[a boy with black hair comes on screen, looking slightly timid. He takes a breath and then displays a cheery smile that seems genuine, if a little bit uncertain. his backpack is visible behind him, the contents carefully stacked outside of it. the trainer handbook and Guide to Pokemon Breeding are next to him, clearly leafed through.]Ah-- hello!

[SUMERAGI-SAN IS BACK. But wait. He looks kind of tiny... And uh... Less emo.

Sumeragi-san from the past?! Oh Johto. YOU DID IT AGAIN.]

That should be your starter pokémon, so yes, she's yours... And trail mix should be safe for her to eat too.

As for the reason why we are here, or why we should train or breed the pokémon... I don't think anybody knows the real answer to that.

[usedmeditate]

Oh! Good. [Subaru is going to give her some of the trail mix, then, causing the Vulpix to lick his hand before cheerfully eating. Nom nom nom.] That makes feeding her easier!

No one knows? Was-- was everyone brought here the same way, then?

[Video]

[isthedeadcat]

In the next city, that's Cherrygrove, you should be able to find pokémon food too.

As far as I know everyone was brought here without an apparent reason.

[Video]

[usedmeditate]

Oh! I'll make sure to look for it. Is-- will I have enough money for it? I don't know how expensive things are yet...

Mine kinda ate my trail mix too, so I think it's okay. She hasn't gotten sick or anything. [A pause.] And yeah, she's yours. Welcome to the wonderful world of Pokémon, or something like that.

[usedmeditate]

Oh! Okay! Well-- that's good! I wouldn't want to hurt her already--... [he woobles a little at the Vulpix as she cheerfully eats more of the trail mix and begins eating it. Delicious.]

[usedkunai]

Nah, I bet she'll be fine. These guys are pretty tough, y'know?

[usedmeditate]

I'm glad! If we're supposed to use them for fighting, and they got injured-- I don't know how people would do it.

[Video]

[hahaidied]

Sorry, but chances are you won't be going back home anytime soon. I mean, it's happened to people before, but not often...

The trail mix should be safe for Pokémon to eat, though, so you don't have to worry about that! And yes, that Pokémon is yours.

[Video]

[usedmeditate]

Not-- not anytime soon? But--! [he looks upset by that possibility, sob.] My sister is still back home, and there's a lot of things I have to do--!

[bakaitoukid]

[This is a familiar yet slightly different face]

Why, huh? [Snort] Good luck finding the answer to that.

Trail mix is okay. Pokemon can eat human food whenever they want to.

[video]

[usedmeditate]

[The Vulpix has apparently taken it upon herself to claim the entire bag of trail mix. It is hers. No one else's.]

I'm glad! She really seems to like it. I wouldn't have wanted to take it away from her...

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

... she seems kinda possessive.

I think she would've found a way to eat it whether you wanted her to or not.

[video]

[usedmeditate]

If it was bad for her, I would have made sure she didn't get it! [Subaru sounds very determined about this. He will be a good Pokémon owner!!]

[ video ]

[photonsaber]

... Mr. Subaru, how did you shrink?!

[ video ]

[usedmeditate]

E-eeh? [Subaru looks extremely confused, then checks himself. He stretches up onto his tiptoes, then back down, and doublechecks his coat... no, it still fits.]

I-- I don't think I did!!

[ video ]

[photonsaber]

Really? You look shorter than the last time I saw you...

[ video ]

[usedmeditate]

You've-- you've seen me before?
