Misty just looks away from Blaze. "So that is it huh? One move and it's over. My attempt at helping becomes a pretense, and one of my pokemon is dead. Probably can't even be revived in a center, or with one of the many medicines that are supposed to do just that?" she shakes her head. "I need to go find a safe pokemon center, see what can be done with the others."
She attempts to get up. "Then figure out if I am going on. Not sure there is a point when something like that happens." She shrugs "I understood there would be people and pokemon out there much stronger then me..but my entire team wiped out in one move?" shakes her head.."Which way to the next safest pokemon center?"

Brona calls for his Growlithe to use bite and his Twiggin to use astonish, both attacks are aimed toward the Mismagius.
Puppetman calls for both Kadabras to use confusion and his Remoraid to use psybeam, all attacks are aimed toward Mismagius.

Misty:
((Not unconscious Mytical, DEAD. On a side note: Pokeballs don't work on Pokemon corpses.))
"Lady, there's a difference between your average Tentacool or Geodude and Acquegon. I saw you have a Pokedex, you can't have charged in there without knowing what you were getting into." ((He doesn't know Misty very well, does he? ))
"Which way to the next safest pokemon center?"
"I never heard if our side took Keida, so the closest friendly town would be Rieva, down the road to the south. But keep your head down, there are Bandra patrols around here now. They've taken Ternai, if you haven't guessed already," he explains. Then his expression darkens. "Somebody betrayed us. There's no way they could of got the drop on us like they did without inside help. Be careful who you trust."
----------------
Brona:
((Yes she could.  But there's a reason she's guarding a town with a Contest Hall: Hannah likes to show off. And if you lot had been able to coordinate as a group or strategize to any worthwhile extent, you might have been able to take advantage of that...pity your collective strategy consists of 'throw attacks randomly until the monster goes down.' ))

Mark is the one pushed, and in the confusion he has a rather nice attack of opportunity. Lapras uses mist to cloud the area, Skarmory uses swift and Ratls hits someone with confusion.
Lisa has her pokemon all target the Mismagius, Tunabu uses whirlpool (DOT), Slugma uses rock throw and Spheal uses powdered snow on the two pokemon and a grunt.
Tomas, out of use able pokemon, recalls Carvanha and Houndur and follows Mark out. Tom hands his pokeballs to Mark before the mist attack and says, "Hold on to these." When Lapras's mist hits, Tom kicks the closest of the Bandra grunts in the face.

Christian smiled and bowed his head to the nurse "Thank you, I'll go ask him if I have the time. Have a nice day." Christian walked out of the center.
He walked towards the shop up the hill for a while, before he noticed that no one was within hearing range. He then took out his cell phone(or pokédex) and texted all his grunts: "Smith Blakes is the shopkeeper of the shop up the hill. Meet me in the old ruins to discuss our next course of action. I'll be a little bit late as I will check out the shop."
Christian then walked to the shop up the hill.

Misty:
((Random Encounter: 51, 11, 32))
You narrowly avoid a Bandra patrol as you follow the road west, then south. About four hours into your journey you find a small Berry patch ((two plots)), dry and untouched off the side of the road:
((Berry roll = 44, 63
And memo to myself, update the Berry roll chart. ))
 
About an hour or so later you spy refugees ahead of you, also headed south; presumably from Ternai Town, as they're using a Baltoy to execute the floating-stretcher-trick the Starlight Squad used to evacuate the Shatterhigh Pokemon Center on one of their number, and another has bloody rags covering one eye. They're moving more slowly and they haven't noticed you yet.
((And no encounters after that, so you make it to Rieva safely.))

Misty avoids the other refugees, seeks out the center. Once there she calls out the injured pokemon and asks what can be done for them. Then waits until all the more seriously damaged pokemon are taken care of.

