Covered in bruises? That's uncommon unless someone's had a really tough brawl. Pikachu vanished briefly before returning with a plate, atop which sat a strawberry cheesecake. He couldn't find more effective healing items, like faeries or hearts, so the food would have to do. Lifting it over his head he offered it to Verity, remembering her from their previous meetings. "Pikaaaa."

He then hopped up beside her, listening to her talk. His ears drooped. That was a tough situation. He thought about how he would deal with it.
