"....That Banyan woman.... I still wonder what is up with her." She has business in Lumiose right now with her Slurpuff behind her as... Oh. That may explain why Huitaca is out if she is here! Given she has been the one taking care of Reinas Pokemon out of rotation!

bern Testing. Can I access her now?

"Lileep or Roselia... At least I want to imagine one of these two would make Reinas day come her birthday." She's already thinking of a birthday gift, isn't she?

"... I worry the family is going to tear themselves apart before they can stop Aleister. ...Or he'll use their dysfunctional state to capture Reina and win."

"... I wonder if William can convince Lavinia to give Reinas Pokemon back, if at all possible." Probably asking him for the family to unite is a bit of a stretch but..

...She's hearing Freyas panic in her own room but she kind of feels bad she can't walk out to help her.

"...I feel I need to give everyone a fossil as apologies for this mess." Of course that's where her mind went to on her way of apologizing.

bern Annalise or Odette? Found two names I can name this new girl..

"Upon that star, I wished... That even I may know the potential of Evolution." A Pokemon trainer OC by BadJokesLucia Itty bitty timeskip, still a minor muse by an adult writer. Dark/ heavy themes and tragedy still inevitable.

"...Well. Of course none of my Pokemon are small enough to carry me around here. Well, they're either too big or too small." She questions how there could be a wheelchair shortage in the first place.

"He'll likely try to get me comfortable first before going to check on the others. I know him far too well." She truly does know William. And if this is any indication, may give him motivation to fight his former friend too.

"...I'll have to text him that. I am sure there's a lot going on with this family, he'd likely come to help me first..." And maybe ask him to bring a wheelchair. There's a shortage going on that even Willow finds very odd at the moment.

"We're out of here, that's for sure... But yeah... We are at the moment. I sent William a text right after Aleister disappeared. I just hope he gets to it in time... I did send him stuff regarding the family but..." Perhaps William would potentially help the siblings with their issues... Maybe.

bern Ironically, hearing of Celia dying may snap Reina out of this possession going on sooo...

"...That is what Freya said, too. Perhaps she found her way here but..." What could possibly happen. If it is time travel it must have not went out correctly... she knows the Portal may have done something weird but... "The treasure to Darklight Island has a strange portal to another world-

"....I got in a fight with Aleister." That is all she can say on the matter. She doesn't want to make her too paranoid. "...If what she said was true then Reinas mindset is back to wanting to die again... But a lot of this feels out of character for her." Even if Reina had a bit of tendencies-

"...Celia has, yes. And Lavinia doesn't want anything to do with this, even if Reina entrusted her with her Pokemon. ...But i feel Celia may have wanted Reina to... I guess be more like her? Not in a cage. But more how she'd deal with situations." And of course there's the thought that-

"....Wendy? Lavinia got a call from Reina... She has been acting weird. And apparently gave almost all of her Pokemon to Lavinia... This confirms she may be around here but something is not right at all." She isn't sure how to speak about this. "And everyone is just given up on helping. I-

And yet there is already a bit of a call from Willow. She seems to be trying to get the call going on. "...Come on, pick up... Lavinia should be right you may help... Pick up."

"...Is it wrong for me to be concerned about you all?" Willow had a small frown as the doctors were helping her up as they spoke up and... "...What do you mean it's going to take a week to get a wheelchair?" Hopefully Freya won't be needing one. "I'll call her and have her report what is-

"...If the doctors could give me a wheelchair, I'd try to go out and-" ["Breaking news: Another explosion at a second Kingchester base at Galar just occured. The fire force is being spread thing as we speak-"] "...All of you girls very much worry me, you know that... right? I feel Elena was-

"....Try to give me the Pokemon then. They are part of my island when she isn't available, after all." She is trying to keep Lavinia calm here. Though the next thing she may bring up may decide whether it is worth trying to have Lavinia see things or not. "If she wanted to talk about dying-

"This really doesn't sound characteristic of her right now here... She doesn't abandon her Pokemon." Willow feels something truly isn't right. But even if something happened, it feels Lavinia may be settled with her idea even if something was influencing Reina. "...Something really doesn't-

"I guess this means she is out of that portal, huh?" Willow has been trying to think for a moment what may be the cause of this. "...She normally wouldn't abandon what she sees as family like this. But it seems like something changed when she got out of it. Did she say anything or-" Before-

"...You got notified too...?" She is just hobbling out of her hospital room, wincing. She seems worried. "...What is she even doing anymore-" Annnd collapsed. "...The nurses told me there's been a wheelchair shortage lately.."

Her rotom phone was ringing when... "...Eh? Wait.... what is Reina doing? How many of her own Pokemon did she transfer her!? Huh!?" She forgot Rotom phones have this feature. But Willow seems worried..

Unfortunately, even Willow had to be hospitalized. She has been trying to stand up as she winced a bit. "...There's a shortages of wheelchairs? Really?" What kind of hospital has a wheelchair shortage!?

"I need to try and get William in touch soon. I feel we'd all need something.."

