[Today, Asuma looks uncharacteristically serious. By his sides are two new Pokémon - a Swablu and a Ivysaur. The two seem to be taking comfort in one another's presence for now.]

...It seems that many people have been disappearing as of late. I have two more to report.

The first is a young boy who was missing an arm. His name was Tetsu.

[Or at least, that's what he information on the Ivysaur indicated.]

The other was a quiet boy with white hair who worked at the Breeding Centre. Mytho.

[The Swablu gives an unhappy cry at the mention of this, prompting Asuma to give her a few comforting pets.]

...I will be taking care of these two myself. I just wanted to let others know in case they were wondering what happened.

Thank you for your time.

If it were something simple, maybe. Like some sort of marker for people who pass through this world to leave a name on.

Huh... yeah, I guess that would work if there's some place everyone definitely went or something.

Hmmm...

[After a moment of thought...]

...Not everyone goes there, but wouldn't you say that New Bark Town fits that criteria best? It's small, so if there were some sort of monument, it would be hard to miss.

That'd probably work. A lot of people do start there, at least. [A small thought.] I think everyone passes through Violet at least once, too.

...I think I may look into it. There is probably no way to record everyone who has been here so far, but if we could at least begin to...

Well, I for one would like that much to be left as a reminder.

Yeah... let me know. We can probably spread the word or something. Let other people who are already here know what's up, y'know?

That would be appreciated. Thank you, Yosuke.

Hmm... I wonder how hard it would be to get a stone monument that can be easily carved into...

Yeah, no worries...

I'm not sure, though. Maybe you could ask around and see if anyone's seen anything while they were on the road or something?

Another fine idea. If we could find one on one of the earlier routes, it would probably work well!

That'd probably work. I dunno, I've never done anything like this before.

Neither have I. It will be a learning experience!

Ahaha, guess that's one way of looking at it...

I figure a little optimism in a situation like this can't hurt.

I won't even try to argue with that. We're pretty hard-pressed for it these days.

Which is why I thought I would start this project now. I'll have to start gathering information on the earlier routes - and of course, all of the people who are and once were here.

Think you'll be able to? I mean... you know, about the people who aren't here anymore.

That part will probably be the trickiest. I'll have to ask others to give me the names of people they know to have left. It's likely I won't be able to get all of them even then, but...

It's be tough, I bet. There's probably people who are gone now that nobody here actually knows at all.

Right. Due to the continued disappearances, it's very possible that even highly connected people would be lost to obscurity as they and all of their friends left.

However, as long as I can at least start this much... I can only hope we could avoid that in the future.

Well, um... good luck, man. Seriously, I know that's really not gonna be easy to pull off.

Thank you. I'm still not completely sure I'll be able to manage it, but it can't hurt to try.

I guess the worst that can happen is it doesn't work out. It wouldn't be the biggest loss...

The only loss I would take is my paycheck. But I don't really mind.
