miniworth[ The feed turns on and there is one very upset Plusle. He'd been so excited - so excited! - about returning to Goldenrod and he and Rom and everyone can have fun! But this isn't the time for that anymore, because Goldenrod is the city of sleep for Rem's trainer and his best friend.
He whines, chorused by a small group of Pokémon huddled near a quieter Arcanine. ] Pluus.
[ More sad whining as he turns where he's standing, searching for his trainer. As the camera pans, it becomes clear that the feed is from inside Goldenrod's Pokémon Center, in one of the private wards. Has anybody noticed that - boy - these kids are here a lot? Because they are, and see? There's Miles, standing by the bed. He looks like he's fussing with one of Ken's Pokémon, trying to calm it down, but it's totally not happening it seems. Eventually he settles for letting it curl on the bed as he turns to Remus and takes the camera. ]
I've already heard of a few instances of this happening across Johto. It seems to be different from the week-long comas that were common back in the winter, since he woke up soon after. Does anyone know anything about it?
... Ken is.. acting strange. [ If he could be considered acting at all. He pauses before clicking off the feed. ]
[ Private Audio to Kisa ]
... The room is on the first floor. I thought you might want to visit him.
[ Private Audio to Mitsuru ]
He's not responding at all. I'll try to take care of him - Nurse Joy as well, but she's really busy - but I'm not su--

Doing just my "best" isn't enough..

Date: 2011-06-17 04:02 am (UTC)Even...even if you can't stop blaming yourself, the most you--or any of us--can do right now is focus on how to get his spirit back.

Date: 2011-06-17 04:08 am (UTC)I hate this. I hate not being able to do anything for him.
[ Merlin gets a few seconds of the ceiling as Miles puts down his gear. He'll be able to hear the sound of a deep, heavy sigh, maybe the smallest, tired sniffle, and Miles is back again. ]
I have to take care of the Pokémon, too. If you hear anything.. will you tell me?

Date: 2011-06-17 04:13 am (UTC)Miles--[He heaves a sigh of his own.] Even if it doesn't seem like much right now, I think Ken appreciates you caring so much about him. Of all the trainers in Johto, you mean the most to him.
[He nods.] I'll be on the move most of the day, but if you need anything, just call my Gear.

Thank you, though. Miss Kujikawa, and Mr. Hanamura... I hope they're alright, too.

Date: 2011-06-17 04:41 am (UTC)Tell me if the Nurses find anything, or if Ken wakes up. [Pause] And Miles? Take care of yourself, too.

Date: 2011-06-17 04:44 am (UTC)I'll tell you.. and I'll be fine.

Date: 2011-06-17 04:51 am (UTC)It's been months. [ Does he doubt it? A little. Partially because of Merlin being busy, and partially because he and Ken are prone to just disappearing. ]
