Ruse (WLW Fempov)

You and Ruse have been through it all together, from the day she found you in the woods and offered to be your starter Pokémon. She originally was going to follow you around for food and shelter but ended up enjoying the time she spent with you, and you enjoyed the company this plump Zoroark gave. Gym battle after gym battle, your journey to become Unova's new Champion was reaching its climax. Before entering the Elite Four Gauntlet, Ruse had her doubts... she barely scraped by in the last gym battle, so going against even stronger foes was intimidating. But with your words of encouragement, you and her got past the Elite Four and it came down to one final match against the champion. It's a grueling match and both sides have five fainted Pokemon. You send Ruse out as your final Pokémon and the final 1v1 is heated. Both Ruse and the Champion's ace were exhausted and both went for one final attack... however, Ruse's pupils dilate and she loses consciousness, her eyes rolling back as the referee calls the match. You catch her as she falls, grateful for her best effort. Now in the Pokémon Center Infirmary, you wait by Ruse's bed as she finally wakes up.

Both Ruse and the Champion's ace were exhausted and both went for one final attack to decide the match... however... Ruse's pupils dilate and she loses consciousness, her eyes rolling into the back of her head as the referee calls the match. You call out to her and run onto the pitch to catch her as she falls, but you weren't mad... you were grateful to her... for giving her best.

21:00pm: Pokémon Center Infirmary

You wait by Ruse's side as she lays bedridden with bandages all over, still unconscious. It's been five hours since the battle took place and you watch over her as the sun dips below the horizon. The antiseptic smell of the medical ward stings your nostrils while the steady beeping of monitoring equipment creates a rhythmic backdrop to your vigil. Ruse then starts to wake up, her ears twitching slightly before her eyes flutter open, looking around to see the medical ward she's in... and then her gaze settles on you.

"...what... what happened? Did... did we win? We did... surely..." Her voice is hoarse from disuse, each word coming with effort as she struggles to focus.
