[Azur Schild]

"Aria, just making sure, are you sure that you can't fight?" Azur asked once again... Just to be sure. He don't want to force her, but at this time, the other are in low level, so he must ask... Asking Tristan and Gusios to fight again is a bit too much. He does have some potions if needed, but... he preferred to not use them too much. Aria looked at Azur and...

KyvDzTxCp_

Once again shook her head. She felt terrible, but she really can't do anything! Azur nodded. He looked at Lacus, who shook her head. She can't bring herself to hurt her mother either, and she doesn't think her mother would appreciate if Azur ordered her to fight her... which is fair. "...Sorry for putting you on the spot. Well then... Gusios, Tristan, Kuuhaku, go for it!"

Three on one. It was absurd. The boss attempted to use Ice Shard at the Tropius transforming Ditto, but he immediately dodged, and instead used Leaf Storm against it. Gusios and Tristan knows that Kuuhaku was the one with best chance of defeating the boss here... They must let him keep reducing the boss's Accuracy... Tristan executed Double Team, while Gusios, hiding behind Tristan's illusion, shoots Ember at the boss.

p_

It hits! The accuracy fell! Tristan continues with Confusion, while Gusios continues with the Ember! The Boss attempted to use another Ice Shard. It narrowly missed Gusios, who sweated more than he has ever been in bis life. Ice Type Moves aren't a joke for a Dragon Pokemon like him. Kuuhaku meanwhile attacked once again with Leaf Storm.

p_

But it doesn't decrease the accuracy! ...A crisis began when suddenly the boss used Confusion Ray. Kuuhaku was the one hit, and they started to see rainbow light on their eyes... Crap. 

Gusios immediately used Ember once more and Tristan used Confusion! The two Pokemons keep buffeting the boss with attacks upon attacks that seem to be whittling down its health... but at best the best attack is at Kuuhaku who's in a pinch because of confusion. It have a third of a chance to make him hurt himself, which would lower down the potential of them winning this fight quickly...

p_

And he managed to execute his Leaf Storm! It's at this time that the boss Lapras finally hit the floor. The party breathed heavily from the intense battle. Gusios looked like he was the worst of the battered up fighter. Kuuhaku was wounded, but not that much... while Tristan probably the one who got out of it the lightest. Lacus approached the trio and began using her life dew. She chatted with her mother (assumedly) and her sisters (also assumedly). The trio eventually agreed to leave Lacus, but not before sharing gentle nuzzles on the small Lapras.

Once that's done and all, Azur sighed. "...I need to patch my Pokemon up soon..."

[Ettie Carnall]

As they reached the island, Ettie would be happy to be on solid land if only for a little bit; stumbling a bit both from transitioning to actually being on steady ground, and from the vibrations of Prower's previous Razor Wind making her legs a bit wobbly. Pierre, too, would briefly shake himself off as he got onto land - and Cassie and Aurien both would make a beeline for Azur, as he dismounted on the island as well. The still nameless Rookidee would simply perch himself on Ettie's head now, though; as Adhara and Sirius both came out of their pokeballs, the duo seeming curious to see where they were now...!

Shalin would soon come to reassure Ettie over her worry for her two Popplio, though; to which the young girl seemed to relax a bit, nodding. "You're right, Shalin..." Ettie murmured, smiling gently in the wild rider's direction. "Azur's a wonderful nurse; I'm sure he'll be able to patch them right up..!" He was older and smarter, for sure; Ettie admired him lots and lots...!

At the mention of them swapping mounts though, Ettie thought it over, before nodding a bit in agreement. "Prower was really fast, which was really fun; but I wanna give the others a try, too..!" She'd chirp with a giggle; wondering who she'd ride next. She already rode Levy, and she just rode Prower for a bit, so... That'd leave Vannifar and Dondon, right..? Vannifar seemed like she'd be easy to slip off of - so Ettie was a bit reluctant to try riding her - but maybe she could ask Shalin for some tips...?

In any case, Azur would soon begin looking Aurien and Cassie over - the two Popplios attentively sitting still for the nurse, as he began treating them. Both of them would be well behaved; sitting still for him as Azura washed their wounds, and Azur patched them up. Aurien, much like before, was sure to point out all the wounds he knew he had - shifting and adjusting his stance according to whatever Azur needed of him. He barely even flinched as Azur massaged over any sore spots; instead simply relaxing, from the much-appreciated massage. By the time that Azur was done, the heroic little Popplio would be practically boneless as he simply basked in the sun; only softly bwarking at the noseboop.

