So.

[Ash stays silent for a few moments after that, almost as if that word is the only one he intended to send. That doesn't last very long.]

Am I getting my weeks wrong, or was there a rather suspicious lack of confused calls coming from New Bark Town over the last few days?

[He normally would not have registered that at all, yet this time he's been thinking about it enough to make his head pound.]

...Never mind. It's probably nothing.

Maybe whatever's bringin' folks here got bored, or somethin'. Maybe we're goin' home soon.

[captainash]

Far be it from me to complain about the possibility of going home, but that sounds way too good to be true.

[sitdownbecider]

Yeah, I didn't really believe that either. Still, a gal's gotta keep her hopes up.

[Being so far from home for so long can drive you crazy if you're not careful.]

But there's gotta be a reason, right?

[captainash]

...Maybe people have arrived recently, but they're just not very chatty.

[sitdownbecider]

All of 'em? I reckon it's possible, but that sounds real fishy too.

[captainash]

Maybe an earlier arrival is still hanging around Cherrygrove and could tell if they've seen anyone. Though that wouldn't help if people have left for Kanto.
