It's a bit of a confusing story I'm afraid.

Yeah, I figure any story that involves wakin' up someplace other than where I fell asleep is gonna be a lot to take in. [he offers Harry a small, slightly awkward smile]

Sadly we're not really sure how, or why we're brought here. Just that people arrive and are told to go on their way around here.
It's called Johto. And it's some strange world where their culture revolves around fighting monsters with other monsters.

[there's a visible slump to his shoulders at the mention of monsters. He'd been hoping, after escaping Silent Hill, that he'd be done with monsters for a good lifetime or so]
So it's a whole 'nother world? That's... that's not what I was expectin' I'm not gonna lie. But I guess it could be worse. [things can always be worse]
[there's a pause and he looks at Harry for a while, trying to figure out if he's really seeing who he thinks he's seeing]
Aren't you...

[Except for one thing.]
[There is literally one thing she would even remotely consider wanting to go home for, and it's usually with a sort of sick sense of guilt when she considers this because as much as she misses her one and only earthly remaining friend, she always knew that even the prospect of getting to see him again wasn't enough to make her want to leave what had essentially become more of a home than home had been... even though she honestly and earnestly worried about how he was doing without her.]
[LUCKILY?]
[That guilt's about to be remedied.]

[The last few times that's happened, it's been a decidedly unpleasant surprise.]
[At first, she's not even sure she heard right. It's in her pack when she does hear it, and she's out of the hotel room (... and therefore not around for the inevitable Cold Shoulder Coronary (tm) to hit when her father figures out who he's talking to...) and trying to get a vending machine down by the mart to give her something, so his initial message sounds sort of more like "MMmgrzzzpht? Kghmmmrt" or something.]
[... But she's fairly sure she's heard that mumbly voice before.]
[She pauses with her fist raised, tilting her head to the side.]
[Was that...?]

[Cue her diving into her bag so fast that it startles the sleepy Growlithe lying on the cool pavement outside the store awake with a deep woof.]
[When she at last locates the 'Gear, it's around the tail-end of Douglas's message, but that's enough. She doesn't need to hear WHAT he was saying to know that the face on the screen is one she's missed since getting here.]

Are we in space, or some other dimension, or... or... what is this place?

No, we're not in America anymore. I'm not even sure what planet this is.

Planet? So you're tellin' me... you're tellin' me this isn't even Earth?

[Here it comes.]
[THOUSAND-YARD STARE IS GO. Henry spaces out right there in the video chat and doesn't speak for a long, awkward moment.]
I don't think so. Dogs don't breath fire on earth.
Reply
Wait a minute... dogs breathin' fire?
Is this... am I in hell?
[as silly as it sounds, it seems like a legitimate question to Douglas at the time]
