[Hol can be seen outside his house, pretending that nothing it happening at all. In fact, the man is casually smoking a cigarette. While it may appear he's as calm as ever, he's in fact quite terrified. He's not about to go back inside, at least not until he's got company.]

[Strangely enough, company arrives from inside his own home--a brunette woman steps outside to get some air, obviously twitchy. She catches sight of Hol and gives a weak wave.]

I... didn't realize there was a non-drone parent here...

[He jumped at the voice and turned to see who it was, only to see someone he hadn't seen at all before.]

Hey! Ya shouldn't be--

Ya should be careful. ... and just who're you?

[glowing_science]

I'm Ema. Ema Skye.

I came over a little while ago to help Crowe build a bunker downstairs. I was in the basement when... when the hazmat men got him.

[emperor_cowboy]

Ema Skye. ... you were downstairs?? ... you alright? Sorry I wasn't around to try and help the guy.

Not my place in saying, but I think ya'd best be off to somewhere safe.

[Ash can be seen coming home from the Post Office. He's holding a small red and white ball. A ball which cost him several precious memories to obtain...]

... I can finally do something. I guess a Pokémon Trainer really isn't much without his Pokémon after all...

[After being startled to their new guest, Hol spots a familiar figure heading this way... oh it's the kid! ... The not dead one.]

Hey! Ya shouldn't brood so much there, kid.

[10_year_old_kid]

I guess... At least I didn't lose an arm or something...

[emperor_cowboy]

... What's the matter, kid?
