Eterna is a strange place. It has the feel of both the past and modern times. Bright and colorful shops and tall towers are amidst overgrown foliage and cracked, ancient buildings.

Before going exploring, though, I had something else to take care of. I went to the Pokemon Center and asked for a heal on my whole team. Cheryl accompanied me this far, but said that she had something to take care of in the town. She gave Royal and Cole a quick pet, one that they seemed to enjoy very much, and smiled as she walked away. Royal must have stared for an instant too long, though, because he got a tail full of electric pulses as my Luxio 'gave him a message.'

I put them all back in their balls and gave them, Buneary included, to the nurse, asking her to find out all she could about the Buneary. I explained my curiosity, and she seemed to understand, telling me that it'd take a bit longer, but she'd be sure that I had all the physical data on my Pokemon, especially the Buneary.

I was relieved, but now I'm kinda bored. I could go tour the town, but I would hate to do it without my Pokemon. I suppose I could serve as an informed tour guide to my curious group, but I don't think I should be wandering around without them for too long. After all, I saw an unsettling amount of Team Galactic grunts on my way to the center. In fact, one of them walked up to me just as I entered the town, and I informed him politely that I wouldn't stand for any of his shenanigans.

Actually I didn't say anything at all. I was still feeling ill about what I had to do with Buneary, and all I really did was translate my mood into my eyes. My trio was quick to growl in a very convincingly life-threatening way, as well. He made the decision to walk away while he could still use his legs.

Writing that cheered me up a bit, but the anticipation is starting to get to me. I know that the Buneary is going to be ok, but that just means that my methods had good turnout. I'm still not happy with the means...

I'm going to go for a walk.
