Listen up. I'm sure you all saw that little threat about "war" in Olivine, so I'm gonna say straight up: don't do anything rash. I bet you anything that he wants to lure us there. Thinks we'll be clueless enough to rush out and reveal ourselves with the smallest threat.

Now, those bombs aren't small by any means, but if we're gonna protect Olivine to the fullest, we need a plan. This isn't something we can charge into and expect an easy victory. With stuff like this, there's always a catch.

So my question for you guys is this: how many of you are dead set on going to Olivine? I think we should be careful about how many of our members we send. The last thing we need's to reveal all our cards at this stage, especially when we're still trying to rebuild the Corps. More importantly, we've got more to worry about than engaging this guy. What about evacuations? Giving the residents a heads up? The locals don't really keep tabs on the 'Gears from what I can tell. There's a few ways we can approach this.

So, I'm gonna open up the floor to any suggestions, plans, or whatever else you want to bring to the table. The PGC's a group effort, and every one of your opinions counts.

So, I already mentioned this to Rainbow Dash, but I figured I might as well clear things up for all the other newbies coming in. A lot of people suggest booking it to Cianwood to get Fly, but here's a fun fact: You can save yourselves weeks of travel if you hitch a train to Saffron instead.

Sabrina gives out the Fly HM if you haven't earned it already, so why waste time when you can hop from Goldenrod to Saffron in a few hours? And if that's not enough incentive, Misty's badge lets you use Surf outside of battles, Surge's lets you use Strength, and Erika's lets you use Fly on the off chance you missed Falkner.

[He smirks, tossing a Pokéball up and down.]

Heck, if you wanted to, you could Fly over the bike path and grab Surf from Janine for good measure. So, basically, you can region hop and get everything you need to make travel a breeze. Besides, Kanto's worth exploring on its own merits. Bigger cities, mountains, caves, and volcanoes... Without ice to make you slip.

Just some food for thought.

Listen up. This is urgent.

I just got back from investigating Saffron City. Turns out Cobra Commander launched an attack on the gym, and that's not all. He was using Pokémon attacks.

Yeah. I'm just going to let that sink in.

I don't know what Team Rocket's up to, but if one of their members can use Pokémon attacks, what does that say about the rest of them? The fact that he attacked one of the Gyms doesn't settle well, either. I managed to jump in during his attack, and my team held him off for the most part, but the place is still a wreck, and he got away.

Just stay on guard. I don't know what they're planning, but things are getting too weird for my tastes.

If anyone else has news from Goldenrod or any of the other cities, I'd be glad to hear it.


[The rest of the day, Riku will be trying to rest up over at the Center. Last thing he needs is to worry his friends any more than he already has. Between his injuries, the violent red blotches of skin, his light headednesss and now what feels like weird bumps on his head, something's... definitely amiss.]

[ooc: Takes place a few hours after the Saffron Gym attack. Tags will be slow, since I still have backtags to get through here and in other games, but I figured it'd be good to throw this up.]
