Of all places to ultimately confront Franny, you wished it hadn't been in the children's wing of the medical center. Anywhere but here. As Franny is tending to one of the sick children lying down in their hospital bed, she notices you watching from the shadows...

..and she already knows you're the one responsible for what happened to RttnCrps.

In what is clearly one of the worst places to have this kind of confrontation, you're left with no choice as the dark, unholy transformation begins. Franny's eyes go red, her teeth sharpen, her long, hideous tongue is no longer her own and a shadowy aura of infernal madness is already surrounding her. A loud, hideous hiss comes out of her mouth as her tentacle-like tongue whips around like it has a life of its own.

A young Bunnelby girl screams in fright at what has become of her false, deceitful caretaker, and suddenly the dark truth becomes real. The panic spreads among the children, and the dread of collateral damage and children casualties suddenly grips your heart with quaking fear.

"EVERYBODY OUT!!!" you shout as loud as you can.

The Pokémon children panic, but they immediately listen to your warning, although they are still screaming and shouting in fear as they scramble for the nearest exit. Those that can and are able help the others to their feet, but unfortunately not all of them are that lucky and not all of them are well enough to escape on their own. You're left with no choice but to fight and try your best to prevent any of them from getting killed in what you already know is going to be an ungodly confrontation.

Immediately, your hands light with white, blazing fire as the shadows begin to gather and swirl around the defiled body of Franny. In what becomes a dark and grotesque metamorphosis, Bloodwish reveals her true form, and it's enough to paralyze some of the children with an abysmal amount of fear. You find your mark and land the exorcism fire on her, burning her as hard as you can for the deception she has put on these children. Meanwhile, she turns empty hospital beds and machines into nothing but twisted metal and lumps of black, burning debris. Thankfully, no one is killed in the initial madness, but you're not sure how long you're going to be able to ensure that...

"Don't look at her!" you shout to a young bandaged Minccino and Pachirisu trembling in fear at the sight. "Turn away, run for the exit, and help anyone you can!"

They do their best to follow your command and try to assist anyone unable to move on their own while you try your best to push Bloodwish back away from the children still unable to move on their own. She grins wickedly as she attempts to devour a helpless Fennekin too sick to move from her hospital bed with the swirling shadows, but you quickly put herself in front of them to shield her from the darkness that would have surely killed her.

"EaT iT alL yOU miSErAblE FooL!" Bloodwish taunts with horrendous laughter. "YoU'Re AlL GoInG tO DiE AnyWay!!"

But you keep the fire burning...

"You're not the first Enthraller I've obliterated," you tell her, keeping your flaming paws out in front of you as they blaze with white, holy fire as you remind her what became of RttnCrps, "and you won't be the last!"

Her form continues to grow larger and more unholy, causing empty hospital beds and medical equipment to be thrown aside. Thankfully, none of the children are hurt in the carnage, but you're not sure how long you're going to be able to ensure their safety as already everything is being devastated in the confrontation.

The already dimly-lit room continues to grow darker, and while most of the Pokémon children have evacuated with whoever they could bring along, there are still several that remain and are unable to move away from the horror. Several of the lights burst and explode while the darkness takes root as the shadows creep throughout the area. A swarm of them encroach upon an immobile Cubone unable to move from his wheelchair and he begins to panic, only able to tremble.

"Help meee!!!" he screams, only able to shield himself with his bare hands. "Pleeeeeaasseee!!"

With no choice, you're forced to turn yourself into a living shield once more to drive back the shadows, using a piercing white light from the holy fire to force them back toward Bloodwish. However, that doesn't stop the ones that remain from wrapping themselves around you and pul̜̹͔̮̱͍ͪͥ̈́̏̂̂͊l̟̠̊͝i̧͚̱͚̜̗̩̻ng you further into madn̡ͤ̐̇̾e̍̐̿͆͏̗̹s͓ͩ͒͊ͫ̾̎͋s.

Quincy has suffered 1 Damage to Sanity.

You growl as you angrily strike Bloodwish hard with retaliation, causing white embers to scatter about on the floor. The white fire around your hands grows brighter as the light surrounding you pierces the darkness. The fires around the now mutated abomination of Bloodwish grow stronger and more deadly, but she continues to use the sick and disabled children as attack leverage against you, forcing you to have to drop the exorcism on several occasions to block her attacks and move children out of the way just moments before her nightmarish assaults obliterate the ground where they were just moments ago.

You strike back with the hardest reprisal you can, causing Bloodwish's foul and defiled heart to burst into flames. It is at that moment that she realizes she can no longer survive the confrontation, and she howls in hellish agony at the realization that she has only about less than a minute before she perishes for all time. However, it hasn't stopped her audacity from wanting to take you down with her.

"I'lL eAt yOuR SoUl wiTH mY LaST BreaTH!!" she screams, lunging toward you.

"Come over here and get it, then!" You challenge her, drawing her attention away from the children.

Hideous, mind-consuming shadows are vomited from her macabre maw, and you have no choice but to charge directly into them, f͔͇͖̪̻͖o̟͎̹̗̩͓͙r̫͕̯̺̺͕̥c̨í͕̮ng̻̟̘̪̭ ͈̰͇̤̦̞t̤̩̯he̫̙͖̮m͇ ̲͔͘u̥͢p͉̥̩̳͠ͅo̤̩̼̰n͖̱̝̠͓̝ ͕̯͇̣̦͚̟y̺͡o̥͙̞u̖ as you try to ensure none of the children have to be caught in the crossfire of this horrendous abomination.

Quincy has suffered 1 Damage to Sanity.

The screams and the infernal laughter has taken root deep within your mind, but you fight on, driving back and pushing against Bloodwish's infernal and insatiable desire for bloody death as she tries to draw one more upon you and the few children that haven't been able to leave the now-ravaged children's medical wing.

She makes one last final push, trying her hardest to at least claim one child's life before she is obliterated for all time, but you stand in her way once more as the white, sin-purging fires show no mercy for the wickedness she has surrounded herself with. She screams violently, just as the last grain of sand in her dark soul's hourglass strikes the bottom.

"NnnNoooooooOoOOOOo̢̹͇͇͔̲̫o̢̟̝̥͔͎̫͠O̖̲̳̪͍͘O̵̼͍̟̖͟͠ ͎̣̳O͙̭͎̞̞̘̩͝!̺̪͇̪͉̜̗͍!̢̯̤͚̼!̶̜͇!̨̮̜̞̼̘̝̘́͜" she wails.

She bursts into chaotic fury as the white fires have fully consumed and purged the nightmare. White embers of fire scatter and dance about the floor, but thankfully, not a single child succumbed to the hideous nightmare they all unfortunately had to bear witness to.

With the darkness cleared, you struggle to catch your breath as your lungs are burning and your mind is sick with the shadows it now has to fight, but you look up and behold Franny's spirit, so unbelievably sympathetic over what transpired here.

"I'm... I'm so sorry!!" Franny wails, completely in disbelief. "I can't believe what she just made me do!!"

"It... it wasn't you," you remind her, trying to catch your breath and calm your nerves.

"Thank you for saving them..." Franny tells you with tears in her eyes as she is carried to the realms above. "Thank you... for saving us all..."

As her spirit is taken away, the children that are able to walk gather around you and feel safe in your presence. To them, you are a hero. You are their guardian angel. And you are the reason why they'll be able to continue living their lives, though they'll never forget you and what you did for them today.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Hope that hasn't been searched!
