Twenty-fourth Sacrament: Otherworld
There's something wrong.
The footage shows...somewhere. It's not clear where it is. The ground is nothing but rugged rock and there seems to be construction in the distance. But the sky is blood red - not the soft orange of a setting sun but a hellish red. Despite it's glow, the world seemed dark. Almost grimy, with strange rust covering the rocks around. The scene was in front of some kind of ruined building, covered in red rust and scorch damage. The usual background music that played had been replaced with something far more ominous, giving no further clues about where the footage was taking place. It repeatedly corrupts, flashing a strange symbol before cutting back to the scene. Strange cries echoed in the distance.
A Solrock hovered in front of the husk of a building, surprisingly clear of the corruption around it and turning, like a wheel. And with it was Walter. Something was wrong with him as well. His gaze was blank. His clothes were stained with blood. He only turned his head slowly up to the Solrock hovering in front of him and for a moment, as the Solrock's eyes shone, his eyes glowed red. The Solrock stopped turning, looking at him with a blank expression. He murmured to it, only just audible on the video. "I knew you would find me again."
The Solrock's expression didn't change. It's eyes glowed again, and something lifted from Walter's bag - an Ultra Ball. The ball floated towards the Solrock, lightly tapping it. The moment the Solrock disappeared into the ball, the world righted itself; red sky to a starry night, blood and rust vanishing, the mansion disappearing, music fading back to it's usual, cheery tone and the weird echoing cries of strange Pokemon replaced with the chirps of Fletchlings and Wingulls.
Walter collapsed. The Gear fell as well. All that could be seen was the Ultra Ball, landing in front of it. It shook once, then clicked shut.

Again, I'll ask. Does that matter? You can't change it. Even if you think you don't deserve to be here, you are.
And I bet if you asked your pokemon they might have something different to say. They obviously care about you.
no subject
No. Life is not fair. Even in this world, it is not fair.
[ He avoided Harry's mention of his Pokemon, avoiding looking at him. But Assumption nodded, leaning into him and half turning to look at Harry. His voice was faint, and ghostly. ]
We do.
no subject
[Harry looks over at the pokemon who spoke up.]
Good. I'm glad he has you with him.
[He rubs his head.]
Go to a center Walter. Make sure you're alright and try to take care of yourself, if not for yourself, then for your team.
no subject
God sees us all, Harry, even in this world. Be careful.
no subject
I will Walter.
You be careful as well.
[And he'll turn the gear off at that to let the man get to hopefully a centre. He...has a very bad feeling about this.]
