020; [action for Goldenrod/Route 34]
[if one is brave enough to venture outside in the cold and snow and ice and onto Route 34 today, he or she may notice a feral child just outside the entrance to Goldenrod-- Johto's very own Mowgli is sitting cross-legged off to the side, hunched over with his arms wrapped tightly around himself. surprisingly enough, snow is pretty chilly when one lacks a winter coat.]
[it's not out of not owning one, however; Sora's coat is actually laid out on the ground in front of him. no... wait, it's haphazardly draped across about the top third of a Dratini, who is curled up with his head resting on Trainer's lap. the coat isn't much, but it's all Sora's got.]
C'mon... We're maybe ten minutes away from the Center. You can do it! We've made it this far together, right?
[a pitiful whine from the Dratini. Sora's momentarily defeated expression is obscured by his hair, and by the fact that he's staring down at the ground. though it's probably equally pitiful, that defeat hardens into steel determination-- he and Pokémon hadn't trudged around out in who-knows-where for two weeks, and finally back onto the route to wind up freezing to death now.]
All right. [his voice is unsteady, but warm.] I think you've pulled more than your own weight lately... I'll keep going for the both of us. Okay? Hold still; I'll carry you.
[... how Sora intends to pick up and carry what is essentially a 6-foot giant worm is questionable, but dangit, he's going to try-- once he picks himself up and actually gets going, anyway. good thing Dratinis are on the light side for their length.]

I'm sure that won't happen. I've got faith in you.

[video-private]
I wouldn't wanna be the reason things are left hanging, really...
[video-private]
I'm not going to leave anything-- or anybody-- hanging. You included, Ven.
[video-private]
I know, I've got faith in you.
[video-private]
That's all the faith I need! [just... be patient with him, Ven. he needs to save the World, have a coma, save the World again, then he'll get to you.]

[Not to worry, he can wait for worlds to be saved]
