Kurama had not made a public broadcast since arriving, and the thought didn't even occur to him for some time. Asking for help like this was not exactly like him, but it wasn't for him, it was for the creatures Kuwabara had left behind with his absence. One in particular seemed to be struggling to recover, and the fox could only theorize on why that might be, but he was fairly confident in his assessment. Puu was Kuwabara’s starter, after all.

When he did finally make the decision to reach out, he's sitting with the Gear focused on him, a listless swablu on his lap.

“Perhaps somebody out there could help me with something. You see, a friend of mine recently disappeared from this world. It is my understanding that he likely returned home, I am not concerned about him. I am, unfortunately, afraid that Puu here is struggling to adjust to our new arrangement. Is there anything I can do, to maybe ease him through this transition?”

He could have just asked Botan, but realistically, he didn't want to bother her with every little thing, and also it seemed best to seek out multiple opinions on this one.

[ooc: As a reminder! If your character has met him previously, he goes by Shuichi here. feel free to wildcard/action something else in the replies for Violet, Goldenrod or general Rocket business, hit me up on plurk to plot anything specific:

Additional note: brackets are hard for me to read, so may result in slower replies! I am just going to have to accept that reality about my eyes these days.]

[Hello, Johto! Been a minute, hasn't it? The video flicks on to show Botan, sunshine and flowers as usual.

...With her Greavard, he seems to be the only Pokemon she has for the moment, but she has a good reason for being quiet and not thinking about Pokemon capturing, because--]

Botan here!

I have a very small announcement, if you happen to know Korra or even knew me before...we're getting married!

[She has a small popper that she pops off as she says that, the Greavard's tail wags.]

Three years late, but better late than never! The date is October 31st, any other details you can ask myself or Korra about directly. That's all, thank you!

[And the feed clicks off with the Greavard licking the screen.]

[The content of this post is probably going to be a dead giveaway, considering things like mannerisms, the question enclosed... all of that. But it's worth a shot, isn't it?]

[Worth a shot without troubling too many people who are already bothered enough with current events.]

Those of you who weren't human beings before your arrival here... Have you had much issue adjusting? Even years after your waking in this world? Or any issue at all. Things perhaps you had stopped considering, until events have brought them back to light. Feel free to keep your anonymity, if you wish.

[There's a bit of a racket going on before the video feed flicks on, what sounds like the panting of a dog, some reassuring "I know, I know" from a feminine voice.

Then the video turns on.

Botan seems lightly amused at returning to Johto, but she's had some time to readjust. She's exactly where she's supposed to be now, which is why--despite clearly appearing to be a newcomer--it doesn't look like she's on the starting routes.

To anyone else, they will just see a perky young woman, smiling sweetly at the camera. She appears to be dressed in a kimono, though her outlandishly bright blue hair might be more attention-grabbing.

Either that, or the shaggy sheepdog-looking creature sitting next to her, which she is serenely petting despite the candle on its head being a risk to her sleeves.]

Botan here! I do beg your pardon, I'm new only by technicality--I'm a returning person. I'm very sorry for not announcing my presence sooner, I was a bit busy with my fiancee.

[And her smile turns brighter (if that's even possible).]

This is my new friend, Houta. [Meaning the Greavard, who rumbles something understandable to her (and anyone else who could understand the speech of a Pokemon) as "yeahyeahyeahyeah--me, that's me, I'm Houta--me."] I'm a Breeder, though it will take a bit of time for me to set that back up, since I don't have my Pokemon anymore besides those Korra kept. I suppose it's safe to assume that there's still no real organization for us, hmm?

[It's to be expected, after all, Breeders do tend to just throw out their eggs into the wind.]

And, to my friends and associates who might recognize me, I'm so sorry for leaving. But I'm home now! I missed you all very much!

[For once, Botan doesn't seem to be inside of her shop when the feed opens up, she's…in the middle of decorating a house? Sort of, anyway, since obviously she's facing the 'Gear to talk. Wiggling around on the table that she has the camera set up on is a small Applin, though it's not the focus here—it's her troublesome Polteageist and some eggs.]

