"Sort of... I traveled here from Johto because I needed a new challenge but I haven't seen as much of Hoenn as I'd like."

[Raven]

"I've studied maps, but you've traveled and they're very different. You know what we might be facing, probably. At least, you have a better idea. I'm pretty sure there's a breeder in town. If we explain your situation, she might give you a young Pokemon."

[Gifted]

"You think?" Hey, whatever this girl really wanted out of it, Demetra really needed a pokemon. She'd never be able to figure out how to get her friends and her powers back without being able to battle.

[Raven]

Nikola shrugged. "It's worth a try. I'll take you to her place." She headed out into the ash. Litwick floated up and swallowed a larger puff. It drifted out of her in almost the same condition a couple seconds later.

[Gifted]

Demetra followed willingly, though she was confused.

[Raven]

Nikola pointed to a door when they were near enough to tell where she was pointing. "That's it."

[Gifted]

"Um... okay..." Demetra was fully aware she wasn't the greatest at convincing people of anything. She'd never had to, if she had to get help from other people her Influential powers were much easier.

[Raven]

"Violet scares the other Pokemon," Nikola explained. "I'll be here when you come out."

[Gifted]

"I just... nevermind." She didn't want to show weakness to another trainer, even if it was a weak ten year old with a young pokemon. It gave them something to take advantage of. She entered the breeders home.

[Raven]

There were Pokemon everywhere. Most of them were babies, but a few were clearly adults taking care of them. A couple of field group Pokemon ran past, a houndoom in the back howling at them playfully. Then a middle aged woman with her hair pulled back came forward holding an igglytuff. "Hello, can I help you?"

[Gifted]

Demetra, after checking to make sure she hadn't been followed in, tried her best to explain her situation and politely ask them for some help obtaining another pokemon.

The woman coughed. "Well, there is one egg you can take..." The egg in question had been left by the mother, and there weren't many people willing to take a random egg. "You will have to be able to keep it warm."

[Gifted]

"I can figure something out." Hell, that weird trainers pokemon was literally a candle, if nothing else she could stick with her awhile longer until the egg hatched. "Please, any way you can help..."

[Raven]

"I'll be right back... Actually, why don't you come with me?" The woman clearly didn't trust Demetra alone with the Pokemon. She headed back, making sure Demetra was following her, and handed her a blue egg spattered with white spots. It was slightly bigger than a softball, but not quite as heavy.

[Gifted]

Demetra took it delicately. "Thank you." She nodded. "Thanks a lot." Without another word, she dashed quickly out the door, before she could do something stupid like blush.
