[6th Scene] [Video]

[silver_lucifer]

[There's a moment where things are silent except for the singing hum of a Vibrava's wings; half of his team's visible - Bahamut hovering behind flickering in and out of view, Karma in his arms - looking like a halfway respectable fish instead of the saddest zombie-fish ever, while Iago the Arbok has his head resting on Kuja's shoulder like an oversized scaly dog. He's still not fond of large broadcasts, particularly when he's honestly a bit upset, but he knows Zidane had to know other people in Johto - and Zidane is still the best exception to his uneven relationship with things like "responsibility" and "morals".]


If anyone in Johto knew my brother, Zidane Tribal -

He's been sent home; there's no sign of his pokémon that I've seen, but if anyone finds them, I would appreciate word that they're alright. [And he can't even say he knows whether or not Zidane is alright, considering what he understands so far of this 'Cycle of Conflict'.]

[Already uncomfortable with being this public with it, there's another pause before the cuts off the feed.]

Zidane is-

[Cecil can't even finish his sentence before he drops the Pokégear. Only his shoes can be seen, now.]

...Thank you for telling us.

It was the least I could do. []

[After a minute, a hand finally comes down to pick up the Gear. The image shakes slightly.]

Still, there are those who cannot... I'll keep an eye out. Should I find any of his Pokémon, you'll be the first to know.

...Thank you. It is much appreciated.

[By the time Cecil's face is shown again, he's managed a shaky smile.]

Hopefully neither of us will have to search very long. They tend to find friends of their old trainers quickly.

[] Ritz is keeping an eye out as well; Azalea's a small town, so unless they'd wandered into the woods, there's not a lot of ground to cover here - and I can't see that they'd have reason to roam there.

They might have decided to visit the Slowpoke Well, though I doubt it. It's not particularly interesting, even at the best of times.

[And losing your trainer is far from the best.]

We'll have to keep an eye out there as well - it's one of the cleanest places with water that's big enough for Andre, so we've been there fairly frequently.

[] We're going to be here a few days more; hopefully even if they don't find their way to us, someone will find them.

...If it's familiar, they might be more likely to be found there, yes. They could find it comforting.

You could try posting a list of their species near the Pokémon Center. This way, even trainers who do not know him could recognize them easily.

I will - ...thank you.

[paladinlost]

You're welcome. I... hope you'll have luck with them.

[Because saying 'I hope he'll come back quickly' would be too optimistic.]
