Back here again...?

[Huey's voice is softly surprised.]

Skar!

I thought this was a dream or something, even if it is a realistic one. But I guess it mustn't be after all. Hah, getting used to walking again is going to be odd even after that little while. Hal, stop that.

But this is going to be trouble. Hey, guys! Does anyone know a faster way to

Y'lookin' for Heathah Mason?

[video]

[no_nukes_plz]

Ah... yeah, that's right. Have you heard from her lately?

[video]

[daddydothis]

[Lottie frowns]

Sorry to be th'one t'tell y'all this, but Heather got her soul taken by a Shedinja. A lotta people did, an' we're workin' on gettin' 'em all back.

[no_nukes_plz]

She... what? [He stares at the screen, wondering if he's being teased.] How can this Shedinja take souls?

[pokemondolly]

Oh, wow, you've been here before? That's two in a week!

[video]

[no_nukes_plz]

Uh, yeah. I've been here a few months and then I... went home, I think.

[video]

[pokemondolly]

I guess people do pop in and out sometimes...

[video]

[no_nukes_plz]

It's not common, but it happens. I mean, I'd never seen it before, but I've heard of it?

[soccergoggles]

Y-You're back!

[video]

[no_nukes_plz]

Ah- hi! [He remembers you!] Yeah, I seem to have gone home for a little while. I think.

[video]

[soccergoggles]

Woah-- this place can do that? Mannn that's so cool! What was it like? [his eyes widen.] Did you get to make any robots!

[video]

[no_nukes_plz]

It can! I don't know how it works though. But yes. We finished Metal Gear ZEKE. And then we had to beat it down after someone took it over, so we'd been working on repairs. It's pretty much functional now.

Before you do anything, I'd best warn you; unless you have a Pokémon with a Fire, Flying, Rock, Ghost, or Dark attack, you'll have no way to fight the Shedinja. Though, since it sounds like you have a Skarmory, I doubt that will be a problem. Just make sure not to look at their backs, and you'll be fine.

[If you do... well, your son did, and he's currently soulless, so...]

I haven't heard of the others, but I did receive a mass text from a Ms. Heather Mason a few days ago. She seems to be leading the Shedinja capture around Olivine City.

[And then shit hit the fan... Not that Kain knows that.]

[Video]

[no_nukes_plz]

...I see. [He loops an arm around the Skarmory's neck, hugging it to him thoughtfully.]

So just don't look at their backs. Doesn't sound too hard.

[Olivine City. At least that was a hint as to where they might be.]

I'll head down there.

[Video]

[delusorydragoon]

Hmph. Tell that to all of the people that lost their souls.

[Kain's pretty bitter towards the bugs. They took the souls of two of his friends, and, sure, Ritz was awake now, but Cloud wasn't.]

You'll have a long way to go, then. Olivine is on the opposite coast from New Bark. Even with Fly, it took my friend and I a few weeks to get to Violet from there.

They can get them back, though, right? Charlotte said something about black balls?

I know it's a long way. But I owe them the effort to try. They'd do the same for me.

[myguiltyone]

So other people do return as well...

[thoughtful. He thinks it might be pointless, but he is trying to work this world out.]

How long've you been here before you were sent back?

voice

[no_nukes_plz]

Uh. About four months. Not sure how long I've been gone, though.

voice

[myguiltyone]

Four months, huh? Alright, this shit's completely random.

You remembered being here while you were back?

voice

[no_nukes_plz]

Kind of. It felt like a dream. I couldn't remember most of it. Bits and pieces, drifting in. Not that I was back for so long.
