When Joe finally reached the group, fatigue was everywhere. He saw Taylor getting healed, and Sakura in a heap of herself. Trak was already in the distance. Limping over to Sakura, he slowly manuveured to avoid hurting Sakura, and slowly lifted her up. Seeing her Pokemon expressing worry, he said.
"Don't... Worry... I'll get... Her to the... Pokemon Center."
After what seemed like hours, the whole group met up with Sapph, and are at the Pokemon Center.
Back at Team Flora's Secret HQ, Dr. Wily II was explaining the events that occured at the Rustboro branch to the Admins. Despite massive losses in terms of funding and research equipment, the Admins were pleased that there was progress on the Mind Powder project. With the report done, Dr. Wily II excused himself back to his lab.
At the lab, Dr. Wily II plopped himelf at his spinning chair, and placed the Oddish on the table. It was still munching away at its own leaves. Dr. Wily II straightened himself, and grabbed a new clean mini-vac. Turning it on, he sucked up whatever spore residue was left behind, and collected in from the inner bag. Placing a sample on a view plate, he placed it under a microscope, and took a look. And when he saw the mutation, a huge smirk spread across his face.
