Yukari Takeba. Has anyone seen her? ... she's missing. That is, we travel together, and she hasn't turned up all day. I'd thought she might have been... displaced, like before, but I can't seem to find her contact information, for some reason. Also, I...

[ There are no exclamation marks big enough. He stops, and there's the sound of a sharp intake of breath before any actual words come across. Yukari...no.

No, she couldn't be. ]

...can you confirm they're hers?

[usedrapidspin]

I can, but even still, I recognize them. All of them, her whole team. Even Shadow.

[ seeing that Houndoom in there was pretty much the nail in the coffin, for him. ]

[ofmywill]

...hn.

[ That's something, alright- for all of them to go to him must have meant they were close. He's quiet for awhile again. ]

Guess she's gone.

[usedrapidspin]

She can't be.

[ she can and she is, he already figured it out hours ago, but it's easier to put up a fight about it. ]

[... oh this happened to her with her bff Ivan. ;;]

The same thing happened to my friend Ivan. We even made plans to train our pokémon together... But he disappeared later on in the night. [she pauses.] Did you-- get any of her pokémon?

[usedrapidspin]

[ there's a lengthy pause here, after her story, and then even longer after the question. ]

I got all of them, I think. Her team, and others that I'd seen before.

[usedrapidspin]

It's not just that. It's as if she was never here to begin with. Her information disappeared, too.

[video]

[usedrapidspin]

Their possessions, too, maybe. I can't find that, either.

[usedrage]

If Yukari-san's Pokemon are with you... then she's probably gone home, again.

[usedrapidspin]

Again? Had it happened before?

[usedrage]

With a different Yukari-san.

[usedrapidspin]

Different...

[ somehow, the sound of that makes it all seem much worse. ]

[reimprovise]

It's always a bit distressing when they leave, isn't it?

[usedrapidspin]

I've never had it happen to someone I knew very well.

[reimprovise]

After all this time? That's some luck you have, there.

[usedrapidspin]

I don't know. I can't really think of it as luck.
