Being Sneaky has its Advantages.

[DaeSiggil]

[OoC: Finally, muse back ; ]

She slipped into the Pokecenter, just as she had promised the Legendary she had caught not too long ago. She held it close as if it was a treasure. She looked at the counter for a moment, before looking up "Excuse me." She spoke, voice unnaturally soft "Can I get my.... Pokemon healed?" Her head fell to the side and she blinked lightly.

She had never been in a Pokecenter before and hoped that the Dialga would remain in its ball. She swallowed "It got a big nasty cut and.... uhhmm." She looked around quickly as if someone listened to what she said "It's pretty.... delicate..." She hoped that the nurse would catch the hint.

[Birdybot]

Nurse Joy didn't seem to realise that Lilly was talking about a legendary at all. "Delicate? Oh, is it a little baby?" she asked, looking at the Pokéball. How come the girl didn't know it's gender? That was confusing. There was probably a story behind that. Or maybe it was a Ditto, but most genderless Pokémon tended to think of themselves as a certain gender. She chose to ask the question. "Is you Pokémon a genderless Pokémon? Or did you just catch one to save it without knowing the gender?" she asked.

Then the nurse had second thoughts about that. That could have sounded rude. "Sorry if I'm being rude," she apologised, her Chansy daemon turning to face Lilly as well after dealing with a different trainer. ~Joy, enough with that. The Pokémon sounds like it's seriously injured, you should treat it immedietly. It could be infected, so perhaps...~[/color] the daemon murmured to the human, trailing off and the end. Joy nodded, understanding. "We think it might be best if your Pokémon goes into a place separate from the other Pokémon and trainers. Is that all right with you?" she asked Lilly.[/size]

[DaeSiggil]

She stuttered lightly and blushed hotly "I just tried to save it without knowing its gender, if it has one that is." She muttered softly, trying to beat the embarrassment down again. She looked up as Nurse Joy apologized and her eyes widened again "N- no need." She tried to smile faintly, although it most likely came out more like a grimace "I can understand the confusion." Her voice got a bit stronger.

She nodded, hurriedly "I think that's the best indeed." She spoke "I hope it's a big room if it needs to get out of the ball." She then spoke, frowning briefly. She then shrugged and looked patiently at Nurse Joy to lead the way to wherever she wanted to go to treat this Pokémon.

[Birdybot]

Nurse Joy nodded. A big room? Maybe she had a Snorlax or Dragonite or something. Well, the patients needs would be catered for, and if the trainer wanted a large solitary room, she would get one. "Of course. Follow me." she said, walking through a set of double doors and leading Lilly down a corridor. Along the sides were a number of doors. Some had little windows in the doors, some did not. Some were like wards of a hospital. Most were occupied. Nurse Joy showed Lilly to a door which was some distance from any other doors. A big room, then.

Inside, there were two large hospital beds. If they were pushed together, they would easily accomodate a Dialga like the one Lilly had found. The walls were lined with all sorts of medical equipment, and a load of machinery were lying here and there. The Nurse looked at Lilly. "Right, please release the Pokémon from its Pokéball. Push the two beds together if you must." she smiled.

[DaeSiggil]

She first pushed the beds together, puffing slightly as she did so. She then nodded at what Nurse Joy had suggested and opened the Pokeball, the Dialga materialized on the bed and opened its eyes wearily and looked around. Silas hopped around, pretty close to the enormous beast, talking softly in the hope it would bring the Dialga's attention away from its surroundings.

She mentioned weakly to it, ignoring its look on her "... the paw." She finally managed to get out, the first word lost in her nervousness. Dialga's gaze seemed to shift to the Nurse and appeared to glare, it had accepted Lilly's help, but didn't mean that he trusted human all of a sudden. It finally shifted its gaze to Silas though, making the Natu Daemon relax.

[Birdybot]

Nurse Joy and her daemon breathed a collective gasp, and remained motionless for a moment. Then the Chansy moved around to Dialga's side. Nurse Joy had a lot of questions she would love to ask, but her daemon shook her, bringing her back to reality and reminding her to keep professional. She smiled resurringly at Lilly. She seemed to be worried for the Dialga's safety. "Don't worry, girl. Not a soul will talk of this outside this room, you have my word. Dialga will be fine; we had a Suicune in here just a few weeks ago. I won't give you any more information than that, so don't tell anyone." she winked, then examined Dialga.

The nurse looked at the limb, prodding it here and there and wincing whenever Dialga made a grunt of discomfort. Oh, lots of exposed... stuff... there, fractured bone, and so on. She looked up at Lilly. "This will be a hard one to cure... we don't know much about the structure of legendary Pokémon, but we can do our best. It'll take at least a few days, give or take depending on Dialga's rate of healing, how bad it is when we look at x-rays, and more. You can come back any time you want. I'd reckomend you get some rest, look around, and possibly fight in the gym. I warn you; the gym leader's tough." she said.

ooc// If you wanna see what Pokémon at what level the gym leader has, read the thread for it. It's in this board.

