[The feed begins with a series of snapshots. It starts with images of a war-torn battlefield lined with giant crystals, Team Aqua and Magma grunts and hordes of Pokémon and trainers alike.]

This world isn't safe.

[The images shift. New snapshots appear of Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon, taken from a safe distance above, but distinct in that they are indeed giant, glowing monsters.]

What happened last week is proof of that. You may all be content to enjoy a carefree lifestyle, but if it weren't for divine intervention, life as we know it would have ended with a whimper.

Together, we were able to hold off Team Aqua and Magma's forces, but the battle doesn't end there. If you could make a difference in the protection of this world, would you do it?

[The message ends there. About a half hour later, another text appears on the network, this time from a non-anonymous source.]

So, I think we all learned something valuable from that mess down at Tohjo: Don't summon giant lizards and whales to start the apocalypse. God doesn't like it.

There's a lot I could say. It was a busy few days, but if you look past all the legendaries, the explosions, and those cornball teams, there are two things that stick out to me: the weird power up some of our Pokémon got and the Pokémon god himself.

[Case in point? Here's an image of a Mega Sharpedo getting punched in the nose by a Mega Charizard X.]

So, what do you guys think that power was? Did any of you get a straight answer from Arceus? And how about that fairy type?

PGC filter:

By the way, looking for a status report from all remaining members. With so many of us gone, we're gonna have to shuffle the squads. That's also why I sent out a recruitment message.

Great. Apart from Team Rocket, we now have those two to worry about. They didn't look like they got along, though. We'd be lucky if they keep it situated in Tojo falls. It'll be worse if the next one happens around both Johto and Kanto.

What I don't get is why we're always the ones who have to pick up after them. The locals barely ever lift a finger. Not even the ones who count, like the Elite Four.

So this wasn't the first time. But then again, if it was, I didn't think the PGC would be that necessary. Has anyone told you where the Elite 4 are during times like this?

Nope. Everyone's pretty tight-lipped when it comes to the Elite Four in general.

I just don't get it. These people seem more than happy to just sit around and twiddle their thumbs while everything goes up in smoke.

[ Well that's totally not concerning at all. ]

I can only assume the Elite 4 is trying to do something about us being brought here... but maybe that's wishful thinking on my end.

Meanwhile we're left to pick up the pieces.

At this rate, that really wouldn't surprise me.

That, or they think they're above getting their hands dirty. Maybe I'll ask them next time the prom rolls around. Could help explain a few things.

Hopefully they've got a good reason. It just seems a little irresponsible, is all.

Anything else you needed, by the way?

And totally clueless. I really can't imagine what goes through their heads...

Not right now. Just figured it'd be good to check in, see how things are going. The Rockets have been quiet lately, but I hope this doesn't give them ideas...

Hope you don't mind!

[in_praetego]

Hopefully this isn't the calm before the storm.

Whatever the case, I'll keep my eyes peeled anyway. I think Rin and I will be staying in Goldenrod for a while so if something comes up, I'll let you know.
