[The boy on the 'Gear hasn't been seen in a couple of months now, but he still remembers how to use it. He also seems to have developed an unrelated tic beneath his left eye. Despite this, he looks as well put together as always, with a grinning Sableye butting her head up against the underside of his chin every so often, clearly the mark of a pokemon who missed her trainer greatly. For his part, he's ignoring her affections, which is relatively unsurprising to those who know him.

The scenery behind him is New Bark Town, and he does not seem happy to be there.]

Whoever is in possession of the rest of my pokemon has one hour to return them to me. There are five altogether. Four of them, two Persians, a Dragonite, and a Milotic, should have "Byakuya Togami" as their Original Trainer. The fifth is a Rapidash who answers to Vampa.

Don't waste my time by asking idiotic questions or attempting to hold them for ransom, I don't respond kindly to threats and blackmail. If I see that they have been well taken care of, I will consider a small reimbursement.

[He pauses, and it's then that it becomes noticeable that he is visibly unsettled, however curt his tone.]

If Naegi or Kirigiri is still here, it would behove them to respond with haste as well. That is all.

[Without so much as a 'thank you for your time,' the irritated young man cuts off the feed.]

[Do you really want him to answer that, Hagakure.

...and well, progress is progress. It isn't as if Hagakure's hair could get any worse.]

I assumed as much. [He doesn't let it show but he's actually a little relieved.] If you are at the house, I suppose you'll do as well as any to return them to me.

[Is that a challenge?]

Yeah, no problem! They should all be here, but I just gotta check to see if anyone took one with 'em when they went traveling. It's pretty much just me, Kirigiri-chi and Alice-chi at the house right now.

[No. God no. Keep that mess sated so that it doesn't gain sentience.]

Well at least there's one competent person still at the house.

The one hour time limit still applies.

[It takes him only a good moment or two to realize he's not the competent person Togami's talking about. He looks pretty offended once he discovers this, but doesn't say anything. Rude, Togami-chi.]

It's not gonna take me that long, jeez. Just hold on a sec!

[Well, it doesn't take him "a sec", but it's like five minutes later when he replies again.]

Okay, I got 'em all rounded up! I'll bring 'em down to the PokeCenter in a little bit. I was gonna grab some stuff in town anyway.

I guess you won't need a Pokemon to ride on this time since you've got your Dragonite and Rapidash, huh?

[Look, he's fairly sure that the only reason you survived murderschool was a cocktail of luck and stupidity, you're not exactly a paragon of competence.

Togami glances at his pocketwatch when Hagakure returns to the screen.]

I'd suggest making that visit to the Center your priority, given that you only have fifty minutes left.

[He wants his babies back.]

Vampa and Vouivre should suffice to get me back to the house in an expedient manner, yes.
