[After Perry noticed that Rise vanished, he shut down completely. Losing his two closest friends here in a short period of time really took a toll on him, and soon he decided something:

He was not going to let anyone get this close to him, for everyone's sake.

So he packs everything up and leaves the house he was staying in in less than an hour, not even bothering to let anyone else know where's he's going.

However, while he didn't want anyone to worry about him, his Pokemon were incredibly worried about their trainer, especially his starter Bartholomew. He tried talking to him for hours to try to cheer him up but the most Perry will speak to him it reassuring Bartholomew that he's fine in a really cold-sounding voice.

Eventually he realized that he has no idea how to fix this, so when Perry's not paying attention (which, to be fair, wasn't super hard since he didn't seem to be paying attention to anything besides walking), Bartholomew snatched his Pokegear to ask everyone how to solve this.

Admittedly he's never written anything before, but he watched his trainer text a lot, especially when he still couldn't talk, so it shouldn't be too hard?]


HELP

PERRY IS WEIRD

BAD WEIRD

HE IS RUNNING AWAY

WILL BARELY SPEAK TO ME

WHAT DO I DO

[After about a minute Bartholomew decides he should clarify something.]

THIS IS BARTHOLOMEW THE GOLDUCK

Comments

[Banjou doesn't know Perry very well, but he has lost people before, just not here.]

Maybe he needs to be around people right now.

[doesntdomuch]

THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING

I WISH HE WOULD REALIZE THAT JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL LEAVE, DOESN'T MEAN HE SHOULD STOP PURSUING RELATIONSHIPS

[irenicly]

How close are you two to Goldenrod?

Maybe I could come to help you. I might not know him too well, but I'm sure I could help him somehow.

[doesntdomuch]

IT'S A LITTLE FAR AWAY

ROUTE 44

[irenicly]

Hmm.

It's pretty far away, but I'm sure I can do something for your trainer.

[Trying this optimism thing.]

[doesntdomuch]

I'M ALL EARS

[irenicly]

What if I sent him something?

Sweets, or something like that. Or bento.

[doesntdomuch]

THAT MIGHT WORK

MAYBE IT COULD HELP PERRY UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE DO CARE ABOUT HIM AND THAT VANISHING WOULD STILL HURT PEOPLE, DESPITE WHAT HE WANTS

[irenicly]

When he calms down, I'll try sending something. I hope it helps.

[doesntdomuch]

THANK YOU. SEND IT ANY TIME

I THINK PEOPLE STRUGGLE TO EAT WHEN THEY ARE DEPRESSED TOO SO THE FOOD MIGHT HELP

[In the very least he didn't pack a lot of food.]

[irenicly]

I'll see what I can do.

[And, true to his word, once Perry has calmed down, he will get a small bento box sent to him via Beedrill that is even kept in packaging to keep it warm.

It'll include a side of rice, a small bowl of miso soup, and a variety of vegetables. He wasn't sure what to cook by the looks of things, but it looks like a filling lunch, so!

There's a note attached to it that says, in handwriting that's a little hard to read

Take care
