[ Luisa is looking a little haggard when she appears on the screen, a little out of breath and a lot distracted as she looks to somewhere off-screen, wiping away some sweat from her brow with the back of her hand. ]

I know those giant worms are everywhere, but if there's anyone around Olivine that could help, we could really use some too. I've been doing what I can, but -

[Her words are cut off by a rumble through the ground, and Luisa curses under her breath in Spanish before the feed cuts off. ]

(Now Harry is about to head back to the Femblemtroika compound in Olivine after catching a small sand hippo Pokémon at the beach when those giant worms came to the city. One of them popped its head from the street and tried to attack Harry, thinking he was food, but Lily isn’t too happy by this so she fought it off with plenty of Triple Arrows, causing it to squirm away with a bruised pride.

He is lucky that he saw the report on the Orthworm rampage and he didn’t have Veronice with him because the last thing he wants to witness is seeing the worms trying to take her as a snack and Hermione losing it if she had been with him on the scene. As he and Lily scramble to find a way back to the compound, they run into Luisa trying to fend more of them off in the city.)

Whoa! Luisa, are you okay? Those worms have been running amok all over the region but I didn’t expect to run into one so soon. Lily was able to save me before that worm tried to go after me.

[ Luisa releases a rough breath as she wipes the sweat from her brow, calling back
Batalla the Mienshao and Mullido the Hisuian Arcanine after trying to fight off another of the Orthworms. Her two Pokemon are looking a little tired too, but fortunately not too badly hurt when Harry comes to meet them. ]

Oh, Harry. Yeah, I'm okay. There's just been a lot of these worms coming through. Are you okay?

[phoenixwiz]

I’m also alright as well, even though I’m a little shaken up by the earlier surprise worm attack. Didn’t expect those worms to be this fast in burrowing holes underground.

Deci, Decidu-Eye, Eye!

(Lily nods in agreement. It is not just her that Harry has on hand: Godric, Sirius, Zinnia, James and his new hippo Pokémon are in their balls at the moment, awaiting for the moment when he lets them out to fight the worms.)

[neverbreaks]

Yeah, they can move pretty fast underground. That's probably why they keep running back into their tunnels to get away before we can really take care of them.

[phoenixwiz]

Oh gee, that explains why the one Lily fought earlier squirmed back to the tunnel before she could knock them out.

(He already can imagine how fast it must be compared to riding on a broomstick. Now the question is how to prevent them from trying to go back to the tunnels. That is something that has been eluding him for a while now.)

That has me wondering: how are we going to find a way to prevent them from going back to the tunnels? We can’t just jump into the tunnels and fight the Orthworms inside them.

[sassymaru]

I am in Olivine.

What has been effective against these beasts so far?

Voice

[neverbreaks]

We'd really appreciate the help.

From what I've seen so far, they seem to be weak to Fighting, Ground, and Fire. The biggest problem is when they escape back into their tunnels before we're able to really beat them.

[sassymaru]

I suppose delving into the tunnels is out of the question?

Regardless! My Growlithe are at your disposal.

[neverbreaks]

To be honest, I've been a little afraid to head into one.

But thank you. We can use all the help we can get. Are you close to the PokeCenter? There have been a lot of Orthworms coming this way for some reason.

[nastyboy]

[Oh no-]

Luisa!

We are dealing with matters in Kanto, but we left many of our own companions at our home in Olivine! The worms seem weak to fire - and I left two Arcnanine behind! And, ah, many others!

Video

[neverbreaks]

Oh no! Don't worry, Dimitri, I'll check in on them and make sure they're okay.

Have you run into these worms in Kanto too?

Video

[nastyboy]

I meant you could use their assistance as well, but - yes.

[He's going to have to hire someone to go check out his house and make sure the grounds are alright, isn't he... He knows their Pokemon generally have it covered, but these worms are causing large amounts of damage.]

Yes, they're here as well - it seems as though they've been scattered all across the lands!

[neverbreaks]

Oh! Yeah, okay, that'd be a big help, thanks.

[ She's definitely going to make sure they're safe, first and foremost though. ]

Has anyone figured out how they even got here? The news report said they were from another region, right?

Video

[crystalmaster]

Are you okay?!

[Radley looks very concerned. His Pokemon warble.]

[neverbreaks]

[ After another moment or two, Luisa comes back onto the feed, looking even more tired than before, but otherwise all right. ]

Yeah, I'm okay. These worms are just causing a lot of structural damage with all their tunneling underground.

Re: Video

[crystalmaster]

That's terrible. We've been fighting them over here too. They haven't gone to our place, but they were going for the Pokemon Center.

[neverbreaks]

Yeah, some were heading for the Pokemon Center over here too. Maybe there's a lot of iron there for them to eat or something?

[outofsynth]

[Min is helpless to assist given they're in two totally different regions, but he can't help worrying when he sees the video.]

We're still in Kanto. Are you okay?

[neverbreaks]

[ When Luisa comes back online, she's rubbing the back of her neck. ]

Yeah, we're mostly okay here. It's just been a lot of trying to keep them from causing too much damage.

How about you? How are things over there?

[outofsynth]

Okay? Sort of.

Ryan caught one, so that's one less causing damage around here.

[The problem is the ones that are left are still causing plenty of mayhem even without Dune.]

[neverbreaks]

Oh wow, he caught one? I hadn't even thought to try that.

[ She'd been a little too preoccupied with just trying to minimize the damage. ]

Action

[heartofalioness]

Luisa?!

[Ohhhh dang that doesn't sound good. Thankfully, Olivine is only a warp pad away from Ecruteak, so Allura is able to hop through and try to follow the sounds of worm-based chaos.]

Luisa?! Where are you?!

[neverbreaks]

[ Fortunately the warp pad is right inside the Pokemon Center, and Luisa is just outside of it, so she hears Allura just fine. ]

Out here!

[ Where she and her team are facing down one of the Orthworms trying to get to the center. ]

[heartofalioness]

[Ah, good! She's holding her own so far. She rushes over, Pokeballs in hand.]

Any idea of its typing?

[neverbreaks]

[ She's holding her own for the most part, though when Allura comes out to meet her Luisa and her team do seem a bit out of breath. ]

Not entirely sure what about the worms' typing, but Fire, Ground, and Fighting seem to work pretty well against them.