"...If I could, I'd turn back the time to try and help you all..." She's just standing there. To think she was feeling like she was able to help them. It seems like everyone is going to ignore her and William from here on out, huh? She'd have to try and help them somehow, even on the side..

"I want you to know I know what he'll do. Even if he tries to speak his nonsense and won't change, at least going to him to set up a trap is far better than brute forcing into his base to attack him." At least in Willows mind, it'd be far more cleaner. "...If I knew any of you were around,-

"...This is why I have been trying to get communication with William. I feel he'll have to get in here sooner or later. Your "uncle" is a therapist." She's going to call herself an aunt and him an Uncle due to how long they've been with the family, huh? "I feel even I would need his help-

"...She was afraid losing Reina meant Celia would snap, huh?" Sounds like Freya wasn't exactly sure how Celia would have reacted here. "...I know you may not want my help here but I know Slurpuff can help people in aid. If you want, you can borrow her for a bit to help heal Freya up." ["Let's-

["...All I ask is to keep any source of communication to your side. At least do what Freya would want."] At least to Darkrai, with how Freya was acting and acting concerned, it was only to ease Freyas mind. ["If nothing else but to ease Freyas mind when she regains consciousness. You saw-

["...And yet I could tell Freya kept insisting we didn't talk about this in case Celia would want it. Also who knows who would have been listening in. We had to take the idea that this place would have been wired."] He was at least respecting her opinion on why he didn't speak up. ["...If she-

"...What if Reina needs that call?" At this rate, Willow is going to have to call for her herself. "How else are we supposed to know if or when she'll come back!? Freyas phone got fried up there. We need to figure out how to get her out of here!" Willow is really worried if everyone gives-

"...This is what I kind of worried. Celia would have made this entire trip pointless." Willow was putting in a lot of hope on the treasure here. But it was clear at this point, they very well may divide into subsections. "... I feel we'd either need her back or else Reina and the others would-

She kind of knew Celia was going to grow angry here. But she stayed calm. "Once we get Reina back home here, we will have an advantage. I know there must be a reason why she got sucked into the world she did." She is staying calm, entrusting in the process here. "...I know I shouldn't-

["Freya mentioned Reina said something about a... riddle? I could barely hear what Reina said. The body of the Mad One reemerging. The enemy of Galars Heroes reemerging..."] Only Celia may be one who can understand this. ["What Reina may have found in there may be the key to taking out-

"...It... It isn't a total disaster." ["...If we can get Reina back, we'd be able to get the power on our side against him. And as Willow said, he has been humiliated. This may sound weird but maybe we should try to call her after we get out info."] Darkrai seems a bit calm. This strange-

"...Were... people talking about me?" She looks so bruised as she was huffing, walking in. Poor girl looks so wrecked beyond belief. "...He escaped. But I can tell he's getting desperate at this point. I knew this man for so long." She is holding her leg, trying to walk more before collapsing on-

"....I refuse to drop dead here. If i can't get you back, then so be it..." Zangoose did come out of is Pokeball, trying to slash at Aleister as he jumped away. And is that... Is that Lavinias Chien-Pao coming here? "We have you surrounded... I promise you that you'd live. And I promise-

"...Either you get captured here or you run away... neither of which is a good look..." Which Willow is right. But she is coughing up in pain, shaking a bit. She doesn't know where Reina is... but it was clear something happened. "...So to stop suffering, you make your own daughter to suffer?-

Though it was clear at this point, the numbers advantage would come right out as another Professor would hold onto her... Rather Reinas Pokeball, gripping onto it. "Hey. Galahad. Want to impress Reina with how far you've grown?" With a grip of that Pokeball, she'd toss out Galahad who...-

"Lavinia? Celia? Protect my back. I'm bringing Galahad out of here." Seems like Willow is ready right now to jump in... But she knows Celia is quite literally being dragged.

He is holding onto Galahads Pokeball. "If I make an estimate... A minute until we get to the deep core of this temple..."

She does grip onto the Aerodactyl, flying on top of it. "What can I say. I know my fossils real well. I felt Reina earned another one at some point in the future." But that is a conversation for another time, with her about to fly on her rock dactyl!

"Right. I don't have anything too fast but my lil Aero can fly-" She took out her Pokeball and... that is not a "small" Aerodactyl, Willow. "And I'll make sure he doesn't bite your head unlike Aleister and William!" That's... reassuring?

"...Best case scenario, it was Freya or Reina or a wild Pokemon. The worst case scenario it was Aleister." Willow is running through every single possibilty in her head as she bit her lip. "Every scenario running in my head is a non-zero possibility, which is concerning me."

"It's why I say it is very unlikely. Unless she somehow found more reason to hate her so much she'd rather have it fail than work for her, I think it'd go through. Right now, it is one of our best assets we have at this moment. I'd rather we take our chances than anything else."

"I knew Wendy had some experience in Silph Co. This is pretty much using your resources to your advantage. Can you imagine the look on his face seeing a rival company leak that much info?" It'd certainly be something he can never recover from. "Outside of the very unlikely event of Celia-
