[6th Scene] [Video]

[There's a moment where things are silent except for the singing hum of a Vibrava's wings; half of his team's visible - Bahamut hovering behind flickering in and out of view, Karma in his arms - looking like a halfway respectable fish instead of the saddest zombie-fish ever, while Iago the Arbok has his head resting on Kuja's shoulder like an

Zidane is-

[Cecil can't even finish his sentence before he drops the Pokégear. Only his shoes can be seen, now.]

...Thank you for telling us.

[silver_lucifer]

.... I'm sorry. [Of course Zidane had earned friends here - and there were people that knew him from the 'Cycle'...it was Zidane.]

It was the least I could do. [There may not be many people he was attached to enough to care about, but Zidane wouldn't have wanted the people he knew left in the dark.]

[After a minute, a hand finally comes down to pick up the Gear. The image shakes slightly.]

Still, there are those who cannot... I'll keep an eye out. Should I find any of his Pokémon, you'll be the first to know.

[Somehow, he's actually almost surprised there aren't more people responding.]

...Thank you. It is much appreciated.

[By the time Cecil's face is shown again, he's managed a shaky smile.]

Hopefully neither of us will have to search very long. They tend to find friends of their old trainers quickly.

[Kuja nods.] Ritz is keeping an eye out as well; Azalea's a small town, so unless they'd wandered into the woods, there's not a lot of ground to cover here - and I can't see that they'd have reason to roam there.

[Of course, it has already been a few days with no sign of them...]

[puppet_paladin]

They might have decided to visit the Slowpoke Well, though I doubt it. It's not particularly interesting, even at the best of times.

[And losing your trainer is far from the best.]

We'll have to keep an eye out there as well - it's one of the cleanest places with water that's big enough for Andre, so we've been there fairly frequently.

[...Damnit, now he's worrying about the pokémon. Curse you, being more used to being attached to critters than people.] We're going to be here a few days more; hopefully even if they don't find their way to us, someone will find them.

[puppet_paladin]

...If it's familiar, they might be more likely to be found there, yes. They could find it comforting.

You could try posting a list of their species near the Pokémon Center. This way, even trainers who do not know him could recognize them easily.

[He nods; even if they're moving on, it might be useful - he almost wishes he were more prone to keeping photos, although if he can get paper and a pen, he can do just as well.]

I will - ...thank you.

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

You're welcome. I... hope you'll have luck with them.

[Because saying 'I hope he'll come back quickly' would be too optimistic.]
