Aah, it's great to see light again after so long inside a cave. But I ended up somewhere I never really expected.

I know Miyuki told me the cave let out here, but... Ah! I can show you.

[The video feed flickers to life, shaky at first before settling on a view of a city.]

[Shiraishi is relieved to hear that Chitose got out of the cave. Though Blackthorn... really, how did he manage to do that?

Shiraishi doesn't bother replying to the feed. He's coming over to where Chitose is instead as he's just gotten to the city himself. At least Chitose doesn't look too bad... even though the reality might be something else.]

You really are unpredictable. Are you alright?

[usedkamikakushi]

[The reality is something else indeed, but he's thankful for the layers he's wearing when Shiraishi approaches him.

He turns to look at Shiraishi, smiling and still... he looks quite exhausted. His movements are made with care and his skin is just a little flushed--but it's the cold. Really.]

I was even unpredictable to myself this time. [A quiet chuckle.] Ah, I'm okay. Maybe a little tired.

[flawlesspoison]

[Shiraishi examined Chitose with his eyes.]

I'm not surprised. Traveling in the cave isn't the best for sleeping. [Been there, done that.] We should get you inside the Pokémon Center... you and the Pokémon must be tired.

[usedkamikakushi]

[Chitose doesn't flinch, not even a little while he's being examined--though that he's tired is clear enough in his eyes.]

My Pokemon aren't doing too badly, but I could probably use the rest. [There's almost a laugh in his tone as he says that, he's just glad to see a familiar face.]

[restardom]

... Wait, a cave? Don't tell me you got stuck--

[voice]

[usedkamikakushi]

Ah, I woke up in Dark Cave around five days ago. But I just made it out of there, so I think I'm okay.

[voice]

[restardom]

... Um, Senri, why was that a little...

[voice]

[usedkamikakushi]

Ah...well I kind of forgot. And then I slept...

Blackthorn looks super cool! Just don't try to take on the gym leader yet. She's gonna be, like, the strongest in the region, 'cause she's supposed to be the last one you face.

But they've got tons of Dragon-types there, right? So cool!

[usedkamikakushi]

[Your brother looks mussed up and tired, but not much different from normal.]

I don't think my Pokemon could stand a chance against the last gym. [A chuckle.] Maybe I'll get a chance to watch a battle against her.

Want me to let you know if I see any dragons? [Pictures and all if he has anything to say about it.]

[followmi]

Yeah! And if you get to see her battle, record it for me, okay? I need to study her before I go up against her.

[ It's what all the best tennis teams do! ]

[usedkamikakushi]

Sure, I can do that. I'll find a good spot to record from so you don't miss anything.

[...cutest little sister yep.]
