"I want to keep...going," he said, before he collapsed from exhaustion. "Looks like it took a lot out of him. A half hour of training shouldn't have exhausted him that much. I think something might be wrong with him."

She nodded. "We should get Aerona to look at him."

Barthello nodded. "Usually, I could do it myself, but I've never seen anything like this before."

"I'll be back." SHe disappeared, then reappeared a few minutes later with Arax.
[WHat should be wrong?]

[His muscles are unable to take the strain of training. If he keeps going, he'll eventually render himself paralyzed.]
"I hope he's all right," Barthello said.

SHe examined him for a few minutes, then shook her head. "If he continues to train, he'll become paralyzed."

"What? How could that be?" Barthello gasped. "It must have been that fever. I thought he'd recovered from it. I hate to say it, but it looks like he can't get any stronger."

She stayed knelt next to Naiser. "I am what's known as a Dark Healer. Instead of using Darkness to fight, I use it to heal. I could heal him a ways that would allow him to train, but only a little at a time."

"It's...ok," Naiser said, having come around. "If I can't train...then I can't train." He struggled to stand up. "I'll have to find someone...who likes me...for who I am now."

She nodded. "It's your choice. If you ever change your mind, just tell Adina." She stood up, then disappeared.

Naiser struggled onto his feet. "If I have to be strong just to win a heart, then I'd rather die alone." "That's deep," Barthello said. "I'm proud of you. And I'll tell you this. You are strong. Your muscles might not be, but your heart is the strongest I have ever seen." "R-really?" Barthello nodded. "And that's where strength matters the most."

Adina nodded. "That's right. Strength isn't measure by phsyical ability."

Naiser smiled, then laid back down to rest. "I think we may be able to find someone for him. Obviously, the Delcatty is out and the Nidoqueen won't look at his heart first, but don't you have some friends who may have a connection with him? I thought you once told me you had a friend that this same thing happened to. Either that or that was an idea I had for a fiction story."

"I can look," Adina said. "It might take me a while, though, since most Pokemon do look at strength before heart."

She nodded and kissed him. "I'll be gone by day, but be back at night if that's all right."

Barthello picked up Naiser and carried him inside. He'd hoped that Star wouldn't be upset by what had happened. After all, no one could have predicted it.

Star was asleep in her room with Ana, her arms around her mate's waist.

Barthello decided to wait until Star came out to tell her what had happened.

Star walked downstairs a while later with Ana, fully dressed.

Barthello approached Star. "I hate to say it, but you were right to keep Naiser from training."

She blinked. "What happened?"

Barthello explained the situation. "We had faith that he could train and get stronger, but it looks like we were wrong."

"I told you he wouldn't ever be able to train," she said. "I only agreed because I knew Adina would take it easy and I thought four years would be enough time. And she assure me everything would be all right. And this is what happens." She huffed and walked outside, muttering incoherently in an ancient language. "Um, Star can be moody when it comes to her children..." Ana said, sweatdropping.

"I know. But what were we supposed to do? Naiser wanted to train. We tried to give him what he wanted to make him happy, but it backfired."

"She'll see that in a bit. She just needs a little bit of time to cool down," Ana said as she played with the ring on her finger.

"A ring? You and Star tied the knot or still planning to?"

Post by Kiki on Jul 5, 2010 20:22:42 GMT -5
"We did a long time ago. We made the rings when that was still the tradition. We just don't wear them all the time because they do get on our nerves often."
