Hello! You've reached Jake English's Pokewhatsit! Unfortunately, I might be too busy to take your call, so please leave a message and I'll get back to you ASAP.
[Jake sounds hoarse, but otherwise like he's okay.]
You would have heard right, chap. I'll be right as rain in a day or two since, ah, I kind of was in the tower a moment ago. Nothing to worry about, a few nicks and bruises, but the thanks goes to both Lady Luck and my Croconaw that I made it out at all.
Yes, I've been checked out. The worst damage was perhaps the smoke inhalation, but that'll go away in a while. None of my Pokemon got a scratch, which was fortunate.
[He pauses.]
In all the confusion, I didn't see your brother, no. It would probably be faster if you called him up.
I did. But he hasn't answered. He's always a mysterious mother fucker, just being where ever he goes. Either I'll get a ring back, or find out some other way. If you see him first tell him to call, damn it.
[He's fretting a bit now. He doesn't have the belief Bro is unkillable anymore. Hasn't in years.]
You should go rest after getting put through that. Take a shower or something, it could help out.

You are one lucky fucker. Have you seen a doctor yet? You should really go check in with one. For you and your pokemon. ...Have you seen Bro?

[Jake sighs a little.]
I will, but I've still got to see if I can help out with the rest of it. There's not been a death toll yet, but....
[He trails off, not really wanting to finish that sentence.]

[Dave goes silent, thinking about it. No death toll yet. His lips press into a thin line as he breathes in.]
Not going to tell you what to do, English. Do what you are going to do, and things will turn out somehow.
audio; 11/22;
[He pauses for a moment, unsure if he's stepping over a line. In the end, Jake decides against offering words of encouragement about Bro's situation.]
We'll be fine. If anything major comes up, we'll give you a call as soon as we can.

Make sure to let John know you're okay if you haven't yet.

[He really does appreciate it.]
I'm glad your brother's alright, too!
