[The video feed flips on and anyone on the other side is greeted with a rather... frazzled-looking young man peering into the camera.]

Uh, hey! [Despite being extremely confused, he still manages a smile and flicks a wave.] I know this probably sounds a little weird, but... Does anyone know where I am?

I mean, I was in--... [He pauses for a

I'm afraid you're in a place very far from home. A world called 'Johto', as it so happens.

[video]

[usedmemento]

Johto...? [He blinks.]

So people go here when they die? [Growlithe barks in the background, trying to correct him...]

What? I was just guessing!

[video]

[antiscience]

I assure you, you're very much alive.

...Though I do admit that I don't know much about this world myself. It seems to be another dimension where people are made to battle with creatures called Pokemon.

[video]

[usedmemento]

[Well, that's certainly not what he was expecting to hear. He's alive.]

Pokemon? [He moves the camera over to Growlithe, who is sitting pretty at his feet.] Like him?

[seasalttwilight]

You're in Johto.

[usedmemento]

That... Doesn't really tell me where I am...

[seasalttwilight]

It's the name of the region. If you just got here, you're probably in New Bark Town.

[Hello, Lockon! You have a crying girl about fifteen feet away from you. Yes. She is crying. Loudly.]

[action!]

[usedmemento]

[Oh lord jesus my ears.

He starts over to her and lightly taps her shoulder as Growlithe sniffsniffs around her.]

Hey, are you alright...?

[action!]

[hittheroadjack]

[well, she turns around and looks at the person and starts to calm down. But. Tears are still flowing and she shakes her head.

Psyduck waddles up to Growlithe and just asks "Psy?"]

[action!]

[usedmemento]

[Growlithe barks quietly at the duck :|]

Don't cry. It's okay. [Not the most comforting thing in the world to say but...] I don't know where I am either. Uh...

[wantnotneed]

[Have a stake peering at your Pokegear from your side, Lockon.]

You talk to these things?

action!

[usedmemento]

[Blinkblink]

Yeah, it looks like a little communicator thing.

action!

[wantnotneed]

A communicator? Hoh~ What happens if I do this? [She reaches her arm out and presses a button on his Pokegear.]

action!

[usedmemento]

Hey--! [And the button-pressing switches up the screen entirely, leading to some kind of... map-like application.]

... Huh... I guess it's more than that... [Oh, now he's fiddling with the buttons, switching through the different settings. Girl, you best not break his Pokegear.]
