.005 | video/action for Ilex Forest | 4th Wall

[in_praetego]

Those crystals look like they're coming up in most of the major cities as far as what I'm seeing on the network so far.

[ He isn't in town yet. Chilling in Ilex Forest with his Houndoom by his side. ]

Does anyone know which cities in particular are being hit or does every city seem to be coming up with them? I'd like to know if anyone's managed to take a closer look at--

[ But he's interrupted by the rustling in the bushes. His houndoom reacts first, getting up and trotting over to wherever the rustling was coming from. ]

Shiva?

[ The Gear is set down on its side and over in the corner of the feed, you can barely see his Houndoom coming out of the bushses with an Espurr in its mouth. Immediately, his trainer knows what those things are. He's seen them all over the network. ]

...Shiva, put that pokemon down.

[ And the espurr looks up at Shiva. When it does, you can swear that its ears may be flicking ever so slightly. ]

[ There's a pause as he motions his Houndoom to follow after him. ]

We're close enough to the exit. Would you rather meet up in Azalea instead?

That would be easier than going through all the trees, wouldn't it? That sounds good, then. Like I said, I'll call you again when I start getting near enough.

Right.

[ And a nod to Shiva to follow. ]

We'll wait for you in Azalea!

Alright then. See you until then!

[Time flying really does seem to go by quickly, because it only takes an hour for Garry to send a message saying he's at the forest, and then another and a half to say he's near Azalea. Honestly, it surprises him. Shouldn't it take longer...?]

[Either way, soon enough there's a Pidgeot and its rider landing down in Azalea. Just them- Ib insisted on staying however much Garry worried about her.]

[ He'll come with a Happiny in his arms, right out of the Pokemon center. ]

Anything you need before we leave?

action;

[artificialrose]

No, I'm fine. Although... do you have a spare Potion I could use?

[Garry adjusts his backpack until it's in front of him, and opens it up to show a bruised up little Torchic.]

We ended up running into this little thing on the way here. I guess the local Pokemon are getting just as turned around as everything else.

action;

[in_praetego]

Oh! Sure!

[ Fishing in his pack for a potion before handing it over. ]

Will the potion be enough or should we take it to the pokemon center?

action;

[artificialrose]

I think that should be fine.

[Still, he uses it first on the little firebird Pokemon, watching for the results before he gives a relieved nod at the Torchic recovers.]

Yeah, she looks much better now! Thank you, I'll be sure to pay you back when we get to Goldenrod. Hold on... [He pulls out a Pokeball and releases an Altaria.] Is this good for you?

action;

[in_praetego]

[ There's a sigh of relief from that. At least the torchic looks okay. ]

No problem.

[ A beat though, looking at the Altaria. ]

You mean as payment?

action;

[artificialrose]

[The Altaria just comes a bit closer to lay its head on Yukio's chest and coo. Will you give it attention? Then it is perfectly fine with this.]

[Garry does not share his Pokemon's easygoing nature.]

Ah, no! I mean to ride to Goldenrod!
