Yue blinks as she watches Alex run off. "A voice...?" Yue walks to the mouth of the cave. "Hello? Anyone there?" She calls out as she releases Hearth from her apricorn to see if her flame's calming effect will work on whatever's in there.

Yue's Litwick, Hearth, tries desperately to communicate that everyone should leave, but it's too late. Within moments of Yue approaching the cave again, an unearthly shriek emanates from it. Seemingly materializing out of thin air, a young woman appears. She looks very angry, yet also surprisingly human.
"Foolish humans. I gave you more than your fair share of warnings to leave this place. Now you shall suffer for your trespass!" Her voice sounds calm, but only in that hers seems a very cold, freezing anger, as opposed to a hot, destructive one. Time will tell whether the group informally known as 'Yue & Servants' will regret their decision to not turn and leave immediately when given the opportunity to do so.

Toadstool and Stunfisk nodded...well Toadstool nodded, Stunfisk gave a sort of affirmative wiggle to Alex's request for the two of them to move their trainer. Toadstool grabbed onto Leon's pants with his claws and Stunfisk put itself under Leon's chin and together they tried to move their trainer, they managed to move Leon about an inch before they collapsed from the strain taking a moment to compose themselves before attempting another movement.

Yue groggily opens her eyes. "Where am...Oh! Oh no! I hope I'm not late! I'm not late, am I?!" Yue bolts out of bed, grabs her Apricorns, and rushes out of the room to find Eric, unwittingly leaving her teammates back in the infirmary to pay for her treatment. "EEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCC!!!" She shouts at the top of her lungs. "WHEEEERREEEEE AAAAAAAARRRRRRREEEEEEE YYYYYYOOOOOOOUUUUUU?!?!?"

Of course, Yue seems to have forgotten that Eric doesn't live at the Guild either. That, and he gave her a specific address to meet him at. Of course randomly shouting inside the Guild isn't going to make him appear. One of the healers comes out and gives Yue a stern talking to about noise levels.

After receiving the scolding from the healer and remembering that she was supposed to meet Eric at a specific place, Yue rushed over to the aforementioned location to meet up with him...while yelling out his name at the top of her lungs the whole way because she thought it was okay as long as it wasn't inside the Guild.

Yue gets many annoyed looks from people she rushes by, but most pay her no heed. No sooner has she reached the approximate location of her meeting with Eric when she suddenly finds herself running face-first into an invisible wall, and promptly yanked off her feet into the air. The meeting location is a moderate-sized home in the nicer district of Saffron City. A pink, cat-like Pokemon with a red gem in the center of its forehead walks casually out of the shadows, eyes glowing psychic blue.
"Noisy human!" The Pokemon telepathically screeches at Yue. "You dare trespass on our land?! State your business immediately!"

"Hi! You're really cute, you know? Are you an Eeveelution? Sorry for yelling like that. Eric said he'd introduce me to his sisters who toke care of Eevees. Is that where they live? I guess it makes sense seeing as they're sibblings. Sorry about the yelling by the way. Oh! I forgot to introduce myself! My name's Yue! What's yours?" Yue said with a bright smile, actually managing to completely forget that she was currently being held upside down due to her excitement.

"Oh, you're friends with him. Hrmph." Espeon seems to not like Eric much. Maybe a trait inherited from whichever of the sisters owns it? "Well whatever he told you, the answer is 'no'. Especially not to you. Now go away!" Espeon proceeds to unceremoniously dump Yue back onto the ground by letting go, causing her to crash face-first into the dirt.

"Owowow...That hurt...Between you, the grape monsters, and that Witch in the Swamp I seem to be getting hurt...a lot...lately..." Yue's eyes widen as she realized what she just said.

Yue's mind feels like it's been set on fire the very moment she utters the phrase 'witch in the swamp'. Spots dance before her eyes just before her vision is whisked away in a whirlwind of colors caused by intense pain. If anyone were to see the Espeon just now, its fur would be standing on end as it stares wide-eyed at Yue, back arched and tail straight up in fear and alarm. Yue writhes on the ground for several minutes, mouth open in a silent scream as she clutches at her head. When it is finished, she feels... different. A lot different, but still mostly okay. It's weird, because she gets the feeling that whatever just happened, whatever she accidentally triggered, was meant to cause a lot more damage.
It's at that very moment that Eric happens across the scene. Seeing Yue lying on the ground in the fetal position, his medic instincts kick in and he rushes to her side. He glances at his sister's Espeon, silently questioning it on what happened.
"Miss, are you alright? What has happened?" He asks, calmly but quickly.

