Forgive my weakness and forgive my sins

...eat no good for... ...ken, I can...

[The sound is terrible, words and static jumbled together between patches of silence. The image is not much better, with Cecil's shape being barely discernable at best. Something must have happened to that pokégear, but what?]

Cinn... ...types everywhere, but...

[The shape that is probably Cecil moves suddenly, as if it's turning around-]

...urf! Dragon...

[At that moment, the feed is cut.]


((ooc: Cecil is lost, his gear is in a pretty bad shape, and he's finding out that visiting Cinnabar Volcano with his weaker Pokémon was not a very good idea. Replies will come several hours later and discussions will be kept short IC.))

[My, what is this? A sleeping bag is spread out near a few tall rocks, with a campfire to its left. Multiple articles of clothing are strewn around, along with a few random objects. Why, it looks like a makeshift camp deep within a cave!

...Actually, it looks more like a curious Sandshrew poking at the Pokégear, but the camp is there in the background. And said Sandshrew doesn't even stay there very long, as it suddenly gets smacked in the head by a pokéball.]

...It seems something good came out of this unexpected teleportation after all.

[Yet he doesn't say it with much energy. You'd think his first capture in over a year would be a reason to celebrate.]

I have a question for those who were previously familiar with Kanto. From Mt. Moon, should I aim for Pewter or for Cerulean? I'd rather not find myself spending a week outside during a snowstorm.

[Even though he did that deliberately last year. Hypocrite.]
