... what happened?

[ Guess who's finally awake! And also staring and blinking at that Ninetails staring back at her. Preeeetty sure that's not her pokemon. Bell, on the other hand, is chirping happily and flying around in circles. There's a roar outside. Despite all this noise, Xion notices the seashell by her pillow and picks it up, staring

It's good to see you up and about again, Xion.

[ordalias]

Oh, thank you, Margarita. You weren't affected by the Shedinja?

[dark_surprise]

No, I managed to avoid them until after people had realized what was going on. I've been busy hunting them down for the past few days, though, since that's the only way to get them to give the souls they've stolen back.

[ordalias]

It's good you weren't caught by them. So you and other people have been working together to get others' souls back?

[dark_surprise]

That's right. They're a bit hard to catch, since only certain types of moves have any effect on them at all, but six of my Pokémon have at least one move that's effective against them. And it really felt good to have a way to help after not knowing what to do for the ones affected by them for a while.

[ordalias]

So that's why my attack didn't work at all... What are they weak to?

[dark_surprise]

Flying, Rock, Ghost, Fire, and Dark-type moves are the only ones that will hurt them.

[ordalias]

Got it. I should try to help.

[ And here goes Xion off to fight the horde of fiendish Shedinja! ... well, she would, if she didn't sink to her knees. ]

Ah... I feel weak.

[dark_surprise]

[Margarita looks a bit concerned.]

Don't push yourself too much if you haven't fully recovered.

[ordalias]

[ Getting back up on her feet. ]

I can't just sit around.

[dark_surprise]

I don't expect you to, just be careful about how much you take on to start with.

[ordalias]

Are a lot of them still around?

[dark_surprise]

No, by this point we've gotten most of them, I think. There's probably a few strays still floating around, but the worst is over.

[ordalias]

I see.

[ There's a bit of a pause, and she looks like she's hesitating, but she eventually goes for it anyway. ]

Margarita? Do I... look the same?

[dark_surprise]

Yes, you do. I mean, you look a little worn out, but I think being out for a week would do that to anyone.

[ordalias]

Okay. That's good. [ Sounds too relieved at that. ] I should change that soon.
