Snippet #2635952

Valorie laid upon the ground where she'd been set down, staring blankly up at the sky. At some point she had tried to sit up, only for a wave of nausea to convince her otherwise. What had she just done..? Had she fought down a legendary pokemon on her own? No, that was absurd--Yet, she had played just as large a part as the rest of her team in that battle. Her, a little human girl...

Oooh--Her body was going to kick her ass for this later. She could already feel it; the burns on her hands, the aching in her muscles, one or more broken bones... She was not getting up anytime soon. The brief idea of being stranded here to die crossed her mind, but she quickly passed it. Nathan was strong. He wouldn't fail her.

...Her eyes closed.

And thus they remained, at least until the thunderous sound of a cave collapsing shook her from her rest. She craned her neck to see a cloud of toxic black gas rising into the sky, a familiar figure approaching. A ball, placed in her withered hand, brought a smile to her face. "No... We did it." she corrected weakly, clutching the ball with what strength she had left. "Without you, and my friends, I--" she began, only for a painful convulsion to cut her short of her no doubt heroic speech. She twisted onto her side. "Ow. Ow... Please, Nathan. Take me to a pokemon center." she requested.

On second thought, the cheesy speech could wait.
