B) You don't know Jude well enough to hand her your pokemon, go with her to her tent

You want to get to know Jude a little better, and only a fool would trust a stranger with their pokemon.
"Uh, well ya know, Pumpkaboo would probably be really scared if she woke up and I wasn't there. I think it'd be best if I went with you. You know, for emotional support." there's a quick silence. You're more nervous now then you were during your first battle. She laughs.
"Yeah, that's fine. I know I wouldn't trust my pokemon with some stranger. Even if she was cute." Jude laughs.

Jude leads you to her tent. It's pretty messy inside, there's medical supplies scattered on the floor, a pile of medical books in the corner.
"Sorry about the mess, I was doing inventory and a joltik jumped out of my first aid kit." Jude explains.
"Are you scared of bugs?"
"Not so much bugs as I am pokemon..." Jude grows quiet. You laugh, but soon realize Jude wasn't joking.
"Oh, you're serious?"
"Yeah. I've always been scared of them, just stuff that happened as a kid, but I'm getting better. Yoko's really done a lot to help me with my fears. That's actually why I joined her group."
"Well that's cool, but are you really sure you should be examining my pokemon if you're afraid of them?"
"Y-yeah, I mean if Yoko thinks I'm capable of it, then I have to try." she gulps, her hands are shaking.

You let Pumpkaboo and Shinx out of their pokeballs. Pumpkaboo has regained consciousness.
"Hey girl, how are you doing?"
"Pump?" Pumpkaboo says in confusion looking to the confused Shinx to her side. The Shinx looks to you and bares his fangs. Pumpkaboo stands up and stands between the two you.
"Pum, pumpkaboo!" you step between the two.
"It's okay girl. We caught Shinx." you look over to the electric pokemon and let it sniff your hand. It growls but allows you to pet it. Shinx continues to growl but proceeds to lay down.

You look over to Jude and find wide-eyed and shaking. She's whispering something to herself.
"It's okay it's okay it's okay, you got this you got this you got this." Pumpkaboo and Shinx look at her and then to you in confusion.
"This is Jude, she's going to help take care of you two tonight."
"Y-yeah. I just need a favor."
"What's that?"
"I need you to push me towards your pokemon."
"What?"
"Just push me!" Jude yells.

You walk over to Jude and push her towards your pokemon. She lets out a yelp before tensing up. She takes a deep breath.
"Yoko believes in you." she stops shaking and places her hands on Pumpkaboo. She examines Pumpkaboo and places her hand on the spot where Shinx bit her earlier. Pumpkaboo tenses up and lets out a little cry.
