[Cue video post from a new 'Gear on the network. There is a rather flustered-looking young man looking into it with his glasses askew and... He appears to be hiding from something behind a tree.]You have gotta be kidding me. I thought I was finished with the Being Transported To Different Worlds thing for a while... Not that I really mind or

[Hikari blinked, looking over at the pokégear as she and her pokémon were taking a quick break from the whole "walking to Cherrygrove to pick up Tailmon" thing. They were making good time, at least, but they still had a long way to go.

If it wasn't Tailmon, Hikari might've waited or let Daisuke go get her, but well... Tailmon. She couldn't wait, even if part of her knew that Daisuke could probably do it faster since he could have his pokémon fly him to them.

Eevee's out of his pokéball right now, relaxing and for once not trying to beat up any wild pokémon. It looked like he was getting bored fighting pokémon that were a bit weak, which was good for her, since it meant that they wouldn't waste as much time.

Still, hearing this next message, well...]

Jou-san? You're here too?

[Give it a little time and he is not nearly as flustered as before. In fact, he's relieved to see that he's not alone in this one after all.]

--Yeah. And I wasn't expecting to see a friendly face so soon either.

Can I ask to be enlightened here...?

[Hikari giggled.]

Of course! It's not really all that complicated to explain. We're not in the Digital World, though you already figured that out. We're in a place called Johto.

As far as anyone can tell, it is another world. It even has it's own monsters in it called Pokémon.

Vee!

[And there Eevee goes, jumping into Hikari's lap to look into the gear.]

Vee! Eevee!

[He leans in a bit to get a closer look at the dog-looking thing on the screen.]

These animals are kind of like Digimon, right? From what my "Mom" told me, anyway. They sound kind of similar.

I think she's done. She was nice and everything, but... I don't even know how she knew to buy me underwear--

"Not really there"? What do you mean?

[Video]

[credendus]

So it's... Like... Automated?

[foolishwren]

[S... snerk. Man, people reacting to 'Mom' really never does get old... that poor woman. Heather feels like she shouldn't be laughing since there's CLEARLY something wrong with her, but... pfhfhfhhchhptthpt.]

... You, uh... survivin' over there?

[Video]

[credendus]

[No, she's weird. Being assaulted by "mom" is not fun at all okay.]

I think I'm safe now. Unless she forgot to pack my toothbrush, too.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeeaaah, she uh... reacts that way to everybody, for the record. Poor lady... I think she must have Alzheimer's or something.

Anyway, soooo... has someone explained about this place to you yet, orrrrr...?

[Video]

[credendus]

I sort of know what's going on? It's just another world that has a lot of funny-looking animals in it. I think I'm on the right track with that.

If there's more, your help would be kind of nice.

J-Jou-san? [he blinks-- is this... is this real lief???]

[video]

[credendus]

[Unfortunately, yes. Yes it is.]

Hikari-chan isn't the only of us here, huh? That's a relief. But I have a feeling I'm the only one who's out of the loop...

[video]

[soccergoggles]

Nope! Miyako, Iori, Takeru, Yamato-san, and Tailmon are here as well. And whaddya mean Jou-san?

[video]

[credendus]

You guys have been here a while, right? Which... Doesn't make any sense at all.
Not a whole lot is making sense anyway, so why am I even trying--

It's good to have you all here, though.

Leave it ta good ol' mom to get ya off to an... interestin' start.

[credendus]

That wasn't really my aim when I was sending out the message. It just... sort of happened...

[usedfaketears]

Pretty sure it happens to the best of us around here - it's alright. She's like that with everyone, from what I've heard.

So everyone gets harassed over their underwear? I'm glad I'm not the only one.

That's very comforting.
