[Accidental Video]

[Here's a really dark forest-y feed for your viewing pleasure. It's Ilex Forest so of course it's dark and it's night so that doesn't make it any better. There's a view of a guy dressed in green-yellow shirt, walking around... looking pretty lost, even if he has a map on his hands.]

This map doesn't show me anything right... [The feed goes on as he walks and walks. It seems like someone is following him with the gear.]

Really... if I wasn't sure this was the right map I'd say this is-- [He looks at the label, now.] ... oh. Well, good thing I'm pretty sure this is the right way... right Vulpix?

[Theres's a really, really unsure "Vul" coming from the Pokémon.]

... wait. Isn't that the landmark I put around an hour ago? Don't tell me we've traveled in a circle. [A long sigh. The Vulpix nudges his owner.] Yeah, I know... I should ask for help. Now where's my gear...?

[He looks around his backpack. Nope. Not there. Vulpix nudges his trainer again and that's when Shiraishi looks straight at the gear.]

Hey...!

[Wild Chikorita ran away with the gear (because it got scared) and Shiraishi after them. In the middle of the chase the feed is cut off.]

[Video]

[And the feed opens to an exhausted Shiraishi once he gets his gear back. He's been running after it for... who knows how long. And gotten even more lost.]

I... think I'm in a pinch here. I've been looking for the exit at Ilex Forest to Azalea Town for hours. I just got here for a evening stroll and then couldn't find a way out.

[His Vulpix is curled up next to him, sleeping.] And I have the wrong map, too... so I have no idea where to go.

So uh... what should I do?

Seems like it, unfortunately. I was never meant to come this far alone.

And you're somewhere in the Ilex Forest. That's not too far from where I am, at the moment; I can send my Pidgeot to come look for you, if your straits are that dire.

Well, I've received some advice on how to get back, actually. [Though since its up to him to put it to use... can this end well?] So I should be okay... I just need to find the shrine.

I've heard it's in the center of the forest, though I can't say I've ever seen it myself.

How are you on supplies, Shiraishi-kun? Food and water?

[kyoukashotennis]

Yeah, it is. And I just have to figure what direction is the center of the forest.

[He really has no idea.]

I have a water bottle with me. I think it will last for until I get out.

...Perhaps I'd better send Irene, even so. Do you have your jersey with you?

[... he's not going to get far with saying "There's no need to" is he?]

Uh, yeah... I took it with me in case I would get cold.

[Shiraishi, he remembers the ongoing Second-Years Dead In Caves debacle from many moons ago. This is what Irene was trained for.]

Good, she'll have an easier time of spotting you, then. And if necessary, perhaps she can even help you find the right direction — it's easier to get one's bearings with the help of a bird's-eye view, naturally.

[At least he's not stuck in the Union Cave.]

Well, that would help a lot. I hope I'm not causing you too much trouble though.

[usedlaserbeam]

[Well, considering you'll be causing him a lot more trouble if you die in the wilderness...]

Try to stay put until she can reach you, then. It shouldn't take more than an hour or so, all told.

[Such faith in his survival.]

Alright. Thank you, Yagyuu-san.
