[It's obvious from Aya's face that he's confused by this situation. However, the little Eevee is doing his utmost best to help him!]

Vweeeeee~! [He stares at the creature a moment before glancing at the pack it seems to be indicating. Going through it, he sighs. But, at least he has supplies.]

Who are you? [His voice is gentle and he holds

[deadfreesia]

...Aya-kun.

[secret_sword]

[It takes him a moment. But yes, he recognizes that face.]

Mamoru.

[deadfreesia]

[Give him a moment to get over the surprise of seeing you at all... and a smile.]

Yeah. It looks like we're all together again now. We've been waiting for you, Aya-kun.

[secret_sword]

For me? Then perhaps "we" could tell me where I am?

[deadfreesia]

...I don't think you would believe me. The truth is--

Toge, toge?

[A little yellow spiked head pokes in front of the camera.]

Togepi.

[Mamoru moves the Pokégear so that Togepi can't climb in front of it again. This means Aya now has a bit more of a birds-eye view of Mamoru and the little egglike Pokémon in his other arm, which is now trilling cheerfully and waving at Aya with both of its stubby little arms.]

We've become part of a children's video game, it seems.

[secret_sword]

[He blinks at the strange creature before his own pops up to say hi too.]

Vreeeee~!

[He sighs but he smiles too.]

That's enough now.

[deadfreesia]

[Mamoru's turn to blink. That... Okay. He's smiling. Can't really help it.]

It becomes easier. Ken-kun and Youji-kun are here, too. We're stationed in the next town.

It's a three-day journey, but not difficult. You may encounter wild Pokémon; your starter should be able to win against them in a fight. The supplies you need are in the bag.

[secret_sword]

I think I can manage three days.

[Especially with Eevee snuggling his chest.]

[deadfreesia]

Yeah. And Ken-kun will meet you halfway with extra supplies, I'm sure.

[secret_sword]

He did say as much.

How long has it been raining?

[deadfreesia]

Almost a full week.

[secret_sword]

I've seen worse, I suppose.

[deadfreesia]

Yeah.

Hopefully, it will clear soon. It can't hold out forever, right?

[secret_sword]

The rain will often last as long as it should.

[deadfreesia]

I hope you're able to remember that as you try to find a place without mud and standing water for your sleeping bag tonight.

[He's actually sincere about that.]
