(REMAKE IS UP!) Restitution (CLOSED)

Chapter 13: Hot Ice

Erika, Kaitlin, and I came into the place Crystal worked, a type of store that sold just about everything. We got in contact with one of her co-workers, and after telling her that we were family and friends, the three of us were taken to the back. A few co-workers were gathered around a door, pushing on it as something tried to break out. Another Pokémon, a Florges, came up to us.

"What's going on?" Kaitlin asked. The Florges shook its head.

"I don't know, she just started getting aggressive and getting out of control!"

"And she's in there?" Erika asked. The door slammed forward again, causing an Axew to fall forward. It quickly got back up as the door was creaking open and slammed back into the door. I heard something on the other side of the door, but it was muffled, and I couldn't understand it. I looked over a little concerned.

"Yeah, she's in there alright." The Florges said. "No one has even dared to see what's going on with her, but she's just getting aggressive."

"Let me see what's going on." Erika said. The Florges looked at her for a second, then nodded his head.

"If you go in there, I don't know how well you'll be able to get out." Erika looked at the door.

"Well, considering I can use Psychic, I should be able to get out if she tries anything." The Florges nodded again, then looked at the others holding the door back.

"Let her in." Erika got herself next to the door, and just as the Pokémon holding the door back pulled back the door, she jumped in and the door was quickly closed behind her. I walked closer and placed my ear on the door. I could hear some noise going on, then the volume started to turn up. Then I heard commotion going on inside. I heard rustling going on inside, then something slamming against something. The door moved a little bit, causing me to stumble back a little bit.

"Let me out!" The door was opened up, and Erika jumped out quickly. She helped the others press the door shut, just as another slam was made. Erika was on her hind legs, trying to keep the door shut. The look on her face showed a little... okay, a lot of concern, and anxiety.

"What's wrong with her?" I asked. Erika calmed down a little bit, then went back to all fours. She looked at Kaitlin and I and motioned for the two of us to get closer. When I leaned my head down and Kaitlin came forward, she brought her head forward and whispered.

"She's... well... she's in the mood...." Kaitlin's reaction was a bit confusing. She seemed to show a little bit of frustration and anger. My reaction was complete confusion.

"In the mood?" I questioned. Erika looked at me, a little at a loss for words. Kaitlin stepped in giving her own words in the situation.

"That's all that's going on?! She almost bit me and attacked me!"

"We do crazy things when this happens." Erika explained. "It's just instinct at this point."

"Is there some way I could help her?" I asked. Kaitlin started to panic for some reason.

"N-no no, we don't want you getting involved in this!" The Florges walked up to us.

"Were you able to find out what's wrong with her?" Erika looked at him and nodded her head.

"Yeah, and we're just thinking of what we can do."

"I'll tell you what we do," Kaitlin said, "we keep her like this until she calms down!" Erika looked at Kaitlin and shook her head.

"That sometimes works, but that also sometimes makes it worse." She explained.

"And how do you know that?" Kaitlin challenged. Erika's face scrunched up in disappointment.
