[Goooood morning Johto! Have a Jake.]

You know, Cianwood is a pretty neat island all on its own, but....

[He frowns a bit as he looks around.]

It's not...what I expected. Then again, I come from a more tropical island, so perhaps this is normal? I'm used to a more rainforest kind of setting, and this...certainly isn't it.

[Jake shrugs.]

I mean, I'm not complaining about it or anything like that! Maybe it's for the best, though. I might have gotten homesick.

[How you get homesick for Murder Island is a mystery for the ages.]

I'm about to go up against the Gym Leader, too! [He takes out a Pokeball and opens it to release Robin Williams the Emolga from it.] I think Robin--

[All of a sudden, he hears a noise. Jake looks utterly confused because he's pretty sure that nobody in his party has a Pichu, and then, abruptly, the Pichu is chasing Robin all over him. He flails, loses his balance, and falls. The Gear falls with him to show that he's hit his head against a rock and he's out like a light.

1-hit KO! CASANOVA gets a boosted 250 exp!]

[ Generally speaking, being awakened by one of your Pokemon before your ready is an unpleasant experience. Being awakened by one of your Pokemon to observe another of your Pokemon that should be in his ball in a broadcast you're fairly sure is being shot in another region that just so happens to end with one of your kids being knocked out by said Pokemon? There is no 'arguably' about it. It's worse and worse still given that some time has elapsed since the initial broadcast if her clock reads right. It's enough to have Valeria's eyes widening and head lifting as she reaches to take the Gear from her Riolu and push herself up to better observe the screen. ]

Jake! Jake, are you there? [ Please be there. Please be okay. ]

[Yeah, he's up and sort of concussed, but okay!]

Hullo, Val. Yes, yes, I'm fine and dandy, really!

[Slurring your words when you haven't consumed alcohol is not considered okay, Jake.]

[ No, no, slurring your words when you haven't consumed alcohol is not okay and she'll be looking him over with a scrutinizing look. The only thing that's keeping her from calling Dirk is how soon he responded and the fact that she's pretty sure Dirk got to him way sooner than she replied. ]

Jake, you're slurring your words. Have you been to a Pokemon Center? Is Dirk with you?

[ Because it never hurts to be doubly sure. He doesn't look too bad, but... ]

[Jake frowns a little and has to think.]

Yyyes and no. Apparently, I've got a concussion, but I should be okay in a bit. As for Dirk, I've no idea where on heaven and earth he rambled off to.

[Susan clears her throat off camera.]

Oh, right! Are you missing a Pichu, perchance?

You have a concussion and you're up and moving about.

[ Do you hear the hypocritical disapproval in Valeria's voice, Jake? Do you hear it? It's there. It's also quite hypocritical given that she's done the same thing, just... not in this world. ~~Yet.~~ ]

He was there at least, right? [ Because knowing Jake is at least Dirk Certified to move about would make her feel a bit better. Not that Nurse Joy isn't a qualified expert, b -- and there's the question. Her expression falls pretty flat. ]

Yes. Yes, I am. I believe you have him. He should answer to 'Casanova' and he should know very well what this tone of voice means. [ Not to mention the use of his full name. ]

[Yes, he does, and he's not exactly listening to it.]

Oh, yes! Along with a girl named Yumi. They took me to see the Nurse and all that jazz.

[Jake starts shaking his head, and then stops because that just makes things swim and he doesn't like that. Not one bit.]

Susan's got him. I'll send him along to you via the PC if you send his ball?

[He's so glad Val's not talking to him like she is with Casanova.]

Okay. You're following the nurse's orders?

[ Of course she's going to ask. Just in case. She doesn't want Jake overexerting himself with a concussion, not that she thinks Dirk would let him. She'll be pausing now that the subject is back on Casanova. ]

I'll send you his ball. Do you have any idea why he stowed away with you guys?

[ She's got an idea, given how Casanova was acting at prom, but... ]

Absotively posilutely!

[Sometimes, it's hard to tell if it's him or the concussion talking.]

No, he really only jumped on me when I let Robin out of her ball. [Jake frowns a little.] Does Casanova not like her or something?

As long as you are, I suppose it's fine.

[ But she'll be crossing her arms under her chest all the same. Really, Jake... but then, Jake isn't the only one she's concerned with at the moment. She pauses. ]

I... can't imagine Cas would've stowed away if he didn't like her, Jake. In fact, it might be just the opposite if he's only now making his presence known now that you've let her out.
