15th Tomoe || Video, Action for Goldenrod City

[beforethedarkness]

[A tired and quite irritated Sasuke is the first thing that shows up on the gear, and in the background behind him is Obito, Tenten, and Evan. It's obvious that they're outside in Goldenrod City, and although Sasuke looks a little worse for wear he's much better than he was after the Valentine's Attack was done.

Even if he still has bandages over burns and puncture marks and his right arm is still in a cast.]

If I don't answer a message the first time, leaving twenty more isn't going to make me answer any faster. I just went through 174 messages on my gear.

[A heavy sigh, and he shakes his head.]

I was in Ilex forest trying to catch some pokémon. I wanted to do it alone. That's all there is to it.

[Shutting off the video, because irritation is at maximum. He's going to go make Whitney cry get the Plain Badge now, if only because he never wants to be made that weak and vulnerable ever again.]

Then maybe you're just thinking too much and letting your motivations get in the way of your strengths.

[He did let go this time, but he didn't move away.]

[beforethedarkness]

[There's no strength for those thoughts to get in the way of, though...

But he doesn't say as much, instead moving to finally just lock himself in his room.]

[He leaned on the door, voice pitched to carry through it.]

Weakness is a state of mind Sasuke. It only happens when someone has nothing to be strong for, and revenge is no motivation at all. Just... think about that. Okay?

[beforethedarkness]

[He was silent, not responding to Obito at all as he just sat there, alone with his memories.]

[itsjustdust]

[Well crap. That was the best he could do, for the moment, so he set about doing some other things instead.]
