[Is that a Zephyr Badge, glinting from within Cecil's white-knuckled grip? Yes it is! But for some reason, Cecil looks extremely unhappy for a guy who just won a badge. Even his Pokémon look tired but uneasy. What could be the cause of that?]

Tidus. Cloud. If you can hear this, answer me. This isn't funny anymore.

[...Ah, yes, that would do the trick.]

[Biz is making it in return! ... with his tail!]

Maybe we should start paying attention. A pattern has to show up eventually, right?

[video]

[paladinlost]

[How impressive! Rosie claps delightedly.]

There must be one. But if it takes place over, say, a year, it will be difficult to observe.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[Biz winks flirtatiously]

It's worth a try though, right?

[video]

[paladinlost]

[Rosie blows a kiss back.]

It always is, especially if it means understanding why people arrive and why they leave.

[bakaitoukid]

[the Aipom reaches out to catch it and hold it close to his chest in a sweet gesture of luuuurve]

If no one else is gonna give it a shot, then I will.

[video]

[paladinlost]

[Which makes her beam with the force of a thousand suns!]

The main problem will be knowing the exact date of the disappearances. Some people are loners by nature, and it can take a while before anyone notices.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[beaming is good!]

There are plenty of people who have disappeared who aren't loners, though. We could star there.

[video]

[paladinlost]

[She grabs Cecil's bag and points at it. I wonder what she could mean?]

We'd need to taken into account the people who came back and whether or not they have kept their memories, too.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[Biz's ears twitch. Does she have something for him?]

Yeah. And any other obvious factors-- OI!

[Biz leaps off of Kaito's head and streaks down the street toward the Violet City gym. MUST FIND ROSE]

[video]

[paladinlost]

[Maaaaayyyyybeeee~? Cecil turns to look at her for a few seconds.]

Ah, yes, she did finish that a while ago.

[video --> Action]

[bakaitoukid]

[well Kaito's giving chase, and it isn't long before both of the show up near the gym]

Geez--! I've never seen you run so fast!

[Action]

[paladinlost]

[Rosie waves madly, before reaching into the bag and taking out a sheet of paper kept closed with a ribbon.]

That must have been a world record. Just how far did you run?

[Action]

[bakaitoukid]

[sucks in a deep breath and sighs] From across town. I guess he really wanted to see her.

[Biz approaches Rosie and slicks back his hair to look ~*presentable*~, eying the paper eagerly]

[Action]

[paladinlost]

Young love is such a beautiful feeling. It makes you runs across town without feeling tired, stand outside for hours in the rain, climb monster-filled towers to trade a powerful artefact...

[Rosie presents her gift proudly to Biz. Then again, she did put a lot of effort into it.]

[Action]

[bakaitoukid]

[Biz stares at the painting in awe, before he reaches out to gently take the painting from Rosie. He stares at it for a bit longer, before he dips forward to plant an Aipom kiss on her forehead.

Kaito is watching this and kinda going 'derp']

... it's almost cute.

[Action]

[paladinlost]

[Rosie blushes when Biz takes it, and blushes even more after the kiss. Biz just earned himself one hell of a hug.]

Almost? I believe they reached 'cute' quite a while ago.

[Action]

[bakaitoukid]

[Pokecuddling tiiiiime]

Pokelove... it's so poetic~

[Action]

[paladinlost]

[So much cuddling, the whole city will get cavities.]

Rather open-minded, too. I know a young man whose Banette and Ariados are quite close.

[Action]

[bakaitoukid]

I guess to them, love is love, no matter what the shape is.

[Action]

[paladinlost]

...Would that apply to Pokémon and humans, too?

[He sounds a bit disturbed by the possibility.]

[Action]

[bakaitoukid]

... er. [thinking back to Simon's Magikarp now and SHUDDERING]

[Action]

[paladinlost]

...I was going to try and research this world's history. I might as well also learn about its laws and customs, before the locals give me a heart attack with... unexpectedly strong bonds with their Pokémon.

[Action]

[bakaitoukid]

... I don't think the people here like the Pokemon that much.

[Action]

[paladinlost]

You would be surprised by the number of old laws that have not been repelled simply because everyone forgot about them, until some idiot shows up married to a chocobo.

[Action]

[bakaitoukid]

I really hope Johto isn't that weird.
