[It's practically impossible to tell what's going on. For one, the air is thick with mist. For two, there is some serious Shaky Cam (tm) going on, though with all the mist you can only sort of tell from the way the vague shape of Doppio is vibrating intensely, so the weather is really the main problem here.

When it comes to visibility, anyway. The weather is not Doppio's main concern right now.]

I-I need backup! I'm--

[Is that the cry of a wild Steelix? Why yes, it is. And it's pretty loud, so it must be close.]

I'm not out of supplies, b-but I dropped my bag! [He's out of breath. His voice wobbles with each vibration in the feed.] It... It had most of my Pokéballs, and my items, and all the... all the guys I caught! For the admins!

[The Steelix roars and launches itself forward. It's probably hard to tell from the video itself, though, because it appears Doppio has now dropped his Pokégear and it is bouncing and sliding downhill.]

I don't want to die!

[A few seconds pass. Doppio manages to grab his Gear again and adds, very urgently and quite close to the camera:]

If I show up in the Pokémon Center or down at the gate again without my ID, I'm fucked!

[FIGHTING SOUNDS ENSUE. It doesn't actually take that long; the Pokémon in Mt. Silver are tough, but Scarabella is at level 100. Before long, Doppio breathes a sigh of relief - even though...]

Aw, man... I couldn't catch it...
