[There's a really worried Eevee on the network today. She seems to have a problem and is now seeking for help through the gear. Humans did it, so maybe she could be able to get some help as well?]
My trainer has been sleeping for a week in a row. I know humans need a lot of sleep, but... this can't be normal, right?
[She looks worriedly over at the bed that's behind her.]
I mean, we've tried to wake him up a few times, but it hasn't helped at all. What should we-- Oh!
[Sounds can be heard from the bed. The Eevee looks delighted! Shiraishi was waking up. He was alright after all-!
... but why did it sound like Shiraishi was... crying?
Without saying anything else, the Eevee flicks her tail and shuts the video off. It's best if no one sees this.]
[action]
[Shiraishi had always imagine that going home being away for a few months would be a happy thing that would make him smile a long time afterward. This wasn't the case this time. He had visited home, and while meeting with his friends and family had been a nice and good and happy thing... there had been things that weren't nice at all.
Their team... Shitenhouji had lost.
He had felt so happy when they had gone to the Nationals. Even happier when they reached the Semifinals... and then they fell down, or more like , they were thrown down. They didn't even win once. Rikkai just took three victories and that was the end of Nationals for Shitenhouji.
Somehow, Shiraishi had managed to keep himself composed when he had been there with his team. He had thought that they'd pull it through, somehow. There was always next year. These thought had been keeping him standing proudly at the other side of the court. He didn't show too much sadness in front of the other team or his own.
Then he had waken up and now that he was all alone, back in the Pokémon world, he let his feelings out slightly. He hadn't meant to... but it was hard not to. He hadn't felt this bad in months.
On top of feeling bad about the loss, he was also rather worried about Kenya, his best friend. He hadn't been his normal-self during his match and he was sure losing must have affected him somehow. He felt like he needed to be there to support him... but he wasn't.
A sound of a Pokémon startled Shiraishi away from his thoughts. Two of his Pokémon were on the bed, looking worriedly at him. Budew and Eevee. Shiraishi wiped his eyes and smiled slightly.]
... Hey. I'm sorry for worrying you.
[Budew looked Shiraishi, worried still, before making a determined nod and eating a Rare Candy she had been keeping with her for level up. Then there was a bright white light and instead of a Budew, a Roselia was standing on the bed. After a while she took a few steps closer and wrapped her hands around Shiraishi's arm.
Shiraishi wasn't really sure what to say in his confusion, except:] You're really beautiful.
[He was going to be fine, eventually, since he had such great friends beside him, even in Johto.
He just hoped it would be the same for Kenya in their own world.]
[audio]
[Half an hour later a new post comes to the network. It's a voice only though, as Shiraishi doesn't feel like he could do a video post today.]
It seems that I've been asleep for a while. Though how I got from Goldenrod to Violet during it is... quite a mystery. [He'd probably suggest sleepwalking if he was in the mood of joking right now.] Though it's weird that I was only away from Johto for a week. It felt like I was away for months.
[He'd also say "I think I visited home", but it's not a subject he wants to discuss right now.]
Anyway, I'm back and sorry if I worried anyone. [Pause.] I'm probably going to stay in Violet and find a job for now.
[And without any further notices, he'll cut the feed short.]
[After his audio feed he can be found from near Pokémon Center. He's pretty much in his own thoughts, but feel free to bother him if you'd like.]
(ooc: Back from his canon update! Replies to the video post can either be posted from Eevee or by Shiraishi with a half a hour delay as he sees it after he posts the audio part.
It's also okay to meet him between the two posts in the Center, if you'd like.)

no subject
But of course it's not as huge difference as your age stuff with Miyuki.
no subject
Though it could really be more awkward. I could be younger than her...
no subject
[... that's ... an excellent point, Shiraishi!]
Oh, hey true. Even Ed could be the real little brother here...
no subject
The real little brother?
no subject
Well... He... was about this tall [Winry puts her hand somewhere below her neck] and his little brother was a lot taller until a few months ago. So, it's not like short boys really look like big brothers.
no subject
no subject
no subject
[Though his expression changes a little. It's not "I miss them", but more like "Good thing they're not here"... it's not that he doesn't miss them or love them, it's just... complicated.]
Do you?
no subject
[Well, until she met people like Paninya and May, or maybe even May will be like a sister to her one day.]
Not biological, no - but I grew up with Ed and Al, so it has kind of felt like I have siblings.
no subject
[Seriously. Take them. Except no, he loves them, but... sometimes he wished he had brothers.]
I know what you mean. My whole team feels like a family. So it's like having a lot of brothers.
no subject
I think you can keep your sisters because they are your sisters, and I'll just see if Al ever gets married and then I'll treat the girl as a sister.
Wow. I guess playing in the same team really does that to you. [It's nothing like mechanics, or well, Winry wouldn't exactly say that most mechanics feel like her family... orz]
Oh right, I have a non-biological little sister too, though our last meeting was... unhappy. [She gives him one of those 'Don't ask' looks, just because well, it's about the Hughes family.] But their whole family [which will never even be whole again, but you don't need to hear sad stories] was very welcoming and I was kind of like unofficially adopted to their family. But she's the most adorable sister ever, so I have absolutely no experience of sisters who are not so nice.
no subject
[At least that's true for most of the teams.
He listens to the talk again and nods.]
That does sound nice. I'm sort of envious since I... don't think I know what's it like to have a really adorable sister. I mean, I love them both, but... [Just. No.] They both do have their nicer moments, but mostly it's hard to be the only guy... and in the middle.
no subject
[Laughing.]
You should be, you should be! [Envious, yes.] Maybe they'll be adorable once you all grow older and full maturity steps into the picture. Isn't that when siblings usually start getting along really well? Though Al's always been adorable too... Oh hey, we're opposites; you're the only guy in the middle and I'm the only girl in the middle. So I guess I know a little about what you mean.
no subject
I can certainly hope. I think my imagine on girls will change too much if they keep it up. [He sighs.] Being in the middle can sometimes be difficult.
no subject
It's more like something fun to do with local friends or citizens there. Though I don't know, there might have been teams, but I don't know about them.
Don't worry, you all will change a bit when you become older and then they'll be great to have around. Mm, and being the only girl - or the only boy - can sometimes be difficult too.
no subject
I really, really hope that's the deal... but well, I'd love them even if they wouldn't change.
no subject
Well, do you think that you'll be like you are now after a few years?
no subject
I'm not sure. I guess I see myself still playing tennis... or maybe studying at the university.
no subject
Not much change there, huh? Not that my life has changed much either, not ever since it turned upside down... But growing up mentally comes along with everything too! I can't believe how much I grew up in a year or less.
[Winry used to be a crybaby, after all. Nowadays she's ... not and instead she'll tell her thoughts and ideas and everything else. Well, being quiet and letting Ed and Al do whatever they wanted was not such a good idea anyway.]
no subject
Growing up mentally stronger is always a good thing. I hope I'll experience the same. [Well, he might grow a bit too strong on that part, but he doesn't know that yet.]
no subject
Hey, you don't seem the type to not mature at all as time passes. [Or maybe she can say this because she knows your future self.] It'll be fine, I'm sure you'll experience the same in your own adventure.
no subject
[And he does wonder if he talks like that because she's met the older version of him, but he won't say anything about that. The subject is too confusing anyway.]
I guess I'll see that for myself sooner or later.
no subject
[It's kind of ironic, because Ed told her to get out of Amestris and then she wakes up in mom's house / here...]
You will. I'm sure and meanwhile we can enjoy the fact that you're awake now. Anything you want to do?
no subject
Ah... right. [...] I might as well check in to a hotel, since I'm here.
