It's a fine spring morning when Ellie Pine, Junior Research Assistant, finishes the invention that will make her name. Eventually. Once she demonstrates it. And probably improves it a little, right now it requires psychic talent but-
Direct, two-way communication between humans and pokemon. It'll be a game-changer. She screws the cover plate shut and hooks it to the nylon strap.
She whistles. "Eevee! Here, girl!"
"Intrepid, if you don't mind?" Assuming assent is given, she'll swap the collar over.
She gives assent, mostly squashing her reflexive internal 'but it's mine.'
"I don't want to leave dad," Flareon says to Ellie, "But I do really like you guys, and I like battles."
"Dad has money, too, and like months of food stored up, and there's our house - but we'd have to bring in outside water to stay there - but if you're in this city for a bit we could use all that?"
"I'd feel a bit bad about using his supplies if he's going to need them while he recovers," she says.
"We can ask when he's awake. But I think all of us should be fine eating my food..."
Hee.
"Okay, so Flareon's donating food. That takes some of the constant drain off. We should go grab some of that first so we can then focus on other things. I think the first thing I want to do is build another collar or two; some of you can continue the investigation while I do that if you don't want to sit around?"
She wants to go check on her dad first (the doctor thinks he'll be waking this afternoon), then to her house! They should possibly check anything really easily poisoned for that, but it seems to have been just the well that was hit - but there's definitely plenty of pokemon food, and Flareon thinks ahead to have them bring something to transport stuff in. (She also wants to get things like her bed and blanket and stuffed toys and favorite bowl, since she wants to stay closer to the hospital.)
Sure, they can grab all that too. Does Flareon want to set up in Ellie's room, or somewhere else?
"Here's good if you don't mind. The hospital doesn't really have anywhere for me to stay."
Heeee.
Off to the hospital first, then?
(She can also give the collar back to Intrepid.)
