[ when Suzaku emerged from Ilex Forest on the ninth he was very relieved and had told his worried team that they'd get to the city in no time and everything would be just fine. but by the afternoon of the tenth, it's clear that's not going to be the case. They've made decent progress, but it's soon dwindled down to Suzaku being half-carried by his own Lucario and Togetic.
the entire team is exhausted from the trek through the forest but Suzaku is worst off, having been stung by something while his back was turned. he hadn't thought to bring medicine for himself, and although he could wave off the attack at the time, it's no laughing matter now.
delirious with fever from the poison, he finally collapses right in the middle of Route 34, breathing shallowly against his Skitty, who is trying to make herself useful as a pillow. Lance the Lucario and Hope the Togetic are heading up the way to look for help, though. happy nineteenth birthday, Suzaku??? 8( ]
[ and later that night, a voice recording. he doesn't sound too good, but hey, at least he's conscious. ]
Is there such a thing as a person who... walks Pokemon? Or takes them for jogs, I guess. They really need their morning workout...
