Palila laughed at the old womans sarcasm, glad to see that a silly remark didn't deter her.
"A great opportunity, huh." She raised an eyebrow as the woman explained herself.

"Look, I gotta be honest with ya- I don't know where the heck I am, and I don't know where Eterna City is." Palila explained with a sigh, and then shrugged.
"But, if your wingulls are so well trained, it probably won't matter if I take them the wrong direction- I'll figure out where Eterna City is eventually, and they will have had more time to explore. You won't die in the next few weeks, right, Gemstone Gran?" She half joked and poked fun at her age again, but was half serious. Palilas mother was always making her do helpful things for the elderly people that lived nearby, so despite her sass, she was inclined to help.
"I'll do it."

The elderly lady took an empty pokeball from Palila and pressed it against a wingull that was roosting in the stall, then waved down another wingull that was slightly larger. It seemed like that was the one she was going to lead, and the one in the Pokeball was to keep.
Palila nodded to the lady and gave her a wave before being startled by the sounds of a scuffle nearby.

Her Starly was fighting a Ratatta over a crumb near some nice ceramic pots, and the two of them had bumped into one and knocked it over. It fell with a clatter and Palila rushed over, bringing out a Pokeball.
"Starly, return!" She zapped it back into safety and ran away from the scene, noting that Starlys stats had changed slightly. Maybe someone had left rare candy crumbs on the ground!

Either way, it was getting pretty late, and Palila did NOT want to be stuck outside in the cold all night. She didn't stop at the shops or buy anything else on her way back to the Pokecentre in her haste, and regretted that she still didn't have any warmer clothes.

Palila stepped back into the Pokecentre main hall, feeling like the first one back (although maybe she wasn't).
She took a seat on a comfy chair at the back of the room and pulled her hoodie up over her head, leaning back and looking up at the ceiling. It was going to be a long night sleeping in a chair like this, but at least the foyer was warm.
Being homeless sucks.
