Ranger looked back at Caitlen. "At best I'll still be able to fly," he corrected, "Yes, flygon heal quickly, but a bad gash is one thing. I just had a chunk of my body torn off. Things like that don't just heal and grow back, they take months just for a full scar to form. Do you not understand that I am now missing enough of my body that a bone was exposed?" he was starting to get angry. This Bayleef was acting like he would be just fine in a few days. He might never be able to fly again because of how unbalanced his body would be. Ranger caught himself before he made an outburst.
"Sorry," he sighed, "Thank you for the clean up. I appreciate it, but you don't understand how drastic this is for me. This is like Melrose losing her tail, only worse, because it could mean living or dieing for me. Melrose can live without her tail, but if I'm unbalanced, I may never fly again. That is how flygon survive, and if I can't... I'll be dead within the month I've recovered."
