The Drowzee struck a meditative pose and hovered into the air. Alice still felt nervous, especially when she saw the purple psychic energy surrounding it.

"Zee Zeee" It said.

Alice felt a strange thought slip into her mind. She saw someone running, then the tail of the Arbok and the man breathing. Her eyes widened as she realised the Drowzee was showing her what had happened at this spot. She opened her mouth in shock as she realised the Drowzee was inside her mind. But before she could do anything, the connection faded and the Drowzee rolled backwards, seemingly tired out. Alice knew now that she had to take the left path.

Alice disliked the vulnerability she felt around the psychic type. It was possible to protect yourself from people and from most Pokemon with the simple use of her own Pokemon. But psychic types could slink around all barriers, easily finding their way into her very mind. She shivered a little, but she also felt very grateful to the Drowzee for helping her. It seemed very friendly for a wild Pokemon and Alice couldn't help but be a little suspicious after all she had seen and heard on this route so far. Nevertheless, her fear was slowly abating into mild discomfort.

"Thanks again, Drowzee," Alice said to the Pokemon. It was a girl, she realised somehow, her instincts kicking in. She pulled some leftover lunch out of her bag and put it on the ground a few feet away from the resting Drowzee, as close as she dared to get. "I really appreciate your help." Alice knew it wasn't much, but she had no time to waste.

Alice pressed a button on her Poketech and recorded a quick voice message, which she sent to the group.

"It's Alice. Aster's been stolen, I'm going after the guy now, but he knows who we are. I'm taking the left path. Be careful and don't trust anything or anyone on this route," she emphasised, hoping her Poketech was still working after her fall.

Then she spun around and began to run down the left path, her muscles slowly awakening properly. She pulled out a Pokeball from her bag and sent out Paprika as she ran.

"Stay out of sight," she said to the mouse.

Paprika ran in the bushes at the side of the path. If Alice found the PI she didn't want to be caught unaware again. Paprika would be able to help her this time. She hoped.
