. Reg couldn't help but listen in, feeling she was responsible for Team Opal's escape. Her fist clenched, though her face remained blank and didn't show her frustration, she stared at the ground fiercely.

Ooc: What should the item be?
Bic: Jesse stood next to Reggie, listening in on Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny's telephone conversation. They were being awefully quiet and muffling their voices, so Jesse heard only a very minute amount. "Yes...They came to take...." Followed by Officer Jenny's voice, "They are...Astra City....get it." Jesse hated eavesdropping and always has, but he had to know what exactly they were talking about. Nurse Joy, noticing Jesse's blank stare towards her, turned around and walked as far back from them as she could, making her voice ever so meek. Unable to hear anything by this point, Jesse noticed Reggie staring hard down at the ground. Concerned, he inquired, "Is something wrong, Reggie?"

Ooc:; Hmmmm...Maybe a brand new stone (you know like a water stone or a sun stone). But we're not sure what Pokemon it will make evolve. Or what that Pokemon will evolve into...dun dun dun. XD
Bic:; "I'm just tired." She mumbled back, looking up. She supposed this was true too. While Joy was on the phone, Chansey took over and pulled the tray out of the machine when it stopped beeping, cheerily handing Reg's Pokemon to her. Reggie nodded, put her pokeballs back on her belt and took a deep breath. "Can you help me up to one of the rooms Jesse?" She asked, glancing at the stairs ruefully.

Jesse nodded, getting closer to Reggie to let her lean on him again, "I will gladly help you..." He sighed, "If you need to lean on me, you can." He turned towards the set of stairs, looking them up and down. "Well, I suppose I would need help in your condition, too." He smiled, "You ready?" With that, he began walking towards the steps, Reggie's arm drooped over his shoulder. "I am tired too, so don't worry. I can't wait for a good nights rest." He let out a big yawn as they reached the foot of the steps.

Glad for the support, they made it up the steps to a hall filled with doors, only two of them had signs saying 'occupied' on the handles. Reg opened one of the empty ones and thanked Jesse, saying she could take it from there. On the neatly made bed in the plainly furnished room was a sign, she hung it on the door and said goodnight to Jesse with a small smile. "And Beldum, you should go back to Ashton before he starts to worry." She ran her fingers over the psychic Pokemon's cool metal 'forehead' and whispered goodnight to it too before it began floating back downstairs.