[DaeSiggil]

She bowed her head in agreement, forcing her shoulders to relax after hearing the gasp "Alright." She breathed, relieved that the Dialga would be healed. She looked at her Daemon who obediently moved to her side "Shall we look around then, dear one? He questioned, she nodded her head and looked at the Dialga.

She heard the Nurse talk about what it most likely had and had to wince, she heard it all out before nodding again "I... I will do that." She spoke, she would check in every day. The Nurse had said something about resting, she finally felt the heaviness of her limbs and turned "I, I'll come to check it in the morning, if that's okay." She murmured softly, before opening the door and stepping out.

Well, she could wait with resting. It was maybe safer to know the lay-out of this city somewhat so she wouldn't be surprised if she woke up somewhere and had no clue on where to go. She spotted the Gym soon enough however and smiled lightly, she then looked at the Pokecenter, before going to the tall building. Her worry for Dialga still heavy on her mind.

[OoC: Alright, I'll do that.]

[Birdybot]

ooc// I think you might want to go to the training area if you battle the gym leader. Also, what building is 'the tall building'?

[DaeSiggil]

OoC: That's her way of saying "Gym", sorta. Because from what I remember, those are most of the time always visible from any part of town ^^;;

[Birdybot]

ooc// So she's gone into the gym, right? You do know that levels count in battle, and Lilly's Pokémon are a lot lower level than the gym leader's?

[DaeSiggil]

OoC: Yup, but she's just sight-seeing as well XD She isn't foolish enough to take them on while her pokemon are still on a low level.

[Birdybot]

Inside the gym, things seemed to be oddly quiet. Instead of tiles, floorboards, carpet or anything else which would be an acceptable floor covering, underfoot was a mass of lush green grass about a couple of inches tall. The room was large, with an arena for battling on painted over the grass in white. Around it were a number of decorative trees, shrubs and flowers. Inside the painted lines were a few rocks, not enough to block a trainer's veiw of the battle but enough to provide interesting material to take advantage of in battle.

What was unusual, however, was the absense of a gym leader. Normally, Elika would be somewhere in the room with her daemon, awaiting a challenger. At least, she would be while the doors were unlocked. There were stairs leading to the floors which would presumably be where Elika and her students trainers and slept, but there was no going there; a gate was locked across it reading 'authorised personel only'. How strange. Where could Elika be?

[DaeSiggil]

[OoC: Sorry, still alive ]

She indeed wondered about that Where is the Gym-leader? She thought, she felt the Daemon by her side look around as well and shot him a brief glance "Where do you think she is?" She questioned, making Silas look at her I do not know, dear one.. She let out a soft sigh and nodded her head "Alright, maybe if we look around then?" She questioned.

The Natu Daemon nodded his head in acceptance and she stepped further, searching for any clues that could maybe point her to the gym-leader. She wasn't going to challenge her, it was simple curiosity that drove her to do this and she would find her answers. She let her fingers trail across the Pokeballs by her side, searching comfort in those

[Birdybot]

As Lilly and Silas began to search the room, the door clicked, and someone entered. A voice wrang out. "Er-hi?" it was definately female, and sounded gentle. If Lilly turned around to look at her, she would see that it was none other than Elika, the 'missing' gym leader. Her Roselia daemon stood next to her, and both were carrying a number of shopping bags. Elika could tell that Lilly was a trainer. As a gym leader, she had grown to be able to tell who was a trainer and who was not. She smiled.

"Ah, hello. I'm Elika, the gym leader. Sorry if I kept you waiting, I went out to buy some things and must have forgot to lock the door. Just stocking up on food." she smiled, nodding pointedly at the bags. She moved over and left them near the off-limits door; it wasn't off-limits to her. She turned to Lilly. "So, are you here to challenge me?" she asked. She couldn't see what Lilly would have come for otherwise.

[DaeSiggil]

Her eyes widened as she was 'caught' from her sneaking in "Sorry." She uttered, but the Gym-leader was faster than her and explained that she had gone shopping. She nodded her head, almost bemused as Elika, before she obvious was, continued talking. It also helped that the leader had told her name to her, otherwise she wouldn't be sure of it and embarrass herself further.

The next question came as a surprise though, although she half could have expected it "Err, no.." She shook her head quickly "I was just looking around.." She muttered, looking away briefly before focusing her eyes on her again "I.. didn't mean to intrude or anything.." She shifted her weight as if she was nervous. It seemed that she knew that she was making a fool out of herself and silenced, her gaze kept fixed on Elika.
