[Veronica had pushed herself a little too far this time.
But it’s worth it - no matter what it’s worth all the pain and grit and sometimes tears because after all this time she’s finally got her eighth badge! It’s a hard won victory that was, as usual, attributed to her Glaceon, who had not only essentially carried her ill-picked team for this specific gym battle, but also managed to stay up on all four limbs until she was able to get them all to the Pokemon center. If she did her best then her memory recall would conjure up images of the Nurse Joy, of the different colored balls guided into her bag again. The life of a trainer is taxing, thankless, and utterly challenging and she’d just been so tired - was it really any wonder that she found them a place to stay?
After all of this work they deserved a nice room, and Veronica pushed off one shoe and gently set her bag down and then flopped onto her bed. The hotel was probably a little too expensive, even for all of her penny pinching it wasn’t as if she was made of cash and there were a number of things she needed to stock up on. But it was so nice to sleep in four walls and behind a door. They were safe and she could be tired and drop dead in the middle of the afternoon after two previous days of traveling without sleep.
No one ever talks about the awful parts of the journey, but then there’s no way to describe the incredible joy that comes with knowing she could actually make it to Victory Road now. It must have slipped her mind before she fell asleep because it’s as she’s waking that Veronica remembers looking at her Glaceon and smiling at him, thanking him …]
Hmm ….
[And then she’d been knocked out, and had now circled back into a wakeful state all over again. Rather than open her eyes or even get up and change into her sleep clothes her arm shoots out to try and find her Pokémon, who might be just as likely in his ball as he is to be within arms reach.]
