[good evening, Johto! on your 'gears tonight is a kid with a thousand problems-- and his pokémon are at the moment every single one.]

-- Hey, guys? Quick question.

[Sora points the feed toward a cozy spot of trees near the exit to Violet City, and the entrance to Route 31. a giant boulder-sized Skarmory is contentedly perched amongst the trees,

Cue a loud GYAAAAAAAAAAAAA! which probably translates roughly to, "̟̺̻̜̻̝̾ͫF̷̼̮̣̳̑̎͊ͩo̺̱̳̒̋̋̌O̊̽҉͙̥̪̦͎̙ͅd.̬͇̖͓͎̳͕͋ͬ̈́͗ͯ̋ ̘͙̭͙͌͗ͥͣͅẼ̷͙̥̅͌a̘̻͂͐Tͭ̉̿͏̩͎͉̬̗̻̼.͎͓̪̘͉̯ ̺͚̯̳̙̎ͤͪ͝ḳ͉̯͍̠̜̰́I͕̹͕͇̜͖̙͆̋̆͐͐͗̕l̗̳ͣͪ̋̀L̷͔͕̹͍̙̃͊̚̚̚.̸̮͙̒̔̉ ̖̘̤̠̝̱̾ͅG̵̞̹̲͓͇̱̱ͨR̳̙̮̎͊̎̿ͩY̰͙͙̬̪̊̿A̖̳̓̓ͫ̔͒̽̃R̡͉͐ͮ̉R̶R̴̮̘̠͌ͪ̓ͅR͕͇͜Ḣ͟Ģ͚̣͊̀̓ͯ̀̇H̭̦̗ͯ̓̂R̥͇͕̐̑̎͋̍ͣ͒A̛̟̞̭̳͗R͎̋͑ͯG͉̹̒H̠̳͔͈̗̣̪,͗ͨͧ̍̉"̢̖̘ in Pokéspeak.

Good thing Riku's chasing right behind Terror with Flare in tow.

He'll... keep her distracted with a few good ThunderPunches while Riku goes over to Sora to see what's up.]

She's back, huh?

[newhero]

[Skarmory doesn't move from her spot, but squawks at Terror threateningly with a guttural, grinding sound that could probably wake the dead pokémon all the way in Lavender Town.]

[Sora looks a bit defeated.]

Yeah... She's really mad at me, though.

[islandshore]

[GRAAAAAR, graaaar! Terror keeps roaring, even as Flare beats her down.]

Probably because you left, Sora.

[He sighs.]

Need some help dealing with her?

[No, this does not mean violence.]

[newhero]

... Yeah. If you don't mind, Riku.

[islandshore]

[Sigh. Riku slowly turns to face the jumbo bird, crossing his arms. Flare's also gonna look her way, pinning Terror down with his foot, as he snorts smoke from his nostrils. C'mon, birdie, let's not make this difficult.]

Hey, Metal Chocobo. Ever thought that maybe Sora didn't want to leave?

[newhero]

[SQUAAAAWK. he still left, metal-color-haired friend of Trainer! and I was all by myself for months!]

[islandshore]

[...Man, he shouldn't have left Psyche back in the room. He's such a useful translator!

Ah well. Riku can... probably guess what she's getting at.]

If Sora had the choice, he probably would've taken you with him. He's not the kind of guy to leave a friend hanging.

[Hopefully he's not too far off the mark!]

[newhero]

[Sora can't help but duck his head at that, just a smidge bashful-- but Metal Chocobo leans her head forward, watching him critically, chirping. you would have, Trainer?]

[... and after a moment, he pipes up.]

Riku's right-- I would have taken all of you with me if I could have.

[islandshore]

See? So there's no reason to treat him like trash.

[...Maybe a bit harsh of a description, but still.]

[newhero]

[SQUAAAAWK I'm not treating him like trash! I'm just punishing him!]

[islandshore]

[Too bad Riku doesn't understand that, nope.]

Okay, maybe that's a little harsh, but my point still stands.

[newhero]

[I'm not budging until I get an apology from Trainer, metal-colored-hair friend of Trainer.]

[islandshore]

[In that case... Flare is gonna nudge Sora and snort, pointing up at the big ol' birdy.]

[newhero]

... What?

[islandshore]

[GRUNT.

He gives Sora a very, very serious look, placing a hand on his hip.]

[newhero]

... I don't understand.
