Fourth Card || Video/Action

[primaduelerina]

[ the feed isn't the steadiest; Asuka's running, sidestepping certain jagged spikes of crystals and calling out orders to three Pokémon at once. She's also cradling a blue and pink egg in one arm and looking... frustrated. ]Does anyone know how far this is extending? I've heard this is originating from some kind of ruins, but with so many of them

[And suddenly Rika is running beside her, both of her pokémon in tow and her Drifloon carefully holding a pink egg.]

I'm doing the best I can--Hope, use Ember! [Several Unown fly out of the way after being burned.]

[She can't help but smile a little.] ...It looks like that new pokémon is going to be helpful!

[action]

[primaduelerina]

[ once the glow dies down, Asuka's staring at a Mime Jr., one who looks rather determined. ] From the beginning, at that.

[action]

[complexrestart]

[She smiles and points to her Drifloon, who's still holding the egg and keeping it out of harm's way.] We may have another Mime Jr. hatching soon.

[action]

[primaduelerina]

Eh? We've got siblings?

[overthedratini]

[only really checking the network for any sign of Kay-- Maybe she got away, maybe a Rocket will be posting a random note-- But then his name comes up.]

-- I am, I wish I wasn't.

[voice]

[primaduelerina]

-- I'm sorry?

[voice]

[overthedratini]

Someone-- A friend of mine, she's been-- [... he pauses] Someone close to me has been kidnapped.

[voice]

[primaduelerina]

[ she's in the middle of calling out to her Teddiursa, but then there's a startled pause. ] Kidnapped? Are you-- [ and she refrains from asking if he's serious, because that's rhetorical. ] It can't have been by these Unown--

[There's a commotion in the background of Lupin's video too, namely the sound of his Miltank taking on a group of Unown to protect the little Drifloon beside her.]

So much for a peaceful idyllic place! I've seen warzones more calm than-- [He finally notices the bright light.]

-- huh? Asuka?

[video]

[primaduelerina]

Lupin? [ okay, so he's a womanizer, but he's not a bad guy and maybe she was a LITTLE concerned. ] Are you all right?

[video]

[misterthief]

Me? Of course I'm all right! I live for action.

What's going on with that egg? It seems to be going supernova on you.

[video]

[primaduelerina]

It's... [ and she turns the camera down, where there's a Mime Jr. blinking at the screen. ] I guess that's how they hatch.

[combat_butler]

--eh? Asuka-san? Ah, well... I'm perfectly fine!

*The fact that he is upside down in the video feed may suggest otherwise.*

[video] 1/2

[primaduelerina]

Oh, good, I--

[video]

[primaduelerina]

...

Why are you upside-down?!

[video]

[combat_butler]

Oh. Well, ah...

I just fell down, that's all.

[bufudyned]

[Mitsuru's response actually begins with her own Seel sending a group of Unown flying with an Ice Shard attack. She has her gear in one hand and all three of her five Pokemon (Seel, Butterfree, and her brand new Wooper) out fighting]

I'm fine, Tenjoin. I'm taking it you're handling the chaos well yourself?

[video]

[primaduelerina]

As well as I can, but I wish I could get further than a few feet every five minutes-- [ there's a brief sigh of impatience. ] Are you out on the route?

[video]

[bufudyned]

It's frustrating, isn't it? [a sigh] I am. I'm fending off these Unown creatures and attempting to clear the crystal.

[video]

[primaduelerina]

If you're close enough, teaming up might get us somewhere.
