011 [Video/Action for Route 34] A-Almost forgot to backdate to the 20th

[The feed turns on to faint grumbling. This couldn't be Iris' post could it? After all, Iris isn't the sort of person to grumble. But sure enough, there's some faint giggling in response to the grumbling and the camera turns from filming the ground to Iris' face. The feed isn't the best and the camera keeps shaking until Iris bends and takes the

Yeah, I heard.

[He pauses to think about his decision. He really didn't want to go back to Violet City anytime soon and he was already planning on heading to Azalea, but...this was his best friend.]

D'you mind? I mean, it sounded like you wanted to do your own thing for a while.

[usedsubstitute]

Oh Larry of course I don't mind. You're my friend. And I'm sure Shadow won't either. He's fond of grumbling but he has a big heart. It will take us a while to get to Violet anyway, even taking the shortcut. I'm sure spending a little while waiting for you won't hurt our progress too much.

[itsthebutz]

Alright, I'll head out soon then. Shouldn't take me long to catch up with Onix.

What a crazy month this has been...

[video/private]

[usedsubstitute]

I'll be looking out for you. Do be careful! The snow could be a bit treacherous.

[Iris bites her lip.] It has. But it's nearly over now. Hopefully March will be better...

Aloha Iris.. A-are you.. you alright? Stitch just arrived on Goldenrod. Hoped I would meet you.

[audio]

[usedsubstitute]

Oh hello Stitch! I'm...quite alright but I'm a friend of mine has gotten into trouble again.

Dear...well, I'm just outside of town now. I'm on Route 34. It would be lovely to see you.

[audio]

[usedsuperpower]

Another? One who fell asleep?

Stitch is [hiding from the cops] in town. Can go to you but.. might take a while.

[audio]

[usedsubstitute]

[Iris sighs.] It's another friend of mine, not the one who fell asleep before. But...that is what's happened to him. He's in a coma in Violet City.

That's quite alright. I'm willing to wait a little while. It will take me quite a time to arrive in Violet in any case.

[foolishwren]

Wh-- me?

Uh-- no, not at all! I mean, you're his friend! Of course you can come stay with him.

I'm sure his Pokemon would like the company, too... I can't... let mine out in the building, so...

[Video]

[usedsubstitute]

Oh I'm so glad! I didn't want to intrude on you, but I really do wish I could see Phoenix. It seems strange; we just spoke recently and now...

You can't let your Pokemon out? Why is that? Are they troublemakers?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Nah, nah, really-- s'not even like it's my choice, y'know? I just freaked at you because... well, I mean, I didn't want someone who was gonna POISON him again to come strolling on in... but seriously, s'not like his room is off-limits.

Just to, y'know, psycho exes. He's not allowed to have visits from his psycho exes.

[... But then at the change of topic, Heather looks a little uncomfortable.]

Well... yeah.

According to the nurses.

[Video]

[usedsubstitute]

I understand. You're a good friend to Phoenix. I certainly wouldn't want my sister and Phoenix together, especially not while he's ill.

Oh dear. That's too bad. Do you share the nurses' opinion?

[puppet_paladin]

It seems we'll barely miss each other. I left Violet two days ago.

[Video]

[usedsubstitute]

Oh dear! That's too bad. Where are you headed now?

Did all of your friends manage to get their badges?

[Video]

[puppet_paladin]

Cherrygrove. I'll keep Edward company for some time more.

I'm afraid not. They say the cold has made them lazy.

[Video]

[usedsubstitute]

How kind of you! I'm sure Edward will be glad of the extra time spent with you.

Oh dear. Well, it has warmed up a little recently. Perhaps that will help their laziness.