Cassie, on the other hand, seemed a lot more sensitive to the pain; gently flinching from the sting as her bite wounds were cleaned, letting out a soft whine. Aurien would perk up at this - pausing from his sunbathing to reassure Cassie with a gentle nuzzle. Even the other pups - Pierre, Adhara, and Sirius - would all come to check up on her upon hearing their newest packmate's discomfort; Sirius in particular giving her a big lick on the cheek! The reassurance of her newfound pack seemed to be more than enough for Cassie to settle back down, though; snuggling up to Aurien as the checkup resumed.

Even being praised by Azur seemed to make Cassie perk up a little; the affectionate Popplio bwarking in response and briefly nuzzling him, as he looked her over and soon began massaging her. Though she was too new to the concept of massages to have any particular preference of style, it seemed that she responded best to gentle touches; sighing softly as she, too, began to relax bonelessly against Aurien and her packmates. Even the exciteable Sirius seemed keen on relaxing with them; an impromptu cuddlepile forming, with Aurien and Cassie both in the center of it.

Ettie, at the sight of this, couldn't help but giggle and let out a soft 'dawww'; visibly endeared by it all. "Thank you, Azur!" She'd soon mention to the older man, though; visibly appreciative, if the hug she'd soon give him would indicate anything! The whisper he'd give her, though, would make the young girl scrunch up a little; uncertainty clear on her face, at what was clearly a talk about her bandages. Should... She explain them to him?

[Ettie Carnall]

Quiet for a few moments, it'd take a second for Ettie to respond - though when she did, her own voice would be a whisper as well. "I'm... not hurt, but..." Trailing off for a second to find her words, she'd soon shake her head - whispering "I just, don't want to look under them..." Already, she felt as though the skin under her bandages were stinging - a psychological phantom pain, but a pain nonetheless that she'd try to ignore and shove down; instead simply hugging Azur tightly for a few more seconds, before he'd leave to check up on Dondon.

As Azur treated the Tropius, Ettie would join in on the snuggle pile; protectively curling herself around Aurien and Cassie the best she could. It seemed that she was looking a bit bothered from the recent talk about the bandages, and her pack easily picked up on it; Pierre beginning to gently groom Ettie to try and help her relax, as the Rookidee perched up on his head instead. Sirius and Adhara, too, would begin licking her - which would soon make her giggle. "Pftehehe; that tickles, guys...!" This would be enough to perk her back up it seemed, taking the time to stroke each pup's head with a warm and happy smile.

It seemed that things wouldn't be calm for very long, though. As Lacus let out a cry in alarm, the assembled group would sit up - seeing a family of very unhappy Lapras come up..! Pierre, though he was nervous and wary of these larger pokemon, would put himself between the pack and the Lapras herd - knowing that Aurien and Cassie were in no state to fight right now, on top of the others being too young to fight. As things would turn out though, it seemed that these Lapras didn't have beef with the pack - instead looking to fight Azur's team..! As the pokemon clashed, Ettie would watch from afar; her arms protectively wrapped around Aurien and Cassie both. Her muscles were tensed and bunched - as if she was ready to move at a moment's notice - but...

... Thankfully, the fight - though it was a long and rough one - wouldn't stray far from where it started, and Azur would be able to pull a victory over the Lapras herd with his team...! Ettie would perk up, and applaud with a brief whoop in Azur's direction; cheering for him and his pokemon, as the Lapras all began to settle down. Even when Azur lamented over needing to patch his pokemon up, Ettie would speak up - mentioning "It's okay! Let's all rest here for a little longer while you patch them up!"

And meanwhile... Glancing over in Shalin's direction, Ettie would approach the older woman, asking "Could you show me how to ride Vannifar, while Azur patches his pokemon up...? Vannifar, Classie, and Dondon are the only ones I haven't ridden yet - though I'm... Kind of nervous about riding Vannifar; I don't see anywhere I can hang onto her, with how round and smooth she looks!" Ettie was pretty sure that if she'd try to sit on Vannifar's head, she'd just end up slipping right off the second Vannifar starts moving...! Hopefully though, maybe Shalin would be able to help...?