Yue sat up and looked herself over as she pondered the answer to Eric's question. She felt...peaceful. Like she was in the middle of a peaceful slumber of some sort. It took a little while to figure out why.
"My heart...It's not beating..." She says absentmindedly.

"What?!" Eric exclaims, producing a listening device from somewhere on his person and gently pressing it to Yue's chest where her heart is. After a moment's searching, he looks at Yue, confused. "Either this is the strangest dream I've ever had (which is saying something) or you should be dead...wait...I have an idea!" He first grabs Yue's wrist, feeling for a pulse. Then he checks all other locations where a pulse would normally be felt easily. "Well, so much for that plan.. I thought somehow it had simply gone quiet, but it seems as though your heart has somehow stopped altogether! Which, again, means that medically you should be dead. Yet you are not. Hm. Best not to continue causing a scene here in the street, so come inside with me and together we'll see if we can't figure out what's going on."
He gently grabs Yue's hand and pulls her to her feet. He then leads her inside, the Espeon hot on their heels. The house looks like any ordinary house, with a living area, kitchen, etc. It's quite clean and tidy.

Yue lets herself be lead inside, calmer than she's ever been in her life. "Do you have any ideas what's causing this?" Yue asked, curious to find out the details of her condition.

After as thorough an examination as he can offer, Eric throws his hands up. "I'll be honest with you, Yue. Medically speaking, you should be dead. Human hearts don't just quit beating while maintaining all functions. Therefore, the only conclusion I can come to is that magic is involved somehow. Unfortunately, magic is not my strong suit. I prefer the realm of medical science. Regardless, you seem functional and responsive. Do you feel alright? Any numbness, pain, that sort of thing?"

Back in the infirmary, Brooke wakes with a groan. "Ungh. What th'hell..." Then she recalls what was happening right before she... blacked out? No, one of the ghosts must've got her... and bolts upright, one hand reaching for her bow. It isn't within arm's reach as usual, which is another sign something's not right, but that gives her the time to take in her surroundings before she does anything. This is the Guild infirmary. That's... probably safe. They must've won, then, or at least got away. She glances around for the others - or anyone who could explain how she got here, for that matter.

Yue gives a curtsy to Eric as he leaves. "Thank you for both your company and concern, but please do not blame yourself for my misfortune, Sir Eric." After Eric left, Yue strolled over to where Brooke wass still getting her bearings.
"Are you quite alright, Lady Brooke? You seem to be quite disoriented." Yue said, sitting down chair next to Brooke's bed. "Nonetheless, that is no excuse for poor language. A proper lady should not defile her tongue with such coarse words. And just look your hair!" She continued, leaning in to give it a few strokes, before tutting. "No, no, this will not do. Very well then, as I require more proper attire myself, we shall just have to make a day of it."

"... Yue?" Brooke blinks at... well, at someone who looks an awful lot like Yue, at least. "Is that you? Do you know what the he- what the heck happened back there? Last I remember..." She pauses, feeling uneasy for some reason. "Well, things didn't look too good. Did someone haul us out? Where's Leon?"

Yue place a finger on Brooke's lips to silence her. "There is no need to become so worked up, Lady Brooke. It is unbecoming for a young lady to show such an ungraceful appearance." She said, patting Brooke's head. "Alas, I am afraid that I can not answer your questions as I possess no more knowledge on the topic than you. I awoke in this room not too much earlier than you did, and did not see Sir Leon at the time, though I profess that I left in quite a hurry and as such it is entirely possible that I may have simply overlooked him in my haste." She continued, giving Brooke a slight bow of apology. "Whilst I am apologizing as such, allow me to express both my sincerest apologies for the great deal of trouble I must have put you and the others through up until this point, as well as my deepest gratitude for all you have done for me."

It was at this point that Alex finally began to stir awake. He slumped an arm across eye eyes, then pinched himself, before finally opening his eyes and trying to sit up. While doing so, he muttered, “Definitely not dreaming. That is Yue, but that doesn’t sound like Yue.” Alex took in the sights of the room to see who was all there. He sighed in relief seeing Yue and Brooke awake and there. It was then that he panicked after not seeing Leon. ‘Oh no. Please tell me Leon made it. In my haste I didn’t check his vitals. I should have stayed awake longer!’ He jumped out of bed and ran to the nearest apothecary. “Excuse me! I brought in three adventurers last night. Do you know what happened to the last? Please tell me he’s alright.” He then turned to the others and asked, “Where’s Leon? Did you guys see him?”
