twelfth fault; video/action for saffron

[ The feed clicks on to a figure against an almost-black backdrop, a dimly lit silhouette without any sun to light her features. She opens her mouth, right before the sky opens up and boom, boom, booms, like a series of naval cannons. Lightning flashes in the background, illuminating Miyuki and her annoyed expression for a good couple of seconds. She's wet, and her face is bruised, an ugly line down the center of her lower lip.

In the precious moments of brightness, the darkness behind her is also thrown into sharp relief: it's the hulking side of a Torterra, which seems to be moderate shelter from the wind, the occasional shift notwithstanding.

Miyuki speaks loudly to be heard over the rush of rain and the bluster of wind in the microphone of the 'Gear, which still manages to obliterate her words now and then. ]

This really sucks! Kanto wasn't this crappy in the games! If I could Fly in this without getting struck by stupid lightning, I'd just go back to Johto! At least I didn't get all my stuff stolen there!

[ There's another flash of lightning, this one much closer, and she ducks, the 'Gear going up over her head. The Torterra's form is even more brightly lit than last time, the electricity crackling around his shell before it dies out. Miyuki looks a little shaken when she brings the focus back to her face. ]

I'm really glad that worked! [ She gestures over her shoulder. ] I'm on the roof next to the train station! Tank-bro makes a pretty good lightning rod!

Sakura-chan! I hope you're inside somewhere and not an idiot!

[ She seems to be about to say something else, but another solid crack of thunder cuts her off. She shouts something that's mostly drowned out by the wind, but sounds like (if you're listening closely) 'we'll talk later.'

Click. ]


[ Feel free to come find her if you're in Saffron and you're capable. Otherwise, she'll be answering replies to this post on a slight delay. ]

[Other Father's sat atop Bobby the Blastoise, floating through the seas streets of Goldenrod.

He looks a little tense, but considering he's currently on a rescue mission...]

Glad to see you're doing okay, kiddo! Might be best to stay under cover for a while.

[He's shouting pretty loudly too, what with the torrential rain and lightning.]

It's just as bad in Johto, though, sorry to say.

action | oh look they're actually in the same city

[You know, under more normal, less life-threatening circumstances, Yagyuu would probably be silently complaining about Chitose-kun's little sister and how much that guy is going to owe him the next time they see each other and so on and so forth...but at this point, that usual level of assholery goes right out the window in the face of the realization that, good grief, she's outside on a roof in this weather.

She's right that anything airborne is pretty much doomed in lightning storms this bad, and a lot of his typical roster won't be much help, either, so he pulls out a few members of his B-Team from the PC and sets off through the chaos, keeping his Cubone at a mild distance to draw off any lightning that might get too close.]

Chitose-san!

I'm not an idiot!

[ The noises of the storm are slightly muffled where Sakura is. And that big orange whatever behind her is her Arcanine. ]

I'm in the Pokemon Center. It's really crowded in here, though.

Why are you on a roof? It's dangerous outside!
