Private video: Utau, Hijirikawa, Riku, Tenten, Aradia, Crow, Winry

[Oh, hey. It's an actual video feed from this guy. On a more private line. That can only mean one thing, right? Too bad he doesn't look all that happy and he's looking slightly beaten up. Thanks for the final gift, Team Rocket.]

Good news. I'm out of there. [Hurray. That's great!] The bad news is... I was dropped off to an island without any of my Pokémon. [Ya... y.... please plan for his funeral.]

So uh... I might need a little help in geting out of here.

[Good thing it's not the middle of winter or anything... though how on earth will he survive who knows how long...]

A curious question. What would you do if you would be stranded on an island without any equipment to survive? I mean, there's the weekends you can't remember much about so there's quite a big chance of something like that happening to you. Have you ever thought how to get out of that situation?

[Of course, this has nothing to with real life experience. Of course not. No no.]

(ooc: with mod permission, Ren is out of the Rocket base... on Whirl Islands. Whoops.]

Ugh, don't remind me about Ice Path. That place was horrible.

[Been there, done that. Though Cecil has a point... that would really suck. Though right now he returns outside from the cave, to the ever so cheery music of route 41.]

That might be the best solution, if one finds a flying-type.

As long as the island has a cave, finding a Zubat or a Golbat would be a simple matter. Finding twenty would be a simple matter.

[Simple, and very quickly regretted.]

Wingulls are also a possibility, but they also happen to be more common in Kanto.

Having a Pokémon might help wandering into a cave... random encounters can be quite dangerous when you're on your own.

[Not that he's ever tried that and doesn't really want to. Especially not with twenty Zubats or Golbats...]

Though if nothing else helps, that's the best thing to try.

You've no need to tell me that. Exploding Geodudes are not meant to be fought with bare fists, though they could have made acceptable mobile slates in a pinch. Still, I pray no one ever becomes that desperate.

[Which means that someone will, of course.]

The people in this place can be rather adventurous so I wouldn't be surprised if someone tries it.

I do hope they'd share the results on the network, to show everyone that it is a terrible idea. Direct proof always leads to the best results.

Mm. Either it serves as a warning or everyone will just laugh at it.

I do hope no one would laugh. Mocking the situation would only make the warning less effective.

Some people are pretty... thoughtless like that. They would laugh without caring what might be better for the situation.

And when they find themselves in trouble of their own, they expect others to take them seriously.

Of course. That's, unfortunately, how people work.

...Of course, certain situations, such as being stranded on an island without any Pokémon, should be taken seriously no matter who is affected.

Oh, I'm taking that very seriously. Very.

[He'd take it seriously even if it was someone else stuck in there.]

I've no doubt about that, considering your hopefully hypothetical question.

[It had better be hypothetical.]

[Cecil, he likes you. After talking with you before, he knows you're a good guy, so let's talk seriously.]

... I wish this had been a hypothetical question.

[Have a fancy view of the Whirl Islands, the place he currently is in, before he himself comes to the view... slightly injured.]

...Damn.

[Is he saying that because the question was not hypothetical, or because of those injuries?]

Thankfully you still have your Pokégear. You have no equipment, but where are your Pokémon?

Unfortunately, the ones who brought me here have the Pokémon I had with me... as well as a few others.

But I have help coming this way, so I should be fine. I just need to survive until then.

They'll have to be recovered, then. Preferably quickly and with an acceptable amount of violence against the ones responsible. Is that help of yours using Fly or Surf?

If only it would be that easy. It'll take a lot of plans to get them back from Team Rocket.

[As if it wasn't obvious who the culprits are.]

Surf. It's not like he could Fly to this island... although maybe we can fly out of here once he gets here.

Plans can be surprisingly simple to prepare, if they are urgently needed and necessary.

[That doesn't mean they work, though.]

Would that not make finding the exact island more difficult, unless he already knows where it is?

Yeah. Though for now, I think I'm going to stay far away from those guy and regroup a little. I'm sure they're sick of my face as much as I'm sick of theirs.

I trust that he'll figure out something. He's a very talented guy.

I can understand that. Hopefully they'll not mistreat your team in the meantime.

[Because that would be bad.]

That's good to hear. How soon is he expected to reach you?

You never know what they'll do, but I hope they'll be alright.

Mmh... I'm not sure, but I think it's not going to be too long.

Good. The sooner you're out of there, the sooner you can rest and plan your next move.

Mmh. Though I do know what I'm doing once I get out. It's just the future after that that worries me a little.
