The weather could be sunnier...

[action]

[justicepuns]

Yeah, but I'll take clouds over rain.

[action]

[yattagarasu]

Isn't it a little weird, though? That it hasn't rained yet, I mean! It's like they're holding out on us!

[action]

[justicepuns]

Who's holding out on us?

[Looks who's (kind of) recovering from that fall of a ledge! Miles looks pretty groggy as he stares outside at the gray cloudy sky. Totally nice weather, and the coldness (it was definitely freezing compared to Los Angeles in March) didn't do much to allieve his headache.

Rubbing his eyes, he almost sounds a bit whiny as he speaks to Apollo.]

It's so warm in here, Mr. Apollo. Must we leave?

[action]

[justicepuns]

[Apollo looks up from rifling through his bag.]

If the seasons here are anything like they are back home, the sooner we leave, the better. It's only going to get colder.

How are you feeling? Does your head still hurt?

[action]

[miniworth]

That's true... [Miles had kind of wanted to wait for that strange-but-nice lawyer he'd befriended earlier via Pokégear (Kristoph is slowly plotting against Phoenix! - again), but if Apollo insisted... he didn't really want to trouble his companions anymore, either.

Miles lifts his hand and rubs the back of his head gingerly. The bump at the back of his head was slowly going away, but it still hurt if he touched it. Moving his head too suddenly hurt as well, and the cut on his face and the bruises on his back didn't help him much, either. He grimaces.]

It's getting better. I'm sorry for causing so much. Trouble.

[If Miles suggested it, Apollo would probably die a little inside.

Speaking of Apollo, he seems to have stopped his restless movements. For now.]

It's not like you meant to fall off a ledge.

[...] Do you need more aspirin?

[And guess who was out buying supplies when he gets Apollo's call.

...and, boy, does that sound...ominous.]

What's up, Apollo?

[audio]

[justicepuns]

I should talk to you in person. Where are you?

[audio]

[cheapblusuits]

[...yeah, this can't be good. He hesitates a bit before replying;] The Pokemon Mart. Do you want to meet me outside?

[audio/action]

[justicepuns]

Yeah. I'll be there in a minute.

[He'll come walking up to the PokeMart not much later, looking unhappy and uncomfortable.]

Hey. Sorry to bother you like this.

[video ; private ; ok, bb. I might be asleep by then, though]

[justicepuns]

[Apollo, for his part, is not looking too hot. He's definitely stressed.]

...I wish it was just a dream.

[video ; private]

[justicepuns]

We're all still together over here. We'll head for Violet as soon as everyone's well again.

...Prosecutor Gavin is heading for New Bark, though. I tried to convince him not to but...

[Now that he's pretty much over his cold, Larry's been out in the next route, having a little training session. He blinks at PokéGear when Apollo's message gets to him.]

Nice weather. Riiiight.

[He wonders what the rush is, but then again, he wouldn't mind heading back to Violet anyway. He has a gym leader to take down!]

I'm ready whenever, I guess.

[audio]

[justicepuns]

Alright. I think Miles might need a little more rest, but hopefully we can leave soon.

[In a hurry? Never!]
