[So Shiro said he was heading up to Victory Road and the Elite 4 Challenge. That was ... just after December 25th. There has been very little contact since then. What happened? Did he die?]

[Well. Judging from the recording now? He looks like he wishes that’s what happened. He is very clearly in a Pokémon center. In bed, miraculously, wrapped up like a burrito with his Umbreon firmly draped over his shoulders like a scarf.]

Hey guys.

[He sounds like he has cotton shoved up his nose. And gargled gravel. This is the worst cold in the history of colds, clearly.]

Little detour happened. I’m... still up on Victory Road. I’m fi — [Umbreon growls. Shiro looks resigned.] I’m not hurt. Just. Underestimated the weather.

We’re safe. At the Pokémon center here. So uh.


Probably won’t be back until sometime next month. At this rate. Sorry — didn’t mean to worry anyone.

[But hey, this way he won’t be around for love day, right? Isn’t that the whole reason he ran off to fight the E4? Yep. But we’re not saying this out loud.]

So.

What’d I miss?
