The network part - video
[The recording had started before Mikasa had even centered the camera on herself. Catching the hustle and bustle of a group of pokemon, all seeming a bit antsy. In particular was one big boy that a few people might recognize. All of the others out were Mikasa's own pokemon, standing guard and near their master. The Luxio and Riolu sniffing at the remains of their campsite. The normal playfulness was missing as they got to work in the early morning light.]
Does anyone know about a sneaky pokemon near the cave on...route 32?
[Very stern. For the past few months she'd just started managing to emote again, but that progress was gone now.]
Yachi was sleeping, but now she's gone. All her things are still here.
[Just vanished into the night. Right near the big cave, Yachi wouldn't have gone in willingly but...]
Around, the nearby routes
[It felt like it'd been a long time since Mikasa had been optimistic. Yet it'd been less than a year. A mere year ago, she'd have thought Yachi was fine and left looking to the adults after sending her message. Not now though. Mikasa hadn't really seen aggressive pokemon, but she'd heard stories of wolves and boars back home.
It was enough to push her into taking her pokemon and Ume and looking for Yachi alone, in the hopes she'd find her friend. And that she'd find her friend fine and well and not a body. Ume would help. Yachi's Meganium hadn't wanted to return to his ball and Mikasa didn't have it in her to force him. Besides, he was carrying Yachi's pack. While Riolu and Luxio tried to find a scent, the latter's coat lit up when they ventured into the darker areas.
Mikasa was so determined, that she didn't even realise she'd scaled a near cliff. She'd just kept moving, one foot at a time.]
Union cave
[Eventually though, they'd ran out of options. The only place left to check was the cave that had been looming over the search. There had been no scent trail to it, but there was nothing to indicate Yachi was anywhere else. So in they went.
Not that she could go far. The dark she could handle, but the water and some of the large boulders proved too much. She couldn't swim very well and hadn't brought a pokemon that could with her and not matter how much she pushed. Those boulders weren't moving for her.
So she ducked, trying to find a gap that Yachi might have fit through. Not caring about the dirt, her clothes were already dirty, a little more was fine.]
Route 32 pokemon center
[What wasn't fine was the food situation. She'd had enough supplies to last her a few days without needing to go back to society. Not that she'd actually returned to society when she was running slow, she'd just gone to the nearest pokemon center. Hungry and covered in dirt and scratches, scowling as she stared up and worried Nurse Joy. Though Mikasa seemed mostly impassive to the Nurse's concerns, just standing there and waiting for her pokemon back.]

It... it's a possibility.
I know that's a painful thing to hear and I wish I could make it different, but sometimes when people come back to this world, they don't remember having been here. But-- even when that happens, that doesn't mean you can't rebuild your friendship! Jean has been here twice. the second time, he didn't remember the first time at all, but we become good friends again either way.
[Of course, them having come from the same world helped. But he's trying to give Mikasa hope without pretending it isn't an issue.]
no subject
Hesitating.]
Have...Have I been here before?
no subject
[People have been coming here for over a decade, so theoretically there was always the possibility Mikasa had been here before Armin had ever arrived here, but if that was the case, then he had never heard about it.]
no subject
Would she get used to it? Armin seemed to be.
There was one last small question.]
Why is Ume here but the other pokemon aren't? [Where they go?]

Like when you get seven pokemon? [Even before he'd answered, she was nodded. Giving a little sniff as she squared her shoulders. Standing straight. Firm.] I couldn't find her.
