[ 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 ;; ]

You can work, wander, breed Pokémon, or battle gyms.

... I suppose in such a peaceful place like this, those are the common options.

Peaceful, for the most part.

For the most part?

Do you know how to define what is truly good or peaceful?

Is there ever such a thing?

... People realize the existence of peace and goodness because they know what turmoil is. You wouldn't really understand what it means to have light if you never realized it was dark, either.

This world is filled with strange creatures that can hurt people--badly, too. [ He shows his bandaged hand. ] But it's peaceful because there are worse things.

[ VERY, VERY ROUNDABOUT WAY OF SAYING THAT hi, there are bad people here. ]

Very good choice of words, young man. [A smile.] I was right in believing you are interesting.

... Though I take it you've also had personal experience with these people in the dark.

Not directly, but I've had some acquaintances harmed by a past member of the organization.

Is it all right to ask what happened to them?

Kidnapped and tortured.

[...] Something that cruel has occurred here?

What happened to the culprit?

He was detained, then escaped from prison. He's left the world now.

... I suppose that's for the best. How long was he detained for?

I can't say. It wasn't that long.

Pity then, if it wasn't for long. That kind of crime shouldn't be taken so lightly, after all.

The law enforcement here isn't very active.

So I've noticed. I haven't seen one soldier since I arrived in this city. Who guards it?

There is a police force here.

... Do they also patrol?

I think so.

Perhaps I have not been observing enough then. I don't recall any sort of it.

You don't see them around that often, no.

Such a careless place this is, especially knowing how some people can be.

You could say that again.
