In mere minutes, they neared the tunnel's end. Thick vines blocked their path, vines which suddenly shoved aside like a curtain being drawn back. Sarah Jane considered glancing back at Dee, but decided against it. He seemed so comfortable with the power she had almost hid from in herself. She could not help but feel a pang of...irritation? Anger? She was not certain at that moment, and felt it best not to encourage her own dark side. "How much further?" "Well...maybe if we make our own shortcut." Another burst of power, and the gravel in the distance rose up to form a ramp over the fence. It felt a bit spongy as Starfire rode over it; she felt Dee flinch as Ferdinand added his own weight, but the ramp held until they were over the fence, jumping through a hole in the trees to a plain. A rattata fell from a branch into Starfire's path, possibly seeking to ambush them or possibly the victim of some tussle in the trees. Either way, it did not reach eye level before another surge batted it high into the sky with a *CRACK*. Sarah Jane frowned. "That sounded like its spi-" "Pokemon center, twelve o'clock." Starfire had started to slow down when they crested a hill and suddenly came into view of the building, but she had been going fast and the pavement was slick. Another, lesser surge opened the door as Sarah Jane heard Ferdinand clomp to a stop behind them. Starfire managed to slide through the doorway, coming to a stop just short of the main desk, where a wide-eyed Nurse Joy suddenly had a wounded Natu thrust in her face. "Emergency delivery." TBC?
