"Yes ma'am," Daniel said. Mallow helped Daniel carry Decidueye. "Be careful for the wings, Mallow." Of course, Mallow hurt herself from the wings. Daniel couldn't hold Decidueye on his own. No. No, no, no, no! He dropped Decidueye on Mallow! Rushing to help her, Daniel grabbed a Hyper potion and poured it into Decidueye's mouth. It woke immediately. Mallow was still hurt, though. "NURSE JOY! WE NEED SOME PEOPLE WHO HELP HUMANS! IT'S AN EMERGENCY!" Daniel yelled. He knelt down to Mallow, her breath was shallow. Nurse Joy rushed to Daniel.
"Oh my Arceus! I can heal her, let me take care of this..." Nurse Joy said.
Daniel was sitting in the waiting room for hours. He wondered if Lao was up. The music rang through the center. Nurse Joy came out, signalling Daniel to come and see Mallow. He walked in. She was there, on a bed, her breathing was much better.
"Hey, Forest Female..." Daniel said softly. Mallow smiled and opened her eyes.
"Hey, Fire boy." She hugged him tight.
After a while, Mallow and Daniel went out of the room, and into the hall. They talked a bit about Lao. They went to see him. Mallow was holding Daniel's hand, clasping it tight. "Hey Battle bond guy!" They both said in unison, when they saw Lao. He looked much better. "Decidueye is in perfect health. It will want to see you. Oh, here, I have its pokeball. Nurse Joy took it from you, for a while," Daniel passed the thing containing Decidueye to Lao.
"I got some news from the Professor," Mallow said, "he wants four people to stop Team Skull, and he wants Daniel leading it. Do we agree that I should go?"
"Mallow, no, you can't go. It has to be some other people, maybe Lao and I. But not you. Lao back me up on this." Daniel told Mallow, then to Lao. "And anyway, if I am going to lead this, I should choose. So I would choose Lao, as my first teammate. If he would like to go. Would you Lao?" Daniel asked. Elijah and Luna might be good to come, too. he thought.
