**Palette Town -- Hospital**<br/><br/>Leaning forward to get a view of what the girl was pointing at, Micah reached for the pokeball when he spotted it.<br/><br/>"Here," He said gently. "I got it." He held the ball up and lightly tapped the button on the front, sending a bright red beam of energy from within the ball that seemed to morph into the form of the monster inside. When the light faded, there before them, perched on the foot of the bed, sat Siranil.<br/><br/>"Well lookie here." Micha beamed. "What a cute little rascal." He glanced at Sari.
