[As the snow begins coming down, Athrun manages to make his way into Goldenrod City. It's been over a month since he was last here, but he still remembers perfectly clearly how to get to the Pokémon Center. Thus, he makes a beeline straight for the Pokémon Center and hands over his Pokémon. Most of Athrun's Pokémon just need to be quickly

Oh, Athrun, what happened?

[very worried Estelle is very worried. Also probably headed to Goldenrod too.]

[shieldofjustice]

...Pidgeot collapsed on my way here. A combination of overexertion and the cold got to him.

[fullmoonstory]

That's awful. [but a good reason not to let Raven out in this weather] Did they tell you anything yet?

[shieldofjustice]

Not yet. They're tending to him right now, so I'm stuck here, waiting for the results.

[Yayoi comes back from the inn, somehow balancing two plates of food. All of the above are covered in a bit of snow. The first thing out of her mouth, though:] H-How is he...?

[Action]

[shieldofjustice]

[Athrun takes one of the plates and sets it on his lap.]

I haven't heard from the nurses yet. He's still in intensive care.

[10yen_idol]

[Yayoi sits down next to him, poking at her food a little.] I-I'm sure he'll be okay! I mean, the nurses here take really good care of Pokemon, and...

[shieldofjustice]

...Yeah. All we can do now is sit here and put our faith in the medical practices here.

[ there's the sound of a door opening from down the hall and a softer murmur - someone's encouraging Himiko to stay there for a minute - before Rise comes trotting into sight. ]

I thought I heard you!

[action]

[shieldofjustice]

Yeah. I made it into town.

[restardom]

[ HUG TIME. ]

[shieldofjustice]

[This time, Athrun gladly accepts the hug and returns it.]
