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.]

...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.

If you fear further attacks, there are ways to keep you safe from even the nastier Rockets.

I'm more worried about what will happen once my fiancee gets me.

...Post-rescue kissing is usually very pleasant, as long as the post-rescue tears that too often come with it do not ruin the mood.

[Personal experience can be both a great blessing and a terrible curse.]
