[ Forward-Dated to the evening of September 15, Thursday, nearing twilight ]

[ The video turns on, and Miles looks concerned. It's just about nearing sunset in Goldenrod right now, the streetlights and store signs flickering to life, and the sky a deep red-orange overhead. He's alone. There is no sign of Ken Amada, but there is no comment on that. He just looks concerned. ]

Has anybody seen a Mareep wandering around Goldenrod? An acquaintance of mine recently departed from Johto and left me it's Pokémon Ball with Nurse Joy, but it was empty.

[ He's walking as he speaks, but he doesn't seem to notice the yellowish blob of something fluffy approaching him from behind. The camera catches the Mareep in question (and it's a very mean-looking Mareep, mind you) sneaking up to his new trainer, but Miles is not even looking at the screen. ]

... If you see him, please tell me and don't go near him. I don't think it's sa--

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee--

[ The video ends here. ]



[ Twenty minutes later. ]

[ It takes a while for the noise to fade from the screen. When the feed clears up, Miles is sitting up on a bed in the Pokémon Center with an Espeon (an Espeon! The Eevee had evolved just a few minutes ago!) on his lap. His hair is singed and there are bandages--definitely not a pretty sight. He sounds very, very tired as he speaks again. ]
  
... I found him.

[ ooc: it is late in the evening, tags might take awhile ;; ]

I-it's most probably only this one.

It's a most shocking thing to view, if I may say. [No pun intended.] Have you always had issues with him?

He belonged to a friend of mine months ago. I think he's just always been like this.

Not one to hold back even to a child, now is he?

How long are you going to be hospitalized?

[miniworth]

I'm supposed to get at least a week's amount of bedrest.

As you should.

Perhaps you can ask someone else to train your creature.

... I'd rather not be responsible for landing people in the hospital.

[He chuckles at that.] I meant people who are experienced with this sort of creature.

I guess so, but he's my Pokemon now. It's my responsibility to take care of him...

Taking care of something doesn't necessarily mean you cannot ask others to help you.

Taking care of something murderous.

Are there no others who specialize in handling such destructive pokémon then?

video;

[miniworth]

None that I know of.

How strange, especially in a world where they run rampantly about.

Most trainers are capable of taming their Pokémon, I suppose.

Perhaps you can ask a favorite from one of those gym leaders I have heard about.

...Not Miss Whitney.

Oh? Why so?

She put me in a dress the last time I saw her.

[ fskfhsdkfsdhf ] It was no laughing matter!

[Pffft.] No, of course not. Forgive me for that.

[ Grumps. ]

How, pray tell, did that happen?

My... hair was long.
