"Why not. It'll be solved twice as fast with two people on the job!" Mark grinned. Ebony didn't seem so bad. Interuppting each one's thoughts, Nurse Joy came out of the Extensive Care Room, holding the Rattata and Weedle. The two Pokemon looked much better, even if they both had white bandages wrapped tightly around their heads. "Rattata tat! Tatta tatta!" The Rattata chattered excitedly, bounding out of Nurse Joy's arms and attaching itself to Ebony's face. "Whoa!" Caught off guard by the hyper little Pokemon, Ebony almost fell over, saved only by Mark, who caught her arm. "Er, thanks." Ebony murmured, blushing ever so faintly. Mark, also a bit embarrassed, turned to Nurse Joy. "Nurse Joy, do you have any idea what burned those Pokemon so badly?" He asked. The woman shook her head. "The only thing I can tell you is that it's something that's never been here before. And it's definately up to no good." By this time, Ebony had managed to pry the Rattata off her face, and set it on her shoulder. Mark's new Weedle chirped as they left the Pokemon Center. "So...what do we do now?" -Karana
