Are you tired from the battles fought?

[Hey! Look who it is! It's... Ironhide. In bed. In a pokemon center. Careful observers may notice that it is, in fact, the Azalea Town Pokemon Center.]

[They may also notice the old timer looks considerably more battered and bruised than the last time he appeared on the 'gear. One of his legs is pretty much completely immobilized. He's got an arm in a sling, and he's propped up on a pillow or two.]

[He is also scowling. But that's nothing new. His message is brief, growling.]

Made it to Azalea. Cliffjumper too.

... not going anywhere for a while.


(ooc: Takes place a good while after this.))

[Judging from the high angle of the video, someone's Onix got a hold of the pokegear, and is sneakily attempting to film this travesty in the making. We see Ironhide. Walking toward the Gym.]

[This can only end badly.]

[He turns toward the camera -- and the Onix responsible -- and scowls.]

Who gave you that? Put it away!

[After making some ineffective shoo-ing motions, he shakes his head, and continues walking along. There's a low rumble, as Napalm seems to find this amusing. However... as they near the Gym itself, something scuttles across the path.]

What...?

[Understandably, Ironhide's head snaps around to follow it. It's unclear what happens next, as his big, broad back is blocking the view of whatever creature it was. He goes tense, hand slipping into his coat for something -- a pokeball, maybe. The camera bobs around, trying to see over him...]

[... before the old Autobot drops to the ground like a stone, and the tail end of a Shedinja scuttling into a bush.]

[The 'gear plummets to the ground, and an Onix roars. There's a grind of moving boulders before the feed cuts out.]
