019 [video/action]

[The video feed turns on with a clatter as Rika's PokéGear falls onto the floor. All that's visible is Rika's hand hanging over the edge of the bed. There's silence for a few moments as everything in the room stays still until suddenly there's the sound of a frantic pokémon.]

Vee! Vee! [At that moment, Rika's hand moves out of view of the Gear.]

Prince? Are you all right? [There's fumbling around for the Gear until Rika manages to reach over the side of the bed and pick it up. She has a worried look on her face despite the fact that she's hugging her Eevee.]

What's going on? How long have I been asleep?

[Rika's able to take a few more steps but her legs begin to wobble and she reaches out for support.]

[ and Asuka's instantly there, bracing her. ] Take it slowly.

... Thank you. [She holds tightly onto Asuka as she tries to take another step forward, even though her legs still feel weak.

Rika's frustration at the situation is clear in her expression. She hates feeling weak like this.]

... It's all right. Any one of us would have this problem.

...

I know. I just can't stand feeling like this.

Rika-chan...

This just reminds me of how I used to feel before I arrived in Johto.

... The situation you told me about?

[She nods.]

I just feel like I can't do anything right now...

That's not true. Believe me.

[She looks up at Asuka.]

You're right. I shouldn't just give up because I can't walk immediately after I wake up.
