"Come back, you bastard!" Too bad he's still running. "Next time I see you, I'll turn you to ashes! You hear me?!" I can just see him getting further and further away. My flames start to go out. "Come back..."
If I don't clash, I don't change. The world ends at my borders, and the best moments slip away.The cat has already made his clean escape.
Or else, he would have... if it wasn't for his visitor on his back.
Long live the New Bev.Mila does not respond, though her breathing is regular (if ragged). There's some blood on her fur, but a trivial inspection will reveal that it doesn't come from any wounds on her own body. Any nosy psychics would learn... absolutely nothing, except that she's out cold. She's expended nearly everything she had stored up in her heroic escape.
I need to update these things more often[My head is spinning; once more, I'm gasping for air. I roll off of Niles, my snout colliding with the ground for the second time tonight. Pushing myself up, I can feel the fresh wounds on my chest as the chill wind hits them: a wipe across with my hand and...is...is that my...it's looking a little dark...]
"Oh..." [I realize. Finley.]
[I look over at Niles, regaining a bit of my sense.] "Niles," [I say,] "Niles...we...we need t'get to...we need t'ghet t'Finley..."

*the Excadrill and Blissey move in toward Eliot* Don't worry, we're here to help. Soft-Boiled! *it uses to help patch Eliot's wound, as the Excadrill moves to bandage Eliot*
*Voxno shifts to Unown-V form
◊ and determines, after a semi-thorough look over* No external wounds appear to be present. Minor bruising around the skull, possibly self-inflicted. *Voxno then gets one of the lookyloos present who knows how to use healing moves on the fainted Mila...the result is...*

Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.The cat suddenly finds himself collapsing on the floor.
"Ugh... wh-what?"
The next thing he hears is Andy, commenting on the grossness of the situation.
...
He reaches behind, trying to pull him off.
Long live the New Bev.[Pushing myself up, I just let these guys bandage me up...already, I'm feeling a bit better, though most everything's kind of a blur now... My legs barely holding me up, I lean on Niles for support...]
"Yea, yea, I'm..." [I wave the voice off.]
[...it just occurred to be that Niles is bigger. Did he evolve? He must have...I guess...I guess it was during the fight, huh?]

"Do you realize how dangerous it was to follow someone like me, especially if you're a pacifist?"
Long live the New Bev.

*the Excadrill asks Eliot as he and the Blissey work to bandage his wounds* Can you walk, sir? I don't know what you folks were thinking, street brawling and all, but luckily the hospital is maybe thirty steps away.
*meanwhile at the fountain, with no other guild members present and not wanting to leave the scene, Voxno-V organizes a couple good samaritans to carry Mila north, toward the same hospital*
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus."A great group of guys... Don't be mistaken. I don't kill for pleasure. I kill because I have to."
He begins walking off.
"Don't bother following me. I'd worry more about my friends, if I were you."
Long live the New Bev."It's simple. I need to do it. It doesn't get deeper for that. No reason I need it. I just need to do it. Now, stop following before I change my mind about killing you."
Long live the New Bev.

*the Blissey chides the Excadrill, somewhat figuring out what Eliot was doing* What have I told you about prejudging people? This nice man was clearly trying to rescue his friend...maybe it's even that lady we just brought in?
*the pair finish bandaging Eliot and the Blissey tells him* Are you feeling up to it? It's just a few steps to the hospital, and we'll be with you for each of them. *they move to physically assist Eliot toward the hospital*
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus.(With the hubbub in front of the hospital toning down, I go inside the lobby. Marsha and the others remain outside. Coming in, I'm surprised to see Gloria the Chansey still at her (still tattered looking) reception desk despite the incident several days ago and her arm and foot being in casts.)
(I know that I probably won't be able to see whoever it was who just got brought in, so I simply move to the waiting area without saying a word.)
("I can't believe this happened! Is one of our group about to die? I just..." I bury my face in my hands again. I sit there like that for several minutes until I wind up falling asleep.'')
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."

*the Blissey and Excadrill, who left the hospital, can only look on at the horror unfolding in front of them* At least they picked a decent spot for their little fight to the death... *the Excadrill remarks*
That's not funny! These pokemon could be killed! *the Blissey retorts*
*turning to his companion, the Excadrill states coldly* Well it's not like we can do anything. It's too dangerous to try to approach that wounded Smeargle. Where the hell are the cops anyway?
*meanwhile, having caught wind of the brawl though keeping its distance, Voxno notices the prone Mila as the smokescreen fades. shifting to Voxno-! form from the excitement, it floats up to Mila* Mila!! Ohmygosh Mila!! Wake up! *having some basic medical training, despite being in its ditzier form, it takes Mila's pulse, relieved that she still has one*
