Defeated, I lay sprawled in a tangled mess of vines and leaves. The sun was still high in the sky, but I felt like I could sleep for an entire month if I were but allowed to escape. To my right, my partner Yeller lay in a bush, equally bushed by our mutual experience.
In front of me, a window displaying my own status hung above my head, informing me of the current situation we both found ourselves in.

How did I get into this mess... I wondered absently, the muscle pains across my entire body quelling any thoughts of getting back up and doing... Anything.
...
Day 1 at Professor Oak's lab:
After Chee had taken me out the back to play games with her, I came back utterly exhausted, so Oak decided to let me get accustomed to staying at the Lab before he told me about the other conditions. He told me 'you'll probably be fine with them anyway', and implied I should rest up.
In the morning, Chee was eagerly waiting at my door by the time I woke up. Instead of my morning jog, Yeller and I spent the entire early half of the day chasing Chee around the laboratory and Pokemon enclosure. By the time lunch rolled around, I was already exhausted.

I can only barely remember the lunch itself. The food was tasty enough, and I vaguely recall Oak giving some platitudes about how it was 'Good to see Chee in such high spirits', and how he 'Hoped we'd remain friends for a long time.'
The respite for eating was very brief however, as immediately afterwards Chee took me back to the Pokemon enclosure and led me to her 'Secret Home', a secluded spot in the forest that the wild Pokemon tended to ignore. She invited me to stay, and we spent the rest of the day building a makeshift room for me from sticks and various other woodland materials.

Day 2 at Professor Oak's lab:
On the second day, I was determined to get some battling training done. When I opened the door to my room, I was once again met with Chee, eyes sparkling with excitement. Let's go play!!
"I want to do some battle training today." I rejected her. She looked downcast for a moment, but then she nodded, meeting my eyes. Is battling fun?
"Er, it can be?" I scratched my head thoughtfully. "I mean, it depends on who you're battling with. I don't mind if you don't want to battle, but I really want to train..."
