[Early, early in the morning, a Gear switches on by accident, showing Raven and Atka in the wooded area not far from Cherrygrove city. Those familiar with the surroundings may recognize that the traveling group will reach there within the day

He's currently using Onix plus Rock Throw as a dodging exercise. He laughs at the Onix, having a grand time, and she swipes at him with her tail. No worries, as he flips right over it. He's really fast and flexible. Really flexible. And then he just punches one of those rocks out of the air.
...Yup, strong too.]

...We really need to get you one of your own, Nuru.
[And he trots over to see who's at the other end.] Good morning; I'm surprised others are up so early.

The words of the spirits are better heard when all is still.

I guess that's true. I can't say I've ever heard from them though.
[Chuckling a little, as his Pokémon gather round. How he can stand the Fearow perching on his shoulder, the world may never know]

The ravens marked me as their own from the start. I hear the wise songs of many ages through the bird on my head.
[Raven settles himself on the ground, pleased to meet another who trained such as he.]
Have you been in this world for very long? I do not recognize your companions.

[And he goes around introducing his team, only having to pause when the Octillery decides to hug his head.]
You've already met Nuru; she's a Quagsire. Samehada here is an Octillery--mmph, Samehada, don't do that. Hiramekarei over there is a Gyarados, and the Onix is Anago.
And this, [giving the Fearow an affectionate feather-ruffle, that the Fearow accepts with an annoyed fluff] is Kubikiri Houchou. He's a Fearow.

[Raven solemnly accepts each introduction, treating each pokemon as another person.]
Your team is impressive. My partner is the Miltank, Atka. I have yet to meet another wild pokemon who was meant to travel with us.
By the sound of the names you chose, I would guess that you are from Japan?

[He's very fond and proud of them] They're strong and have trained hard.
Meant to, eh? Most of my squad decided to stay with me on their own.
[But then he shakes his head.] I'm from Water Country, originally.

I would prefer companions who are willing to stay by their own choice as well.
Water Country...I am unfamiliar with the name. My own birthplace is that of Alaska.

[He chuckles] Hoshigaki Kisame, by the way.
[Thoughtful] Another case of different worlds; I haven't ever heard of Alaska or Japan.

And I am Vulcan Raven. [Again, he taps the birthmark on his head.] I, too, gained my name by my unusual pigmentation.
[Though completely blue would be stretching it.]
It is a strange crossroads we find ourselves in, is it not? The dead live among those who are not yet born and the worlds intersect startlingly.
I look forward to the challenge presented.

[Blue with gills and shark teeth, even]
It's strange, how time is turned on itself. [Chuckle] But it's definitely a challenge, even if it's different from what I'm used to.

[His grin turns somewhat fierce] Truly, these new challenges will provide more opportunities for warriors to gain strength.

[A pause, looking off somewhere else for a while] But maybe if there is a reason, we're not meant to just gain physical strength.

Sometimes I have wondered whether we were brought here to learn lessons our own worlds could not provide us with.
