As Taylor had headed off to give the information to Sakura, Hierophant decided it was probably best to head to the Pokemon Center south of the location she was currently staying at.
"Oh, dear.... How horrible...." Nurse Joy murmurs remorsefully, "Those Team Flora members just don't seem to care what happens to them or the Pokemon they capture for their personal gains."
"What do you think I should do with them after you heal them?" Hierophant asked, "Should I just let them go, knowing that their trainer is dead? Even if he has been using them in a selfish, cruel manner, they might still sense some affection for his reckless ambition."
"I'm not exactly sure myself.... It's hard to tell how long four of those Pokemon had been with that corrupt trainer since all Pokemon are required to obey whoever catches them in a Pokeball. Maybe it's best if you seek advice from Professor Birch in Littleroot Town. He may not have a better answer, but he may have an idea of how to properly release them so other members of Team Flora don't attempt to hunt down and capture them for their own drug-induced purposes."
Hierophant compressed his lips at the options. He could take them to the Rehab Islands that were set up just out of sight of the other regions, but doesn't trust that the Pokemon may have been implanted with some kind of tracking device that would expose the whereabouts and the amount of Pokemon resting and training on the Islands.
"Why don't you take a seat and give it some thought while I take care of these Pokemon," Nurse Joy said while taking the four Pokeballs and heading off to have them inserted into the healing station. Hierophant reluctantly nods before heading over to a nearby bench and sitting down, bringing out his gold, blue orb scepter and wiping off some dust and sap with a damp towel he pulled out of the magic duffel bag next to him.
