Trak gave a nod, still massaging Runaway. "And the Alakazam's name is Runaway.  Finally got him to relax."

Twoey glanced up from his puzzle, gave a quick nod, then returned to his activity.

"That's good," Dr. Ladis smiled. "Well, basically what we can do is an one-on-one session with each Pokemon.  My Hypno will put them in a state of deep relaxation, and I will ask them questions.  It's a simple interview to start.  The trance will allow them to recall various events with greater ease.  Are they capable of talking?  My Hypno is capable of speech, so he can translate if need be."

The Hypno gave a nod. "Two years of learning to talk."

"Runaway can speak, but only in French.  If that's a problem, my Mewtwo here can translate," Trak finished the massage and let Runaway rest his head on his arms and doze off.

"My afternoon ended up canceling, so I had some extra time," Dr. Ladis nodded, turning to introduce her Hypno. "He doesn't have a name, but most of my clients call him 'Doc.'  He's board certified, had five years of psychiatric training, and has been a part of my practice for fifteen years.  He'll be retiring in a couple of years, so I brought his granddaughter to observe, if that's all right." She pulled a Poke Ball out of her pocketbook and released a Drowzee. "This is Daisy.  She's still in training, so she's only permitted to observe.  She has about two more years of training to go before she's tested and certified."

After a while, an older woman entered the cafeteria, leading a similarly-older Hypno by the hand.  She looked around, having been told at the front desk that Sakura could be found there.  Eventually seeing Zoroark and Runaway, she approached the table. "Hello, my name is Dr. Ladis.  I'm a board-certified hypnotherapist.  I'm looking for Sakura Birch?"

Hooray!

For a while there, I was starting to think that perhaps the ride was over and things were going swimmingly.

Now that I'm done with the painting, Hypno's going into the closet.

...that didn't come out right.

One scan and several adjustments later...



My scanner hates acrylic.  I had to adjust the washed-out colors, adjust the luminosity, reduce median noise (so many glints from the paint...), and then go through and adjust the shadows and highlights.  And as with my other paintings, it doesn't quite look right as it does in person.

But, anyway, Hypno creepypasta.  Acrylics on canvas.

In a little bit, the paint should be dry enough to scan.

Runaway cooed as Trak gave him a good, thorough rub-down.

Twoey glanced over. "Looks like someone's starting to feel better.  Maybe you should work your magic on Zorro." He jerked a thumb to the Zoroark, who was still indulging in his ice cream.

"If he'll let me, I'll happily give him a massage," Trak nodded, working her thumbs into a muscle knot in order to loosen it.

"I love puzzles," Twoey nodded, putting some pieces together, "and belly rubs."

Trak worked on stretching Runaway's joints and got him up. "The floor's not the most comfortable, but how's that?"

"Très bien," Runaway nodded as Trak helped him stretch and crack his back. Very good.

"Good to hear," Trak smiled, getting Runaway to sit as she assisted the Alakazam with rotating his neck. "Relax and I'll work out those knots."

Runaway leaned forward and rest his arms on the table as Trak worked on massaging his neck and shoulders.  The massage and stretching felt good, and he was able to relax considerably.

Trak dug around in her bag and found a tile puzzle. "Here, you guys can work together on this.  Runaway and I are going to do his stretches, since he's done eating." She stood and tended to Runaway's empty cup.

Runaway also stood and then got down on the floor.  Trak crouched beside him and worked on stretching his legs.

Twoey opened the puzzle and spread the pieces out. "Starting with the corners and the sides makes it easier."

"You need to play," Twoey nodded curtly.  "Starting today.  We'll be here a while, and Trak has some toys in her bag."

Hearing her name, Trak glanced up. "I have some puzzles you two could do."

Now to let the Hypno creepypasta dry for a couple hours.  In the meantime, I have paint brushes to wash and reshape.

"He's playing," Twoey nodded, dig through Trak's bag for spare change, and slapped a coin against his own forehead. "Nothing wrong with playing.  I do it all the time.  I got this awesome parlor trick I'm not letting go to waste!" He pointed to the coin stuck to his head. "Haven't you ever played around?  Or, is it all serious business with you?"

Painting fur isn't easy.  I grabbed a reference and found a better way to paint it.

"Hey, I'm happy," Twoey pointed out. "I could be an angsty, broody mess with an attitude problem and a real hate for humans, but I'm not.  I have every single justifiable reason to have a hate-on, but I don't.  Life's not worth wasting it on things in the past that you can't change, so I try to see the good in everything.  Let's face it, I had a rough life.  But, I have a good trainer who cares about me.  I get to travel and meet new people.  I get to learn and experience new things, I get treats, I get cuddles, I'm safe and away from those who hurt me.  Life's great!"

I redid Hypno's ruff.  Letting it dry as I do some more touchups, and then I'll scan it once it takes a couple hours to dry.

"Memory-wiping?" Twoey spoke up. "I wonder if I can do that..."

"Don't try it on any of us, please," Trak told him before looking to Runaway. "We'll get you fixed up.  Once you finish your ice cream, we'll do your stretches, okay?  I'd rather wait until you digest before doing your other exercises.  Since you're overworked, you can't be using your powers to move yourself around, and I don't want you to fall into that habit again.  No muscle atrophy on my watch!"

Runaway nodded again, looking forward to doing his stretches, as they felt good.  He began to eat a bit more quickly.

"Hopefully she can help," Trak nodded. "I mean, I know this isn't something he'll just get over in no time.  But, if he stops eating, then that's definitely not good.  He did eat earlier, and he's eating his ice cream now, but come dinner time, he might be picky again." She rubbed Runaway's shoulder. "Also, our routine was upset, and he hasn't done his exercises, so we'll do that afterward."

Runaway nodded and took a few more bites, finally making some progress in his ice cream.  Twoey, on the other hand, had finished his dessert and was nursing a brain freeze.

"All right, we'll ask for you when we get there," Dr. Ladis wrote that down as well. "I'll be bringing my Hypno.  My appointment will be here shortly, so I need to go.  I'll be there in a few hours."