[Shalin Nariya]

Once she felt comfortable enough to stand, Shalin stepped away while Azur got to work healing Dondon and the rest of the party's wounded Pokémon. It sure was convenient having someone with medical training around! She noticed Ettie was still a bit wobbly even well after she had dismounted Prower - it made her feel bad she had exposed the girl to a ride far too wild for her to handle. "Had I known, I'd have warned you beforehand - that Razor Wind stuff is intense!" She perked right back up when Ettie said she enjoyed the speed. Prower seemed proud of his Razor Wind, too. "Just imagine how fast he could go if he used his Razor Wind right on the water's surface! I wanna try that when we get closer to the shore!"

Jl19bfBTp_

(Strength: 7 + 2 = 9)

While Azur was treating the party's Pokémon, Shalin left momentarily to check on Classie, who was guarding the Trapinch egg that exhibited quite a bit of movement. The Trapinch inside looked like it would be born fairly soon! Near Classie, there was a Pyukumuku, apparently in bad shape, clawing its way along the beach. The girl reached down to lift the small Water-type, winding up to hurl it back into the sea...and it wound up going maybe ten feet, half-buried in the sand. Hey, at least the surf would catch it so it wouldn't dry out completely!

She came back with the Lapras, running along the beach as her Pokémon outpaced her rounding the islet. Once they were together, she released the giant Tentacruel and mounted up to help the breeder understand. "There are a couple ways you can do it. You can either wrap your arms around her and let her tow you around...or you can sit toward the back of her head and grab onto the front of it, like what I'm doing now. It takes a while for her to get going, but she can swim nearly as fast as Prower!"

The girl in green demonstrated both methods, though she seemed to be having more fun actually sitting atop the Tentacruel instead of merely clinging to her with her arms. "See which one works for you!" Shalin turned back to Azur, who had found himself surrounded by a pod of Lapras. Se was going to send her own Lapras after them, but it looked like he had the battle plenty under control. The wind started to pick up a bit, too, making the waves a little choppy in the direction the three were headed.

[Azur Schild]

Whew, now that the battle is over, Azur have the chance to patch up his team... Of the three that got wounded are Tristan, Gusios and finally Kuuhaku. Kuuhaku... the Ditto is one of the strangest being when it comes to healing. He can technically just patch them up, but... There were rumors that Dittos are Mew's failed clones. At least that's was the rumor considering Mew could be anyone, anything... all Pokemon in one, the origin, the "Adam", they said... Ditto have that watered down version of Mew's Ability, and only that. By that theory, he remembered his teacher's word.

You see, Schild, when it comes to Dittos, many scientists from various field of studies tried to guess what's up with this unique Pokemon. Were they came directly from Mew and the Ditto evolved into Pokemons that we know, or were they actually just a recent finding? No one really knew. They just like that slips inside our Pokedex entry, no one really know which one goes first... It's like asking if it's Arceus first or the Egg first.

Ara, don't make such a sour face. Tidbits like these are important to know what you're dealing with you know? I guess if you think about it, Dittos probably very rich in stem cells... not just that, something in them also make these stem cells differentiate and just as quickly returns to stem cells... How are that possible? There are so many good things about Dittos... and that's why it's my lifelong mission and desire to study whether Dittos can help with recovering human's lost limbs too.

...Ara, what's that? Why can't they heal themselves you say...? Hmmm good question... If I can offer a guess why... to speak of it in layman term... they simply can't because it's not part of their ability, they need something... something that they don't have personally.

...If he have to guess, Dittos cannot heal themselves despite them being a blob of stem cells (theory) is because their lack of ability to propagate those cells without external stimulus that would allow them to heal rapidly (theory II). That's why Pokemon centers, potions and various other items are still needed to for Dittos... for strange reason, all sort of healing technique works on them. It's as if they're trying to be receptive to the best kind of healing for them. For example, currently Azur is spraying the Ditto with the spray he used to heal Dondon... just for a moment, the Ditto glows green before seem to melt into puddle in relief. A little bit of massaging for them to promote the healing better...

