[First the trash and sludge come to life, then the fog keeping anyone from seeing more than five feet in front of their faces rolls in. It would have been enough to drive anyone up the wall, and it certainly did that to Lightning. It was why she'd left the city, trying to get a better vantage point and see just what else they were dealing with.

That was, of course, before the storm hit and turned visibility to less than zero. That was before the gear turns on, showing her face, lips pressed in a tight line as she stands with her back to a tree as the harsh rain plasters her hair and clothes to her skin. She's not happy about this, that's for sure. She didn't turn the gear on by accident, though, because she opens her mouth to say something, but then the screen shakes in time with a low tremor just as she turns, seemingly ready to move somewhere else.

It's not enough of a tremor to knock anything over, but the muddy ground is already slick and Lightning stumbles, gear tumbling from her hand as she curses, trying to regain her balance. She doesn't have a chance to, however, before the very air itself turns a bright blue for what can't be more than half a second, and then the screen goes white with the insanely bright flash of lightning blocking out the camera with the glare and booming roar of thunder covering any sounds but a rumble almost as loud but on a different pitch. It sounds almost like something fell, but...what's out there to fall?

Trees. When the lightning dissipates and the screen returns to normal about a minute later, it's obvious a few trees have fallen over for some reason, most likely a bolt of lightning striking one and making it topple its neighbours. The most obvious one to topple was the one Lightning had been leaning on, so...where is she? Pinned under it. The angle the gear landed at makes it hard to see, but that is most definitely one pink-haired woman pinned hip to shoulder under a decently heavy looking tree, and she's not moving. She doesn't move at all again while the feed continues, even as her Lucario and Haunter force out of their Pokeballs to try and help her, but eventually the rain soaks so deep into her gear that it shorts out, sputtering into static and going dark like a broken TV set.]

[ooc: video/text/audio replies ICly delayed by a few hours. Action for those in the area, and said folks should expect to be ambushed by the Pokemon she had with her as they drag you to help her, but be wary of fallen trees. It is hard to see out there!]

...My world is in a rather bad shape at the moment, you could say. I've not seen most of it, but I could hear the others talk about frozen towns and meteors.

[Not that he understood much of it at the time.]

It would be nice if pleasant days were a repeat occurence instead, for once. It's as if Johto and Kanto are trying to hit each weather extreme every year.

[Meteors would be a nice little reminder of how badly he screwed up, at least. He needs those every so often.]

Such as-

[He stops himself.]

I was about to say Chaos, but if he also loses his powers and inhuman form...

[That could almost be amusing to watch.]

Frankly, I'd be more worried if the Emperor or Kefka appeared, powers or not.

Because he had no interest in manipulating us like the Emperor or torturing us like Kefka. It was as if he merely lived because he had been told to fight Cosmos, and when she died he... stopped caring.

[Those memories are even more distant for him... and yet, it's as if the presence of others from the war keeps them from fading away.]

Perhaps I'm wrong. Perhaps discovering a brand new world would give him a reason to fight, and it might even be against us. But I think not.

...He'd only start with a level 5 Pokémon, if it comes down to it. We could take him.

Reaching him would not be that much of a problem with Fly. As long as we hear of his presence...

...He did stay hidden away for most of the war. We only saw him twice. But in a world not even he would understand?

It'd be even worse if he found himself with Team Rocket, with full access to their resources. At least a new trainer would have to enter Cherrygrove to obtain supplies.

We can undoubtedly both think of quite a few people we'd rather have here.

...I'd rather have him than Zeromus or those girls, but that could simply because because they threatened my wolrd directly. That does influence one's opinion.
