It was comforting to know she wasn't the only one afraid of flying. She'd had to take a Pigeot though, otherwise there would have been no way to get to Celadon in time for the celebrations. In a way she was glad that Ron had forced her to fly that last time. She felt a little depressed after her battle with Misty. She'd gotten a badge, but Amaranth took a bad knock to the head and still wasn't feeling better. "Nice view, isn't it?" Ron's words prompted Mandy to look down. Celadon was beautiful at night. Twinkling lights and a fine layer of snow. Mandy almost forgot her fear of heights. Almost. "Eeep." Fortunately the Pidgeot made a smooth landing in front of the P.E. building. Mandy released Ember, her flames casting a glow on all the splendor around them. Silently they walked to the Pokecenter. Mandy was glad to be there, she wanted Amaranth to get checked up on. About half an hour later Nurse Joy called Mandy over. "Your oddish has a concussion. She'll be fine, but it will take a few days. Don't use her to fight any battles." "Thank you. I've been worried about her," Mandy said. Mandy was so relieved that she didn't notice Ron sneaking away. Ron walked seemingly aimlessly. He knew where to go, but he needed to make it look like he was just going for a walk. After a while he came to a side street and turned into an alleyway. "I know you're here. Come out," he called into the darkness. TBC It would be really great if an actual rocket met Ron in the alley, not just my non-descript Rocket woman. I haven't put out Ron's WG for a while, but he's a slightly inept 15 yr old boy who's pretending to have been kicked out of TR for having a dumb motto, while actually using that as a cover. He's travelling with Mandy so he can also use the cover of a starting out trainer to steal pokemon. -Susan, Jedi Hamster Official WDTSF Spontaneous Vocalization Specialist; Director of Unexpected Screaming.
