Video + Action in Union

[sparrowfeathered]

[Action]

[It was a long hike back, and Rose spent the night in the medical center. Her wounds were such that they wanted to keep an eye on her. While Enlightened healing powers can do a lot, she is still on the mend. She looks it, too; she has a blue button-up shirt on, but the white bandages along her torso for her broken ribs are visible where the sleeves end and near her neckline.]

[Not to mention her left arm, which is in a sling, and black and blue bruises on her face. She looks like she's seen better days. But, she's out, and she has a mind to take a walk. Unfortunately... she doesn't really have the energy for it.]

[So about halfway through the walk, Rose is sitting down on a bench along one of Union's roads, trying to rest. Behind her, a Blaziken is fussing -- Efreet, who evolved on the way home.]

[Video, sometime later]

[Eventually, Rose does get back to the Tycoon estate. She's resting, then, but the room is visible behind her when she flips on the warp band. She smiles down at it; her face is a bit less puffy, now. Enlightened healing is a thing.]

Hey, everybody. So... that got intense, huh?

How's everyone holding up?

More water, huh? I'll have to do that. I'm from Caldera, but... probably shouldn't get cocky while I'm on the mend.

You shouldn't get cocky no matter where you're from. Heat stroke and heat exhaustion can affect anyone, even those accustom to higher temperatures. But if you ever feel the symptoms, please feel free to come by the center. And remember to eat lighter foods too. Berries are a wonderful source of natural water within the juices as well.

[sparrowfeathered]

Y-Yeah, I'll definitely do that! Berries, huh?

They are pretty tasty.

[allergictoloveletters]

Indeed they are. And more than that, they can help you and your pokemon with mild conditions like burns, poisons, and many other ailments.

But when in doubt, a bottle of water will always do the trick.

[sparrowfeathered]

Huh... Someone gave me water, earlier.

It really does fix everything? Or, um, makes you feel better.

[allergictoloveletters]

Well, not to go into too much detail but here are just five of many reasons to drink water.

1. Drinking Water Helps Maintain the Balance of Body Fluids.

2. Water Can Help Control Calories.

3. Water Helps Energize Muscles.

4. Water Helps Keep Skin Looking Good.

5. Water Helps Your Kidneys.

I can go into much greater detail but that's just some of the things good hydration can do.

[sparrowfeathered]

Th... that's a lot of things that water can do!

[allergictoloveletters]

That's just some of them as well... Although forgive me for improper grammar. But water is absolutely incredible, even fire and ground types need proper internal hydration.

[sparrowfeathered]

N-No kidding! I didn't really know. I mean... I had water, of course, a lot. I wonder if I can sell it, sometimes...

[allergictoloveletters]

Others sell water, I don't see why you couldn't, but we do get it for free from our plumbing.

But you should at least drink a liter a day, and even then that isn't actually enough. Thankfully, water intake can be assisted by foods as well.

[sparrowfeathered]

I do pretty good on the food front! But maybe I'll drink more water.

[And think about how to sell it. You can't sell something that's free.]

[allergictoloveletters]

A wise decision, and water infused with fruit also adds to their benefits as well.

[sparrowfeathered]

Mm-hmm! Water with fruit sounds good...

Thanks for all the ideas. This'll definitely help me get back in tip-top shape!

[allergictoloveletters]

Not at all, I'm glad I could be of assistance. If you are in need of further tips and nutritional aid, I would be happy to provide or give you the referral to one of my fellow medics who specializes in nutrition.

[sparrowfeathered]

I might hafta take you up on that, after I'm recovered!

[allergictoloveletters]

Recovered? What happened?

[sparrowfeathered]

I ran into the emperor of Gigas. It was crushing.

Not, like, emotionally.

[allergictoloveletters]

I see, I was at the command center, I'm sorry we could not provide more help.

[sparrowfeathered]

Hey, that's not your fault. We all got in over our heads.

[allergictoloveletters]

Perhaps so, but there are always ways to calculate and adjust for even the worst of scenarios...
