12th treasure [video]

[A Luxio can be seen staring out a window, a few metres away. It looks pretty down, even though an Audino is trying to talk to it.]

Does anyone have any ideas how to cheer up a Pokémon who's lost his trainer? Raven's been...

[Gone? Sent home? Split from her team in a manner that might well be permanent?]

...It's been almost a week since she left, and he hasn't eaten a proper meal since then. I'm worried he'll get sick if this keeps going. Think some traveling would help?

[Nothing else he's tried has, and he's starting to run out of ideas.]

It's not any trouble at all. Even if we can't speak in words, music is universal, after all. We can share our feelings even without words.

I'm not there in person, but I can do it over the PokeGear, I think. Do you mind setting it down next to him?

Some Pokémon do have some very musical abilities; it might just work. Wait a second.

[The Pokégear approaches the Luxio until it's finally set down in front of him. He doesn't even look at it.]

[As the Pokégear is moving, Nagisa clears her throat. She knows just what to try - it had worked on the creatures that lived on planet she'd been stranded on before she'd gotten brought here to Johto. She just hopes it works.]

Hey. I'm Nagisa, and this is Dii-chan. I heard you've been going through a rough time, and you probably feel really sad. But you aren't alone.

Come, come, all you lonely people, there's no point in feeling blue!

[She continues to sing through the first chorus, her Audino popping up and into the feed to try and point out the lines about how everyone's in this together.]

[It takes quite a few notes, but Crimsone does end up looking at them, obviously paying some attention to the singing. Eminoa the Audino is much less restrained in her appreciation, humming along after the second line.]

[Good! He's paying attention. When Nagisa starts the second verse, she begins doing the arm movements that go along with the song with the hand that isn't holding her Pokégear. Dii-chan seems to get it fairly quickly, matching the movements after a couple of lines. She finishes the song out strong. Now time to see if the message got through...]

[Crimsone follows her movements as long as they last, keeping his eyes fixed on her arm. He doesn't quite look like he's enjoying himself, but he's definitely more relaxed than he was at the beginning.]