Hello, everyone, Botan here! Well, I had an experiment to be certain that my Polteageist was capable of producing eggs, and turns out yes, yes he is. [Her Polteageist is genderless, so she had to resort to using her awful amoral Ditto, not that she wants to introduce the world to that right now.] So! [She holds up a picture of a Sinistea, isn't it cute? She's certainly all smiles about it.] Anybody want a Sinistea egg? They're free to a good home! They're a Ghost and Fairy type Pokemon that, I must warn you, will need a special type of teapot to evolve should you want to—it's only found in the Goldenrod Underground, I learned that the hard way.

[Anybody that saw her last broadcast would know, anyway.]

Do feel free to contact me if you want one—and Dr. Spengler, I've already sent one over to you so no worries about that.

((ooc: Oooookay I may be spotty on return tags but here's the IC post and here are the eggs if y'all want them!))

STEVEN! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!

[Steven's name is the first that comes to mind out of habit. Others are going to see her, she's sure, but she feels more comfortable calling the boy's name when she's being frantic.

Maybe he isn't here anymore. Maybe he wasn't here in the first place. In that case she's just making a fool of herself, but she has to try making contact. She has been terribly wronged.

She has a hat pulled down over the spot on her forehead where he gem would normally be, hiding the fact that it's no longer there. Everything is awful.]

And, ah... H-hello, everyone! Wonderful weather we're having today.

[Simply awful.]

[The video is actually

a little dark, kind of stuttery, like Botan is broadcasting from somewhere with a spotty signal.

And actually, she is, she's in the Goldenrod Underground, in front of an empty stall where a little...thing is sitting looking quite pleased with itself.]

I.

[The screen isn't actually stuttering this time, Botan is genuinely at a loss for words.]

He just...jumped into the teapot...when the woman was here. And she demanded money. And now she's gone.

[...]

M-my dex says this is a Polteageist.

[Well, so?]

I had a dream about this exact thing, I thought our abilities were nerfed when we got here?!

[Yes she just said "nerfed" when she meant "gotten rid of" like a nerd that plays video games, because she is one on the down low, but leave her alone she's in a state of shock.]

...Er. Sorry. Happy February?

[The Polteageist waves its little arms in agreement, yes, happy February!]

[It's the middle of winter, and that means that a lot of Carly's posts are happening inside, thanks. She's even propped up her pokegear on the caravan cabinets, ~~handily not looking at the front door, where her picture from Jack is~~. Anyway. Coffee brewing, cup being prepared, she rambles.]

You know, it's taken a bit, but I think I'm really starting to settle into things here? I mean I don't know if it's 'settled' settling, I'm moving more than I have my whole life actually if I think about it, ah...

...Where was I- Oh! Right! There was this thing I used to do every day, just to see how it would go! It was a little bit of fortune telling, [she explains, waving her hands about while waiting for the machine. Unseen to Carly, something milky looking is creeping around it, moving toward the mug she's been setting up...]

I had six cards with the six different elements, and each one had a different fortune... ...Course I don't have those here now, [she sighs, blindly grabbing for the coffee pot as it beeps.] ...I don't even know how I'd remake them here..! There's what, 18 types? That's way more fortunes, and I'd have to think of them this time! I'd need to do a lot of crowdsourcing for-

[It happens in an instant. Carly starts pouring the coffee in. The milcery, who was in the cup, jumps out and shakes off the scalding fluid with an angry screech. Carly meanwhile manages to drop (and somehow not break) the pot to the side while screaming herself.]

HHHIIIHHHHH!!!!

[.........................................they'll come back after about ten or twenty minutes.

With the mess cleaned.

The coffee mug on a bed mounted table.

Milcery...sitting...]

S...So I found where my egg went after all this time..! I guess!!

[She sounds a bit frazzled, poor girl.]

[Korra looks flushed and disheveled and a bit out of breath when she comes on the network, and there's a fresh bruise on her cheek. She's bundled up and outside somewhere, but despite her appearance she's grinning.]

Hey, so who around here plays hockey? Because this sport is great!

Oh, I'm in Goldenrod by the way. I'll probably be here through winter. I've actually started to miss the snow and cold a little bit.

Plus...Botan's here, so...

But if anybody plays hockey or wants to, you should come play with me. Even my newest little guy is enjoying it! Well...he's enjoying biting the puck anyway...

He really likes to bite things.

[Korra shifts the gear and there, at the edge of the ice, is a Chewtle gnawing enthusiastically on a hockey puck.]

