<sub>[When the screen comes on, it's pointed straight at the sky-- specifically, at the deep, smoke-gray thunderheads starting to roll in. The foliage just peeking over the bottom of the screen's view is whipping around in a frenzy, buffeted by the foreboding winds that have sprung up in the face of the storm.]

[Heather's voice then cuts in over the roar of weather. She's YELLING to make herself heard.]</sub>

Can you BELIEVE this!?

Can you friggin' believe this?!

All day yesterday I'm slogging along through the heat and then the moment I get to the city to actually chill around in civilization, THIS happ--

_{[A handful or so of wet leaves is quite suddenly plastered against the camera lens. Thank you, 60 mph wind. Thank you]}

Ackplthh--!!

_{[... And apparently Heather was hit in the face by several, too.]}

PLHHHFFLT! If I have to spend another week sitting in the Pokemon Center in order not to drown, I am gonna...... oh boy.

<sub>[Aaaand here comes the rolling wall of pure downpour. The camera turns sharply and any viewers still watching are treated to a tilta-whirl of grass, dirt, a running Sentret, and occasionally Heather's boots as she high-tails it away from the rain. THAT'S RIGHT, HEATHER. IF YOU RUN FAST ENOUGH, YOU CAN OUTRUN NATURE.]

[Eventually the video feed cuts out.]</sub>

Umm... That's why it is best to stay indoors when the weather is this bad.

Are you okay?

Well, the storm kind of blew in while I was all the way on the other side of town than the Center. You know, nature is dumb.

I'm fine, but my Gear is busted. This sucks.

I see. Well, was it really that far of a walk to the center? Is Violet city bigger than Cherrygrove?

Is there anyway to get it fixed?

Nah, it's not far, I just don't like getting wet. _{[At least not after she'd already been fighting nature for the past week.]}

I dunno, if it doesn't go back to normal soon, I'll... ask someone, I guess.

Well, I don't think anyone likes getting rained on.

That'll probably be for the best. I hope it fixes itself soon.
