[Jimmy comes home from his 'vacation' in a great mood, which quickly breaks entirely when he gets in to a house full of distraught Pokemon and no Ib. He knows it happens. He's talked to plenty of people who've lost friends and family, but it's something else altogether to come home and find what you've started to think of as your family gone.]

[Again.]

[He's been here long enough to know he should let people know. Ib has friends. But making an announcement makes it real. He puts it off for a good chunk of the morning, busying himself with making sure all the Pokemon are okay. He's glad he doesn't keep alcohol in the house, he's already wanting a drink. Finally, he slumps down on the couch, various Pokemon on either side of him.]

Uh...

Ib's gone home.

I dunno when, I've been gone for a week. I just came home and...

[His voice chokes and he knows if he says anymore he'll start crying over the 'gear and he doesn't want to do that.]

Uh...anyway, I dunno what to do now. I'm looking after her Pokemon, there's a bunch, and I guess the house is mine now... This is way too much house for one guy. You know I only moved in 'cause I wanted to make sure somebody was taking care of her right.

I know she's just back home, but...I dunno. Feels like I oughtta do something...

[He takes a long, shaking breath.]

I love that little girl.

How many gym badges do you have...? That helps them to respect you more, I think.

None, yet. I just started actually training real recently.

Hm...that could be part of the reason then? In the games, high-level Pokemon that belonged to other people would only listen to you for sure after you had certain gym badges...so, I'd focus on getting one or two badges!

I...I don't really know how it works.

But I was gonna be doing all that anyway, once I had a team...

Not a lot of people do off the bat. I just played a lot of video games growing up...

Yeah, that's still all moonspeak to me, so....

And you don't gotta try and explain, plenty of people have tried.
