[Rise spent a while crying, so she doesn't want to do any videos of any kind. Besides, she is surround by sad Pokémon, and that'd be even worse. She will answer any video or audio posts with text.]

Crocker-san is gone.

Crocker-san didn't ever want to go home. He was a really good friend, and it's going to be a lot quieter now.

He left me all of his Eevee's and Eeveelution's to take care of. Did anyone else get any of his Pokémon?

[He had been thinking of contacting her about something soon. His timing might be bad, but this could cheer her up a little. ]

Rise, can you stop by headquarters for a bit?

[text/action]

[dangerousidol]

[She doesn't really want to go anywhere, but maybe leaving the hotel room she chose to hole herself up in would work. She didn't want to overrun the dojo with... a lot of Eevee's.]

Okay. I'll be there soon.

[It doesn't take her too long to get there, her only Pokémon beside her being Nanako the Meowstic.]

Killua-san.

Hello, Rise. Sorry for the sudden call, but I finished up a new recipe and I thought you'd like the first go at it.

[He gesture to the plate of some rather interesting looking cookies.]

While you snack, we can talk.

[action]

[dangerousidol]

No, it's okay! I should have come by when I got back in town!

[She blinks and takes one, taking a bite out of it.]

Pepper and coffee?

[doesntdomuch]

[Oh.

Well he doesn't know who this "Crocker" is, nor has he known Rise all that long, but she has shown kindness to him and Perry feels like he should attempt to pay her back. Especially if she's suffering.]

Hey.

Do you want to talk?

[Text]

[dangerousidol]

I don't know what to talk about... oh. Maybe I do.

He was a good friend, even though I thought he was really weird at first.

[Text]

[doesntdomuch]

[Oh he knows all about those kinds of people.]

He sounds like he must have been a great friend.

[As much as Teddie would love to bombard Rise with a ton of horribly spelled texts, that didn't really seem like a good idea right now. So in a rare bought of clarity, Teddie sticks with just calling her.]

Rise-chan, can you please talk to me?

[Voice]

[dangerousidol]

[It'll take a while before Rise answers.]

I'll be fine. He's not the first one to leave like this.

[Voice]

[kingofthetvworld]

[It's a scary thought. Teddie can't even imagine what he'd do if Rise or even Perry disappeared like that on him, especially out of nowhere. It...is disappearing, right? He doesn't understand the concept fully, but that's what it's starting to sound like.

Now forgive him he can't believe her right now.]

Y-Yeah, you said Sensei left, too. Nnngh... [Too many mixed emotions right now, he doesn't even know the guy who left. All he knows is that it's upsetting Rise. What's worse is she's not even nearby, he can't even do anything about it.] H-Hey! Is Nana-chan next to you?

[Just a guess. From what he's seen, Rise always has her meowstic with her.]

[awesmazings]

I got his Samurott. I'm on the road right now so I didn't see it right away, but...

[...god, he doesn't even know what to say this time, for some reason.]

Things between me and him were a little rough at first, but we actually got past it and were good friends. It's not fair that he had to go home, if he didn't want to.

[text]

[dangerousidol]

[She appreciates the contact, even though she has no idea who this is.]

Yeah, I started talking to him while he was in jail. And his dream... that was weird. But after that, he kept checking up on me. It was really nice of him to do that.

[text]

[awesmazings]

Did he really? That is nice...I'm glad to hear that.

It really did seem like he was trying to do what he could to do good by everyone, so that's what really matters.

[diehardreaper]

not him too
i was rather fond of the bloke even if he did seem a bit barmy at times
mightve gotten his ralts

text;

[dangerousidol]

He was a god guy.
The 'fairy' thing freaked me out at first, but he was really nice otherwise.
Oh! Nanako will be happy to hear that!

text;

[diehardreaper]

We've all got our oddities, don't we?
Crocker's definitely not the sort I'd ever forget, truth be told
Nanako, though. Was that someone he knew or one of his pokemon?

[text]

[solas_ion]

You going to be okay?

[text]

[dangerousidol]

Yeah, eventually.
This is my third friend that left.
It hits harder each time.

[text]

[solas_ion]

I know it does.

I've been here a hell of a long time. It doesn't get a lot easier, sorry to say.

text;

[pipers_son]

yeah i know

offered him a place to stay back when the whole rocket business happened

how they doing on your end???

text;

[dangerousidol]

They're sad, of course, but my Eevee's are helping them keep calm. Chiisai, my Umbreon, is mothering them all.

They really miss him. They love him a lot...

text;

[pipers_son]

good to hear. at least they have someone to watch after them.

i got him an igglybuff not too long ago
found her in my pc
aint exactly the most pleasant feeling

[text]

[presentyourbadge]

It's never easy when someone leaves.

Do you need any help, Rise?

[text]

[dangerousidol]

I really don't like it, but I can't stop it.

I don't know. My boss said I could take all the Eevee's to the dojo so they can socialize with the other Pokémon there. Just didn't think I'd wind up with five more.

[She's gonna send Phoenix a picture of a pile of Eevee's and Eeveeultion's taking up her entire bed as they sleep.]

I've got nine now.

[text]

[presentyourbadge]

That's a lot of Eevees.

[Yikes. It's a pretty big load to deal with...especially when, as far as Phoenix can tell, Rise hasn't really had to deal with this sort of thing happening before.]

Hey, if you want, I wouldn't mind taking care of one or two. I'm sort of used to the helping orphaned Pokemon thing. [He wonders if it has anything to do with his decision to adopt Trucy all those years ago. Or maybe Phoenix is just naturally inclined to help anyone and anything that's downtrodden. Regardless, during his first stretch in Johto, he'd had his fair share of second-hand critters; a vast majority of his team had been made up of them, in fact.]
