10th Tomoe || Video, Action at Route 47, 4th Wall Event

[beforethedarkness]

[There was a Crobat flying around a boy frantically and a Luxio nuzzling at him to try and wake him when the pokégear broadcasts to the network. Once it's on, a Blaziken appears on screen and points him out, clearly distressed at the state of his trainer. It's not hard to see why, as Sasuke starts getting up and spares the gear a look. He's covered in burns and his clothes are slightly tattered, but that likely isn't the most jarring thing about him.]



[It doesn't take long for Sasuke to wobble over, his hand gripping tightly at his left shoulder the whole time while he does. He cuts the feed once he makes it to the camera.]

[ACTION!]

[He's breathing hard as he's just trying to keep going, stubbornly pushing his pokémon away from him at every turn. Those pokémon just continued to try and help him, or at least carry him, back to a town. Any town. They didn't know what to do when their trainer was like this, clearly in a lot of pain and weak. Why did he keep pushing them away?

He stops, nearly falling when someone appears in his path. Who, though?]

[That almost makes him want to smirk. He ends up stopping when the mark throbs and he lets out a hard breath, shaking it off as he leans back on his heels.]

I already exhausted too much chakra earlier. I can't risk using anymore.

[heartdive]

Then don't? Must take awhile to recover that chalkie stuff.

[beforethedarkness]

Chakra.

And it does, sometimes. It shouldn't take too long after this.

[Even if it's causing him to feel dizzy from lack of real energy and from hunger right about then... That, at least, he could hide.]

[heartdive]

[ he's rubbing at his chin, thinking. ]

We can ride Blaze for now.

[beforethedarkness]

... All right. Hiruzen, return.

[The pokémon looks a little put out before he's pulled back into the ball, and Sasuke replaces it on his belt before approaching Sora and Blaze.]

We can see where everyone is once we're back in town.

[And, honestly... He hoped that it wasn't Goldenrod. He wanted to take down Bowser himself and he might be a little tiny bit worried about them]

[heartdive]

They might be all over the place too. Looks like a lot of people are ending up in new places.

[ Blaze kneels as best as a horse can to make it easier for Sora ( and Sasuke ) to get up. ]

[beforethedarkness]

... It's better if they're not there.

[His murmuring is probably almost too soft for Sora to really hear, as if he's saying it to himself. He shakes it off after a moment and climbs onto Blaze behind Sora, nodding once he's comfortable.]

Let's move.

[heartdive]

[ almost, but as Blaze kicks off and starts at a quick trot, Sora is going to ask: ]

Why do yo say that?

[beforethedarkness]

[Crap. Give him a moment to actually think of how to reply to that Sora.]

... It just is.

[heartdive]

You really don't want to see your friends from back home?

[beforethedarkness]

... It would be better if they didn't show up here. Or at Goldenrod.
