prank #19 | video / action for Dave if he's in the hotel room.

[For once, there is no smile on John's face when he turns on the video feed. Instead there is a look of tired, barely-restrained panic on his face. Also unusual are the stacks of books surrounding him. Someone went to the library. Someone found every book they could on ghosts and legends.]

[Someone stayed up all night reading all those books, and it definitely shows.]

[Barely visible on the couch behind him is a lavender-clad body laid out on the couch. The face isn't visible, but to anyone who knows her, the clothes should be recognizable as those of Rose Lalonde.]


Has... [His voice is the tiniest bit shaky. He's really trying his hardest to stay calm here.] Anyone figured anything out yet? About the people who were taken, I mean? And how to get them back? I talked to a few people about it last night but...heh, it's a different day now, right? [There's a very forced, weak laugh.] I read every book I could find...but they aren't telling me anything more than the pokédex did.

[It's a little late for "don't look in their backs."]

So...yeah. If anyone knows something, I would appreciate it.

[He gives the camera once last slightly desperate look before clicking it off.]

No, it didn't work at all. I mean, I didn't try and weaken it or anything, I just threw one for the hell of it because...you know they're just kind of floating around and not putting up much of a fight. Or they run away if you try to fight them. But yeah, it wouldn't even go IN the ball and do the little..."wiggle, wiggle, oops you didn't catch me after all!" thing.

But yeah. Catching them doesn't seem to be an option either. At least not with regular pokéballs.

Huh. Never heard of a Pokemon doin' that before, but then again, I didn't really catch mine. He just turned up inside the Pokeball and that's the only one I've tried recalling him to.
