It's been a week since the collective memory loss. And,that said, six months since the last time we found ourselves in a near-identical situation.

That does raise the question of whether this will happen again another six months from now. But I guess until then we'll have plenty of time to figure out what happened May 28 through to May 30. I am

There's been one of those periods before? How... odd. {She smiles at the appearance of the Solrock.}

You know, I have one of those as well.

{Quirk of the eyebrow.} Pony... population?

Considering the situation, I'm not sure I'd consider it too odd. But it is noteworthy. How long have you been in Johto, Lieutenant?

[At that, a small smile and a nod, but he moves onto her next statement rather than commenting on the Solrock matters.]

We have our share of ponies in Johto. I take it you haven't had the pleasure to get to know them.

Hmm. Nearly.... six months?! {She sounds shocked.} I didn't think it had been so long...

{She shakes her head.} No, I haven't. I have seen the occasional post where someone - usually a young girl - uses odd terminology, but I haven't thought too much of it.

Time has a way of passing quickly when we're not paying attention.

[He says it with a small smile, and then nods in confirmation.]

That should be them, yes.

Hey, that looks just like our sun from back home!

[Video]

[blacklodged]

[He makes a small humming sound and keeps the video filming the Solrock, for the moment.] Just like?

[Video]

[mineisanevillol]

Yeah! 'Cept ours is much bigger!

[Video]

[blacklodged]

Most suns are. But I guess that only makes this one a little more special.

[gochuugoku]

At least we both remember what happened last time, aru.

[He tilts his head.]

Rock with psychic powers?

[video]

[blacklodged]

That is a comfort. It shouldn't be impossible to piece together this time as well.

[And - yes, Coop is excited about the rock with psychic powers. Despite being a little distant/distracted right now, he smiles as he once again turns to film the Solrock.]

The Pokédex lists it as a Rock/Psychic-type combination. It has shown some interesting psychic tendencies and yet it is - in essence - a rock. I never would have imagined. A sentinent, levitating rock ...

[gochuugoku]

I'm sure it will come to us eventually, aru. But for now we'll just have to deal with little bits and pieces in dreams.

[China tilts his head at the Pokemon.]

Why, it's shaped like a sun!

[blacklodged]

[Camera back on himself, Coop nods, small smile as he eyes the Solrock off-screen before looking back at China.]

And it's said to have fallen from space. They're really something, these creatures.

[And here's one of said dwindling pony population! Dash appears to have curled up in the crook of a tree branch somewhere, a young Pachirisu asleep on her stomach. She eyes the screen, looking stunned and skeptical for just a moment before she accepts things with a sigh.]

Y'know... I kinda thought so. Th-that Princess Celestia was gone and all... [She frowns and slumps a little further against the branch.] I just hope nopony else disappears... [Irony.]

[Video]

[blacklodged]

[Aw Dash. Coop regards her for a second before he nods.]

Me too.

[Then again, you never now with this place. He frowns a little though, looking at her again, recalling her - well - her true form somewhat, but it's unclear and fuzzy, so he instead opts to bring something else up. He hasn't talked to her for a while, and all. And she looks a little sad.]

How are you doing, Dash?

[Video] 1/2

[used_defog]

[She blinks at him, then gives a small, somewhat weak laugh.]
Eeeh, I'm okay... Heh, can't let anything keep me down for too long. And this was what it was like when I first showed up here, right? [Being the only pony. She scratches her head, feigning indifference.] I can handle this.

[Video]

[used_defog]

[A pause.] O-otherwise, yeah! I'm doing pretty good! I still haven't gotten this stupid place's badge, though... It's getting boring, sitting around like this all the time, heh! [Yeah, Dash, that's really convincing there.]
