A few days later jasmine was all better and, after suggesting that, when her Mareep evolved into Flaafy she should try and teach it Iron Tail, after agreeing to the suggestion Ashley and Whitney left the Olivine City gym and headed on out towards Ecruteak City on the way to the bug catching contest that Whitney had seen a sign for when they were in Olivine City. When they were walking through the forest a Burmy dropped down in front of the two women. Ashley, seeing that it was severely injured, knelt next to it and, remembering that she didn't pack any potions to heal her Pokémon with, looked at Whitney and said "I don't have anything to heal it with...do you?"
Whitney replied with a weird look on her face "no, I forgot to get some as well..."
"Well then, we need to get this poor Burmy to a Pokémon Centre right away!"
"Hmm..." Whitney said, thinking back to her childhood "...there's no Pokémon centre nearby..."
"What? How would you know that? Don't you need to, you know, grow up in the same town as the Gym is to become a Gym Leader?"
"Yeah, I did, but I was born in Ecruteak City. You see, when I was a child I was terrified of ghosts... and, well, you've been there before, what is the most prominent Pokémon type that trainers from there use?"
"Well, I suppose there's a ghost type gym so..."
"Indeed, so, my family moved to Goldenrod City after my father managed to get transferred to the Goldenrod City branch of the company he worked for."
"I see" Ashley said. "So what do we do now?"
"Hmm..." Whitney said, trying to think of some way to save the Burmy that was lying on the ground in front of them. As she was running down memory lane trying to think of any berry trees nearby that had fruit that had healing properties. She couldn't remember any anywhere nearby from her childhood. She then thought back not so distant to when she was in the Pokémon centre, when she was searching for Ashley. The nurse joy there had given her two Heal Balls, one for her and one for Ashley, because of their obvious care for the health and safe-being of the Tentacool that they found on the beach. After Whitney remembered the Heal Balls she rummaged around in her pack until she found them and withdrew them from her pack. She gave Ashley one and asked "so, do you want to capture it?"
"No, it's all yours."
"Alright, thanks" Whitney said as she turned back to the Burmy and tapped it with the Heal Ball, at once capturing and healing it. The two females then continued on to Ecruteak City.
