It was just after the rescue mission to save Blue from Team Rocket's clutches. The trainer had been recovered in very poor condition, her body having suffered greatly in their care. She now laid in a hospital bed where she was being nourished back to health. It was rather lonely laying there, but she supposed that was just the life she'd chosen. Alone. With her frankly startling beauty she could've easily rectified this, but Blue couldn't expect anyone to understand her way of life. All the boys in her life wanted to claim ownership of her anyway, and she wasn't one to be controlled.

She just quietly hoped Yellow was doing alright.

[Coolshaymin]

Yellow walked into the Hospital again. She already took Blue here before going out to wait with her team... But she had trouble getting Blue's condition off her mind. Sure, she found Red injured a few times but she did help him before... And yet she let the Hospital handle Blue? Felt kind of wrong to not at least be by her side while she recovers from what the Rockets did.

Chuchu sat on Yellow's shoulder as she walked over to the Nurse Joy currently running the front desk. "Can I see Blue?" Yellow requested as she held up a picture she drew of Blue.

For some reason the Nurse looked up before a look of... adorement showed up on her face? She was looking at Yellow with eyes that might be considered sparkly... It was kind of awkward until she cleared her throat and seemed to get serious for a moment. "I am sorry but it is too soon for her to have visitors."

Yellow took a moment to respond. She had to shake off that look the Nurse Joy was giving to her. "I can help her. It's not like I will get in the way. Please?" Yellow argued with Chuchu nodding in agreement.

The Nurse seemed to consider it for a moment before moving away from the desk. "Well, okay!~ But just for you two!~" The nurse said before leading the way... The nurse was being a tad creepy... And the fact she said two did not hit Yellow since she did have Chuchu with her. She did hesitate and share a look with her Pikachu before following though. "You have a visitor, Blue!~" The strange nurse stated as she let Yellow in... That nurse was still weird.

"Hi, Blue. I wanted to check on you. Are you feeling anybody? Is there anything I could help with?" Yellow greeted.

Blue was laying in a hospital bed in a hospital-provided gown. It was rare that she appeared this humble, her hair a bit messier than she'd ever allow it to be normally and a certain exhaustion to her features. Her eyes cracked open as the nurse called to her however, trailing to Yellow as the other entered. A smile crossed her face. That was nice. She didn't like laying around and sleeping anyway. It wasn't healthy. Having a friend over though--That gave her a reason to stay awake.

"I've felt better... The food here isn't the best." she replied softly, smiling softly at Yellow. She hesitated a moment before hesitantly sitting up. It seemed a tad difficult for her. "But there is... one thing you can do for me, cutie~ Would you mind helping me sort out my hair and telling me how you've been making out for yourself here..?" Blue requested, shaking her head gently. She was apparently asking for some assistance brushing. It was probably because she didn't have a brush on hand at the moment, but one might not put it past her to use this as an opportunity for bonding.

[Coolshaymin]

Yellow watched Blue as she tried to sit up. She felt like she should tell her to not exert herself. Rocket probably put her through a lot before she could get her here. She seemed fine after a moment so Yellow put her hands down. Then Blue requested help with her hair. That was kind of surprised considering Yellow did not put nearly as much thought or concern for her appearance as Blue. Sure, she put an effort to look decent but not the kind that Blue must put into her appearance. Though the cutie comment hung in her mind a bit longer before she managed to keep herself calm.

She at least did bring a brush and a few other supplies with her. Fortunately that cosplay kit the gorilla threw at her earlier had some extra stuff in it for this. She usually had some of this to maintain her own hair of course. She did not really have it when she came to Li though. Might of been a good idea in case some Water Pokemon got mean she kind of realizes now. Still, she figured Blue's state from before might make bringing the leftovers helpful... Even if she was not expecting to do it.

"Sure, I can do that. Just living peacefully in Viridian City was probably too much to ask..." Yellow stated as she moved closer to Blue with a sigh. There always seemed to be something that came up that forced her to go against something. She was not really the type of trainer to be into all this battling. She pulled out the leftover brush and hesitantly began to mess with Blue's hair.

"I guess it's not been too bad yet though. I found this place pretty quickly... Though half of my Pokemon Friends are missing now. Ratty, Omny, Dodry and their Pokeballs weren't there when I woke up. I have not been able to find any of them yet so it's just me, Chuchu, Gravvy, Kitty and Randy for now," Yellow began. Chuchu jumped off Yellow's shoulder and ran in front of Blue to look at her with a tilt of her head.