Christian:
You get messages back in the affirmative in short order—"Yessir!!!!!!" "okay boss c u their" and "right Off NK tty then!"—then head over to the specialty shop. On the outside it's an unremarkable building made of brick with a great deal of smoke billowing from the back (presumably normal, as the locals passing nearby take no notice of it). You occasionally hear a faint whoosh, whoosh noise from the same direction.
A bell on the door rings as you enter; inside the shop is very very warm, even by Helnith standards. The shop counter takes up the majority of one wall, and sitting on a shelf behind it are a series of Pokeballs:
      
Each has a labeled price:
Level Ball – 1000 PD
Lure Ball – 1000 PD
Moon Ball – 1000 PD
Friend Ball – 1000 PD – Sale! Today only! 750 PD
Love Ball – 1000 PD
Heavy Ball – 1000 PD
Fast Ball – 1000 PD
((And, since there's no programming flag in this game saying 'this is a Pokemon that flees' and I don't want to force you lot to play roulette with them, I'm using the HG/SS version of the Fast Ball: it works better on Pokemon with Base Speed of 100 or more instead of Pokemon that flee.))
Beyond that it looks more like a workshop than a regular shop. There's a table in the far corner with tools on and around it: several jars of paint, brushes, a vice, a fan, chisels and hammers of various sizes, a box of rounded mirrors and electrical parts—presumably everything you'd need to make an Apricorn Ball. There are two doors besides the one you came in: one on the far wall (closed) and another on the left that's opened into a room stacked with boxes that seems to go outside, based on the breeze and smoke smell coming through it.
((Let me know if you want a map.))
The latter darkens briefly as a man enters; he's wearing gloves and an apron, as well as a welding mask—although this last is tilted up so you can see his face. He appears to be in the mid-thirties to early forties range, but with more upper body muscle than you've seen on anything short of a Fighting type Pokemon. A Torkoal peers through the door behind him, obviously curious.
"Hello there! Can I help you lad?"
----------------
Misty:
((Apologies if this is not medically accurate. I'm going off wikipedia as usual, and it doesn't have much in the way of information I actually need—like timeframes.  ))
You arrive in Rieva without incident around 4 PM.
((Maroon: Inn-combo-restaurant
White: Pokemon Center
Gray: Herb shop))
The Pokemon Center is a little busier than you expected, holding a number of wounded people who have also made their way in this direction although none appear quite as bad off as you.
The nurse looks at you and takes your Pokeballs without comment. Her Chansey escorts you into the back to have your arm splinted and your wounds tended; six hours of walking with dirt in them means infection has started to set in the scrapes, but it isn't serious yet, it just hurts a great deal when they're cleaned.
Once they're finished your arm is in a cast and sling and your more serious injuries are taken care of—though you still look like you got hit by a train. You are advised not to get the cast wet, and to breath deeply at least once an hour for your ribs. Finally, the nurse hands you pain pills and salve for your extensive bruising. ((And I realized I forgot to add those to Christian's inventory when he cracked his ribs. *does so*))
Only then does the Nurse fill you in on the status of your Pokemon: All but Phoebe ((and of course Hedge)) will be staying overnight. Your Oddish she tells you should be ready to leave in the morning, though the nurse advises you to leave her out of her Pokeball for the day, as she'll be weak to Electric moves until she dries off. Evan and Dubba will need to stay an additional twenty-four hours beyond that to make a full recovery. She also flat out refuses to let you swap out the injured Pokemon until they've recovered.
It is late evening by the time you leave the nurse's care. ((~8PM))

Christian took an overlook of his money and decided he could buy 5 pokéballs here. He decided in his head what pokéballs he wanted to buy.
"Hello there! Can I help you lad?"
Christian looked over to the muscular man.
"Hello! Mr. Blakes I presume? My name is Christian. I take it you made all these pokéballs." Christian gestured to the pokéballs behind the counter. "So let me get my shopping done before I move on to the other reason I am here. I would like a moon ball, lure ball, friend ball, heavy ball and a fast ball, please."
((after paying for these items and obtaining them))
"So as I said my name is Christian, I am a traveling trainer from Hoenn. And last time I spoke to my dad and told him that I was going to Prai, he told me to look up a friend of his, Blakes and tell him that Arthur Young said hello."

You find a bunk for the night and sleep. It's obvious the Pokemon Center doesn't often get this many people, as you can't get a room to yourself and nearly every bed is full.
((Edit: +2 Nomel Berries and +2 Sitrus Berries from the patch BTW. I'm also assuming you looted the Charcoal off Blaze unless you say otherwise, though in future you might want to say so outright, either way.))
----------------
Christian:
((5,649 – 4,750 = 899 PD remaining))
"I remember him," Mr. Blakes responds genially. "Ranger, isn't he? Likes Ice types? Last I heard he was on the other side of the region, how has he been?" You can almost see the gears turning in his head: On the other side of the region...wait, wasn't he part of...? Mr. Blakes expression turns concerned and in a quieter voice he asks: "He isn't in any sort of trouble is he lad?"

