"Tik!"
Sparky waves her front legs in joy before hopping onto the kid's head, giving him a hug. The kid survived initial contact!

Artemis slowly approaches the Bayleef. "We were fighting some of those things. Jessica was too, with your trainer before she died." She motions to the Empath. "I was the one who was reviving you." She holds up the empty antidote and several potion bottles before putting them away again, and trying to pet the Bayleef.

The Bayleef steps forward, still eyeing you warily. It sniffs the potions and Antidote, then looks at you for a long second before nuzzling your leg.

'Mark, you said you could sell us stones cheap? How much for a thunder or fire stone?'

Mark thinks for a second. "Won't lose any money if I sell them half price. ^1,500 fair? That's as low as I can go at the moment."
