Action:

[GUESS WHO IS NO LONGER CHERRYSTUCK. Molly is no longer Cherrystuck! It's a little after noon when she finally gets to Violet, all her pokémon (and one of Shaun's) out with her and following her onto the sidewalk that just kind of appears next to the grass. She kept them all out so she'd feel less lonely. It got quiet and haunting on the routes at night, but she bought a book before she left and her pokémon kept her company.]

[She goes to the Center first, and then the Inn, she calls Shaun, and then she looks around. Violet is a lot bigger than Cherrygrove, but it's nowhere near as big as Los Angeles, and she still thinks it's more a town than a city.]

[She can be found here and there throughout the next few days, especially hanging out near the bridges over the freezing water looking at the Sprout Tower and playing hide and go seek with her pokémon in the trees lining the town. When she's not curled up in the Inn lobby drawing or reading a book because it's still pretty cold out.]

Audio, private to Shaun: I'm in Violet now! Where are you?

Audio, january 24th:

Does anybody know if there's a pokémon that's good at finding people? Or ... if there's a move that can do that, I guess.

[Contemplative, kind of introspective sounding girl who's thought about this for a while.]

Like ... like they could see really far.

Hi.

_[Pause,]

I used to be able to find people really easy. I need to figure out how to do that here.

No kidding? That's a useful skill to have.

So something about this place is tripping you up, huh? That's a shame. But there might be a trick to it you haven't found yet.

I don't think so. I just can't do it.

And everybody else who can do something special can't do that, either.

...Huh. That's... different.

[Not something he's heard yet, but then he's mostly talked to normal people so far. Well, a... certain definition of normal, anyway.]

Must be frustrating not being able to do it anymore. But I guess that's how a pokémon would come in handy. Still, plenty of ways to track someone the normal way, it's just... harder.

_{[She's normally not this open about the fact that she's special, but she feels lost and frustrated and blind, and so far nobody's tried to kill her for it.]

[So he's right. And she makes an agreeing kind of sound.]}

I don't really know how to do it the normal way.

I mean ... I know someone who's a police officer, and he told me a few things, but I've never done it before. And he didn't want me to ask too much anyway.

So I thought that a lot of pokémon have powers, so there's probably one who can do it.

_{[... she's rambling a little.]}

Makes sense. You never had to know how before.

Using a pokémon's not a bad way of handling it, 'specially if you're in a rush. But if you wanna do it the normal way yourself, you can always start learnin' how. Won't be the same as back home, but it might help.

Yeah, I guess.

Do you know how?

_{[It's not a request that he specifically help her, but he sounded like he knew something at the start there, so she just wants to know.]}

Yeah, I do. I'm pretty good at it. It's something I've had to do a lot of, back home. For work.

[Let's... not get into what that work was.]

...I could give you tips, if you want.

Really? Thanks.

_{[Means yes, please.]}
