[Video; Action for Saffron City]

[Judging from Athrun's surroundings, he seems to be seated somewhere in the Pokémon Center. Everything looks clean, and there's power.]

Well...if nothing else, I suppose it's good that the Poison-types are gone. Though I can't say I enjoy this weather any more than them. Does anybody have any kind of idea what's causing this weather? This doesn't seem right. At all.

But more importantly, does anybody know what caused the Poison-type outbreak? There's no way that could have been natural. They appeared and disappeared way too quickly for that. But I haven't been able to find any kind of source, and Saffron City is just too big for a thorough search.

This has been a strange week altogether...I just hope it ends soon.

I've been tryin' to figure it out, but there's not a lotta leads to go on. Startin' to seem like a hopeless case.

That sounds like a lot of things here. But I'm not ready to give up just yet.

Let me know if ya find anything we can go off of. I was a detective back in my world. If we've got leads, we've got a case.

That makes things more convenient. Thanks for the help.

Don't mention it. I'll do what I can with what I can find. So far, it's not much. But it could turn into somethin'.

((ooc; sorry for the lateness, I swore I already replied to this ^^;))

Xion said there was a device she found in Goldenrod. She didn't get a good look at it, but when her Pokemon destroyed it, the outbreak stopped and turned back into regular trash. That was probably the cause of it.

Do you know how badly it was destroyed? If Shinn or myself could take a look at it, we might be able to figure out how it did what it did.

She didn't say. But considering it was her Garchomp that destroyed it, I don't think you'll have much left to look at.

[Athrun lets out an audible "damn."]

What about the other cities? Has anybody found similar devices there that you know of?

Not that I know of. I haven't heard of any other cities where the attacks stopped, so that may have been the only device that got taken out.

I see. Then I'll keep an ear on the network. If I hear anything, I'll be sure to address it.

Just don't draw attention to yourself, alright? The last thing we need is Team Rocket finding out we know for sure it was them behind the attacks.

I know. I'll be careful.

[ Miki doesn't disturb him during his calls with the network, sitting off to the side in the PokeCentre with a newborn Cleffa in her lap. ]

Miki wonders what is going to happen to all of that gross trash... Will the beaches be ruined because of this?

Huh?

[Athrun looks over.]

We're not even near the sea. The nearest beach is south of here, in Vermilion City.

Yes, but there are plenty of beaches though, right? This wasn't the only place to end up being trashed according to the network, so Miki is wondering what the permanent effects will be.

Goldenrod City is safe -- I already heard as much from a trustworthy source. I don't think the swarms reached Cherrygrove City or Cianwood City, either.

[That only leaves Olivine City. He's still waiting for news on how they fared, so he kept quiet about it.]

This network thing makes it easier to communicate with others, doesn't it? Miki's grateful for it... Um, but what should Miki do in the meantime?

Uh...

[Athrun's mind races for a few moments. He's only really able to think of one thing.]

How about we talk? There's still plenty we can learn about each other.

Talk?

[ Well, Miki does enjoy talking with her friends. ]

Alright, Miki can do that!

[Athrun's cool with this. If it keeps her mind busy...]

Anything in particular you want to know? Where I come from, for example?

Why would Miki want to know that? No, Miki wants to know your blood type. You can tell a lot about a person if you know that!

Oh and your astrological sign too.

[That nets a confused look.]

...Uh.

[Insert blood type here since he lacks an official one. Probably AB+ due to being a Coordinator.]

And I'm a Scorpio. But why would you want to know those?

Miki was told that it helps determine the kind of person you are, but Miki doesn't know how to tell any of that. So it was a waste of time...

Um.

What would you like to talk about?

[Athrun is valiantly resisting the overwhelming urge to facepalm.]

Uh.

...

I have an idea. What if I told you that I was born and raised in space?

[ Mind your manners, Athrun-koooon. ]

Whaaaat? No way! Miki doesn't think that's possible!

It is in my world. We've sent up space colonies, and we've also set up colonies on the moon.

All the way on the moon? [ She'll look up at the ceiling as though she's trying to picture buildings on the moon. ] Even shopping centers?

[That brings to mind the last time he visited the mall in Copernicus City. It wasn't a good memory.]

Well...yes. They've got full communities in space.

Do they wear funny clothes on the moon? How do they keep up with the style that's happening on Earth?

Uh...news travels plenty fast, even through space. Politics, sports, fashion...it's pretty much up-to-date wherever you go.
