used_fireblast[Anyone out in Azalea might notice the not-really-unusual sight of an incredibly ragged-looking trainer dragging into town in the early hours of the morning. He's followed by a line of six equally-tired looking Pokemon, including a Gyarados.]
[Harry tiredly gestures for the rest of the impromptu Abbey Road tribute to wait outside as he walks into the Azalea Town Pokemart. Once inside, he makes for the counter while rummaging through his bag. Finally he pulls out and plops down some broken and still-sparking electronics that might be identified as the remains of a Pokegear.]
I need a replacement for this and something containing caffeine, please.
[The video feed comes later in the afternoon, once everyone involved has had a chance to recover a bit from the journey through Union Cave. Harry is outside near the edge of town, most of the Pokemon he had with him visible somewhere in the background. Harry himself is sporting something of a new look, with white now streaking the hair around his temples; and a set of black, distinctly Raikou-like markings spiking across his forehead and cheeks.]
[The new Pokegear itself is being held carefully at a distance, presumably by one of Harry's Pokemon.]
I'll admit that the sensation of computer technology shorting out and exploding under my fingers was a nice reminder of home, really. I'm all nostalgic now. As much as my raging ego would like to think otherwise, I'm going with personal experience on this one and assuming that this isn't an isolated thing.
So. How much property damage are we looking at this time?

Could've been the Rockets trying to cause chaos once things started getting weird. ...Er, anyway.
[On the other hand, they seem to be behind pretty much every other thing that ever happens here...]

But you could be right. It could just be bad timing and nothing else; we might have been infected days before anything else happened and just didn't know it.
