route29 ☂ 4th spell ☂ audio [backdated to 7-11]

[There's no video on this call- but there is a nice, abrupt question across the network.]

If somebody just up and disappears here - no word or reason - and leaves one of their monsters behind, that means this place pulled them out.

Right?

Oh, that might be inconvenient...

[ Haruka has been around long enough here to know that not everyone comes from a rose-colored world like hers. Some people are legit brought to this place at times so inconvenient it makes her sad to just think about it. ]

But it makes you want to have a more fulfilling time while we're here! At least for me!

[A pause, then a sigh. If she's that determined to waste her time...]

Fine. Where do you intend to start your search, then? The search in Johto has already been exhausted, as far as I'm aware.

-so you know how to look for them? Are you looking with others?

[Because so far she's run into namely nah-sayers, and if he can name somebody-]

-then I'll figure out where people haven't looked. If this place is that big, there must be spots no one's looked!

I'm not looking to enjoy my time here!

...it's one thing, if one of my friends is here, too, but if people can pop up and disappear on you out of nowhere, here, I just want out.

In Ilex Forest and the caves, most likely. But searching those places won't be as easy as you think; finding an exit if you get lost is hard enough, forget searching for what may as well be the size of a pebble.

... Hikaru? You mean Hikaru Shidou?

-you know Hikaru?

-I've had to get through a forest like that before. This time I'll prepare before I go looking.

Train my team and buy supplies.

Yeah. We talked once...

I understand! It can get very, very frustrating. I would be very upset if that happened to me too! My friends mean everything to me. I'm glad they mean teh world to you too!

Letting someone know where you're going may also be a smart thing to do. If you run out of supplies but end up lost, they could at least go get you out.

[Or something. Because it's no fun running out of food when you're so deep in the forest you can't tell up from down anymore.]

Well, she's gone now.

She won't answer her phone, and left this Cyndaquil here...

[...well, that doesn't exactly cheer her up, but the understanding quiets her for a beat.]

Do you have any of yours here with you?

-you think someone would do that?

[She doesn't doubt, exactly, but picturing someone managing to send her help in the middle of "nowhere"?]

I would just search with somebody, if I could find someone who'd stick with it.

... I see. [This is the first time of someone he knew leaving. It's as sad as he thought, even if they didn't talk that much.] I'm sorry.

They might, if they stood to gain something from it or considered you a friend.

[He'd meant it more along the lines of someone going in after her, but that works too.]

It might be better to wait for cooler weather before starting. Passing out due to the heat won't solve anything, either.

I'm looking by myself right now. I lost track who else is looking.

[Johto made him complacent and wary. It's so easy for a friend or ally to disappear the next day. On the other hand, doing it by himself means his notes and information won't get out.]

...Sorry.

-well that's fine with me! My team needs to be stronger if I'm going to get anywhere.

[Besides, maybe she'll find who might want to come along, by the time she's ready.]

...thank you.

[And now- she doesn't know what. She didn't reach out with an idea of what to do, if her fear was right...]

I guess I'll just have to look after this Pokemon of hers.

-don't apologize for anything. You're actually trying.

[And she hopes getting somewhere, but she couldn't guess. Speaking of-]

You could at least mention where you've checked, though. Then other people won't waste time trying the same thing.

I'm sure she'll appreciate it... especially if, or when, she returns she'll be glad to know you've taken good care of it.

I'm very lucky to have some here with me, yes.

[ A beat. ]

I can be your friend, if you'd like!

-she will, and I'm not going to start thinking she's gone for good.

[For one thing it does some screwy things to her motivation!]

If she doesn't show up here, I'll just pass on the fact when I go back.

If you remember anything when you go back.
