Keith and Romelle are gone.

I've got their starters. And Keith's Skarmory. If anyone has any of their other pokemon I'd appreciate knowing.

Going to Cianwood City. Missed that badge. Sorry to anyone waiting on the Island.

That's all.

[That's. Really all. That's all he knows how to say about the situation. All he thinks to say without dumping more feelings out.]

[So clearly... it's back on the road.]

I appreciate that.

I'll be fine. I've got my pokemon with me. They're doing the best they can.

Even if you aren't fine that's okay! It's okay to not be fine.

It's okay to be sad.

Things will get better!!! And one day you'll smile big and who knows, maybe they'll come back!

[No, it's not okay to not be fine. He has to be. Always. That's just the way things work. How they have to work.]

[He can't just say that, though...]

Thank you, Mabel.

I really do hope they come back. They deserve... somewhere peaceful.

[Oh Shiro..]

I'm sure they will! Just watch! It may take awhile but they will eventually.

This place seems to like keeping alllll of us here. I bet it's because our Pokémon love us a bunch.

Yeah? You think that's the reason?

[Let's talk about that instead of everything else.]

[That works for her. Let's talk about happy things!]

Definitely! Pokémon are super awesome so obviously their super awesome love for their trainers and friends can do anything!

That would explain why horses breathe fire, I guess. Power of friendship.
