Video

[The screen pops on, and there's a worried looking Rise with a shiny Eevee in her arms. The Eevee looks sad as well.]

I found this little guy in my box this morning. Seems he came from Labrys-san... Does this mean she's gone now? Jin is really sad, and even Himiko can't help him. She's a Sylveon now, but she can't get him to feel better.

Do Pokémon take a long time to get over the disappearance of their trainers like a human would? Or is it different for them?

[She's really, really worried. And sad. She was hoping to get to know Labrys better.]

Action

[Being inside the Dojo all the time to practice was wearing her out. The commercial she was preparing for was a lot more intensive than she thought it would be. She was definitely out of practice.

So since it's Sunday, she decides it would be a perfect day to go out and about. Time to look for more people she knows! Practicing bit into a good chunk of the time she was here, so not a lot of exploring had been done.

If anyone is walking around Goldenrod, you'll see Rise walking around with a sad Eevee in her arms, Himiko the Sylveon at her side, and Nanako the Meowstic on her other side. Nanako is the only one of the four who doesn't seem all too perturbed with Labrys being gone. She was getting better at dancing. That's all that mattered to her.]

Do you think we'll find ni-chan today?

Even if they're not human, Pokemon seem to have just as many emotions and experiences like we do.

Losing someone important to them... It probably takes a while for them just as it would for any other person. Or they might try to move on very quickly.

It seems like it's dependent on the Pokemon.

That makes sense... the others I got from a friend who left aren't as sad as Jin. Might it be because he's so young?

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

Maybe. It's hard to say. Some also don't show it so easily when they're sad.

text;

[dangerousidol]

I know some people like that. I can't tell how they feel at all, like my Sempai.

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

That's just how some people are. Sometimes, they don't know how to process their emotions in a way that shows outwardly, so they keep it locked inside.

The best we can do, I think, is just be there for them.

text;

[dangerousidol]

Yeah. I hope one day Sempai will open up to me just a little.

I'll keep all of the Pokémon left me to close to my heart!

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

text;

[dangerousidol]

You're really nice. Thank you.

I'm Rise Kujikawa!

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

It's the least I could do.

My name is Red. It's nice to meet you.

text;

[dangerousidol]

Should I call you Red-san, or just Red?

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

Just Red is fine. Do you use honorifics yourself?

text;

[dangerousidol]

Alright. Red. That sounds nice.

Just Rise is fine with me. /o/

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

Thanks. It's a stage name I picked out for myself, and I've kept it ever since.

text;

[dangerousidol]

A stage name? Are you an actress?

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

Singer, actually. I'm sort of retired, now.

text;

[dangerousidol]

Really? Why did you retire? Did you strain your voice?

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

There was an accident... I can't speak at all anymore, let alone sing.

[Thus the texting.]

text;

[dangerousidol]

Oh no... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to pry up something painful like that.

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

It's alright. There's no way you would have known ahead of time.

It's been around a year since it happened, so I've had time to adjust.

text;

[dangerousidol]

Have you been here that long?

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

It's getting close to that, I think. July will make it a year, if I stay that long.

text;

[dangerousidol]

You think you'll be leaving soon?

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

I don't think so but it sounds like no one knows when they'll disappear from this place. You sort of have to live every moment for what it's worth.

text;

[dangerousidol]

I'll cherish every moment here then. I love my Pokémon, and I like the friends I've made here. I don't want to go anywhere for a long time!

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

That's a good way to live life in general, isn't it?
