The camera clicks on to a view of Nanao in a rather different outfit to before - instead of the kimono or black shihakushou, she's wearing green tracksuit pants, and a navy vest. She's also leaning over a bed, and her back obscures whatever is resting on it.

"Shh, shh, you'll be alright." She sounds exhausted, and her trousers are damp and dirty. The camera moves, going around to the other side of the bed.

Curled up on what looks to be Nanao's jacket with a miniature oxygen mask on it's small snout and an IV line is the tiniest Charmander you've ever seen. Breath rattles unsteadily in and out of it's chest, and the tail flame, which should be bright and orangey-red is instead a mere flicker of what it should be. Nanao brushes a single finger over it's head lovingly, slowly.

"Skaaa..." The sound comes from a small Skarmory, perched up on the pillow. Nanao turns to look at it, and gives it a gentle pat. Her face has a few smears of mud on it, and some suspicious tracks that might have been made by tears.

"I know, Jyuu. All we can do now is hope that Renji is strong enough to pull through this." Her voice cracks, and she bites her lip, eyes glimmering overbright behind her glasses. Behind the camera, there comes a deep "Kadaaa", and a large three fingered hand reaches across the bed to squeeze Nanao's shoulder. Her own hand reaches up to squeeze it, and the feed times out to the view of Nanao's Pokemon clustering close around her.

[For a moment, he's silent and just watching the feed, before he sighs. So, he's not the only one who got sick in all that ice and rain.]

You were out in the storms, weren't you?

{Nanao starts, before her hands skitter over the blankets, and seize the 'Gear.

When she speaks, her voice is hoarse.}

It wasn't too bad for the first few days, but yesterday... Yesterday was terrible.

[That earns her a frown, slightly concerned. Nanao...]

I'm aware. Have the nurses said how good his chances are?

{Her hands are shaking slightly, and the picture is blurring, so she sets the 'Gear down again.}

He'd wandered off - he does that a lot - and we'd just settled down for a break, and then there was this screaming...

{Her hands clench into fists, white-knuckle tight, and her voice goes tight and broken}

It was a Qwilfish, at levels too powerful for any of mine to fight it off alone - let alone Renji...!

{A thin trickle of blood drips out from her clenched fists. She doesn't notice.}

[His eyes narrow, showing more concern and...perhaps a hint of anger, before he shakes his head.]

Your hands, Ise. Hurting yourself won't undo what's already been done. [A pause, and he sighs. Knowing that doesn't make it any easier to take.]

{For a moment, it seems that she hasn't heard him, until slowly, her fists uncurl, her palms a cut and bloody mess.}

I ran. I picked him up and, and I left the rest of them behind - I don't think I've ever run so fast in my life.

{She flattens her palms into the sheets, white linen staining crimson.}

They say he should live, but he was already so small...

[Woman, you're going to make him start worrying if you keep this up. Good thing his hair is already white.]

It's instinct. We've been trained to defend those who can't fight for themselves.

[Another pause, and he tilts his head to the side a little. Nevermind the Dratini that's slithering into the feed to give a sad little "Draaaaa" at you, Nanao.]

If he's anything like his trainer, he'll pull through.

{It seems to be a specialty of hers - worrying the youth out of Hitsugaya-taichou}

It's not just that... He was just new-hatched, and being a fire-type, out in the rain... I've never actually had to do something like this before though. And it scared me.

{Nanao may not notice Hyourinmaru, but a babby Skarmory does, and wiggles a steely wing at the dragon. Hullo! Who you?}

Thanks for the compliment, Hitsugaya-taichou. I can but hope you're right...

...will the little guy be alright?

{Oh look! It's the nice man who helped her back in Cherrygrove.}

Ah - they think his chances are good, but he's just so small...

[And he's...still in Cherrygrove! Way to overachieve, Ken.]

Sometimes the smallest of us are the strongest.

[...hi, cliche. But hey, Ken's not the biggest guy himself.]

{That's ok... Nanao spent a week getting from New Bark to Cherrygrove, after all.}

I hope so, but... It was a Level 40, and Renji is new hatched. They still don't know what kind of after-effects it will have on him as he grows, because the poison was just so strong.

They said if I hadn't run as fast as I did, he probably wouldn't have made it.

{Neither's Nanao - but even so, there's only so much punishment a body can take before it fails}

...well, he'll pull through, I'm sure. What happened?

A Qwilfish. Looks like a turquoise puffer fish. They're also insanely highly leveled.

It's also a poison type. That's why I'm so worried...