"Yeah, he's a ranger, and it is true that he likes Ice types, I can still remember him ranting on and on about Glalies, Glaceons, Snorunts, Swinubs and the likes." Christian smiled, it had been a while since he had thought back to the days he had lived together with his parents. His dad had left over a year ago and his mother had gone after him soon after, leaving Christian in the care of a friend of them on Dewford.
Mr. Blakes expression turns concerned and in a quieter voice he asks: "He isn't in any sort of trouble is he lad?"
Christian's face turned concerned as well as he slowly answered "Nooo, not as far as I know at least. But it has been a while since I last talked with him...But that was a while ago." Christian took a look around the room, trying to catch anything that could be of interest when he would have to attack this place.

"Alright, Luxio, bite that Mismagius! Raticate, use scary face on it. Mona, hit them with acid. Slugma, yawn at the Flaaffy. And Snorlax... Where did you go?" She recalls the vanishings, and then the screams of pain. She looks over to Mina, frowning. "Snorlax, if you can, amnesia!"

Mina:
Mina didn't see the frown, being busy escaping through the Mist.
She did feel a little guilty, but had reasoned their odds were better using Snorlax for the diversion than if she'd had Natu use, say, a couch. She'd apologize later.
"Sandshrew, Sand Attack!" Mina motioned in the direction of the perimeter rather than Hannah, hoping her Ground type would catch on. "Keep it up!"
Sparky had his Inkel follow suit with Mud Slap.
Almost clear!
----------------
Misty:
You wake up around 6 AM to loud snoring from one of your temporary roommates. The atmosphere in the Pokemon Center is subtly cleaner than the previous day, most of the arrivals having gotten medical attention by now.
A handful of early risers are scattered around the lobby, talking quietly or sitting in silence. One of these is Lijan; still with bandages around his head and a far away look in his eyes, he nonetheless seems much more alert than he had been prior to the attack. An older woman who looks to be local by her lack of dirt and injuries pushes her way through the front door, carrying a thermos. She retrieves a stack of cups from Nurse Joy (who looks exhausted) and begins filling them and handing them out.
----------------
Christian:
((Two windows in the main part of the shop (the part you're in right now), three doors as described. The doors are ordinary wooden doors, the building is brick. Floor is wood and echoes slightly. Aside from the fan there are grates in the ceiling over the 'work' area, presumably for ventilation. Both the door you came in and the door leading outside have locks; the closed door does not as far as you can tell. The main area appears to be larger than the side room you can see. Anything in particular you want to know?))
----------------
Main Group:
Mismagius uses Thunder! ((Roll = 98))
Attack missed!
The party can smell lightning-scorched ground as the attack harmlessly strikes the ground.
Dien calls for Manectric to use Bite!
((Sleep roll = 64!))
Manectric wakes up!
Manectric uses Bite! ((Roll = 43))
Mismagius is hit for 25 damage!
It's super effective!
Noctowl uses Air Slash! ((Roll = 6))
Mismagius is hit for 23 damage!
It's about this time that Mina's Natu returns, Snorlax in tow. Mina recalls the little bird with scarcely more than a backward glance.
The Taskmaster is obviously having trouble making out her targets, and just directs her Pokemon to hit whatever it can see.
Flaaffy uses Discharge!
Noctowl is hit for 61 damage!
It's super effective!
Twiggin is hit for 38 damage!
It's not very effective...
Remoraid is hit for 200 damage!
It's super effective!
Remoraid faints!
Skarmory is hit for 141 damage!
It's super effective!
Skarmory's ability Sturdy prevents KO!
Skarmory has 1 HP!
No effect!
Mina's Sandshrew looks vaguely surprised as the attack passes harmlessly through her. (( Gotta love those random targets!))
Ralts is hit for 82 damage!
Ralts faints!
Tunabu is hit for 103 damage!
It's super effective!
Tunabu faints!
Raticate uses Scary Face! ((Roll = 17))
Mismagius' Speed falls sharply!
Kadabra 2 uses Confusion! ((Roll = 14)) ((Roll = 75))
Mismagius is hit for 10 damage!
Brona calls for Gorwlithe to use Bite!
((Sleep Roll = 54))
Growlithe still sleeps!
Luxio uses Bite! ((Roll = 63))
Mismagius is hit for 16 damage!
It's super effective!
Kadabra 1 uses Confusion! ((Roll = 53)) ((Roll = 71))
Mismagius is hit for 9 damage!
Brona calls for Twiggin to use Astonish!
((Sleep Roll = 79))
Twiggin wakes up!
Twiggin uses Astonish! ((Roll = 4))
Mismagius is hit for 7 damage!
It's super effective!
Spearow uses Leer! ((Roll = 10))
Mismagius' Defense falls!
Flaaffy's Defense falls!
Skarmory uses Swift!
A couple of Grunt Pokemon take the attack this time; it's difficult to see how much damage was done through the remnants of steam, but it's clear they aren't happy.
Lapras uses Mist!
The Ice type's attack bolsters the fading steam, renewing the party's cover. Tom uses it attack a Grunt unfortunate enough to be on the edge, and those nearby can hear the man's jaw crack with the impact of Tom's foot.
Mona uses Acid! ((Roll = 70))((Roll = 37, 16))
Mismagius is hit for 7 damage!
Flaaffy is hit for 11 damage!
Sandshrew and Inkel also use their attacks to continue covering the retreat.
Spheal uses Powdered Snow! ((Roll = 36)) ((Roll = 90, 22, 87 for the Grunt))
Mismagius is hit for 6 damage!
Flaaffy is hit for 8 damage!
Stacey's Slugma uses Yawn!
Flaaffy became drowsy!
Lisa's Slugma uses Rock Throw! ((Roll = 58))
Mismagius is hit for 9 damage!
Stacey calls for Snorlax to use Amnesia!
((Sleep roll = 99!))
Snorlax wakes up!
Snorlax uses Amnesia!
Snorlax's Special Defense rises sharply!
Snorlax regains 7 HP due to held Leftovers!
"Sir, we need to go!" Sparky calls back to Dien.
The Starlight Squad Lieutenant looks sour that over half the defenders are bailing, but reluctantly waves his subordinate to keep moving and starts edging toward the break in the line himself. He does however pull his last Pokeball off his belt and call out his still-battered Ground type for his last stand.
Dien sends out Vibrava!
Meanwhile it seems the brief confusion caused by Mina's diversion is clearing up, as the noise in that direction is dying down.

