She'd managed to trip at least three times in her rush to reach the PokeCenter, her knees scraped and her arms bruised in her effort to keep from dropping the strange creature she'd just found. The young woman's light red hair had long since escaped the messy bun she'd had it tied up in, but she didn't seem to notice it, even with the shoulder-length tresses obscurred her vision.

Glancing back over her shoulder for an instant, Jacinthe (for that was the girl's name) called back to her two companions, "Come on, guys! You've got to keep up!" A smallish Eevee was scampering along at her heels, her big brown eyes narrowed with the effort of keeping up with her owner. Floating just behind and above the Eevee was a Haunter, his brilliant amber eyes wide as he watched the head of the strange creature bob to and fro in his mistress' arms as they charged along down the street in search of help.

Jacinthe noticed that her Eevee was growing tired and gestured at the Haunter with a nod of her head, "Could you carry her? She's tired, but I can't reach her ball.." The Haunter obliged, carefully snatching up the little Eevee in his claws as they rounded the corner.

At last, the Center was in sight! "Just a little further.." Jacinthe cooed to her Eevee; the poor creature was pretty young, and hadn't quite built up a lot of stamina..

Pushing her way through the glass doors, Jacinthe made her way hastily toward the counter and laid the strange Pokemon she'd found across it. The woman behind the counter gave her a surprised look, but Jacinthe merely shook her head, trying to convey that there wasn't time to chit-chat, "..There was a misunderstanding. My Haunter attacked this...creature when it tried to rummaged around inside my pack and I--" The creature in question stirred slightly and Jacinthe felt a wave of relief wash over her, "--I was afraid it had been killed."

The nurse behind the counter stood up and touched the worm-like Pokemon, noting the coldness of the thing's scaley skin, "You found this Pokemon in the woods? This is a Dratini! They're supposed to live farther north..." It was obvious that the creature had been severely poisoned, "..We'll have to keep it over night. I'm not sure that there's much we can do for it..."

Jacinthe's face fell and she nodded slowly, "..Then just do what you can. I'll be back to check on it later.." What the heck was a 'Dratini'?

Turning back to her own Pokemon, Jacinthe gestured toward the chairs and sofa in the corner, "Let's take a break, shall we?"



ooc: Winging it. x3 Like I said, I only ever played the games; I'm not familiar with the shows or anything.. x______X

Also, I have a concept image for what Jacinthe would sort of look like ( imagine her with clothing, though.. xD )-- Click.