[Mari]

Blue lolled her head towards Yellow encouragingly. It wouldn't be difficult for Yellow to work with her hair. All she needed was for it to be neat and straight. She probably could have taken the brush and done it herself, but she was slightly tired and goodness if there was ever an excuse to be lazy this was it. "I know... Half of mine are missing too. We can go get them back soon, alright?" Blue remarked, moving to gently pet Chuchu for a moment in acknowledgment of the pokemon. "...Yeah, this place is no Kanto. The air isn't fresh and there're odd things and people around every corner. You sure you've been making out alright?" Blue went on to ask, giving Yellow a knowing look. Almost as if she secretly knew about an encounter or two already.

[Coolshaymin]

Chuchu nuzzled against Blue's hand affectionately as she was petted. "You are missing half your team too? Do you think someone kidnapped them?" Yellow asked questioningly for a moment. That can't be right. How long was she out then before she woke up? How did they find her so quickly to take her Pokemon? There was so many questions. She was decently far from the Life Sphere...

Blue's next comment made her pause for a moment though. Did Blue know what happened back at the cave? She was wearing her hat but she did not know if Blue was watching... if she was... then... Yellow shook it off for a moment before continuing to fix the hair. "... Well... There was this girl called Iris... We were handling a strange Regirock. I fell asleep and... I woke up to her really close to me... She said she was trying CPR... But it sill felt wrong..." Yellow explained for a moment. She left out the whole part of her dreaming about Blue during it... That was way too flustering for her to mention.

[Mari]

Blue smiled in amusement at Chuchu, playfully brushing the side of her hand against the mouse pokemon's lower jaw. She already knew about the incident with Iris, of course. She'd hidden a tiny camera in Yellow's hat, just so she could keep an eye on the other. She didn't want her poor wittle Yellow meeting an unfortunate end, after all! "Kinda like... she was stealing a kiss from you, right?" Blue asked, frowning in memory. In truth she had seen the exchange first hand and already had her own judgements made, but she wasn't about reveal that knowledge to Yellow. It would raise too many questions, like how long that camera had been there and whether Blue was watching her sleep. Understandable questions, but not questions she wanted to be asked.

...Blue sighed gently, closing her eyes for a moment. She couldn't turn to address Yellow because her hair was being fixed, but she made the effort to draw the other's attention with her tone anyway. "I think you're right to feel that way. Want me to have a talk with her?" Blue went on to ask, itching for an excuse to be overt with her complaint.

[Coolshaymin]

Yellow paused for a moment when Blue mentioned the stealing the kiss once again. How did she jump to that conclusion so easily? Sure, she did seem rightfully uncomfortable about it... But that seemed right on the money... Did she know more than that? She was feeling her face get red. It was this moment she was happy Blue could not exactly turn fully around while she was doing her hair.

Either way she did not delay too long. She was not really comfortable with letting Blue know she got to her... Again. It was pretty comforting that she at least agreed with her... But she was not entirely sure about Blue fixing her problems for her... On her own at least. "... That sounds nice. I would really appreciate that, thanks... But could I be there too? I mean... It would not be right to push all of it on you..." Yellow requested. Chuchu meanwhile let Blue continue her attention on her as she swayed her tail a little and closed her eyes happily. "Chuchu still misses Pika a lot. I wonder what is up with Red..." Yellow mentioned. Her and Yellow have not seen any signs of Red since getting here. Which was especially hard on Chuchu considering Pika was her mate.

[Mari]

Blue smiled slightly when Yellow asked to be there when she confronted Iris. "...Well alright." she replied in amusement. "I'm not sure about Red, honestly. Hopefully he and Pika are in a better place than wherever this is." Blue went on to remark rather dryly. No offense to Yellow or Chuchu, but it seemed like being here was a bad idea for anyone's health. "I guess we can always go looking for them though. Maybe they wound up here too?" she quickly relented however, offering to go search for the missing trainer. She doubted he would be easy to find, mostly because he wasn't cute enough to warrant a hat camera, but she'd do anything if it meant making Yellow happy.

[Coolshaymin]

"Yeah... You are probably right..." Yellow responded to Blue and appeared to get a little down with Chuchu being in perfect sync at putting on a sad expression at Blue's comment that hopefully Red and Pika were in a better place. She remained silent and focused on finishing up Blue's hair for a moment while she processed Blue's suggestion. After a few moments of being silent she handed Blue a mirror.

