OOC: Time for a long journey.
---
Everything happened quickly after Tropius was killed. Throughout all of Lyssane's crying, Lt. Surge and his trainers heard her mention a briefcase, which they all promptly retrieved with almost no difficulty. Seeing the briefcase and the missed opportunity to possibly save Tropius just made her cry even more. Natu was like this as well, along with Charmander and Togetic to an extent. Murkrow, however.
Natu: After everything we've been through... Why did it have to be like this?
Togetic: *sniffs*
Charmander: Ah, big guy. I never got to know you, but I can tell the others cared for you.
Murkrow: Are you guys going to cry like this all the time? Seriously, pull yourselves together! We gotta live! Tropius wouldn't want what happened to him to happen to us!
Everyone in Vermillion cheered Lyssane up as much as they could, some of the trainers even sharing their own stories of the Pokemon that they too lost to the Zombie outbreak. At some point, she had to realize that there were more pressing matters at hand. And she did.
Lt. Surge: We all saw the fight from the Lavender observatory, and ran here as fast as we could. Your Tropius became one of the strongest zombies we've ever seen. Know that you stopped him before he did something worse. Hang tough, kid.
From there, Lt. Surge and his trainers told Lyssane about her options, since leaving Kanto was definitely not an option. Ever since the Radio Tower became damaged, communication between Vermillion and Viridian, Pewter, and Cerulean was lost. Saffron and Lavender were known to be war zones, Saffron especially. Fuschia was considered a lost cause even during the beginning stages of the outbreak, to the point where Lt. Surge blurted out that, "The speed that the zombies blitzed through the town is frightening, and they probably had some help." Celadon City was also safe, but it faced frequent zombie attacks from Saffron, not to mention the additional threat from the zombies at Fuschia should they somehow find their way up the bicycle path.
Lt. Surge: And Vermillion City here? Heh, don't worry about us! We're staying here to see if there are any more survivors nearby, but we don't expect to hold Vermillion for long. When the time comes, we'll go to Celadon and regroup with Erika there, and then push through Saffron and see what we can do at Cerulean City.
Lyssane knew that Cinnabar was mostly safe despite communication being lost with them as well, although she also knew that everyone there was making plans to leave for the Sevii Islands. Pallet Town was really the safest known area among the people of Vermillion at the moment, and thus Lyssane decided that she should head back there.
Nurse Joy: BACK to Pallet? But you said that you came from Fuschia City.
Lyssane: Err... I've been to Pallet once before, before the outbreak. Yeah, that's what I meant.
Nurse Joy: Well... Okay.
Lyssane thought it best to get back to Professor Oak as soon as possible, because it was likely that the trainers Oak mentioned had returned and found something important. That wildfire was still raging in full force, with no way that Lyssane could bypass it. So, she had to go the long way. That meant cutting through Saffron City, and going through the cities that the trainers of Vermillion had lost contact with - Cerulean, Pallet, and Viridian. Then there were the already-dangerous-before-the-outbreak Mt. Moon and Viridian Forest.
Natu: We're going to have our work cut out for us. It's going to take a lot of luck for all of us to survive this trip.
Murkrow: We have more than enough luck! How do you think we managed to get here in the first place?
Charmander: We just ran?
Now, Lyssane was at the checkpoint leading into southern Saffron City. The Officer Jennys and their Squirtles and Growlithes accompanied her during this stretch of the trip, but...
Officer Jenny: We're still heading to Celadon City to help with the fire to the west. As soon as we reach the western gate, we regret to say that you'll be on your own. We're sure you'll arrive safely to Pallet Town, though.