Mark recalls Ratls and Lapras. He yells back to Tom, "Let's get out of here!"
Tom yelled from the mist, "Yeah, run kid! Make sure fearless leader and yourself get gone!" He picked up the grunt's pokeballs and threw the balls themselves at the heads of grunt-shaped forms in the mist to draw attention away from Mina and Mark, running off in a different direction entirely to draw them and their pokemon away from his retreating companions.
Mark didn't really hear him, he was running behind Mina already with his sped up but injured Skarmory trailing beside him. "Alright, where to?" He panted beside the girl.
Meanwhile, Lisa had her pokemon also rush the grunts, attacking the opposite side that the other group had assaulted. A new whirlpool and spheal's ice shards were sent towards the grunts, and she was moving quickly after the attacks went off.

Misty:
The Nurse eyes your broken arm and says wearily, "No, I don't think you should."
The older woman takes this opportunity to press a cup on you. "Have some tea, dearie."
----------------
Mina:
((My turn. Skarmory lost the Speed boosts thanks to Haze remember? And Lisa's Tunabu got KO'd.))
Idiot! Was he trying to get himself killed? "Come on!" she called to the Starlight Squad member currently engaging in fisticuffs in the thinning mist. Now was not the time to play hero, now was the time to run for the hills! And where was everyone else? Did the whole 'we walked into a trap' aspect of the situation just not register with these people???
"Alright, where to?"
Mina pushed her concern for the others aside for the time being and risked a glance around to orient herself. They'd broken out to the north, with most of the town between them and the road back to Ternai—and on reflection the road was probably a bad idea anyway, being both an obvious route and comparatively low on cover.
"Keep going until we either lose them or hit the coast. We might need to backtrack later to throw them off, but for now, we need distance."

Thanks the person offering the tea, and takes it to drink it. Then..
After retrieving enough pokemon to get back up to 6 (Starting with Krabby, Stripes, Uni, then whatever else depending on how many she needs counting Blaze gone and the injured pokemon still in the center)..she looks at the Nurse. "Need something to do to pass the time. Please? Doesn't matter what..just something that will help somebody."
