Raphael gasps in horror! She uses an Antidote on Gabby.
And then she sees it. The slime. The purple ooze trying to force its way out of the swamp. The glint of faint light on the metal embedded in its pungent, putrid mass.
It is mocking her.
-and she can't do anything about it, she realizes, and slumps again.
But a moment a fire was lit in her heart. A moment a spark of indignance tried to make itself heard amidst the dark clouds of failure, of fear...
And she knows that if she is going to catch something today, with her final ball, it will be that....slime bigthing.
She Pokedexes it so that she feels less stupid.
"Gabby A! One north, four west!"
"Gabby B! One east, three north. Be safe."
"Get back here, Gabby C!" (five west)
She stows the broken balls in her pack, and holds her final one. There isn't any angry drive fueling her limbs, nor some kind of belief in justice. All she wants now is all or nothing; she can fail, totally, here and now, and get nothing. Or she can try, make her way, bend the world...
oh who am i kidding she is scared and trying too hard not to cry and she just wants this over with
