[After traveling for several days to get to Vermillion City, Jimmy hasn't really had a chance to check the Network or his PC much. But upon arriving to town early in the morning, the first thing he'd gone to do was check his PC to switch out some of his team and...

Well. There's only one reason you find a friend's Pokemon in your possession, isn't there? A quick attempt at a call confirms his worst fears. He left to go on a trip, promising he'd be back soon. He didn't even get to say goodbye.

It takes him a little while, but he eventually makes a video from a seat on the couch inside the Pokemon Center (since he hasn't actually left yet). There's a pokeball in his hands, but he hasn't had the heart to release what's inside yet.

For the first time in a long time, Jimmy Two-Shoes looks...genuinely upset.]

Molly's gone home.

[His grip on the ball shifts a little. When he looks back up he forces a smile, strained and maybe a little too wide.]

If you got any of her Pokemon, lemme know, okay? I'm not gonna take 'em, I just...wanna make sure they're alright.

Thanks.

[And that's it.]

MONGE!!

[His "monge" this time around sounds more in line with a "Aha!"]

I knew it! I knew there was a circus here, zura!

Really...? People are usually surprised to hear we got one...where'd you hear about it?

I met a silly clown, zura!

[HE MET AN ASSASSIN. AND HE ASSUMED ASSASSIN WAS A WORD FOR CLOWN. THIS GUY SHOULD NOT BE LEFT ALONE, WHO DID THIS??]

[...you sweet summer child.]

Did he say he worked at the Eve's Garden Circus? That's the circus in Goldenrod that I work at.

Oh, I didn't ask if it had a name, zura.

[But it's good to know that there is one!]

I always wanted to go to the circus. Maybe...maybe I can take my friend when I get to the city, zura!
