Once more into the breeches, dear friends!
I'm keeping the Buneary.
Before you go saying I'm being selfish or cruel, I have something to say. Write, rather.
She has Pokerus. Well, had it. Her tests came back positive for the antibodies, and the only way to be immune to the 'rus is if you've had it before.
According to my father's research, the Pokerus is a strange ailment, a virus passed through physical contact from Pokemon to Pokemon. It's extremely rare, and, though it's not known exactly how, the virus attacks the body's mutation energy reserves. Instead of depleting them, however, it just messes with the output. Normally, when a Pokemon fights, they get a little stronger, and, when they level up, it all comes to the surface.
But when the Pokemon is under the Pokerus, their energy goes haywire. It thinks it's doing a lot more work than the Pokemon is actually performing, so when it levels up, massive changes in strength, speed, and whatever else they were trained in while under the influence.
All of my Pokemon are still in their balls, and I'm staring at the Buneary's ball on the table in front of me. I also learned it was a female. I still didn't know the whole story, but I was determined to treat her good. Besides, it was the nurse's idea that I continue to monitor her, just to make sure that the Pokerus had no ill effects.
That... and something told me there was more to her story. I wasn't the best in picking out what Pokemon were saying, but I needed to find out what had happened to her before I found her in the woods.
Oh, and I need to pick out a name for her.
I wonder which one she'd like?
There is only one way to find out.
