40 - video/action for Vermilion;
[It was kind of strange, really. After their match in the tournament, Riku hadn't seen hide nor hair of Xion. He thought he might've kept missing her and that she was somewhere in town; the city's huge, after all, and with so many trainers, it'd be easy to lose her in the crowds.
But when he tried contacting her over the Pokégears, he got no response. Then, when he checked his PC, he caught several familiar Pokémon inside what would've been an empty box (the others were safe at the TC, after all). Then there was that note... Really, it didn't take much to add two and two together.
So, when he addresses the network, it's with a somber expression. There's an Arcanine bounding around in the background, but Riku doesn't pay him much mind. Making it to the semis in two cups is worth celebrating, sure, but not when he's lost a close friend.
He hesitates before, finally, he speaks up.]
To those of you that knew her, Xion's gone. I've got Bahamut and a handful of her other Pokémon, but if anyone else wound up with some her roster, could you let me know?
She probably wouldn't want us to worry about her. If anything, she'd probably want us to keep smiling, but I know she made a lot of close friends here. It's only fair of me to give you guys a heads-up.
[There's a pause, followed by a sigh.]
And good luck to everyone else in the tournament.
[With his message complete, he shuts off the gear and wanders out to the docks with Flare by his side. It's still mind boggling to think about. After over a year, he hadn't expected her to just... vanish. And after he beat her in the tourny, too.
How ironic... depressingly so.]

Despite his irritation, Riku masks his feelings with a yawn and an eyeroll. He's not about to let that jerk get a rise out of him! Not today.]
Call me back when you're actually intimidating. Or did you think I missed that broadcast about Crow?

[He really should not be tempting Cobra, but hey. He's gotta take out his anger on someone.]

[Except he was trying there. And he lost. Oops.]

[Because these things take time to plan, and he doesn't have any feasible plans at the moment.]
