2 ✶ video/action

[Video! Molly's sitting on a park bench in Cherrygrove, a Natu and a shiny Sentret fighting for space in her lap.]

I wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped me last time. I can't remember everyone's names, but thanks.

[There were a lot of you people. But she does appreciate it, which is why she's reaching out again.]

But ... okay, I have to ask a few things. I've heard people talk about badges, what are those?

And ... well, what are pokémon supposed to eat?

[Video tilts to show the pokémon she's concerned for, then back up to Molly's face.]

They've kind of been eating my food, but I don't know if that's good for them. But I haven't really found anything in those stores either, like bird food or ... dog food or anything like that. So if anyone could help me with that that'd be great.

[Action if anyone in Cherrygrove wants to bump into her!]

[ Meanwhile, he doesn't want to assume the but. But it's like an elephant in the room. He doesn't want to make the situation sound as bad as it is, doesn't want to give her any unpleasant surprises, doesn't want to make her worry. So he'll just nod and not press any further. She seems okay... and after all, he of all people know better than to underestimate someone because of their age. ]

Good.. that's... that's good.

[ Way to act casual, Yukio. ]

It... really isn't so bad here once you get used to it.

_{[She nods. She seems okay, and she really kind of is - there's a lot she should deal with and talk about but she's doing okay, anyway. The most pressing issue is the loneliness. The having to do deal on her own. She hasn't had to do that before.]

[But she's quickly discovering that her pokémon can be really good like that.]}

That's what everybody's saying. And some people say it's better here than where they come from.

I still think there has to be a way home, but I don't know where to start looking.

I've heard them say that, too. I guess everyone's got a reason for staying if they want to.

[ There's a pause as he ruffles his hair. Ah, yes. That age old problem. ]

I'm afraid no one's been useful with any information on how to get home. But you're not the only one, though. I've been trying to find a way back, too.

[ And a frown. ]

Sometimes you get sent back... but no one really knows how or why. It just... happens.

_{[Another nod.]}

Someone told me that. And that you forget when you go home.

You didn't find anything, did you?

_{[In trying to find a way back, she means.]}

I can't really say you forget... My brother's left and come back but he seems to remember things. As for finding a way home...

[ There's a sigh of resignation though. ]

I'm afraid not. But that doesn't mean I've given up.

_{[Oh, that's ... actually really calming. She doesn't comment on it, but her expression eases up a little.]}

If you find something you should tell me about it. Maybe I can help you.

Sure. Unfortunately, anyone who seems to be in any position to talk about it doesn't seem to be able to. So... it'll probably be up to us.

[ He's talked to Pokegod about it and got nowhere, for pete's sake. ]

But I'm sure if anyone's found anything, it'll definitely show up on the network at some point or another.

Okay. We'll keep our eyes out, right?

_{[She's fine with trying her hardest too so long as she feels someone's with her, and Yukio is pretty much offering.]}

.. I'm Molly, by the way.

Yeah. We will.

[ Gah! Good going, Yukio. Totes forgot to introduce himself again. ]

Ah... right. I'm Yukio. Yukio Okumura, in the western naming order. Nice to meet you, Molly.

You too!

You're not American, are you?

No, not really. I'm Japanese. From True Cross Town in Tokyo.

[ And a pause to think. ]

Okumura isn't a common name... so maybe you've met my brother?

Rin, right? Yeah!

_{[She perks up a bit, so it's clear she likes him.]}

[ Yeah, nice to see his brother still has that soft side. ]

That's him alright. I hope he hasn't been any trouble.

He's been really nice!

_[beaming!!]

He's gonna send me a journal so he can share recipes with me.

Typical him...

[ But there's a fond smile though even though his sentence straddles the border between exasperated and frustrated. ]

He's been cooking ever since we were kids so... rest assured that any recipes he sends you will be good.

[ ...Yukio, you're just 16. That's technically still a kid. ]

I can't wait to try them! I should send him something, too. Do you know anything he likes?

_{[Because Molly has no time for your exasperation - she's just kind of charmed. You're both good people.]}

My brother is the kind who's willing to try anything once... so you could probably surprise him with anything.

[ Because really, Rin was never a picky eater. ]

Maybe something you'd like in return.

I'll try to figure something out.

You're both sticking together, right?

I can't leave him alone for two seconds.

[ Despite the annoyed tone, there's a small smile there. So that's definitely a yes. ]

Why?

Well ... just asking!

I think if you have a family you should stick together.

_{[A bit ... more seriously there, but trying to mask it a bit.]}

[ Don't mind the teeniest smile from that. ]

Yeah... yeah, I think so too.

That's what our father would have wanted.

_{[Never minding smiles. There should always be smiles.]}

He's not here, is he?

[ Ah, but there's a question for you... and a shake of his head. ]

No... No he isn't here, I'm afraid. If he was, I'm sure Rin would have mentioned him by now.