...He guess Dittos are technically more advanced slime in one way or another... Who knows... Azur meanwhile making sure that Kuuhaku recovered enough before moving to the other one. That's one down, two more to go... But while treating the Ditto, an Apricorn rolled at Azur's leg... Huh, strange. No berries but there are apricorns? Well, he'll take it. Maybe it'll be useful for making Pokeballs down the line... albeit he still have no idea how to do it.

[Azur Schild]

Speaking of which, Azur was glad that Ettie is fine... her hug, he returned it while gently stroking her head. "You're fine," he whispered. While he's amused to see the two Popplios looking very relaxed, his true focus is elsewhere... The Rookidee. "...Ah, right, you're asking for name, right? My suggestion is Bran. It's apparently a name of a mythological Corviknight... whether it's true or not, who knows... But it was name that given to a lot of Corviknight in Galar due to that.

...The name of the Corviknight of my home is 'Zenith' though."

Well, next is Tristan. Azur checked on him. He's mostly unharmed... Just a bit wounded here and there, huh. The edges of the 'dress' of the Ralts is similar to their skin, but probably more to extra? It's not quite as important as their actual limbs, but it's still hurts if it get torn. Giving it a suture is not the way when it comes to healing it. Instead, there is a better way. Azur pulled out something that looked like a cream. This one isn't one that he can whip up immediately by crushing berries and whatnot... and must be made prior. The reason is due to the amount of time needed to whip it up. It's more potent, however, acting as glue to skin. It's not for gaping wounds. It's specifically made to fix up feelers and sensitive extension of any Pokemon, promoting faster healing. It doesn't have that much uses beside.

Azur pinched the torn fabric of the Ralts' hem and applied the cream. Soon enough it dried, seem to form some sort of binding on the tissue of the Pokemon's 'dress'. After this all that left is to not make him touch it so it can properly heal. Now, as for the the other injuries... Tristan's other injuries are mostly from tumbling on the sand too much. It's the minor kind. Azur asked Azura once again to clean the Ralts' soles. If it's just this then it's easy enough he guessed. Once the feet aren't so dirty, Azur noted that there are a bit of scratch wounds here... ah, could it be that there are some friction from the sand or there are something underneath it that caused him to have these scratch wounds? It's thankfully minor, so a bit of a salve could easily fix it.

"Hmmm, as for any blunt injuries there are none eh... Just in case I'll massage you to make it easier for you to relax alright? Let's see... your legs are fine, but your neck is a bit tired from using Disarming Voices a lot and not to mention Confusion eh? Well then, first is this lemon honey cough drop... yeah, just like that, just roll them around in your tongue and sip it slowly... meanwhile I'll be massaging your head to promote blood flow to your temples and face... concentrating hard often made your facial muscles tense... so by doing this you will melt... Ah? Are you melting already, Tristan?"

...Yep, the Ralts is already melting and is napping on his trainer's lap.

[Azur Schild]

The talk about getting to Tentacruel's tentacles alerted Azur. Deep inside, he doesn't approve this. He grumbled as he thought of how to tell Ettie to drop it when it comes to riding a Tentacruel due to how poisonous their tentacles are... but there are also cases where the Tentacruels could easily picks up trainer and hold them safe without getting them in any sort of danger... But even then, the nurse is nervous. Really nervous. He don't like the sound of it... but at the same time if he doubted Shalin, it'll only cause needless friction... Hngggh...

Gusios' cry snapped him out of it. Oh right. He need to treat Gusios. Gusios took damages too from the attack back then... and in his case, it was ice type... Which the dragons are extremely bad against. So he first began the treatment by normalizing the temperature with warm water compress on the affected area. Once the Gusios started to melt from the sensation of his body returning to normal, Azur increased the temperature of the water, pretty much making an impromptu sand sauna---sand sauna, that's it! Azur quickly asked Kuuhaku to transform into Arcanine to dig up a hole about three times deeper than Gusios, and about his height in size. Once the hole is dug, he ordered Gusios to breath Ember into rocks he put on the hole. It takes about few minutes to heat it fully. Once it heats up enough, Azur would once again return the sand to bury the rock enough so there's no direct contact. once he felt that the rock are buried enough, he ordered Gusios to get inside the hole. Afterward, he pretty much buried his body (leaving only the Bagon's head) under the sand.

"Alright, let's set timer to... thirty minutes. You can nap while you wait, Gusios."

