OOC: I just now realized that I completely forgot the fact that this takes place after HG/SS, in which Cinnabar Island should have been destroyed by a volcanic eruption, save for a Pokemon Center. Ah well, I can work around it, as I doubt that realistically everything would have been destroyed.

Lyssane opened the door, and stepped out into some sort of completely wrecked hallway. Wrecked as in the walls were all cracked, and almost all of the windows had some black rock oozing through.
"That map was completely outdated, wasn't it?" Natu remarked. "There was a travel brochure on the flight saying that Cinnabar Island erupted several years ago."
"Bad place to teleport to," Murkrow responded.
"Hey, I've never seen Kanto before. It's not like I know any Pokemon Centers around here."
However, there was some light in the hallway. It seemed to be coming from a destroyed wall that everyone could fit through. Past that wall were slopes of hardened lava and an ocean of water as far as the eye could see, with several peaceful Fire-type Pokemon roaming around and a Pokemon Center at the bottom. There were many trainers patrolling the area close to the center, as if they were expecting something to attack. Lyssane ran down to the Pokemon Center through the rugged terrain, and in the process a Charmander had taken notice and started to follow too. To Natu and Murkrow, the Charmander looked like your typical curious Charmander, and most importantly, completely normal. At least for now.
All of the trainers directed Lyssane to the Pokemon Center, and said that Nurse Joy could explain everything. From there, Lyssane explained her story to Nurse Joy, while Natu and Murkrow told everything they knew to the Chansey and any Pokemon that were currently being treated, knowing that at least one of them had to know how to talk to humans in an understandable way.
After listening to everything, Nurse Joy said, "Give me your Pokedex. I'm going to modify it, but it takes a while. You're going to need it." While the Pokedex was downloading something, she further explained, "I'm surprised that there are any flights going into this region. I thought the authorities closed off all flights after the zombie Pokemon started appearing."
Lyssane asked, "Zombie Pokemon?"
"You're really not from around here. Few know where the zombie outbreak started, although Blaine told me yesterday - before leaving to scout around the Seafoam Islands - that Silph Co, in Saffron City, was doing an experiment involving Pokerus. Something went wrong, and here we are today. Cinnabar Island is mostly safe for now due to how remote this place is, although if what your Pokemon told us about the Seafoam Islands is true, it won't be long before a wild Pokemon on this island gets infected and we have an army to deal with.
I wonder if your flight was illegally sanctioned... I'm surprised that there was an already infected Pokemon aboard that flight. I'm even more surprised that you didn't know much about it. I would have thought that this would be major news in all of the other regions. It sounds like our communication system is terrible. Can you tell me anything about the people on board that flight?"
"It was a private jet. A lot of the people on board were quite rich. I did notice a Silph Co. scientist who was muttering something about a mistake in 'the results of his research' and hoping that he 'noticed it early enough so that the one Pokemon couldn't affect any others in Hoenn'. He was also muttering something like 'what the hell were my superiors thinking?'"
Nurse Joy nodded. "Well, that sounds hopeful for Hoenn. A few hours ago, the remaining Pokemon scientists of Pallet Town made a program that could detect Zombie Pokemon. That's what I'm downloading into your Pokedex right now. It will take at least another hour, so talk to the nearby trainers to learn some more about what's happening. By the way, you and your Pokemon only mentioned you having a Togepi, Natu, Murkrow, and a missing - and hopefully not zombified - Tropius. What about that Charmander talking to your Togepi?"
Lyssane turned around and was surprised to see Togepi trying to speak to the Charmander. Nurse Joy said, "That Charmander followed you in. You're lucky it's not a Zombified Pokemon, because there have been reports of trainers getting attacked and becoming zombified too. Are you going to take that Charmander along with you?" Lyssane looked through her briefcase and noticed that she forgot to bring along any empty Pokeballs, and she couldn't possibly use the one Tropius used. "Not as one of my Pokemon. If the Charmander wants to stay with me, then he'll keep following us around. Maybe I'll take him in soon. I've always wanted to become a Flying-type gym leader."
Lyssane went outside, with the Charmander following, and spoke to the nearby trainers. Several times, a zombified water-type Pokemon crawled or leapt out of the ocean and attacked, but none of them could do anything against the army of Pokemon defending the Pokemon Center. An hour later, the Zombie Detection Program finished installing, and Lyssane faced yet another dillema - how to get off Cinnabar Island.
Nurse Joy said, "We're close to running out of supplies. I think we can only hold out for another two weeks before being forced to abandon all efforts to protect the island, unless the centers from the distant and currently zombie-free Sevii Islands decide to risk helping us out. Right now, we're hoping that the fishermen that left three days ago managed to reach Vermillion City and are returning with supplies, but it's not looking hopeful if it's taking them this long. That's why Blaine went to scout."

Current Location: Cinnabar Island Pokemon Center
Current Pokemon: Same condition as before. That Charmander is not an official member of Lyssane's team.
Current Objective: Wait for Blaine to return (if he does), hopefully with Tropius, and figure out what to do from there.
