( WELL ITS ABOUT TIME, JACK )

// ACTION TAKING PLACE AFTER THE BATTLE. Feel free to message or walk up to him!//

[Jack sits on one of the many benches in the Violety City Pokemon Center. Hindenburge drifts around his head babbling (or “Floon! Floon!”-ing) about the battle excitedly. In the seat next to him is the egg he was given nestled down in Jack’s coat.

He holds his chin in his hands and stares thoughtfully at the tile between his feet while his birds are in back getting fixed up. You’d think a winner would look happier! ]

<sub>[The video opens with...a blurry screen. It looks like somebody has fogged up the 'Gear's lens or spritzed it with water. THEN ALL GOES BLACK and lots of annoying creaky plastic sounds assault your ears. When the picture clears, all is revealed!

It's day time. People are playing in the snow and laughing on the other side of the Violet cafe windows. BUT ALL IS NOT WELL IN THIS WINTER WONDERLAND.

Have a very...unhappy looking Jack squinting at you. His nose has gone red, his eyes are puffy, and his hair looks like he's been attacked by a rabid pikachu. He is wearing no less than three sweaters and they are all fugly. The Pumpkin King has caught his very first cold. D'awww. ]</sub>


Hhhkhhg--I'll give-- I'll give anyone who brings me some cold medicine one of my potions. Or lunch. And my undying appreciation. I'll name my next Pokemon after you this is dreadful!

O-oh before I fhhggorget! Minni Mouse! I have your Christmas gift!


There was something else but I forgo'd what I was talking about--

_{[The screen is suddenly covered by an explosive sneeze. Classy.]}

[Boop!  Today, Jack's feed focuses on a much more alert and determined face than his last video. His pokemon are healed, his spirits are high, and he is ready to prove to everyone that he is totally not zubatshit insane! Behind him looms the Sprout Tower, silhouetted by the sinking sun.]

Good mor--er afternoon! I have finally made it to the tower! It reminds me of home so much. The ghosts inside are going to point me the way home, but if I find a way back, I'll definitely visit! You have all been such wonderful company and great help! Edgar, are you ready?

[The Murkrow pops into the frame with her GAME FACE on. She has no idea what Jack's babbling about but she's seen some ratatta rustling around the grass at the tower's base and she's ready to go kick some purple rodent ass. "KROW!"]

Everyone take care!


[Oh, he'll be back....]

[The video is very shaky and blurry at first but eventually focuses on...Jack's hand. There is a thin cut stretching across his palm which bleeds freely. Behind it is the beach.]

This is the most amazing thing! Look! Look at this! I can feel the nerves firing off and-- everything! Wow! Hah!



...ow.


I cut it on this--

[He tilts the Poke'Gear down to show a bit of broken seashell in the sand by his feet. Edgar is nowhere to be seen.]

[The camera is pointed at a road stretching into the distance. It's also right side up. This is an improvement! It's mid-morning. Jack can be heard wheezing lightly and the Poke'Gear wobbles just a little since he's leaned over with a hand on one knee.]

Good morning! What you're looking at is a day and a half of road! According to my map, we're a day and a half away from a place called Cherrygrove. And then, maybe a week from the tower. I'd like to thank everyone who gave me such helpful information! I owe each of you. Any and all hints on the whereabouts of a graveyard are still welcome! Let's see...

[Jack points the Poke'Gear to the road ahead.]

Path-- looks good. It's been kind of a lonely walk.

[The camera flips around to reveal an upside down Jack.]

Nose-- still busted. Anyone know how long these take to heal?

[The 'Gear is turned again to focus on Edgar who his hoping along side Jack. She croaks to him.]

Edgar-- actually a girl! I'm so sorry, Edgar!
