[When the feed clicks on, there's a soft sniffle, but Flora's doing her best to try and keep it together. (And failing.)]

U-um... Has... Has anyone seen Luke Triton? H-he and I were on a little trek, outside Mount Mortar, a-and...

Well, Mr. Bear and... and Claire, they're both in my party now. [There's a soft cry, and she has to take a moment to compose herself.]

I... I haven't seen him in a f-few hours-- a-and I don't quite know where... where I'm supposed to go. I... I'm hoping he's just exploring on his own, but...

He won't even answer.

[Everyone's gone and left her behind again.]

[icansolvethemtoo]

I think it is Ecruteak. Or... the city after it? We were traveling a-away from Goldenrod in this direction.

[voice]

[captainash]

Ecruteak or Mahogany, then...

[The rustling of a paper map can be heard.]

Did you surf over a lake or cross through the mountain as you were traveling?

[voice]

[icansolvethemtoo]

We d-didn't surf anywhere. It's all b-been on foot. I... I think I m-may just head back. It... it seems easier.

[voice]

[captainash]

Do you want me to send one of my birds with supplies? That way you'd be sure to have enough food, and they could help scout out the way back.

[voice]

[icansolvethemtoo]

That... that would be very nice.

[voice]

[captainash]

I'll send my Swellow, then. She's blue, so she should be really easy to recognize. Is there anything you particularly need? Food, potions, blankets...?

[voice]

[icansolvethemtoo]

I... I think just potions and food. I've got a very nice blanket.

You're far too kind.

[voice]

[captainash]

It's the least I can do, with your adventure interrupted so harshly.

[voice]

[icansolvethemtoo]

Thank you so much, sir. I don't know how I'll be able to repay you, but once I can, I will.

[voice]

[captainash]

You can repay me by reaching Ecruteak safely. With Blue's help, it shouldn't be too hard.

[voice]

[icansolvethemtoo]

T-then I'm sure I'll arrive safely!

Is Blue the name of your Swellow?

[voice]

[captainash]

It is. It'll be easy to remember, and she answers to it.

[voice]

[icansolvethemtoo]

Alright! I'll be sure to keep an eye out for her. She sounds wonderful.

[voice]

[captainash]

She is. She'll warn you about every patch of ice or angry Pokémon in your path.

[voice]

[icansolvethemtoo]

Oh wow! I can't wait to meet her.

[voice]

[captainash]

That shouldn't be very long. She'll find you as quickly as she can, I promise.

[voice]

[icansolvethemtoo]

Thank you, sir. You're far too kind. [He manages to get a smile out of her.]

[voice]

[captainash]

You're welcome. I hope you'll get back safely.

[voice]

[icansolvethemtoo]

I'll do my best! But once Blue arrives, I don't think I'll struggle much at all.

[voice]

[captainash]

That's what we're hoping for, at least.