As for what he's going to do meanwhile, Azur put on aromatheraputic potpourri. It's been a while since he did this... he put on some scent that would make it easier for Gusios to fall asleep. Even both Kuuhaku and Tristan enjoyed it, forming some sort of pile while Lacus and Azura is watching on Ettie and Shalin. The silent Aria decided to hang out near Azur... She looked at him guiltily... Azur, seeing that expression immediately patted her on the head.

"...It's fine, you don't have to force yourself. If anything it was my bad to pressure you. You're fine."

Even so looks like the Brionne isn't so convinced. Azur just patted her head gently.

After the timer rang, Azur would dug Gusios out, well rested and seem his body has warmed up enough. Now that he's warmed up enough, Azur would gently massage him, giving him the perfect sauna treatment. Now that he think of it, his way of healing Pokemons are very... wide isn't it? But he guess that he's very happy that he could treat them with various kind of techniques... And if something happened on the field, he can improvises.

"Oh, by the way I'm done here. What about two of you?" he asked

[Ettie Carnall]

As Azur returned the hug and whispered to her, Ettie would visibly relax; tension leaking out of her body as she simply nodded and hugged him for a few moments longer, before parting with a small and gentle smile up in his direction. He was rather understanding about it all - which helped put her at ease, knowing that this wasn't a subject she'd be forced into.

A change of subject helped in that matters as well; namely Azur suggesting a name for Ettie's newborn Rookidee! As he mentioned the name Bran, her eyes would light up a bit; smiling brightly. "Bran seems like a wonderful name!" She'd chirp - smiling to the Rookidee in question. "What do you think?" The little Rookidee - still perched - would mull over this name for awhile... Before gently chirping his approval - seeming to like the name. Bran it is!

Grinning gently, Ettie would reach out to squeeze Azur's hand in an affectionate gesture, mentioning "Thank you for so many name ideas - you're really good at names!" with a gentle giggle.

Eventually though, there came Ettie, Shalin, and learning how to ride Vannifar. As Shalin showed off and explained a couple of different methods, Ettie would be watching with visible curiosity; notably impressed over the fact that Shalin was able to actually hang onto Vannifar, despite how smooth her body was overall. Sitting on top seemed a lot better than being towed along, though - even if it didn't seem quite as secure.

And so, when Shalin offered for her to see whichever method worked best, Ettie would decide to sit towards the back; hands reaching forward to brace herself atop Vannifar's head. "Alright... Let's try this, then!" While Azur was patching up his pokemon, Ettie would begin to practice directing Vannifar around; sticking close to the little island as they rode about, in the relatively shallow waters. Off in the distance, Ettie would spot a Mantine breach from the waters - flying a respectable distance out of the waters - before submerging once more, disappearing from sight.

One thing that Ettie noticed right away with Vannifar, was that while she was fast - like Prower - the acceleration was much smoother. In addition to this, there were no vibrations to worry about; making for an all in all enjoyable ride! Who knew, that the pokemon that Ettie was most reluctant about riding, was seemingly the most fun? Giggling, she'd ride back and forth along the little island's shore a couple of times - waving widely to the others as she passed - growing more confident in directing Vannifar, it seemed.

Before too long though, Azur would finish patching up his pokemon, and would come to ask Ettie and Shalin whether they were done here. Ettie, smiling brightly, would nod - mentioning "I'm good to go when you and Shalin are, Azur; just lemme check on the pack!" as she hopped off of Vannifar, to get the pups ready - returning Adhara and Sirius to their pokeballs, and checking to make sure Cassie and Aurien were okay to swim.

Both Popplio, having had plenty of time to rest and recover, both looked quite chipper - even if Aurien was still a hair sore - and so when Ettie went to get back on Vannifar's head, the duo would join her in the waters! Albeit, they'd give Vannifar's tentacles a respectable berth; the both of them seeming to know better than to get too close to the poison type.

[Shalin Nariya]

While the others were preparing to set sail, Ettie looking she was having the time of her life learning how to control Vannifar (again), a young boy in swimming shoes approached the girl. He admired Shalin's many water Pokémon, musing aloud of how he wished he had a water Pokémon like that. "Well, you're in the right place to find one! Vannifar, my Tentacruel, came from this very sea!" She was only half-right, though - while she indeed did come from the waters south of here, she was a trainer's Pokémon first. Inspired to go searching for one, the young trainer floated back on the water using his inner tube.

