9th book; father's day {video/action for Goldenrod}
//video; warning for mentions of death
{When the feed clicks on, it's not immediately obvious what's happening - indeed, the scene is almost preternaturally still. A little girl with black hair slowly tiptoes across the floor towards an armchair, head cocked to the side curiously. The camera moves to follow her, and in doing so, reveals the occupant of the armchair.}
Hello, Isis. {Nanao looks old, sitting still as a statue - the Fisher King, if you would, ensconced forever on her throne. The little girl - Isis - clambers up onto her lap, burying her head beneath Nanao's chin, and whines unhappily.}
You have not been yourself, mistress. {An unfamiliar voice, wispy and thin floats out of nowhere, at least until Kiyone, her first starter and Alakazam moves forward into the picture.} What ails you?
You have my memories, do you not? {Isis curls and shifts so she too can look at the powerful Psychic - her eyes, only just visible, are the same shade of purple as Nanao's own.} That is correct.
Then I would suggest you peruse them with today's date in mind, Kiyone. {Her voice is tinged with bitterness and pain, and her arms come to hold Isis close to her chest.}
{The Alakazam is quiet for a long time, sitting cross-legged in mid-air, running through a century and a half's worth of days dated June 18.}
....I am sorry that I did not make the connection straight away, mistress. I should have checked myself. {Nanao shakes her head, and moves to stand, startling Isis, who transforms back into a Zorua. Neither the human nor the Alakazam pay this any notice.}
It is not your fault - I am just being exceptionally maudlin over events that have happened a long, long time ago. {She crosses to the window, Zorua cradled close.} By all rights, I should have forgotten....
One does not forget death easily. Especially not one's own. {Kiyone's hand closes over the 'Gear quietly, shutting it off with a flick of his claw.}
//action; Goldenrod
{In the afternoon, one might see Nanao and her considerable amount of Pokemon gracing one of Goldenrod's larger parks - the Pokemon are playing, yes, but they seem to be keeping closer to Nanao than usual. That said, they certainly will allow you to talk to her, if you so choose.}
{OOC: Kiyone is actually speaking English here - yes, he is now able to freak people out without telepathy. Yay? EDIT: PLEASE GO AND READ THIS FAQ, it is very important and deals with talking Pokemon! Kiyone has had over a year of practice to learn how to do this properly.}

Repel doesn't work.
{She's tried that.}
{WHAT DO YOU MEAN, URAHARA IN ROUTE WOULD BE
HORRIFICAMAZING.}{.......this must now happen at some point. I demand it.}
[Action]
And what else have you tried?
[Because she could have gotten a bad bottle or something. ...What? It could happen!
IT WOULD BE TERRIFYING TO HAVE HIM SHOW UP!
And this guy would prefer Aizen. If only to turn him into a fire-burnt and frozen husk....>3 once Mizumaru makes eggs with Charmeuse, then. It would be a fitting occasion.]
[Action]
Smoke balls, cleanse tags - nothing works. And in case you're wondering, I've tested all three types, with multiple canisters, with Charmeuse walking alongside me and in her ball. I had no other Pokemon in my party at that time. She's in the high nineties.
Nothing has worked.
{She has used science! Urahara would be proud.}
{In that vein, she would be much happier for Urahara to be here than Aizen. She knows how he operates, and there are far too many potential unwitting pawns for him to manipulate. Even without Kyouka Suigetsu, he is a master of the mindfuck.}
{Water and fire, man. Even she doesn't get it.}
[Action]
Also, is that his eye twitching? That may just be his eye twitching. How could nothing have worked?!]
And the nurses haven't been able to offer any kind of suggestion, I take it.
[Urahara would be proud. Kurotsuchi would try to disect her to see exactly what made that happen.
See, that's where they'd clash. She knows Urahara, he doesn't. He knows what Aizen is capable of, mostly, and she has friends here. If nothing else, they could warn people away from Aizen. Urahara's antics...not so much. Granted he doesn't mindfuck everyone in a five-block radius just by existing, but still.
Find someone who does get it. That's going to be a very small number.]
[Action]
{She just sighs, and drops her head into her hands.}
If I told them, I'd never see sunlight again. Picture Kurotsuchi, but worse.
{A BIG CALL but she's pretty freaking serious.}
{.....................Kurotsuchi can fuck right off, then. It would be like Tarantulus but INFINTY TIMES MORE HORRIBLE.}
{lmsdfikasdfsdu probably the most perfect explanation of Aizen I have ever heard.}
{I think that number may be negative, in fact.}
[Action]
They can't be that bad, Ise. People would have noticed by now if they were like that.
[He can tell she's serious, but...really? Worse than Kurotsuchi? That can't be possible. It just can't. The world would break or something.
Yes, well, someone can tell him to fuck right off if she shows up here, which may happen, knowing their luck. ...but it's not going to be him; he values his head, thank you.]
[Action]
Did you not notice how I literally had to escape the Violet Pokemon Center?
{BECAUSE THAT WAS A THING. I dread to think what would happen if the two met.}
{Eh, she'll do it. She's done it in canon, after all.}
