[The feed turns on to reveal the roof of a cave. It's moving pretty steadily, suggesting that whoever is holding the 'Gear is either running or riding something. Eventually Larry's face comes into view, and he looks pretty ecstatic. Wobbuffet can be seen behind him, with a similar expression.]

WHOOOOO!

Wobbaaaaaaaaa!

There is nothing cooler than riding on a Pokémon, I gotta tell you. I'm glad I found Onix, otherwise I think I woulda been stuck in this cave forever! She really knows her way around though!

[Larry's newly captured Onix roars proudly. Really, she has been a big help. Larry probably would have been screwed if he didn't accidentally step on her a while back.

Larry rubs the back of his head in embarrassment, recalling the event. Then he snaps his fingers.]

Oh yeah, Barney! Sorry I disappeared on you back there. As soon as I heard that Iris magically got sent by Azalea, I kinda...rushed out of town without thinking. I'll be back for you when I pick up Iris, and with Onix, I can get around even faster. You'll have the luxury of riding the Onix Express!

[He looks up for a moment, then grins at what he sees.]

Finally, the light at the end of the tunnel! Freedom, here we come! You hear that, Iris? We're almost there!

I can't wait to see the snow everyone's talking about. I wonder if it'll be as pretty as it was up at the temple...

[Suddenly, the darkness gives way to light, and the snowy scenery fills the screen. Larry looks mystified.]

Dude...!

[Suddenly, a piercing roar interrupts him.]

W-Wait Onix, what are you--! Oh nooooooo!

Wobbaaaaaaaaa...!

[Onix isn't exactly a fan of the snow, and as soon as she hits it, she screeches to a halt, sending Larry and Wobbuffet flying forward face-first into the snow.

As soon as Larry makes impact with the ground, the feed cuts out.]

[[OOC: Larry's PokéGear will still work, he'll just be answering at least ten minutes late because he really did get knocked out there.]]

Yeah... I'm fine. Ungh, my head. [Proceeding to rub the nice bump on his forehead.]

Sorry about that though. I just couldn't leave poor Iris all by herself.

[Barney doesn't believe you]

Better put some ice on that.

Hey, no worries. At least you didn't go on to Goldenrod without me.

[Psh, he's totally telling the truth. Just ignore his obvious pained expression.]

Yeeeah, I think I'm gonna do that when I get into town.

[He grins.] I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I did.

Or, you could use the snow. That might help.

I would hope not.

Y-Yeah... [He's just now realizing that he's freakin' freezing. He is definitely going to have to buy some boots and a heavier coat when he gets to Azalea.]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

You sure you're okay?

[video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

N-Never better!

[Oh, who is he kidding.] Let's just say I'm gonna head to the next PokéCenter ASAP after this.

[video]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that seems like a good idea.

[He's already starting to get up...but it's going to be a slow process. He's a bit wobbly.]

So what've you been up to, Barney?

[video]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Hanging out mostly. Enjoying the snow.

[video] Oh god, that icon is precious.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

I wish I could say the same! I uh...got introduced to it a little roughly.