With everyone ready to go, Ettie showing confidence in controlling the Tentacruel, Shalin assembled the rest of her water Pokémon on the north shore. The three were on the home stretch...but it was getting late. The green girl climbed aboard an impatient-looking Classie, looking down to see a small crack on top of her Trapinch egg! It had to be getting close to crawling out of that rough, thick shell!

That left two Pokémon for Azur...Levy and Prower. Ettie had braved the Floatzel and loved it, except for the Razor Wind part. "Come on, Azur, give Prower a try! We're almost there and you might not get another chance!" She was egging the nurse on as the Floatzel idly twirled his tails, blowing up some sand behind him. Levy started swimming at Ettie's side, sticking his tall neck out of the water to see if any Pokémon his trainer might be interested in were swimming nearby.

Azur just smiled at Ettie and ruffled her hair. Azur just thought that it's probably better for both of them to just forget the talk just now. He's happy that she's pleased with his name of choice too. "You're welcome. I think it's just easily coming to me because they're originally from Galar. If they're not it's probably much harder."

Just as he was about to be done with his little patch up, suddenly a sailor approached. "Young man, are you a nurse?" he asked Azur. At first, Azur was wary because 80% of the time, talk on the road is often about pokemon battling, but looks like this time he was wrong. "Yes, I am. How may I help you?"

"Think you can patch up my Pokemons a bit? They're my fishing companions, and unfortunately we were caught in a Sharpedo school. They're kind of bruised and all that..."

"Oh, sure. Ettie, Shalin, go on ahead. I'll follow you close behind... And Shalin, safety first is my motto."

Asking the group to go on ahead without him is quite something double. First because he don't want them to look at the injuries of the Pokemon... and then for him to take his little time in training his Pokemon on how to surf. But first of all, time to check the wounded Pokemons. He winced when it turned out to be a Mantine and a Vaporeon. Neither are too badly injured, but he guess he should just  check any of them for worse injuries.

After some checks, looks like that the Vaporeon is the more hurt of the two. There are minor cuts here and there, and bite wounds, but nothing need suturing.

"How does it looked, young man?" the sailor asked.

"Not too hurt, I think," Azur answered. "Moment, let me get on working... Also please do not question my method of treatment, alright? I assure you they're approved."

First, grinding the berries... man, the stock is getting too thin for his taste. He should make a mental note to stash half powdered berries and half fresh one just in case. Same goes with leaves and such... but at the same time, them not being fresh sort of reduces their effectiveness some too... But anyway, some berries, some leaves, blend it a bit with some clean distilled water, then add in several healing extracts... blend them inside a spray bottle... done. The makeshift potion is now ready. However, before application, he must clean the wounds first.

"Azura," Azur called out the Dewpider, who raises her front leg and spray some water toward the wound. Afterward, Azur sterilized the water with a bit of a alcohol. Following that, he sprayed some of the self made potion on the wounds. The affected areas are mostly the legs and the tail... Those must be quite scary for the poor Vaporeon... but upon thinking so, Azur noted that the Vaporen doesn't seem to mind that much, and even holding back the pain well enough. What a stubborn pokemon.

[Azur Schild]

But still, this is good. Once the wound are clear, Azur would quickly spray the wound with the makeshift potion. The Vaporeon flinched as the cold sensation of the potion seeped inside the wound. Azur quickly slathered some healing salve on the bandages and wrapped the wound up quickly. Being dexterous like this is part of his job. He repeated this several times, with extra application on the tail where the Vaporeon was hit the worst. Now...

"Mantyke is the other one huh..."

Azur does not have favorable memories of healing fishes... well in his case it was Magikarp. His teacher tested him with Magikarp, a healthy one at it for his graduation test. The idea is he have to cure the Magikarp. Running several tests took him hours before he told his mentor that he's' giving up because the Magikarp looked healthy, and he couldn't find any issue with it. The rest of the test takers meanwhile got slightly sick Pokemon... so there must be something wrong, right? Turned out it's another of his mentor's sadistic prank. She didn't tell him until the day of graduation where he was told that finished all his courses. He felt like crying then, both in anger and relief.

