Eighty-Second Launch

[Video]

[Athrun looks pretty distraught on the feed. He seems to be indoors, as well. He's been watching the news, so he knows about the Pokémon Centers in Goldenrod, Ecruteak, and Saffron getting destroyed.]

I don't know if everyone's heard, but there's been a series of attacks in three cities. It's all over the news.

Something needs to be done. I don't want to see any more attacks than those that have already happened. I'm going to start patrolling the city. Anyone else in Vermilion interested in helping can let me know; I'll take all the help I can get.

[Video; PGC filter]

Do we have any idea what's going on here? Is it the usual, or someone else?

[Video; Filtered to Miki]

Miki, where are you? We need to talk.

Huh, are you looking for Miki? [ Obviously he must be if he's asking where she's at. ] Miki is near the beach. It's pretty empty right now, so Miki was soaking up the sun.

[ Or she had been until all of the messages started to show up on the PokeGear. She'll try to hide her concern though for the time being. ]

I am. Stay where you are; I'll meet you there.

Alright, Miki will wait. [ Look she's almost passive for once. ] You're not going to make Miki walk through trash again, are you?

...Huh?

Oh! Oh, no. No, not gonna happen. That was, er, a one-time deal. Anyway, I'll be right down.

[With that, he'll end the feed, and get down to the beach a few minutes later. He makes a beeline for Miki.

...Pun not intended.]

[ When he does show up, Miki's already packed up most of her things, but she is dressed appropriately for the beach. Normally a girl would cover herself up when a boy approaches, but Miki?

Nope. Not having any of that. ]

Athrun-kun! [ Waving for his attention. ] Did you use a Pokemon to get here? Miki wasn't expecting you for another ten minutes.

action; all of my intentional puns are corny.

[Lightning is soot-stained and scraped when she finally gets to her gear; someone was in Goldenrod on the way to pick someone up, but at least she wasn't in the middle of it.]

No sign of it being Team Rocket, and nobody's come forward saying they did this yet. [frown.] No sign of what caused it, either.

...Damn. Well, I don't think these were accidents. Three Centers in three different cities going up at the same time is too much a coincidence.

What about you? Are you all right?

Around here? Not much is actually accidental. [Especially something this big. No, it's deliberate. Question is, who'd stand to gain from this? Even Team Rocket needs to heal their teams at some point.]

I'm fine. I was leaving Goldenrod when the Centers blew, but I went back to see what had happened.

[And help, a little. But summer clothing does not make for avoiding scrapes. Ah, well. Better than getting pinned under a tree again!]

Hopefully we can get some people to investigate the sites once things settle down a bit more. If we can figure out how they went up, we can get a better idea of who was responsible.

Oh, I see. Good to hear that you're all right, at least. It's too bad we can't say the same about Shinn.

We might be able to, but it's going to take a while. It's a real mess up here.

[Giant mess is giant. And in triplicate. Also, that was a snort. Shinn is something else right now...]

He's better off where he is right now. If he was still in the city he'd just get into more trouble.

.. Uu-.. [ Maria's still pouting a little - or, well, just generally looking down. ]

Athrun.. something bad's going on, right?

...I'm afraid so. I'm doing everything I can to make sure nothing else happens.

Athrun's going to stop the bad people? .. But.. is Athrun really strong enough to do that all on his own?

I won't be on my own. There are people I trust to band together with me.

I'll help! Whoever did this is gonna pay!

Are you in Vermilion City?

No. Outside New Bark Town.

...Did you just arrive in this world?

I haven't seen or heard anything so far, but I can't think of any other groups that've employed bombs and terrorism so far.

This is just...awful.

Yeah...I know. If they're as guilty as I think they are, they've given us all the more reason why we need to stop them.

[He nods]

They're definitely escalating things, which can only mean they don't have much fear of reprisal from anyone here.

So far, Riku and I haven't turned up a base when we were in Kanto. They've gotten better at laying low between attacks.

Neither have I...and it's frustrating. It's like they get more competent with each plot.

I was afraid of that. I just hope we can get some people in to investigate ground zero.

I'll see if I can find anything of interest here.
