Take Initiative.

[trustharder]

It seems things have been resolved - peacefully, if more than a little awkwardly for most parties involved. However, there's still work to do here, isn't there? Ryuunosuke shrugs after a long moment; tips his head up a bit. "Hey, Glory? Let everyone up." And apparently that's all it takes, though what that actually does isn't something that happens all at once - rather, panels slide out from the wall, forming a staircase up to that balcony they've been standing on. Mettaton doesn't really wait for the others to join them; he just leaves back through that section of wall they entered from, calling something back over his shoulder. "We've got another room to work from back here, darlings, this shouldn't take too long to work out." >Follow?

[...Oh no.

Colress frowns at this. That doesn't sound good.]

Ah- I would absolutely be happy to give you and your students a tour of Unova, but... Did something happen in your world?

[devastation]

Yes, I believe so. [...] During the time we spent here, a lot of my dreams centered around a tragedy that happened back home in my world. A lot of people died horribly, and aside from myself, only three of my students were able to survive what happened.

[those kids... they're probably still hiding out in the school...]

As such, I fear that my students are in grave danger right now.

[pokexplorer]

[Aaand there's the look of absolute concern coming from Colress.]

Arceus.

[...that's the PokeWorld equivalent for good god, basically.]

Does Tarrlok know about this? Perhaps we can create a search and rescue group.

[He's not entirely sure what they should be expecting when they go in, but dangit, they'll do something to help!]

[devastation]

Mm, I told Tarrlok-san about it when we were on the other side watching everyone. [... As well as one other detail about her current situation back home, but maybe she doesn't have to mention that part to Colress cause it's just depressing, really.]

I don't want to risk anyone's safety with trying to help me here... but, if we can come up with a safe enough plan using the portal, then maybe...

[...Maybe it'll work out okay? Heck, even if she has to do it alone, she's probably not going to give up until she's found them.]

[pokexplorer]

[He can just find out the fun way whenever they manage to make it there. It'll be a fun surprise! Haha...ha...

That said though, he slips his glasses back on and holds a hand to his chin to think about this. It's definitely Serious Time now.]

I've no doubt that with our combined efforts, we can figure out a proper plan. At the very least, Pokemon would be perfect for defending, and many of us have skills that would be useful for such an operation...

[You better believe he's invested in this.]

After everything we've been through together, I sincerely doubt anyone is going to make you go through this alone- especially now that you've told myself and Tarrlok.

[He's pretty sure he knows how Tarrlok would've reacted to this news. It's why he asked! They'll just have to see who else is on board.]

[As Megumi listens to Colress talk, it occurs to her vaguely that... well, honestly, this is the first time she actually had other people wanting to help her out. Back home, it was just her and three kids: the rest of the world was practically dead for all that mattered to their tiny group of survivors living in the school.

But now, there are people here that she can rely on rather doing everything alone. People she could even consider to be friends, really.

Maybe their efforts really would work out this time.]

I agree... and thank you, Colress-san. I really appreciate having your assistance for this.

[pokexplorer]

[That's definitely going to get a smile from Colress.]

Think nothing of it, Miss Megumi. It is the least I can do. Please do keep me notified of what's going on- and when you are ready to perform the rescue.

[And to keep things on the positive note...]

When everything is said and done, and you are all safely within my world, perhaps we can actually get those lessons going. Unova does have plenty of schools, too.
