He sat up and looked around. The small group.. Seth and his friends were gone, and John could smell rice balls from his point. "I'll never understand how some people mistake them for donuts," he thought to himself. Looking around, he saw the origin of the smell. Someone had left a couple near his bed. "Hospital food..." he muttered. Nevertheless, he took one of the balls and slowly chewed. It hurt to do so, but he was hungry and fought his way through every bite. Once he was finished, he reached for a nearby mirror and looked in it. "The Black Fog really did a number on me," John said out loud. His left eye was blackened, a small cut was on his left cheek, his other cheek was bruised, and strange enough, a cut formed a V between his eyes, so he looked like he was mad at something. John got out of bed and noticed he had a small sprain. Not one that requires crutches, but enough to impair walking. "Ouch. My back still hurts from that flight through the house." John decided he'll never take another flght from Pokémon Air again. It hurts too much. A doctor came into the room. "John, I see you're feeling better." "Really? You could have fooled me. Every bone in my body aches. I won't win any prizes for beauty. And I can't even eat without forcing myself through each bite. You doctors exaggerate everything." "Sigh, Patients like this make me wish I'd become a lawyer," the doctor thought, then left. As John looked around, he noticed Ariel was missing. Her Pokéball was still on John's belt, but she wasn't in it. "Where could she have gone?" John thought. Outside, the feline eyes followed Seth and Aerie to as they walked through Lavender. They didn't notice it until they heard a loud "Persain!" Aerie whirled around, almost dropping Seth and was surprised when Slasher leaped out of the alley, a Vaporeon attached to its tail. Slasher shook Ariel off, then the two circled each other, growling all the time. "Slasher! Ariel! Calm down!" cried Aerie, and when that didn't work, Seth released a Flamethrower, catching the two off guard. Ariel and Slasher fell to the grund, blackened. "Perssss..." said Slasher. "Don't give me that, Slasher! You shouldn't have followed us so mysteriously. It made you look like a threat to Ariel." Slasher got up and followed Seth and Aerie, his head drooped down and a sad look on his eyes. Ariel got up as well, frosted Slasher's tail with an Ice Beam, then went back to the hospital to see how her trainer was doing.
