Tenth Station: There's a Chill in the Air... [Video, Mountain - High Elevations]

[lunchleader]

[For the past few weeks, even shortly before the Elite Four showed up, some citizens of Union may have noticed that a certain Fairy-type hasn't be around the area. Which is both strange and increasingly worrying. After all, he's the type to have gladly wanted to fight alongside the Gods during that horrific battle.

But anyone worrying and wondering about him will soon find their answer, in the emergency broadcast being received not long after the battle ends.]

...to Union... Right to...nion! Come in, guy--zzzsstch!--need some help here in the mountains! Kind of--ssstch!--out of food here...

[Yes, there's Right, in what appears to be a small cave carved into the snow, huddling with his Pignite. While the video feed is not perfect, one could make out the signs of frostbite on both his fingers and on the tips of his wings. That blue tinge on his lips isn't very encouraging, either.]

Anyone can hear me? What happened, every--sssstch!

Why would you do something like that in the middle of winter?? Without telling anyone? Right, I swear to Savior, if you're a Fairycicle when I get up there.

[She's mostly just ranting, reasonably certain that he's only getting about half of her messages. Her evolution allows her to glide slightly, but not quite fly, which speeds her pursuit of him when she's not riding on Caro, her Ninetails. She brought her along almost entirely because of her Fire typing, ignoring that the foxlike Pokemon was quite obnoxiously lazy most days. Ariera stayed in Union to help with the relief, as did most of her team.]

[She glanced down at her feed, watching him shiver with his own Fire type, and shook her head, smiling fondly despite her frustration.]

When are you gonna stop worrying me so much, you silly thing?

[lunchleader]

[w h o o p s.

Girlfriend is really mad at him. Still a little odd - nice, but odd- that she's now his girlfriend, but that's doesn't change the fact that Honoka's pretty upset.]

W-Well, I thought--ssssnk!--easier to find them in this season! I mean, they're Ice-types, right?

[Thankfully, the signal will get a little clearer as she nears the higher elevations of the mountains.]

[encouragetomorrow]

You say that like you went prepared for this, Right...

[She's hopped off of Caro, walking alongside the Ninetails with one hand on her flank and the other around her Warp Band. It's snowing now, so she figures she has to be getting closer. Walking on the ground barefoot in the snow is sort of odd-- she expected it to be colder, but maybe that's the benefit of leathery dragon feet.]

Were there landmarks? Something I can look for to find you faster?

[lunchleader]

I did!

[A pause until the feed stabilizes again.]

...well...I thought I did. I mean, you can't--sssnk!--for an avalanche to happen.

[As for landmarks, Honoka will spot in the distance what appears to be a...Glaceon? Odd; this isn't anywhere near the Ice Rock...]

[encouragetomorrow]

Apparently not, seeing as you're turning blue in a cave right now.

[Her tone is chiding, but fond. She knew how easy it was to get overwhelmed by the weather, and Right was particularly prone to thinking he had something when he didn't, in fact, have it at all. He explains the avalanche and she tuts softly, inhaling to chide him some more when she sees the Glaceon. She frowns.]

...Right, do you have a Glaceon?

[lunchleader]

Kind of a cave. My new friends helped carve it out for us when we got buried...

[The Glaceon spots Honoka, and eyes the girl warily.] And why would a Dragon-type be up here during this season?

[Right, however, does faintly pick up on the Glaceon's voice. And since Honoka's close, the signal does seem to be more stable.]

Oh, yeeeaaahh, that's my other new friend, Yukina! She led me to where the Snovers live, since I accidentally wounded up at that Ice Rock at one point. She's kinda friends with one of them, who's now my friend, too.
