[The feed clicks on and there's pretty much a wonderful view....of blue, scaly skin.]

Gre! Gre!

[The screen clears to show a young boy, he laughs and takes the device, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.]

Heh, sorry! I sort of told Greninja to play with this until it turned on. Didn't think he'd figure it out so fast.

[He turns and gives a thanks to the frog looking creature behind him before focusing again on the device.]

Can anyone point me to somewhere I can get groceries. Uhm, I'm not really good with directions heh, and I've never even heard of this place.

[Once Ted surmounts his distaste]

Certainly; here, I'll ping the location of the nearest. Pan's Grocery.

[If Ash follows along on his phone, the GPS will show him the exact coordinates of the shop and the quickest route thereto.]

If you're as young as you look, you'll want to stop by the K&H Home too, where most of us under, say, sixteen, are safely held.

[Another ping for the road. Ted's not usually this curt, it's just...y'know, stuff.]

Re: [Video]

[pkmn_hero]

[He blinks and watches a bit before grinning brightly.]

Oh hey! That's awesome! I didn't think these things could do that.

[Okay, silence now as he focuses.]

Okay...we go this way? Alright. Uhm, I'm okay! I still have my backpack so I've got my sleeping bag and stuff.

[He just needed a refill on food for him and Greninja. Then he can go look for the rest of his team.]

Re: [Video]

[youfool]

[Such plucky youth. He's kinda jealous.]

Ehah, yes, it has manifold functions. You'll want to hold it near and dear.

Haha, what, you're going to live in those indefinitely? Won't want for a bed or any domestic pleasures?

[Not that he has really any room to criticize hobo life.]

Re: [Video]

[pkmn_hero]

I have to take care of it?

[Oh boy. Well, he'd managed to not lose his pokedex. hopefully this would stay the same way.]

That's usually what I do, yeap! Beds are nice, I guess, but well,

[He rubs the back of his head.]

I guess I'm not used to it anymore.

Re: [Video]

[youfool]

Eheh, not extremely. One can buy replacements, if you're careless. You've lived a wandering life, then? What could compel one so young to be so rugged?

[Video]

[i_am_here]

There's a grocery store close by. And a Pokemon Center as well, I can give you directions.

And welcome to Genessia City. It's what people call a nexus world, so there's a lot to see and do here.

Re: [Video]

[pkmn_hero]

Really?

[Can you see how excited he is? Can you!?]

That's great! I was hoping there'd be something!

[Annnnd now you've lost him.]

What's a nexus?

Re: [Video]

[i_am_here]

I've sent you directions, just follow them and you'll be there in no time.

[of course, it wouldn't be Ash if he wasn't clueless.]

It's like, a hub world. A world where a lot of places and people from all other worlds appear in.

Re: [Video]

[pkmn_hero]

[That is easier said than done, but hey he's trying!]

Oh! Yeah, that makes sense! Genessia City.

[He pouted slightly though.]

Guess there's not much of a chance of their being a gym here.

[intothelens]

There's no need to apologize. Your pokemon must be very clever if he could already figure out how to work the communicator.

If it's groceries you need, there are a few different places you can go to. I like the convenience stores, because the food is already made and they can even heat up some of the dinners for you, if you're in a hurry.

[Or don't know how to cook. Then again, HIkari didn't want to assume too much. The boy looked young, but she knew Yamato had been cooking ever since he was small. And was quite good at it.]

Do you know where you are right now, exactly? Like, what street or what buildings are around you?

Re: video

[pkmn_hero]

Greninja's the best! And I guess he hung out with Clemont more than I thought.

[Hmm, convenience stores? Those could work.]

I guess, but isn't that food kinda unhealthy? And I don't wnana be feeding that to Greninja. But I can't cook much either.

[He did all the heavy lifting stuff in the camps. His friends would cook.]

I'm in Genessia City? That's about it, uhm. Hang on lemme find a sign!

[And there he goes. He might have forgotten to turn off the video while running around.]

[intothelens]

[Since neither of those names had -mon on the end of them, Hikari was going to guess they were both pokemon names and leave it at that.]

Some of it can be, but the meals in the back are all made of fresh ingredients. Fruits and vegetables and sometimes, if you get there early enough, you can find freshly made sandwiches and even rice balls.

[And before she could offer any more, the screen suddenly started jerking around. As if...he were running.]

Re: video

[pkmn_hero]

[Well, Clemont is a pokemon trainer but Ash won't really mind too much.]

Ah! Here!

[He holds up the camera, showing a sign that says 12th Street and Kennedia Avenue]

Does that help?

[And yeah, his stomach just growled at the thought of all that food.]

[Video] Finally!

[megabond]

[It wasn't long for Sycamore to see Ash on the video, which he smiled at a familiar face.]

Ash! I didn't expect you to be in Genessia!

Re: [Video] Yo!

[pkmn_hero]

[Oh! Hey! Ash grins brightly.]

Professor! Hey! Have you seen Pikachu? Or Noivern? Hawlucha's missing too and Talonflame too but I think they'd be alright.

[So long at Hawlucha didn't try to...okay maybe he should find him first?]

Re: [Video] \o/

[megabond]

I haven't seen your Pikachu or your other Pokemon so far. Maybe I somehow missed them?

More importantly, did you already left for Kanto already?

Re: [Video] \o/

[pkmn_hero]

[He frowns in thought. That was worrying, but hopefully they'd show up. At least he wasn't completely alone. Sycamore and Greninja were around.]

Uhm, no, not yet. We were just heading to drop off Goodra after Serena's big performance. Then, I woke up in this place.

[Ash is just so calm about this. Don't worry Professor, this is far from the weirdest thing he's seen.]

Could you keep an eye out for Pikachu and the others? I know they'll be find but I kinda really miss 'em.

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

Runt! Ty ty!

[Tyrunt is happy to see a familiar kind of Pokemon]

All right, calm down.

*He gives a few directions to the kid*

Yeah, most of us hadn't heard of it before we woke up here.

[pkmn_hero]

Oh! A Tyrunt!

[Hang on Han, Ash has a sort of single minded focus. He looks at Han and tilts his head a bit.]

Is that because it's a nexus? That's what one guy told me this place was.

[Greninja waves at the Tyrunt. There seemed to be all sorts of pokemon around; even ones it hadn't seen.]

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

Yeah, something like that, kid.

[Tyrunt waves back with a stubby arm]

I just wish someone could find a way out of it. I just know we're stuck for now.

[pkmn_hero]

Well, yeah, I guess but. It's a whole new place right? There's tons of stuff to see!

[And probably problems that are going to crop up but Ash is ignoring that for now until eternity!]

Hey why are there so many pokemon around but no gyms or battle domes?

[Video]

[justabitunlikely]

[Have a blond smiling at you.]

Welcome I suppose. I don't think most people have heard of this place upon their arrival though.

Re: [Video]

[pkmn_hero]

Heh, thanks!

[He rubs the back of his head.]

Guess so, but that's a good thing right? It's always great ending up someplace new, even if it might not be where you wanna be.

Re: [Video]

[justabitunlikely]

That's very true, and there's enough to this place to keep people occupied for quite awhile as well.

Re: [Video]

[pkmn_hero]

There's gotta be, this place is huge!

[Especially for a kid from a small town like Pallet.]

I'm Ash! How long have you been here?
