EV briskly trotted through the door, not looking back as she came inside and slid to the floor beside the futon, where Tunes and Chance were still sitting.
The girl looked down at the Flareon/Umbreon as she sat down, puzzled. Then she looked up and saw Angelo. "I guess whatever was going on has been resolved," she said quietly.

Ellie winced as she heard the door unwrap, hoping that it belonged to her Umbreon. She was relieved when she saw his slender, black fur through the doorway, followed by Vivian's red and yellow. She listened intently to what Tunes had to say. "Looks like it," she agreed, blinking curiously.
Angelo padded over to Ellie's bed, leaping onto it and curling up by her feet, happy that everything seemed to be fixing itself. Chance was still a brat, though, and Angelo was prepared to thwak him over the head an endless amount of times.

"You look much better!" Tunes said cheerily several days later as she walked into Ellie's room. In her hands she carried a cup of water and two pills of medicine. She put both down on the nightstand by the girl's bed and smiled.
Chance's ear twitched as she walked into the room, but he did not lift hi head from his paws as he lay on the futon. His fever had broken the day before, and he was no longer coughing, but he had a headache. EV, however, refused to give him any more medicine after his first episode, so he was baring it silently. "Can I get up now?" he asked quietly.
EV, who was lying below him, shrugged. "If you want."
The little Eevee's ears perked up, and he jumped from the futon and shook his pelt.

Ellie smiled as Tunes joined her, carrying a glass of water and two pills. "I feel much better," the teenage girl grinned, taking the pills of her nightstand. She put on in her mouth, grabbed the water, and swallowed the first one which was soon joined by the second pill. The blond wiped the droplets of water that stained her lips and chin.
Angelo watched EV and Chance from the corner of his eye. What a pansy. To think I attempted to comfort him when he was sick. He glared away, a smirk growing on his face. That's what I get for being such a nice person.

"Hopefully you're over this, we're running out of medicine," she laughed uneasily, rubbing the back of her head.
Chance stretched his legs, waving his long tail back and forth happily at finally feeling well enough to get up and move around. "How long have I been laying there?" he inquired, tilting his head to one side. After EV had given him the medicine, it had all become a blur to him. He had lost his sense of time.
"Couple days," EV replied, watching him from where she lay by the futon. "Five? Six?" She looked up at Angelo knowing that he had been paying attention.

"Yeah, I think I'm actually a lot better. I won't feel 100% for a couple of days after the sickness though, of course, but I think it's gone!" she cheered enthusiastically, feeling the strength returning to her body. Her skin was no longer pale and her beautiful platinum hair color had returned, the dullness fading.
Angelo caught EV's eyes and shrugged. ("Beats me, honestly. I took advantage of your solemness and caught some shuteye,") he retorted with a shrug, flashing a mischievous grin.

Tunes grinned. "Finally, everyone's healthy again!"
There was a knock from the outside of the room. "Can I come in?" Note called from inside. "Did I hear you're finally feeling better?"
EV narroed her eyes at the Umbreon, but her look remained good-natured. Since their little ordeal she had made it a point not to look so.... angry, which was a problem, since she was not really sure when she was doing it.
One of Chance's ears drooped as he looked between them. "Solemnness?... Oh, nevermind," he snorted, figuring that it was not important enough to worry about.

Ellie nodded, a smile stretching from ear-to-ear. She looked over as Note's voice echoed around the room. "Yes, you may," she called back, giggling slightly.
Angelo snorted at Chance's confused response. He noticed EV narrow her eyes, but she didn't look angry for once. He accepted it wordlessly and shut his eyes once again.

The teenage boy slowly walked into the room, smiling optimistically. "You think you're finally over the worst of it?" he asked, standing next to his sister.
"So I take it you don't remember anything that has happened in the last couple days, do you?" EV said, looking at Chance.
The little Eevee frowned. "I was awake?"

("You were more than awake,") the Umbreon muttered, his eyes still shut peacefully. He knew he wouldn't be getting any sleep after this. He hoped when they got back to the ranch, Tunes would have the intelligence to put a leash on him and throw him back in his Pokéball. That would teach him a lesson.
Ellie grinned. "Yeah, I believe so. I should be ready to kick some Team Rocket butt. Give me till tomorrow at least." Her blue eyes were brighter than they had been in months. She got up, removing the covers. She stood up steadily and made her way over to her dresser with ease. She pulled out her regular travel suit, a dreamy look coming across her face. "I haven't worn this stuff in so long..." She held the clothes tightly and went back to her bed, placing the neatly folded clothes on top of her nightstand, next to the water. Tomorrow she'd be able to put them on again. She couldn't wait.

Chance turned to the Umberon curiously, willing him to go on. EV waited, seeing if he would.
"We're going to need some sort of plan," Note murmured, leaning against the wall. "We'd have to find the head of all this... You don't think the leader of Team Rocket is in the city, do you?" He looked up.

Angelo could see the curiousity brimming in the Eevee's eyes, so he kept his mouth shut. He wasn't going to humor the little brat. He'd let him suffer and he'd enjoy every second of it. The Umbreon just turned his head away, pretending to be asleep.
Ellie thought wistfully for a moment before snapping her fingers. "I think he just might be! We have a famous Radio Tower here -- I wouldn't doubt for a second that he's there!"

When Angelo turned his back to him, Chance pouted. "Fine," he muttered, looking back at EV." She smirked and looked away, and he huffed. "You guys are mean. I should at least know what I did." He turned and stomped away, but upon realizing he had nowhere to go, he turned and jumped back onto the futon.
A hopeful glint appeared in Note's eyes. "So if we can get to the radio tower and defeat him, we can get the town back to normal," he mused. "The problem is not getting out hands dirty with everyone leading up to him."

Angelo smirked silently, his eyelid cracking open just a peek to see EV with a smirk of her own. I'm glad she forgave me.
"Yes," she answered, thinking about the Radio Tower. She thought about what he said, scratching her chin. "Hannibal's collected a crapload of Oran Berries to heal our Pokémon and I think I have a few Super Potions in my bag if we have to fight them," the blond shrugged. She hadn't battled in a long time, so she was keen on kicking some Grunt ass. But then again, she would also be rusty from the time period with no practice.

"I have a lot of potions, too," Tunes said. "And a handful of revives."
"We should be able to take on a few grunts," Note said, smiling determinedly.