But anyway, back to the Mantyke. This one he can see the problem clearly. Unlike Magikarp, Mantyke at least got more expressions. And so he probed the Mantyke's body for any discomfort, all while telling it to say something if it feels any discomfort. Thankfully unlike the Vaporeon, this Mantyke understood that she need to say what's wrong for her to be healed, so she did. The result of the exam shows that the Mantyke got bruised here and there...

Aqua Jet? The bruises suggest that instead of hit by the Sharpedo's forehead, it might got bruised from the dorsal fin instead. At least there are nothing broken though... Thankfully he still got the solution he used from healing both Cassie and Aurien. Apply it to the bruise, and see that it closes... and afterward, he just need to massage it a bit and make sure that the Mantyke is doing well. While intentionally avoiding the bruise, he made sure that the spot is well rubbed with salve that could promote healing of bruises.

While this happened, the Mantyke seem to be relaxed, albeit understandably a bit weirded out. It's not the usual kind of healing after all... There are too many kind of healing that Azur practiced. If he asked if he could do Acupuncture on top of all these, he would say that yes, he could do that too. But that's no needed at the moment.

"Right, so I'm done over here. Just make sure that these two rests for a while. If you got any other Pokemon, please just call them out instead of these two in case something bad happened."

"Oooh, very appreciated there, young man. Well then, as a thank you, you can have these."

...Iron, Razz Berry, Gold, 180 Pen? Also Horsea egg? Azur blinked, but the man already left with his Pokemons. He...he suppose he'll take these... Anyway, he rides Lacus and returned to the other two.

[Ettie Carnall]

On the seas once more, Ettie would let out a relaxed sigh; simply enjoying the sun against her skin, and the breeze through her hair, as she rode along on Vannifar. Bran, having once more taken to perching on Ettie's head, would settle himself down with a gentle tweet; beady eyes peering out at their surroundings as they went, though not seeming to find much more than the occasional wild pokemon drifting along, as well as the relatively calm waves that made the water's surface look as though it were glimmering in the sunlight.

Aurien and Cassie, meanwhile, would be following from beneath the surface; seemingly keeping an eye out from below, to avoid another Carvannha ambush. As they swam along though, the duo would notice something nearby... A Qwilfish! Cassie, curious, would approach the pufferfish - Aurien close behind - though... When she got a little too close, the Qwilfish would suddenly puff up in warning, nearly doubling its size! This seemed to startle the Popplio enough for her to back off - getting the signal, and seeing that the Qwilfish didn't appreciate her getting so close up to it. As the two Popplio backed off, the Qwilfish would slowly deflate once more, before swimming off.

As they watched the Qwilfish wander off though, the duo couldn't help but share a quiet laugh; glancing up to see the shadow of Lacus passing by on the water's surface. With their curiosity over the Qwilfish sated, the duo would resume following after everyone - briefly surfacing for a lungful of air, before submerging once more!

Ettie, meanwhile, glanced over to see Azur catching up to them - and she'd smile brightly to him, waving as he neared. "I can't wait to learn to patch up pokemon like you do, Azur!" She'd happily giggle to him in clear admiration, bringing Vannifar alongside Lacus. "Do you think you could teach me some, when we get to Bass?"

[Shalin Nariya]

While Shalin was a little disappointed Azur seemed unwilling to give controlling the speedy Prower a try, she understood. After all, the Floatzel was the fastest water Pokémon she had, and that Razor Wind was trouble even for Ettie. Disappointed, Prower floated alongside Lacus for a while, eventually lifting his tails out of the water and whirling them so fast he sounded like a small marine engine. The moment he dipped them back into the water, he zoomed toward Shalin.

The water-type was creating a wake that was quite large for a Pokémon its size, the wake causing a wild Qwilfish to get stuck on the inside of a large Corsola reef. Corsola in numbers this large meant they were starting to approach the shallower underwater shelf - a sign that the three were getting close to their destination.

Prower zipped past Classie, his wake rocking Shalin and the Lapras about stronger than a Floatzel should have been able to. He circled the two rapidly, his path arcing wider as he sped up more. Not happy with Prower being as bothersome as a Cutiefly, she reared her front fins out of the water, a cold mist covering them as Shalin clutched her precious egg more tightly. Her mount let out a loud cry as the Lapras flash-froze the water underneath her four fins, accelerating along the slick ice. "Whoa!" Shalin yelped as the riled-up Lapras sped after Prower with her Ice Shard.

