	As Jaden and Pikachu caught up with him, Seth nodded in response to the thanks, then turned his attention back to escaping. As the group neared the ladder out, they were mercifully undisturbed; clearly the panic in the lab was enough to at least partially conceal them. Seth waved Jaden and his partners forward to get up and out first, and while he did Seth turned to watch behind them if anybody came along. When they didn't, he scrambled up the ladder himself and immediately pushed the boulder back over the hole. 
	[color=ed1c24][b]"Come on,"[/b][/color] he said urgently, [color=ed1c24][b]"We need to get away from the exit before they come after us."[/b][/color] And with that he darted into the woods back toward Viridian City, taking a few turns and weaves through the foliage here and there to make the trail unpredictable. After a short time, he stopped and leaned against a tree to catch his breath.
	[color=ed1c24][b]"That should be good. Now..."[/b][/color] he began, gesturing to Jaden, [color=ed1c24][b]"I know you said she didn't want it, but you need to get Vix into a ball and registered, and you need to do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, those crooks could come along, claim to have captured her themselves, and they'd have grounds for it. In fact, we're pretty lucky they didn't think to put her in a ball in the first place, or if they did that it wasn't on hand."[/b][/color]
	He slumped to the ground, he expression suggesting that regardless of the response, he didn't want an argument on the matter. [color=ed1c24][b]"I'm going to sit here for a little bit, then go back to town, and get some sleep. Don't mind me..."[/b][/color]