[The feed starts with a familiar face. A long face with sharp bone structure, wild hair, sharp eyes with a hint of anger around the edges, a scruff of unkempt facial hair. He's regarding the Gear in his hands, and the feed on the screen with intense scrutiny, picking and poking at the buttons with a chicken pecking finger. Mostly, he looks frustrated, as if being distracted from something more important looming overhead.]

[His concentration is broken by a soft whinny, and a snout noses its way underneath one of his arms until the head of a small Blitzle pokes through. Jean looks at her with a tsk, but doesn't try to dislodge her or force her away. From the look on his face, he's already tried, and with little success. He gives the little Pokemon a pat on the nose and goes back to searching his Gear.]

This is crazy... [He murmurs to himself, and shakes his head softly in disbelief. He's familiar with having his entire world upended, it seems to happen to him on a yearly basis, but this is on a whole 'nother level. The technology was so advanced that he couldn't come to it as a logical conclusion on his own-- to him, it was nothing more than magic. But he couldn't be dreaming. This was far too detailed and tactile to be a dream. He heaves a sigh that sounds like something that should be coming out of his Blitzle's nose, and looks away with an obvious expression of what now?]

[It was going to be a long day.]

[Sometime early Monday evening, the following blunt, all-caps message pops onto the network:]

CAN ANYONE CONFIRM THAT THIS ISN'T ANOTHER HALLUCINATION FROM MY DEER? THANKS

Do you suppose Suicune is...all right?

[Unusually without cheerful greetings or "hi my name is"--here's Botan. It's been a while, bit of a coma problem, bit of a "been busy, I'll check in later" problem. But--]

It's been some days since the broadcast and we haven't heard anything else, as far as I know. I'm sure Ho-Oh is doing its best, and it's not really our place to wonder, but I just can't help wondering what in Heaven's name managed to do that to Suicune. Or what made it ill.

I have a terrible feeling.

[Just an awful feeling.]

M...maybe I'm blowing it out of proportion. I don't know. It's just, people consider Suicune a deity, it's legendary as far as Pokemon go. It's bothering me.

[Nobody asked for it.

But it's Her again, Botan, ya deathmom.

She's tapping at something off-screen and sort of...perplexed.]

Well, if this calendar is right it's saying I've been in this world for six years now.

I suppose it's time for me to pensively reflect on my time and ask a leading question or whatever to get discussion going.

But honestly I'm amazed, like bloody--[she pauses]--heck, I would have thought I'd be home by now.

[How did that even happen.]

By the by--[she turns the Gear away from herself to point at a shiny Vullaby]--I got this little one after the incident at our latest dance. I'm not sure why, but I felt like I should call her Karin--and she won't stop asking for "the manager" no matter how many times I tell her I'm the manager of this shop.

[Good evening, Pokéland, it's time for the evening news! A serious-looking journalist behind seated behind a studio desk looks directly into the camera to share this bit of information with the community:]

And now, in local news: Two unidentified individuals were arrested for brawling in public earlier today in the streets of Violet Town. We advise viewer caution, as the contents of this video might be upsetting to some.

[The news feed cuts to a shaky phone vid. The audio is muffled at first, but then what is likely a familiar voice to quite a few folks shouts very clearly: "I LOVE IT WHEN YOU BLEED AT ME!"

Then the camera manages to shake the unlikely pair of brawlers into view. One is probably average-sized, slender, with a bare, tattoo'd left arm and short, blue hair. The other is not wearing any sort of shirt even though it's very cold out, and is also built like a tank. Also his face is covered with a weird mask that has a hose attached? It's weird. It's difficult to tell because they're both moving so fast, but he likely has a good foot of height on the woman he's fighting.

"Just. Give. UP!"

The big beef boy is throwing a lot of very heavy, fatal-looking punches that she mostly manages to dodge, though he does get a couple of good hits in. She seems more than equal to taking the hits, though, and actually mostly manages to use the momentum of his large, muscley body against him and to her own advantage on many occasions, twisting one of his arms around behind his back, or snaking a foot out to trip or unbalance him, and even just flipping him right over her shoulder to land with a very loud and very painful-sounding THUD right on his back in the street.

"THANKS FOR THE FACE PAIN!!"

"This is the power of a siren!"]

[The video goes on like that for about thirty seconds before switching back to the newsroom. The serious-looking reporter appears rather ruffled after having witnessed such violence.]

