*Imogen, for one of those few moments, is pretty close to normal. And she's really really freaked out. Her gear is also really staticy as she talks. She's having a run in with something, and it's clear liking it is not on the table.*

Guys... Omen woke me up way before I wanted to leave but he had- *Static*

I mean, look at it.

*Have a very grainy garbled picture of a something in the snow. Not bothered by the snow. You can clearly see it's a thing, a definitely there thing, but trying to sort out what sorta thing is impossible in the blizzard and grain. Something was interfering with the camera to do a sorta Blair Witch thing.*

Whatever it is I am NOWHERE near leveled to face- a big silvery golemy thing. So Omen and I ran, and he suggested I- *Static* -stop until I hit Violet.

...He's probably right, even if it isn't good for Wildfyre...

Um, Rainbow Dash, if it's possible *Static* -kle can meet me on the road and we can fly back? I know it's cold and stormy and bad out and I wouldn't ask if-

...If I wasn't really scared right now.

(OOC: I am putting this up earlier than I planned as my net keeps sucking. I'll spend tomorrow at school to do tagbacks if I gotta.)

Don't be. I don't leave friends to freeze.

Alright. Keep coming as long as you can, but don't make her exhaust herself completely. If you have to, hunker down with her in the best shelter you can find.

I'll probably get off her soon, and walk beside her. She can rest some and the wind will be less of a problem for me with her here. Also she's still warmer than the snow.

I can- I can keep moving for a bit longer than she can, and that's a better option than curling up if I can't find shelter.

Well, just so long as you don't go to sleep.

[There's the sound of a door opening, and a pokeball being opened. Twi's mounting Apus.]

Alright, I'm off! I'll try to keep in touch as I fly, but if the signal breaks up... don't be too surprised.

But the snow looks so comfortable.

*Jokes. Good sign.*

I'll give you a while before I start keeping an eye out for you. No point getting Tailypo frozen before you get closer.

Right. Okay, here I go!

[There's the sound of flapping wings, and Twilight is off, Apus's Light Screen ability thankfully protecting them from most of the effects of the storm.

A little while after an hour later, she's coming up on Route 36 and mentally sends Apus a signal to slow down so they can look for Imogen easier. Apus obliges, and they start to fly lower and slower, scanning the ground through the snow for signs of life as best they can.]

*Imogen is a bit shy of any proper defense from the storm. Instead she has the remains of three mighty trees. That were cut in such a way they'd fall over and each brace the other up. Making a tiny little alcove of protection. Someone had to be really lucky to hit each tree exactly so it would manage that. Imogen was in there huddled with Omen and Tailypo, the Absol shielding Imogen from the entrance and it's snow while the Furret looked over the disaster Pokemon to watch the skies. Chirping and trilling as he caught sight of the incoming rescue.*

Huh... she's here? She did come out... yay...

*The bespeckled girl got her arms out and recalled the pair back to their balls. Specifically because Omen would complain. Before launching a ball into the air and climbing out of the little shelter. The ball hardly traveled, and the girl was very sluggish on her moving. But it still released a medium sized electric cat.

Joules, Spark. Don't aim for anything, just be very bright for a moment. We need her... attention...

*The Luxio eyed her somber quiet master and then used Charge. And used Charge again. And after that it Sparked. A bright yellow mark on the ground to draw in any nearby attention. Wildfyre was exhausted, Omen and Tailypo were too weakened by the cold to be of much use. She kept Joules off the field until now. Figuring the little thing had a few ways to get attention.*

Good girl...

[Spying the light from above, both Twilight and Apus zero in on Imogen's location. Unnecessarily, Twi points down to where she saw the light.]

There! That must be her! Dive down, Apus, the faster we can get to her the better!

[Obediently, the Sigilyph descends from the sky at a rapid rate. She's buffeted and chilled by the winds, but Twilight couldn't care less. She's got a friend to save.]

Imogen! [Sliding off of Apus as they reach the ground, she runs over to the little shelter she's managed to construct.] Oh thank Celestia, you're all right. Hang on, I'm gonna get you out of here.

[Plucking a ball from her belt, she tosses it into the air.] Come out, Starswirl!

*Imogen managed to call back Joules as soon as she spotted the incoming Mon. Well, more like heard, which is more like figured this was a time to just guess help was on its way or else she'd freeze to death.*

You ponies have a funny definition of all right.

*The little jab would be cute if Imogen's teeth weren't chattering through the whole comment. Her clothes had been caked with snow, and only the layering prevented it from soaking through where Wildfyre melted some of it. She got to one leg, but couldn't get herself all the way to standing.*

Omen... made a little house. It just needs walls and a bookcase and it could be home. S-so I take it we're not going back air Twilight Sparkle?

Well, alive... not that you can die in Johto, but that's hardly the point. You'll get better once we get back to the Center. And no, we're not going by air.

[Starswirl glances at her and gives a sharp nod.]

We're going to teleport. Here, take my hand.

[She holds out a gloved hand, urgency in her expression. Which is completely justified, really.]

Can't die? So I guess that's why you- you didn't say 'come with me if you want to live'...

*Or, it was because that movie doesn't exist in Ponyworld. But Imogen's a bit too cold to think that one through. She doesn't hesitate anymore than her numb limbs being sluggish forces her to at taking the other girl's hand.*

Right, s-second star to the right. Straight on- till- oh forget it.

*Too cold for more references.*

You're rambling. You must be slipping into hypothermia.

[No, Twi, she's just being herself.]

I'll get you back right away. Starswirl, teleport!

[And with a flash of his eyes, the Kadabra has them all on their way. There's a brief moment of disorientation as the world around them blurs into nothingness...

And then all of a sudden, they're standing (well, Twilight's standing. Imogen's probably more along the lines of kneeling) right outside the Violet City Pokemon Center. Immediately, Twilight grabs hold of Imogen with her free arm and begins to drag her inside. Thank Arceus for automatic doors.]

Alright, come on... Let's get you inside, let you thaw out.

I must be hypothermic a lot. Especially in the summer.

*The disorientation didn't even really register, nor did the teleport for that matter. She could sorta tell she was moving, and didn't remember trying to walk but she was doing that too, which was weird. Like, even for the usual normal weird weird. So maybe it wasn't like all the other times she was rambling.*

My team... they need to- Nurse Joy...

*All the energy Imogen put into not dying seemed to fade the moment safety was on the table. It was warm in here, and that was good. Yes.*

Sleep now?
