Video 6: Show Me the Way to Go Home (Action for Azalea)

[justanexpression]

[Jack turns the feed on but doesn’t say anything right away, preoccupied with settling the pokemon he’s surrounded by this time. A Togepi sits in his lap, with a Meowth curled into a ball against his leg on one side, and a Buneary and Smeargle snuggled together on the other. All four of them look positively depressed and Jack, for once, doesn’t seem much better.

Spot the Swablu is on Jack’s shoulder as usual, doing her best to groom him all better and looking somewhat distressed herself that it’s not working.]

So... these guys showed up yesterday. I never actually got to meet them in person before, but the names are all right, and they seem to recognize me...

[The Meowth glances up when he pets her head but then returns to her ball.]

I guess this means they’re both really gone, now? That’s usually what it means when your friends’ pokemon suddenly show up in your computer, right?

[He runs a hand through his hair, accidentally undoing Spot’s work and making her whistle in frustration before pecking his fingers out of the way to start over. It gets him to smile, at least.]

Have you ever been surprised that you ended up missing someone you never thought you would?

[He's got his own fuzzy recollection, like a half-remembered dream, of seeing Carley, but that didn't mean much either.]

Yeah, that's about all you can do - just keep goin' on. At least you know they'll be okay.

[justanexpression]

Yeah, there is that. Thanks.

Probably gonna try to keep busy, too. Heading with a friend to start getting my badges. It's about time, I guess. Something else to think about.

[handydecisions]

That's good, you've got a plan, anyway. Good place to start.

You gonna be okay, kid?
