((Yeah, I know =P I'm so proud of her! XD))

Arachne went limp a little and her eyes got that swirly look to 'em that meant she was finished for now. "Darn... Arachne, return!" Damien said, calling back Arachne. He looked at her Pokeball. "Don't worry. We'll get you some well deserved rest in Bastion. But now, it's time for Jack!" he said, tossing out another Pokeball, which opened, and out popped Jack. "Now, use Tackle on Lombre!" Jack rushed at Lombre, and went headlong at it.

Damien blinked slightly before doing a face palm. "Why?" he asked no one in particular, before shaking his head. "Jack, try it again!" he said, and so Jack got up shakily before chargin at Lombre again.

((Remember, Fake Out only works once per Pokemon. Jack isn't going to fall for it again.))

"Aw, biscuits..." mumbled Damien. "Uh, Jack... Tickle him!" Damien said, and Jack launched into action, lunging for Nidorino with a playful smirk.

Jack, needless to say, went out like a light. Damien recalled Jack, "Hey, uh, how about we call this and head back to Bastion. I'm feeling kind of.. kind of..." Damien said, wobbling slightly, and then collapsed. His head hurt. Bad. And he thought he heard bells in the distance. Of course, he'd just collapsed in the middle of a training session, so he was probably way out of it.

Damien huffed slightly as Andy carried him into the Pokemon Center. He woke up some time later. "Oh, my head..." he mumbled. "Where am I? And why is it so cold?" he said, sitting up and looking at Nurse Joy and her trusty Chansey. "You're lucky that 'here' isn't the CC Ward. You came in with a fever of 102.3 and an elevated pulse. You were suffering from a traumatic lapse. People who have suffered some form of trauma can sometimes lapse into an episode where their subconscious relives the event. Your friend says that you had a past event with fire?" she said, looking at him. "Yeah, umm... My Dad used to be a trainer at the Gym in Lavaridge, before we moved to Ecruteak, and one time the fight got a little out of hand. I didn't actually get burnt, but I was trapped in a ring of fire, until they could douse it. That's why we moved and my Mom got a job at the Ecruteak Gym," Damien explained. "I got a fire Pokemon to try to face it, but... apparently it didn't work." Nurse Joy nodded, and then gave him a small green pill and a cup of water before leaving the room. She turned to Andy. "Your friend is going to need close supervision for a few days; don't let him go anywhere NEAR anything that's on fire, okay?" she said. Giving pause for thought, she added. "He should be fine to use his Pokemon in battle, but make sure he doesn't get to riled up."
