[Experiment 020: This doesn't look good]

[madegrowth]

[The gear turns on to see Shiho. For once, she planned this. She looks pretty beaten up. Lots of cuts, bruises, etc. She has been fighting a bug war. And although she has a new found hate for bug Pokemon, she's perfectly fine with her Surskit.]

Is anyone in Violet City still having difficulty with the bugs? They seemed to have calmed down a bit,

[Hoshi-- good thing he hadn't left for Goldenrod just yet]

Shi-- oi! Shiho!

[video]

[madegrowth]

[Yeeeaaaah, just a bit.]

Nnghh........Ku.....Kuroba....kun?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Shiho, where are you?

[video]

[madegrowth]

[She uses all of her strength to lift herself up, even if just a little, and look around.]

I........I think I'm........near Sprout........Tower.....

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Damn it... hang on!

[shutting off the gear and heading that way!]

[madegrowth]

[An incredibly weak laugh.} Do........I have.....much of a choice............

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[No response, since he had turned his gear off.

but a few minutes later, he's reaching for Shiho's shoulder to pull her to her feet]

Hey, Shiho. Can you hear me?

[action]

[madegrowth]

[She's pretty weak, but is still conscious.]

Kuroba-kun...? Is.........that....you?

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

Yeah, it's me. [pulling her up so she supports her weight on his shoulder]

C'mon, stay awake, okay? I've gotta get you to the Pokemon Center.

[action]

[madegrowth]

O......okay......[She tries to stand up, but stumbles. She doesn't even have the strength to support herself.]

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[he's holding onto her as tightly as he can]

Oi, Shiho. Lean on me.

[action]

[madegrowth]

A...all....right....[She puts her weight on him, and tries as hard as she can to stay up.]

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[Unfortunately, due to his own injuries, he kind of has to... limp to the Center. So it takes them a while to get there]

[action]

[madegrowth]

[She's slipping in and out of consciousness by now, and isn't quite sure of what she's saying.]

Ha.....ha.......I...suppose....this is......what I.......deserve........

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[glancing at her as she says that with a frown, but they're almost there! The Center is in sight]

[action]

[madegrowth]

[She can barely tell that they're almost at the Center. She's so busy thinking about how much.....this is a punishment. It almost seems as though she is about to cry. She's so close to going unconscious, but not before she whispers something almost inaudible.]

How........fitting this punishment.............is for......a............murderer.........................
