034 - Though we know neither their names nor faces, they are waiting for us...

[Having retreated after figuring that Charizard doesn't stand much chance against Milkbot, Ash has arrived home and is on the phone.]

Okay, so there was some kinda generator in the dairy being powered by... y'know, I don't even wanna think about it... anyway, it's broken now, so they're free now I think... I hope...

Of course, I'm guessing you've all seen that giant robot by now? It's the milkman's. I don't think there's much I can do now at this point... Even though I've got all my Pokémon, I'm still useless...

It isn't useless to warn people about things, just in case they are not aware.

[bestwishes]

I guess so. And I did some decent damage to that generator before I was knocked out...

[arslansenki.livejournal.com]

I'm... not sure what you mean but, I think that's a good thing. Do you know what way this, um, robot? is moving?

[bestwishes]

I'm not really sure which direction it was going...

[bluefrompallet.livejournal.com]

Hey, kiddo~! If you've got a minute, wanna tell me what you discovered in the dairy? So the birdies and I know why we're pitching a fit~.

[bestwishes]

There was a generator. I think it was powered by... ... people's souls or somethin' like that.

[bluefrompallet.livejournal.com]

... Souls? How the heck did they get people's souls into a generator?

[bestwishes]

Well, uh... They were, well... I think they were the souls of the... the people who have been droned...

[Speaking of useless, your not!bro is dragging supplies down into the basement and is greatly wishing he had ever finished turning it into a bunker.]

Ash, w-we should probably get everyone downstairs.

["Everyone" being Crowe, Ash, and the pokemon. Not!dad can get stomped on for all Crowe cares at the moment.]

[bestwishes]

Wait, you mean it's heading in this direction?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

It's hundreds of feet tall. It's headed everywhere.

[bestwishes]

Maybe I should heal my Pokémon and head back out then...

[no-no-really.livejournal.com]

Nono doesn't think you're useless!

[bestwishes]

Really, you think so?

[no-no-really.livejournal.com]

In times like this, nobody is useless, because everybody can do their part!

The truth is, the most important person in the world was once a person who didn't think she could do anything. Because of that, Nono knows that you can do a lot to help, too.

[bestwishes]

Well, if all my other Pokémon have a chance to recover, I guess I could do something...

[unfortunately, Rin never did get that far into the dairy.]

Who's free? What? ♪

But jeez, nobody could fault you for not being able to fight that thing...

[In fact, Rin's home for the exact same reason. And she's none too happy about it, either.]

[bestwishes]

Oh uh... The souls used to power the generator?

[roadroller]

........

[the sound of tap-tapping on the reciever]

Ummmmmmmmmmmm. ♪

I'm sorry, and this is really weird, but I could have sworn you just said soul powered generator or something like that... ahahaha.... ♪

[kuichigiru.livejournal.com]

Powered by what?

[bestwishes]

... People's souls?

[kuichigiru.livejournal.com]

[ ... ]

How do you know that?

[noneed-2worry.livejournal.com]

Ash, be careful!

[bestwishes]

Of course I will! No need to worry, right?

[noneed-2worry.livejournal.com]

I think we should definitely worry in a situation like this!