Terrifying! The local Jennies have assured the press that these two violent individuals are now being held safely and securely in the Violet Town jail.

[And then it's on to other news, which isn't going to be written about or detailed as it's not relevant to the street brawl.]

[ooc: If anybody wants to check in with Maya and Krieg, they can be contacted in jail via this post!]

so hey, what's with the weird alien stuff
i mean i figured any kind of weird shadow world would be pretty wonky but this is a whole other story
with the lack of feathers and beak and the weird feet and all that
and it's a lot more colorful than i thought it'd be??
crazy

[She's going to stick to "shadow world" instead of "afterlife", because... mmm. That's not something she's willing to unpack just yet. She's still trying to deal with the fact that Magica sucked her back into her shadow; the whole hit point black with a murder-spell later is something she's just. Going to repress for now.

It's good, it's fine, she's used to trying to repress the horrific stuff that happens to her.]

is waking up in a weird place and then being booted to the curb and told to go on an adventure, like
a thing here
because it's a pretty weird thing
and trust me, i know a lot about weird things

[HhhhheeeeeeEEEYYYYY WORLD OF POKEMON.

IT'S HER. YA DEATHMOM BOTAN.

For once, though, she's not in her shop--wow, she actually gets out once in a while?--Botan appears to have situated herself in Goldenrod's park to let her Phantump kids float around and play. Not just her Phantump, of course, her Mimikyu is sat right next to her on the bench. Emiko, as usual, is very proud of herself for how she put her disguise together--not only is there a cute red bow attached to the ear, she managed to sew heart shapes onto the cheeks this time!]

Well, look at this, another Valentine's Day is coming upon us! As usual, of course I'll offer my services of making sweets should anyone need it, just put in the order, stop by the shop, whatever's most convenient. I know it's probably overwhelming, especially if it's the first time for a lot of you.

[What she's not saying, of course, is that it's her first time actually having someone on this day, too.]

Anybody that's just gotten here and is thinking "why should I be thinking about Valentines at a time like this?" you probably shouldn't, but not to worry! Help is always around the corner--unless it's a Cofagrigus, then that's probably trouble as opposed to help.

[The video doesn't show Boone, instead focused on his Drapion. He's wearing a bright yellow sweater, buttoned up at the back, and is playing with a ball. He throws it in the air and roars happily as it bounces off the wall and hits an unimpressed Toxicroak in the head.]

So, uh. This whole Valentine's Day thing. Where I'm from, we don't really celebrate it. Actually, I never heard of it until now. So I guess I'm just wondering what kind of stuff you guys have done before for a Valentine, and how it went for you. What works, what doesn't, that kinda thing. Know it's kinda up to personal preference, but there's gotta be some things you just shouldn't do on Valentine's Day, right?

[Boone doesn't trust himself not to do some of those things if he isn't warned about them firsthand. His idea of a romantic date would be to go shoot things together and share a bottle of whiskey, after all.]

And I get that it's not a thing in a lot of worlds. Hell, like I said, it's not really a thing in mine anymore. So I'd appreciate being told some things you maybe did just because you cared about someone. Whether it went wrong or right.

[He had a very fussy wife, so he knows some things about being romantic. And inside, really, he's a softie when it comes to people he cares about. But he doesn't want to just do something basic just because it's a holiday. He wants to know how to really make someone's day. And with Lust, that feels hard to do because she seems to have it all already.]

[Pointy stops playing with the ball and comes closer to the camera, and Boone's hand can be seen petting him on the head before the feed cuts.]

[The feed turns on and reveals Richard hunched over, frowning and staring into the device for a minute. Though, that frown turns upside down and a grin replaces it when he realizes he's live.]

Oh, is this thing finally working? Wonderful!

[He holds up the PokéGear and sits up straight, crossing his legs and getting comfortable. He gestures to the scenery around him, which seems to be a ferry's deck.]

You know, I can't believe that this boat doesn't have sails! It's absolutely bonkers! Totally insane! Like, how the heck is this even possible?

[It's wild.]

Also, more importantly, what's up with the music constantly playing in the background? It's like this place wants me to break into song for literally no reason.

...Not that I ever really had any reasons for doing that before, but still. It's just going on and on and on and on.... How does this place expect me to sing for hours on end?