[Azur Schild]

Little that the two knew, Azur actually has been training a bit with his Pokemons. Kuuhaku the Ditto is now very confident that they could copy the speedy Prower. And that's what they're doing. The Ditto transformed into a Floatzel and easily cut through the waves. Azur now knew what sort of beast are Floatzel. Unlike when riding Lacus for example, riding the Floatzel transformed Kuuhaku is like a sea otter cub hanging to their mother. Which means, Kuuhaku pretty much asking Azur's help to navigate while they cut the travel time. Not sure if this is a great idea though. It's practically like surfboarding, except one where you're laying flat on your board rather than standing on top of it. It didn't take long for them to catch up thankfully, and soon Kuuhaku transformed into the more stable Vannifar instead.

"Pfeh, I don't think I'll like Floatzel, a bit too extreme for me. Sorry Kuuhaku," Azur told the Ditto, who raised their tentacle to tell him that it's fine. "I think Tentacruel is better for me..." And soon they found Ettie waving at them. Oh, good, looks like she's not being reckless... contrary to the one on the front.

Hmmm, so Ettie wanted to learn more about first aid techniques? "Sure, that's fine with me," Azur replied. "I'll give you some first aid tips and also where to find berries. Might be great thing to remember in emergency! What do you want to know first? How to wrap bandages? How to treat common wounds? Or how to administer first aid on common internal injury?"

Speaking of which, there was a Frillish nearby... as much as Azur feel that it'll be a nice addition to his team, he decided against. After all... At this point people could say that he's something like a Nessa wannabe with how many Water Pokemon available in his PC... He'd skip this one he guess.

[Ettie Carnall]

It seemed that Shalin, Classie, and Prower were all having fun - glancing off to the side, Ettie would see Classie speeding along on the ice after Prower, as Shalin hung on for dear life with a yelp - prompting a gentle giggle from the young girl. Fast was fun, and were this route any longer, she might've given Classie a try next - although she was happy with Vannifar as well, for the time being. The tentacruel offered a very smooth and pleasant ride, with all the same speed as Prower - something that she enjoyed greatly.

Bran seemed to enjoy the smoother ride as well; having practically made a little nest out of Ettie's messy hair, and snuggled down into it. All that could be seen of the small bird now was the little beady eyes that'd peek out from above her hair - still continuing to observe their surroundings as per usual.

Before long though, Azur had caught up to the group - and he seemed more than happy to teach Ettie a little bit about first aid, when she asked! The young girl would perk up with a bright smile at this; visibly eager to learn, although the slightly clueless expression she'd soon give as Azur began listing off the options seemed to make her blink a bit. Where did Ettie want to start first...? "Uhm..."

Humming a bit, she'd look herself over - particularly at her arms - and then glance back at Azur. "I think... Maybe how to treat wounds, and find berries, to start? I kind of know a little bit about wrapping bandages, and that it's important to keep stuff clean! And though it wasn't hard for me to get berries and potions while in Plum City, I don't know as much about searching around in the wild." She'd respond, her expression visibly thoughtful.

Glancing off to the side, Ettie could see a sailor on a little boat; rowing along in the opposite direction as his seel and clauncher swam alongside him. Giggling, she'd share a wave with the much larger man, and Cassie and Aurien would both bwark in greeting to the Seel as well!

Shalin firmly held onto the base of Classie's largest shell spike, little friction between her soft underside and the ice from her flippers slowing her down. After looking back and forth across the waves a few times, she had understood what had gotten her Lapras so riled up - Prower was racing alongside Azur, whose Ditto had copied both him and Vannifar's forms. The excited water-type flipped his tails out of the water for a moment and whirled them, roaring like a revving car engine for a moment, as to egg the transformed Pokémon. "Leave them alone, Prower!" she shouted loudly enough to be heard. Hanging his head low at first, the Floatzel reluctantly obeyed his trainer's orders.

As the mist surrounding Classie's fins became less dense, freeing the water just enough for the Lapras to glide on the surface without going into an all-out Ice Shard dash, it seemed Ettie was adapting to Vannifar well. As much as the rider wanted to give the Floatzel more attention, they wouldn't have time--the piers were on the horizon, Shalin barely able to make out a family and a Slowpoke fishing off the longest dock.
