I said get out of the way!

[Morning, Johto. Enjoy your very early morning wake up call. No, seriously, it's early. The sun's not even up-early. Lightning normally sleeps through this time of day, so why is she on the network? ...Well, she's not exactly on it by choice. Her Pokemon have the gear again, and it's showing that a nurse is trying to stop a very pale and rather shaky Lightning from leaving the Center, but considering she's dressed and with a pair of Lucario's at her side, she's not going to be stopped. At all.]

Miss Farron, if you'll just calm down--

Calm down? I just spent the past six hours puking my guts out while you ran around like headless chocobos trying to fix a problem that shouldn't have happened, and you expect me to calm down? [She scoffs at that, moving to shove past, but the nurse bars her passage yet again.]

Miss Farron, the poison is still affecting your body. If you'd sit down and let us help-

[Now Lightning snarls, and it's still rather intimidating despite looking like she's going to fall at any second.]

Help? Like when you somehow didn't notice someone go into my room in the middle of the night and let this happen? I don't need your help. I can handle this myself.

[The nurse aims to protest again, but Lightning doesn't listen and she goes around, hobbling out of the Center on crutches while not looking back even as the feed shorts out with a startled "Pika!". It never comes on again, but those who go out looking for her will find her on the porch of Minnie's house, sitting on one of the chairs with her head in her hands, that pair of Lucarios and a Pikachu nearby so she isn't alone. She really doesn't look well, either, so their concern is probably warranted.]

[ooc: due to plottings, Lightning spent the night badly poisoned and is now rather freaked out because, well, no idea who did it! :3 My thanks to both Cobra-mun and Kimblee-mun for this plot, it's been fun!]

I wouldn't be so sure in this place.

_{[Could be dry humour, but he mostly says it straight. Because in all honesty ... in a world where there are living rock snakes, just to START with, you really can't expect to know what to do if you gear up in a cave somewhere.]}

True, but you're less likely to run into people in a cave. We can deal with everything else easier than with humans if we have our teams with us.

[Well. Everything other than certain more aggressive mons. Those are worse than humans sometimes. At least humans can be turtleflipped.]

_{[And also at least humans aren't magical (OOOH what little do these people know). Their strength is strategy and ulterior motives, really - which of course is not to be underestimated and she does have a fair point.]}

We'd also be trapped rather neatly should someone figure our hiding place out.

_{[It'd be a double-edged sword, the metaphorical cave.]}

[Hahahaaaa magical humans. Pfft, yeah right. ...Well. Good thing for Johto's power removers, or they'd have been screwed since day one. Ulterior motives and strategy are terrible enough.]

Only if it was one way. Most of the caves here have two exits, as far as I can tell. There's always a way out of them, even if you have to make one on your own.

[Or use the aforementioned rock-snake tunnels. Either works! ...Granted those may cave in on you so double-edged sword is an apt description.]
