[The 'Gear comes on a most intriguing scene of Charmeleon's eye looking, perhaps, as peeved as a Charmeleon ever could look. After a moment, Louis pulls away a bit from the camera to show the area around the Ecruteak Poké Mart

[Romano had grown tired of waiting around for France and took to wandering the streets, as usual. He was nervous about the occasional bits of news over the feed, but he hardly thought it would affect him in the least. There were a lot of things he hardly believed would happen to him.
Seeing France's prone form on the ground shook him more than he cared to express. It was too similar, he thought, to another occasion, when someone else he knew fell into unconsciousness. Unaware of Marianne, Romano runs towards France as fast as his legs can carry him.]
[Marianne rears up, snarling and ready to attack, but she recognizes Romano in time. The small human that France takes care of, somewhat akin to a pup. Marianne is even a little fond of Romano, despite the boy's attitude... She supposes she can let him approach, lying back down on top of France slowly, watching Romano closely.]
[Not for the first time, Romano finds himself at a complete loss. He paces around France, once in a while glancing towards Marianne. By the time he noticed her, he was far too concerned with saving France than to give his own fears a thought. ...Perhaps he should try talking to her...]
[Marianne gives Romano look that communicates she thinks him fairly dull: she can't speak human. Even so, she uses her right forepaw to pat a place next to France's body, maintaining that insulting expression.]
[. . . As upset as he is, he gets the message loud and clear.]
Are you trying to tell me you're useless? [He almost crosses his arms, but settles for focusing on France.] Damn it, maybe you're not useless, but he certainly is right now.
[Marianne hisses slightly. France is never useless. This isn't his fault! There's something bad at work here, Marianne is sure of it. She glares angrily at Romano, trying to decide whether or not she should bite him. At that last question, she huffs and get up long enough to show that the only way she could carry France would be to drag him. She's only three feet tall standing. Lying back down over France, she nips at his sleeve, cross.]
[Romano flinches slightly, but doesn't take a step away from either of them.] D-Damn it, okay! He's not completely useless. He's done some good things. B-But look at him now! He's j-just left us...
[He's have mentioned how useless Marianne was as well, but he was feeling fairly useless himself. Romano paces for a moment, looking between Marianne and France before an idea occurs to him. He reaches for one of the pokeballs in his pack and calls out Nuvole. The big balloon pokemon drifts above their heads and gives Marianne the customary greeting.] Since Marianne can't carry him, you'll have to do it Nuvole. Will you let him do that, Marianne?
[Marianne growls and nips Romano again. France didn't leave them! He's not gone! How dare this tiny human have so little faith in her France, especially when France takes care of him most of the time! Tiny human doesn't -]
[Marianne looks up at Nuvole in slight surprise before turning angry eyes back to Romano. She bares her teeth, growling deep in the back of her throat. No! No other pokemon will touch her France. None! No one will take him away from her!]
