Chapter 4

She stays in the town longer than originally planned so she can visit the Meowth every day. By this time Bianca has caught up and passed through, having her own moment of despair over the assumed fate of the pokemon kept in an incubator at the Center. She asks White what she will do if it doesn't make it and White replies she doesn't know, but she does say that she will visit it until it either passes or gets better.

Bianca smiles sadly and says that's just like her to do that and hugs her tight before departing.

The days that follow are somber and quiet and the nurse has seen her enough just to nod her through. She spends her days chattering at the comatose pokemon without response, telling it all about what she's seen and done since leaving home and the people and pokemon she's met. There are stories about the gym leaders she's fought so far, about the pokemon she's caught and let go who are her very best friends; she tells it about Professor Juniper and the quest she's been charged with and Bianca, the professor's self-proclaimed bodyguard. She hedges on Cheren and how she feels about him because she isn't so sure herself and plows right into how cool her mother is.

It's with great hesitation that she tells the pokemon about N and Team Plasma, but when that's the one thing that seems to get it's attention she keeps going. By the end of the story, it's eyes are open and it's staring dubiously at her.