"... I would love to find Red if he was in danger... But I don't even know if he is here like you said. It's not like I have any members of his team to tell me. It would be pretty dangerous if we don't even know he can be found. I understand you are suggesting it to make me happy... But I think we can hold off on that. I am sure Red can handle himself until we know he is here. Thanks for the offer though, Blue. You are a great friend," Yellow finally denied the suggestion and ended with a bit of a smile. Chuchu did not seem as down before either.

[Mari]

Blue took the mirror and nodded in approval of Yellow's answer. She'd rather stay here and protect her precious anyway. She then went on to flourish, performing a hair flip and admiring Yellow's work. "Thank you... You did good work." Blue remarked, putting down the mirror. She then moved to lay back, inadvertantly laying her head on Yellow's lap. Whether this was intentional or whether she just could not be bothered to ask the other to move wasn't clear, as she did not acknowledge it whatsoever.

"...Y'know, this world's in a lot of trouble Yellow. If Red is here, he'll probably be driven to the life sphere eventually. But if he isn't--I bet he's a lot safer than we are. Right now I'm worried about us. ...What do you know about Li, so far?" she asked softly.

[Coolshaymin]

"Glad you like it," Yellow said cheerfully. She did not really try to do anything new but it was nice to have her appreciate it. She was about to get up and give Blue some space... But was surprised when Blue laid back... And placed her head in her lap as a result. Yellow tried her best not to show her opinion of the situation, which turned into a bit deeper of breaths.

"Well, this girl called Rosalyn told me that the air was toxic because of the Starvia... And I think that was about it. I know it contains pieces of our world though. I am pretty sure I was in Viridian Forest still when I got here... Almost as if the whole place came with me... But everything is not in best shape and there are groups besides the ones against this place trying to make things worst..." Yellow paused for a moment at the end of that. It seemed she was thinking about something... And if Blue looked up she could tell Yellow was looking into Chuchu's eyes. Almost as if they were communicating something without really talking about it... Which was normal with Yellow's bond with her Pokemon.

"... That is about all I know everyone else does... But something is not right with it. I was told the Starvia was airborne... But Chuchu and my other Pokemon can tell the atmosphere is just a lot different than our world. There is more gases and stuff that makes the environment less healthy for us... But I am not sure the Starvia is that widespread. In fact, people have confirmed the Starvia is born from something called Shadow Bugs. Or at least are very similar. I don't know anything about those but if they were in the air I doubt we would not notice. At the very least I would think Chuchu and the others would. Maybe not though. I don't really have a Pokemon that is good with detecting that kind of thing more than normal..." Yellow explained the mental conversation her and Chuchu seemed to be having.

[Mari]

Blue thought about this for a long moment. "...I was kind of hoping for a vacation, y'know?" she mused aloud somewhat humorously, looking up at Yellow from her lap. She considered her words carefully before continuing. "But I guess we have to help these people fight for their world. There aren't really any other options." she went on to muse, folding her arms under her bosom. "...What do you say... we stick together for this one?" Blue finally offered. She was honestly afraid of letting Yellow do things on her own here. It seemed a tad bit more ... dangerous than their own world.

[Coolshaymin]

Yellow sighed in response to Blue's suggestion. She really could use a break from this whole saving the world thing. It seems like something always gets in her way of a peaceful life... Still, maybe with Blue it would all be okay anyway... And honestly, she would like to make sure Blue does not get captured again.

She did not really leave Blue waiting on that sigh for long. "I was hoping there would be more time before I had to help save the world again... But you are right. We should stick together this time. I don't want to see you hurt that badly again, okay?" Yellow replied with a smile.

[Mari]

Blue beamed up at Yellow for a moment, rather flattered by her statement. She knew she'd been in bad condition, and she of all people prized her body far too much to let herself get injured easily. Yet... "Sounds like a plan to me. Between you and me, you're the only person I can trust in this city. ...My nurse is pretty alright, though~" Blue replied somewhat light-heartedly.

"...For now though, I need to rest. Do you have a place to stay here? You can stay with me if you want. The bed isn't particularly comfy, though." Blue went on. She did seem a little tired, judging by her tone. If there was anything Yellow had on her mind at the moment, now would be the time to voice them.

...Had Blue just invited Yellow to share a bed with her? Apparently Blue was pretty comfy with sleepovers.
