THIRD LAP. [text from goldenrod city.]

[rarestcandy]

the ladies at the center said she's got a case of the pokeflu

i've never been sick before. she looks sad, and she can't run around or make noises. before i knew what was going on, i yelled at her for puking on everything i love.

if your pokemon starts puking on everything you love, don't yell at them. they already feel bad.

Hey, everything will be okay. She'll be fine again with your help and she'll know you didn't want to make her feel even worse.

[rarestcandy]

i don't know how to help a sick person, though. they just said to let her get her rest and make sure she eats and drinks, but that won't help her feel happy again.

Get her some soup when she can hold something down. It helped last time Rose was sick.

[Text]

[rarestcandy]

is she allowed to have crackers in her soup because she loves chips and crackers are like chips right? just softer

[Text]

[tearsofademon]

I don't see why not, as long as she can keep them down.

[text]

[ardent]

While yelling doesn't tend to help much, maybe encouragement will? At least let her know you're there and make sure she knows you're not mad at her or disappointed.

[text]

[rarestcandy]

i tried telling her i wasn't mad but she still looked really really sad so i don't know if she understood me even though she's really smart

[Text]

[rarestcandy]

what if she can't keep them down and everything gets all soggy and gross and she just feels worse?

txt;

[otakon_geek]

I'm sorry to hear your Pokémon is sick. What kind of Pokémon is she?

[fourwayconnection]

when she gets better just make it up to her and let hre know you overreacted!!!

if you want to make her happoy again maybe you could get some favorite movies and make a blanket pile and stuff?

txt;

[rarestcandy]

she's a furret

a really special furret

she likes to pretend she's a car

[rarestcandy]

yeah

i don't know how long it will be before she gets better though

i can make a blanket pile i guess but what are good movies for a furret?

[Text]

[tearsofademon]

If she can't keep it down right away, wait a little bit. She'll be able to eat something eventually.

[fourwayconnection]

uh
ok ferrets arent my expertise here i deal with toddlers but
have you tried asking??? like thats a thing you can do right, pokemon understand us and stuff

[Text]

[rarestcandy]

i guess

but it sucks to be hungry you know?

[rarestcandy]

yeah

but she just sighs and keeps looking sad and doesn't move at all

it's not like her

[fourwayconnection]

u want me to see if any o fmy pokemon could get an answer out of her??

[rarestcandy]

[...]

they'll be nice about it right?

[Text]

[tearsofademon]

Yeah, but it sucks even more to try to eat something and then throw it back up, you know?

If she takes it slowly, though, there's a better chance she'll be able to do it.

[fourwayconnection]

yeah i mean they haven't been dicks eyt

[ajustcaws]

oh nooooooooo!

man i don't know what to do about sick pokemon because sick critters are different than sick people, but i'm going to send encouragement waves over to you both!! BE STRONG!! YOU WILL OVERCOME THIS TRIAL!!!!!

[otakon_geek]

aw, she does? that's pretty cute. do you have rides on her back?

video;

[lackingbeauty]

[Aww, hell. It was that energetic kid from before. With a sick pet?

Beast is not good with kids, she's pretty sure. Or pets. She probably shouldn't even reply, but. Damn it.]

Yer pet down with somethin', then, kiddo?

[Text]

[rarestcandy]

i wouldn't know but that makes sense i guess

she hates taking things slowly but i'll make sure she does

at least for now

[rarestcandy]

no

i'm little but i'm still too big to do that

i have a ponyta though for riding

[rarestcandy]

okay

if they promise to be nice then they can talk to her

[text]

[rarestcandy]

[Maybe encouragement waves were a thing where Cynthia came from...?]

at least you know how to help sick people

they say she'll be better in no time but it's really hard to believe. being sick must suck

video;

[rarestcandy]

Mhmn.

[Even if her words had been pretty bummed, it's nothing compared to how she looks in the video.]

They said I was lucky that she was the only one who got it, but it doesn't seem lucky to me...

[fourwayconnection]

theyre a great pair of cats dont worry

they promise

[Text]

[tearsofademon]

It won't last forever.

And when she gets better, maybe you can treat her to her favorite food.

video;

[lackingbeauty]

An' ye done took it to an animal doc... ?

[She thinks that's what the "center" was.]

[Text]

[foolishwren]

oh man

pokemon dont get sick very often

is she gonna be ok?

[otakon_geek]

that's awesome. I'm sure the people at the Pokecenter are doing all they can to help your Furret.

do you have any other Pokémon to keep you company while you wait for Furret to be healed?

[text]

[ajustcaws]

[she's just... trying really hard...]

not really... i mostly just try to help motivate people into feeling better!! it doesn't always work but hey sometimes is good right??

but yeah it totally does. i mean, you DO get better. especially here because nobody seems to get the plague or anything.
