Has anyone seen someone named Jimmy around lately? Blond hair, and um|

He was riding on a big giant lizard when I first met him, but one of his pokemon ended up in my computer the other day without any messages attached to it, so I was wondering if he meant to send it to someone else or it was intentional. I haven't been able to get in contact with him since then, and the last time I saw him in person was in Goldenrod.

Its name is Bubblegum, and the pokegear said it was something called a Ditto. I was told that one is supposed to be a favorite of breeders, but that's all I really know so far.

Anyway, if anyone knows where he is or does see him, could you let him know that Bertolt is trying to get a hold of him?

*...oh, dear. Sion replies with video because text seems far too impersonal for this*

Usually, when that happens, it means that person has been returned to their own world.

_{[As reluctant as he is, it's... probably easier to turn it to video on his end too. Of course he doesn't have to look at it, right? He can just prop it up on his bag and let it broadcast a nice little view of the trees in Ilex Forest, and occasionally his Growlithe and Houndour bouncing in and out of the frame.]}

Not all the time though, right? It's... entirely possible his gear could've gotten damaged.

It's doubtful. And damaged gear wouldn't cause pokemon to be suddenly sent to someone.

*other than people leaving, a person had to do so deliberately... which made the chances of error that much smaller*

Besides, even if a person's gear were damaged, I believe their ID would still be registered as existing.

I met him in Goldenrod, though I haven't seen him since. I'll keep an eye out.

[He hasn't really heard much about inheriting Pokemon... Whoops.]

Thank you. I'm a little confused why he'd send me one of his if it was intentional.

_{[He so desperately wants to believe he's still here so he can get a proper explanation, but he can't be in denial forever.]}

Why? Aren't you friends? [He sort of got that impression, anyway.]

I wouldn't mind being friends with him if that's what you mean? We only met once, but he was nice enough...

Oh. Well.

That is odd. What did you get, exactly?

That's why I'm kind of confused.

But, uh. It's a Ditto. They're... really weird. How do you send pictures on these again? I can show you what I mean.

They're the little purple blobs, right?

Yeah, the ones that look like a glob of

Uh. Goop. It's really hard to hold onto them.

Perhaps he just thought you could keep a better grip on them?

If that's the case, that probably wasn't the best idea. I thought I lost it more than once already because it likes to turn into things. It even turned into the angry ball my friend has and I thought it was Blitz for ages.

[An angry ball named Blitz?!]

You're friends with Jean?

You know him?

We've spoken, yes. A couple of charmers, those two. [His sarcasm is affectionate, honest.]

I've known him for about three years. We didn't exactly grow up together, but we've been through a lot.

Then you're from the same world? Good. I'm glad you both have that.

Yeah, it... makes things a lot easier, I think. A couple more of our squadmates are here too.

_{[It's still pretty rough without their respective besties, though.]}

I got one of his Pokemon as well. He's...probably been sent home. That's usually how it goes when this happens.

Are you sure something didn't... happen to his gear? I mean, what happens if a pokemon eats it?? or it gets broken??

I suppose it's possible, but I've had this happen before. I'd been travelling with my brother, and one morning he was gone and some of his Pokemon had been sent to me by PC. And it's been the same with other people that went home as well.

If he's|

I|

Why would I end up with one of his if he went home? We've only met once.

It's hard to say. I once got Pokemon from someone I had never even met; this place doesn't always make sense in any regard.

What happens to the ones people don't get?

I don't know. It's possible they go back to the wild, or maybe get transferred to trainers in other regions somehow.

Do you think there's ever a chance of the ones that go, uh, back to the wild finding whoever had them before? If they came back?

_{[What happened to the ones he had when he was here before??]}

I guess it's possible? I don't know how likely it is, though. I disappeared for a while myself, and of all the Pokemon that didn't go to people I knew the only one I've found again is my starter, Eddie. And it's not like I haven't been looking...

I think that means he went home.

That's... what that usually means, at least...

Do you think he'll be back? If he's gone?

_{[Granted Bertolt himself actually came back, he just doesn't remember a thing about it.]}

I don't know. He might be, but sometimes it's... easier to prepare as if they're not going to.

Oh no, Jimmy's gone home?

[Cause boy does that sound familiar.]

Have you tried contacting him over the network?

Not until now, unless you mean privately? I tried to send him a message when I found out that the Ditto I had was from him.

[And she can switch to text for the sake of being less awkward. And not looking sad all over the network yet again.]

Yes, I mean sending a message directly to his ID.

Did it

say something about his ID number not being active anymore

When you messaged him.
