"Here's your friend's room...:" the Marill Nurse said to the group, opening the door.
Crystal was fast asleep, with a ring of water next to her bed.
"What is that water ring next to Crystal for?" Pepe asked.
"It is the move Aqua Ring. It is a weak healing move, since us water types don't have many healing moves.."
"Oh, I am so, SO GLAD she's okay!" Willow said, turning to the others. "Don't tell her I said that!"
"Haha...I can hear you, Willow..!" Crystal said.
"AH! NO YOU CAN'T!" Willow said, jokingly.
"Wow, that Aqua Ring works really well!" Pepe said.
"Do you need anything, Crystal?" the Marill Nurse asked kindly.
"No thanks, Mrs. Joy."
"Okay dear, I'll leave you be with your friends."
Just as Mrs. Joy left, Coral looked to Crystal. "Um, w-we should go too-" Coral said, looking at Brook.
"Yeah, you probably don't want us here, I'd assume." Brook agreed.
"Well, you can stay or go, I'll see you both later when we leave." Crystal said.
"Okay, cya then!" Coral exclaimed as she walked out the door
"Oh, before I go, I just want to say," Brook said, looking at Crystal. "That was very brave of you, to fight Storm, despite your disadvantage. It was also very smart of you to forfeit. My pride would never allow me to do that. And you," he looked at Zappy. "It was also brave of you to intervene with Storm before he caused some real damage. I don't think I could do that."
"I'm used to it from our childhood..." Zappy mumbled.
"Well, better get going. Bye."
"Actually, can you please stay?" Crystal asked quietly.
"Oh. Um, yeah.." Brook walked over to Crystal's bedside and sat down.
Crystal sat up a bit, looking down, sadly.
"Sad about losing to Storm?" Willow asked quietly.
"Yeah...Why did he have to pick me?! UGH!" Crystal smashed her fists onto her bed, causing some ice to spike up.
Zappy grabbed her wrist and started rubbing it. Crystal looked at him, confused.
"Um, Zappy, why are you rubbing my wrist?" she asked curiously.
"When you were out searching for Pepe, I was freaking out, so Candy wrapped her ribbons around my wrist, and it calmed me down. And since Candy is sleeping on the beach, I'm doing it."
"That's very kind, Zappy, but, um, you are a Jolteon, not a Sylveon..."
"Yeah, so?"
"You need Sylveon ribbons to calm people-"
"Oh...Welp, I'm going to cut off a Sylveon's ribbons, okay bye!"
