[Eiji meanwhile, had gone completely silent. His shoulders tensed as he suddenly plunged into that emotional maelstrom. He'd touched minds with pokemon dozens of times but nothing had ever been like this. Nothing had ever been so solid and vivid. ]

[He snaps to and suddenly his vision is filled with the clouds above. He's disoriented and deeply unsettled and unsure of why his throat feels so raw and his ear hurts so badly.]
[Chryse is crying from the bench in distress and Hina seems to have bitten his ear bloody in an attempt to get him to snap out of it.]
