Video + Action in Union

[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?

And we escaped. I'll count it as a win.... but it'll be rough if he comes here.

We're gonna have to be ready to fight them.

[windyflower]

Of course. I know I'll be whenever he shows up again.

I suppose it's the wait that's making me anxious.

[sparrowfeathered]

...Yeah. I wonder why we're waiting. Maybe just so he can round up all his troops.

[windyflower]

You don't think that's what he's doing!

...Do you? Shouldn't we round up all our troops too?

[sparrowfeathered]

We should definitely get ready for a war. I hope the Council -- the alliance -- is.

[windyflower]

I'm sure they will be. Otherwise, I'm sure we would have heard something by now.

If not...I'm not sure if I want to think about it.

[sparrowfeathered]

Mm... yeah.

They must be. And I think all of us are.

[windyflower]

I doubt there isn't anyone here who isn't. But I wonder just what can we do for now.

[sparrowfeathered]

I think we need to make sure we're as prepared as we can get.

[windyflower]

But how? I think that's the biggest problem we're facing right now.

[sparrowfeathered]

Training, I guess. Make sure we're as strong as we can be.

[windyflower]

Training huh? I'm not sure if I can handle it but I'll have to.

I don't think I have a choice.

[sparrowfeathered]

You can do it! It's hard work, but it'll pay off in the end.
