Palila gasped and pointed as a flash of colour fell from the cave opening... and then lost sight of Amy in the waterfall turbulence. It seemed like a very long time until a buizel came floating to the surface with Amy in tow. Palila let out a breath. While she wondered what had happened back there, she was mostly just glad that they were out of it now.
While the rest of the group seemed rather unharmed, unsoaked and unresponsive, Palila scooted over to Amy.
"Oy, you look like a drowned ratatta. Firehead gave me a towel." She had forgotten everyones new identities already, so nicknames were what she had fallen back on. Firehead referred to Sophie, who had bright red and yellow streaky hair as of last night. Palila wrapped the towel half around herself and half around Amy, not wanting to let go of it. She had to sit close in order to share. Also, body warmth was good.
She sat very still (albeit with the occasional shiver) waiting for a signal to show that this was too close and abandon the warm towel to Amy's posession. Meanwhile, she looked back over at the rest of the group. To her, most of them seemed to be no help. Even if she had no pokemon left to battle with, she doubted that leaving the group and running ahead could get any worse than being attacked by a gyarados, or laserbeam arm man, right?
"Is town far away? If its close, I mi-ight jog up ahead to st-stay warm and get to b-buying some drier clothes before the shops sh-shut." She shivered her way through a proposal, scanning peoples faces. She had almost no resistance to cold- Alola was notorious for its warmth, even at night!
She sat still a moment longer, then something seemed to click internally.
"You know what, I'm sure town is close. I don't need your permission- I'm just going to head off."
She stood up, shrugged off the blanket, hugged herself to stay warmer, and ran off towards town.

Her bare feet pounded on the muddy path. The forest was gradually giving way to a flowery meadow, and more and more colour was sprinkled between the sparse trees. Despite the springtime atmosphere, it was still quite cold.
"A-achoo!" Palila sneezed and shivered.
"A-choo!" Her own voice echoed back at her from the trees.
She whirled around, eyes darting through the bushes. Surely it wasn't another ambush!
"A-choo!" Her voice echoed again, and she squinted. There, a splash of colour among the trees.
"Oh no you don't! I am SO not ready for battles right now!" She dug into her pocket and pulled out a soaking wet Pokeball, readying it to throw.
A Chatot hopped out into view curiously. "Oh no y-" It echoed her, but only got that far when the pokeball smacked it on the beak.

Palila watched the Pokeball struggle for some time, and bit her lip, not approaching. It seemed like this pokemon was going to be strong and hard to control. Thinking about it, this is one pokemon she really could use.
"C'mon c'mon. Stay in! I don't have a poketch anymore, so you're gonna be my messenger service, you magnificent mimic!"
And with that, the pokeball stopped shaking. It locked tight, just like all the others.
Palila picked up the ball and spun on her heel, making a beeline for the pokecentre.
((Palila Exits Pokemon Platinum -- Might do one or two posts later, sending the Chatot back and forth to the group with recorded messages to say stuff like DONT WORRY I'M FINE BYE, but she's not going to physically be around))
