Remain indoors if possible. If you are currently outside, find the nearest shelter. Shut all windows and doors and keep them that way.

If you are in Goldenrod City and do not have a place to stay for now, go to the Goldenrod hotel. There should be enough room in the halls even if you do not have a room.

If not... I may have a solution. But only contact me if absolutely necessary.

[Action for Goldenrod]

[Marona is outside of the Goldenrod hotel. Around her, her Absol, Noctowl, and Haunter are viciously attacking any bug Pokémon who get near, not even needing her to issue commands. Her newly-caught Chinchou is a slightly different story, but keeping an eye on the actions of one Pokémon is a simple task when you're used to ordering around a miniature army of Phantoms.

That said, Marona isn't contenting herself with just standing back and watching this time. She's obtained a stick from somewhere, and is doing quite the job of beating back bug-types that get close. It's not quite the same as wielding a sword, but it will have to do for now.]

[When the feed starts, it is a relatively boring scene. The Gear seems to have been set on a table of some sort, and is currently capturing what appears to be the door of a nice hotel room in Goldenrod. Other than the door being slightly ajar, nothing appears to be amiss.

This continues for about five minutes.

Should your character tune in or, through some great patience, wait out the five minutes, they will be treated to a moment of beauty in prankster craft when the owner of the Gear walks into the room and has a bucket of water dropped on her.]

...

Elisa...

[Dropping a plastic bag of what are probably groceries, Marona grabs a Pokéball from a nearby table and begins the chase. The Gear is left on the table, so most of the actual chasing is out of the picture, but there are definitely sounds of a Haunter's cackle and various items being knocked over.]

[It's night, and for some reason or another, Carona is out and about with a new Pokémon by her side. Though she's dressed in a winter coat and boots due to no longer having quite the same amount of resistance to the elements, she's still shivering slightly.]

It seems we have overstayed our welcome in Mahogany Town. Which path would it be best to take for shelter? Currently, I am on Route 42, but if I need to take another way I should be able to make it so long as I go quickly.

...Also, for anyone else who was given an Absol: do not reveal it in a city unless you wish to be driven out.

[It starts out half-blacked out and jittery, only for the darkness to leave as the hand obscuring the lens pulls back, revealing a young girl and a Ghastly. There's a moment of silence as she checks to make sure the feed is indeed going, before settling back into her seat in some... nondescript room other Rocket Grunts may recognize as part of HQ.]

Hello. I am Marona. I have read the guide, but I still have a few questions regarding this world.

First of all, has anyone found a method of returning to the world you were in before? I have urgent business there, and I would like to get back as soon as possible.

[And then, a small hesitation.]

Alternately, if anyone has seen a Funguy with a blue top and a golden beard, I would be... grateful if you could direct me to him. He might refer to himself as either Eryngi or God.

[Another uncomfortable pause. There are other questions, but those are the most pressing, and depending on the answers she receives anything else might be rendered pointless anyway. Her decision made, she reaches forwards and cuts the feed.]
