Sixty-Ninth Launch

[shieldofjustice]

[Video]Well, I guess everyone else knows by now what happened. I'd never expected Team Rocket to attempt something like that on the train's maiden voyage -- I guess after their inactivity, I didn't think they'd be that bold

You're all right, though, aren't you?

[video]

[shieldofjustice]

Yes. Yes, I'm fine. I've just been trying to rest after an experience as harrowing as that one was.

[video]

[fullmoonstory]

Do you have all of your Pokemon with you?

...Is the train still going to run? [She is trying so hard not to rush off and try to get to Saffron and help everybody]

[video]

[shieldofjustice]

I do. They didn't get a single one. Frankly, none of them were capable of taking even a single hit from Justice.

Er. Yes, I believe it's going to still run. I hope it is, at least, because it'll be easier to get to Indigo Plateau from New Bark Town than it will be from here.

Probably should have expected something like this from them. [He's unhappy with himself for not figuring it out earlier.]

They were really active before, right? All that time they were quiet, they must've been planning something.

[Video]

[shieldofjustice]

...Yeah. I can think of two incidents that can be traced directly to them before this. I only wish I'd been able to discover something about it when I sneaked into their hideout...

[Video]

[tiercelet]

Two? I know they were involved in that Radio Tower thing recently, but what else was there?

[shieldofjustice]

Do you remember when Water-type Pokémon across the region went berserk, and immediately afterward, Lugia appeared? I have reason to believe that Team Rocket caused that.

[After seeing the video Haruka goes to find him. Once she's getting closer, Haruka waves her arms.]

Athrun-kun! I'm so glad you are alright...

[shieldofjustice]

[Athrun, who had been resting on a park bench for a moment and watching people go by, gets up when he sees her. He walks over, putting on a smile.]

Likewise. How have you been holding up since yesterday?

[tripping_idol]

I'm alright, Hibiki-chan made sure to keep me away from danger. But how are you? Did you lost..anybody?

[She can't imagine what would be losing a pokemon like.]

action;

[shieldofjustice]

...Huh? Oh, no. None of them could take a single hit from Justice. The only danger I faced was from the bomb.

...Anyway, I'm sorry about how everything turned out. I feel partly responsible, since I paid for the ticket...
