Calcabrina was expecting this, sniping the poor bird on sight with Water Gun! She wondered why he didn't just stop coming after her, but then it hit her. Was he indirectly looking for a fight; too? She'd appease him, she guessed. Beating up Ares let her know that she had vastly improved over the past few weeks. It was almost time to stop. She felt a pang of sadness, not really wanting this to end. Alas, Himiko could only teach so much.

Ares wasn't thinking straight and was too focused on getting out of the cold; he was wearing his Expert Belt around his head which was warm enough as it was. He didn't really think this one through. He then saw that Calcabrina was attacking and let out a loud cry before getting knocked away by that familiar Water Gun attack! He landed in the sand with a thud and fainted. Himiko didn't seem to be coming around...
- Ares was hit by Water Gun! It's super-effective!
- Ares fainted! Ares gained 1 level(s)!

Calcabrina wondered if Himiko couldn't make it today. She was always rather punctual, bar once or twice, what could be holding her up? She wasn't the kind of person to just ditch her. Maybe she was hurt somewhere? Calcabrina doubted that, she was probably one of the toughest pokemon in Cheyenne. Why then? Why? She didn't know, she decided to wait a bit longer; and go home if she didn't show up.

Ares managed to get up after fainting for a few moments. He shook his little head to get the sand out of his feathers and hopped up off the ground. He looked around and noticed that Calcabrina was still here! He started flapping his little wing as fast as he could. ::torchic:: <"I-I'll get you some day!!"> he cried. He then ran off to return to Alexander.

Calcabrina saw him run off, did that little bird tattle on Himiko? Oh no! She had the urge to go after him, but she assumed Himiko would make it anyways. She was strong and dependable, and she agreed to do this. If she was sick or something, maybe it would be a lot worse. She decided to draw in the sand with Water Gun to pass the time. She drew pictures of her doing things with Himiko, like baking cookies. She'd never baked cookies before.

Suddenly, another Pokemon had appeared on the beach. The sun was suddenly shining very brightly as he walked onto the shore; it was Alexander's Oddish, Alraune. He noticed Calcabrina as being one of Miss Adeleine's Pokemon and approached her. ::oddish:: <"Ah-hah! Why are you out here?"> asked the Weed Pokemon.
- Alraune used Sunny Day!
- The sunlight is strong. (1/8)

Calcabrina remembered him, Alarune? Yea, Alarune. She played tag with him; right? Right. Why was he here? Calcabrina was starting to get a bit suspicious. She'd have to knock him out; too. She shifted into her sun form, the pokemon doing her job for her.
<"Thanks~!"> Was her only words, before launching a blast of Ember at Alarune. He'd be okay, a little burnt, but okay.

Alraune was ready for Calcabrina's reaction; he knew something was up! He gracefully dodged the Ember but didn't launch his own attack. He simply made a rather angry face and spoke with a condescending tone of voice.
<"Idiot! I'm looking for Himiko!! Where is she? What did you do?!"> he asked. He was clearly accusing Calcabrina of something but could it have been? He would do whatever it takes to interrogate her if necessary; he had back-up.
- Alraune dodged Ember!

Calcabrina was confused, she hadn't done anything to her. Why was he treating her like a criminal. Getting a bit angry, she growled a bit.
<"I didn't do anything!"> She said in a kind of half-scared tone that happens when you falsely accuse someone of something they didn't do. She let out another Ember in hopes of knocking him out.

Alraune had to be very careful; Calcabrina seemed to have gotten much stronger than before and it was almost scary. He jumped out of the way of the incoming Ember. He wouldn't be able to keep up if she kept throwing those flames this way and that. He once again stood his ground and once again questioned the Weather Pokemon. ::oddish:: <"I won't ask again!! Where is Himiko?! She never came back yesterday after I noticed her leaving! I had Ares keep tabs and now I know what you've been doing!!"> said the Weed Pokemon. He was adamant about finding Himiko; if Alexander ever lost her than he... No! Don't even think about that when it hasn't happened!

She...didn't come back? What? She left in a hurry yesterday, why didn't she just go back? She had assumed she went back. She didn't know what to do.
<"I don't know!"> Calcabrina was starting to get really flustered, everybody was figuring out about what was going on. This was bad, really bad. It was a bit too soon for this all to end. She'd have to defeat any opposition that came her way!

Alraune had to take one more evasion action before he decided that it was pointless to try and convince her to tell him. Once he landed from another elegant dodge, he swirled his leaves around and hurled a violet mist at Calcabrina to change her ability to absolutely nothing.
<"You know what? Fine!! Don't tell me!! I'll just have knock you out and drag you back to Alexander myself!!"> he retorted. However, before he could actually throw an attack at her, a white blur suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking him from attacking Calcabrina; it was Himiko!
<"Stop! I am right here, Alraune,"> said the Snow Land Pokémon. Alraune was surprised that she stopped him; normally she wouldn't get in his way like that. However, she was of a higher rank than he was on Alexander's team so he had to listen. <"Calcabrina did nothing of the sort. I simply could not return to Alexander with these burns on my hands,"> said Himiko. It was true; there were still bad burns on her arms. Did she not even get to rest since she left yesterday?
- Himiko is hurt by her burn!

