Mithril-rama had a slice of pizza and some fruit, while Robert grabbed a simple sandwich with fries. Both of them ate in silence, lost in their own thoughts. Robert was anxious about his gym battle later that day, while Rilli wondered about Nurse Joy's condition and life in general. It didn't take long to finish the meal, and the young trainers headed for the hospital, not too far away. A receptionist working at the desk looked up as they entered. "May I help you?" Mithril-rama fidgeted a little uncomfortably. "Well, Nurse Joy was brought here last night, and we were wondering how she was doing..." "Ah, yes." The woman nodded and flipped through some records. "The patient lost a lot of blood, it was a good thing she got to the hospital quickly. She's been through surgery and the wounds are still sensitive, but it looks like she's going to make it." "Is it possible for us to see her?" Robert asked. The receptionist shook her head. "I'm afraid not. Nurse Joy's stab wound wasn't light, and she's still in bad condition. She shouldn't have any visitors until she's had a chance to heal and stabilize the wounds first." Rilli shuddered lightly, still spooked by the horrifying violence from last night. "Well, thank you for your help. Maybe we'll come back another time." ----- Mithril-rama took a deep breath as she stepped out the hospital doors, clearing her lungs of the sterile medicine smell of the infirmary. "I guess it's on to the Cinnabar Gym... it's not too far from here, right?" Robert looked around the surrounding streets. "Nope, not if I remember right from last time!" After surprising little amount of wandering around, the two ended up in front of the doors of Cinnabar Gym. Gathering up his confidence, Robert walked through the door for the second time...
