Perennial Blossom 2.2 [video]

[The camera takes a moment to focus, but once it clears a soaked Misaki can be seen huddled on one of the couches at the Cherrygrove City Pokemon Center. He's surrounded by Pokemon--Sunkern and a freshly caught Krabby, but also a Xatu and Absol. Sunkern and the Absol seem to be vying over the perfect spot in Misaki's lap, but the other two seem

I'm glad you got to Cherrygrove before this rain, Misaki.

[usaginouke]

Yeah. It's been kinda crazy out there lately. I'll need to get an--[Misaki stops.]

Eh, it's raining all the way up in Goldenrod too?

[miniworth]

It is. My Wooper usually loves this weather, but even she's.. acting strange.

[usaginouke]

Yeah. I was able to catch my Krabby easily because he was so worked up. N-not that I didn't try my best, but it was odd behavior for a wild Pokemon. He was pretty far up on the beach, right up to the edge of Cherrygrove City limits.

He seems better now that he's inside the Pokemon Center, but something is still a little off.

[miniworth]

Like back in October. The Pokémon were acting strangely then, too. [ Misaki is one of the only people left from then who Miles spoke to before and after the missingno. fiasco. Merlin.. Merlin he'd only met following that.

He shakes his head. ] I wonder if it isn't an accident..

[usaginouke]

Oh, dear god... [Misaki hopes that isn't going to be the case this time around. He remembers what kind of hell that turned into, though it did bring him closer to Miles than he had ever been before.]

Not an accident? You mean like... someone else is causing this?

[miniworth]

I can't say for sure, but if Team Rocket could be blamed for this incident, the Radio Tower that was attacked could have something to do with it.

Our worlds are similar, so I think the science there is similar to the one in mine - there are some sounds that can only be heard by some animals, and sound travels very fast in water. [ Think think think-- ] If it's Team Rocket.. they could be planning something.

[usaginouke]

Team Rocket... They must have attacked the Radio Tower when I was away. [Misaki bites his bottom lip.]

That's actually a really interesting theory. Hmm... I wish there was some way we could test it. [Misaki looks down at his fretting Krabby, patting at its shell gently.] This little guy is really distressed. If they're really doing something bad...

[miniworth]

They did; I found out through someone who was there.

[ He.. sighs. ] Hopefully, it will end soon.

[usaginouke]

Someone who was there?

Yeah. I hope so too.

Whatever is going on, you stay safe, okay Miles-kun?

[miniworth]

Yes... [ He shrugs. ] I won't do anything stupid without good reason, Misaki.

[usaginouke]

O-oh, I didn't mean to imply... I mean, I'm just concerned.

[miniworth]

[ He shakes his head. ] I won't.. I'm not going to do anything dangerous. It would put other people in danger..

[usaginouke]

Mn. [Misaki smiles sadly.] Well, sometimes you can't help it if you land in trouble. But it does remind you who cares about you... and others about how they treasure you.

[2/2]

[usaginouke]

.... ehk! I mean... that was kinda... sorry, that was strange to say.

[Since he's still fairly new to this place again, he still feels fairly nostalgic.]

[miniworth]

I have.. people I want to be strong for now. [ A little boy, his best friend, who he realized was so important tohim. ] I can't do that if i'm not here.