Calcabrina flinched when the mist was thrown towards her, but it was blocked by someone jumping in her way. She opened her eyes to find someone standing in her way. Himiko? She made it! Something was wrong, though. Calcabrina glanced at her arms. Those were some brutal burns! Was that her fault? Did she do that? She was too reckless with that ember attack yesterday! She started to slightly shiver.
<"I...did that?"> She asked in surprise, her voice trembling with fear. She hurt Himiko too badly! She was so stupid! Couldn't she control herself. She'd been too caught up in winning!
::CastformS:: Mood: Sad Calcabrina is guilty from the damage!

Alraune was bewildered at Himiko's strange behavior; she never went off on her own before. She never hid from Alexander before, either. Is this Calcabrina the cause for this strangeness?
<"Why didn't you just come home? Alexander wouldn't have been angry with you,"> said the Weed Pokémon. Himiko looked somewhat embarrassed which was extremely rare. She's never made a friend outside of Alexander's group before and she didn't want to have to give it up. She would never say this out loud of course but it was something she kept in her heart.
<"I-If I went back with these burns, Alexander might have suspected something. If he found out and had gotten angry, then I probably wouldn't be able to come back here,"> said the Snow Land Pokémon. She held both of her burned hands to her chest for a moment. Alraune was taken aback by Himiko's behavior. However, he understood why she would be afraid. He didn't understand the whole situation but decided that this was what Himiko wanted to do; she's never made a bad decision in the past so why would she make one now?
<"Well... I guess that's that then. I won't tell Alexander and I'll have Ares stop snooping around,"> said Alraune. He then turned to leave.

Calcabrina was taken aback by this. Himiko ran away from her trainer because she didn't want to be prevented from coming here? That was so sweet! Calcabrina felt a bit of fluttering joy in her heart that made her feel warm and fuzzy. They'd get to keep practicing, at least for a little longer. She nuzzled up next to Himiko's side, taking care to avoid her burns.
<"Weee~, we can keep playing!"> Calcabrina cheerily exclaimed, but then took notice of the burns again. What were they going to do about that?
<"What should we do? You really should get that looked at!"> Calcabrina said with a tinge of worry, she didn't want her to faint somewhere! What would happen if they fainted and no one knew about it?

Himiko wasn't entirely sure what to do; Alexander didn't have any kind of status ailment healing item in his inventory she could use that he wouldn't notice disappearing. Berries were quite difficult to search for during the winter season and no one on Alexander's team knew how to heal wounds like these; she had to go to a Pokemon Center if she wanted it treated. The only way she could do that was if her Trainer took her but she couldn't ask him to due to the circumstances. ::froslass:: <"I-I don't know what to do,"> said the Snow Land Pokemon.

Calcabrina frantically floated around, unsure of what to do. A burn? She hadn't dealt with burns on the journey yet. They were new to here in their entirety. They couldn't go to the poke center or ask for a trainer's help. They'd have to do it naturally. Maybe something around them would help?
<"The water!"> Calcabrina exclaimed, pulling Himiko over to the seaside. It was salty, but it would work. She remembered Adeleine dressing wounds with water.
<"The salt should clean the burn out, and then the water should heal it. It should at least stop the pain."> Calcabrina cheerily said, her only solution. She didn't know what would work otherwise.
::CastformS:: Mood: Frantic Calcabrina suggests using the water!

Himiko was unsure but seemed a little worried; the ocean was salty? How was it salty? She always thought the sea was just like regular water like the rain. However, Calcabrina said that there was salt in it. She had never known that before and it surprised her. ::froslass:: <"T-There's salt in the water?"> she asked. She raised her hands to her face and decided that there really was no other way that was safer. She turned towards the ocean; she had been staring at this massive body of water many times over the past few days. It sustained life and could continue to help lives move along. She flew over towards the waves that were pressing against the shore every so often and sat on the cold sand. She placed her hands on the sand and waited for another wave of water to come splashing up to her. She saw it coming and when it touched her hands, she felt a burning sensation. However, she had to endure. It was painful but if Calcabrina was right, then it would clean the wounds which would definitely promote her healing better.

Calcabrina happily cheered along when Himiko put the burns in the water, this would certainly heal her fast! She'd be able to return to Alexander in no time at all at this rate. She wondered if Adeleine would worry about her if that happened. She'd probably have blown their cover had she gotten burned or something. She was so happy that Himiko was strong, or this charade wouldn't have been kept up for as long as it was. Alarune and Ares knew, though; which raised the question of potential problems. Alexander also knew she was missing, so what was he doing about it? They'd find out later, she guessed.
<"The burns were only minor, right? This should fix them right up!"> Calcabrina was unsure, but she tried to sound confident to keep spirits up. She could do that, at least.
::CastformS:: Mood: Happy Calcabrina is keeping the mood!

After sitting in the water for a few minutes, Himiko took off into the air again. She returned to the shore with Calcabrina; even though the burn was healed, she was quite tired. She covered her mouth with her hand when she yawned. ::froslass:: <"I am quite tired. I should return to Alexander for today. I just hope he has not noticed that I have not been home since yesterday,"> said the Snow Land Pokemon. With that, she thanked Calcabrina for the idea and left.
