Action

[Whitney woke up slowly. Did she oversleep? Maybe she spent too much time training for the upcoming PokeAthlon that she signed up for yesterday? That always made her extra tired. Except...This wasn't her bed...She shot up and looked around, knocking the box into her lap. She wasn't at home at all! Or inside...She looked down at the box in her lap. What was that? A present? Opening it, she skimmed the contents, not really paying attention to the brochure. She immediately put on the pendant, and looked at the key and cash. She put everything back in the box, but the communication device, and put the box in her pocket. It looked like a weird pokegear to be honest. She got out of her pod, and checked that she had her pokemon with her. She sighed in relief when she felt her pokeballs. She listened to the hologram sort of. She probably couldn't tell you what was said if she asked. Her mind was racing though. Where was she? How did she get here? What would happen to her gym? She tuned back in to hear the end of what was said.]

Wait! Don't go! I didn't catch what you said!

[She could feel herself tear up. She let herself just start bawling loudly at the edge of the bay for awhile.]

Video

[A pink haired girl with puffy eyes showed up on the screen.]

Sniff...I-I uhm don't know what to do...I think I'm l-lost? But can I be lost if I uhm don't know where I'm supposed to be? [She wiped at her eyes.] Can someone help me please?

Oh, no...

[Uh-oh. She's definitely been crying, huh? And that means she was not prepared for this interdimensional bullshit.]

You're still near the Bay, right? Don't worry, I'll be there soon. In the meantime, what's your name?

Re: video

[dynamiteprettygal]

T-the Bay? Uhm...I don't know...I-I'm where I woke up? T-thanks.

Oh! Uhm...I'm Whitney. Uhm what's yours?

[polyheroic]

That's the Bay. I'm on my way now!

[She can be seen starting to jog through the video...]

I'm Rose. Nice to meet you! Can you tell me about yourself? What sorts of things do you like? Think about some nice things, and that'll help.

[dynamiteprettygal]

I'm uhm...The Goldenrod City Gym Leader....And uhm...I love pokemon and battling with them, and uh I've been getting into the Pokeathlon recently...

[But she couldn't run her gym or participate in the pokeathlon anymore....]

Oh! I also like shopping when things go on sale, and uhm keeping up with the recent trends.

[polyheroic]

[She nearly trips and falls over herself as she runs, but picks herself back up...

God. Okay. Play it cool.]

Goldenrod... Gym... Whitney...

The Miltank from hell?!

[that's not playing it cool, rose.]

[A damsel in distress? This looks like a job for TGP!]

GREETINGS, DISTRESSED DAMSEL!! THE GREAT GUARDIAN PAPYRUS IS HERE TO BE THAT HELPFUL SOMEONE!!

FIRST STEP: ARE YOU LOST? OR FOUND???

Re: Video

[dynamiteprettygal]

A skeleton!?

[She just stared for a moment, not sure what to do when a skeleton was talking to her...Was he a new kind of pokemon?]

Uhm..I...I don't know [She looked like she was about to start crying again.] I-I was uhm t-training and then I woke up and-and [Here are the tears again.] I don't know where I am or what's going oooooon!

Re: Video

[cool_skeleton]

[He used to think he was a pokemon, till he got beaned with a master ball to no effect. A dream died that day.]

OH NO! DON'T CRY!! THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL DRY ALL TEARS WITH HIS HELPFUL ADVICE!!! FORTUNATLEY, I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE!

THE BAY! IN GENESSIA CITY!! IN GENESSIA!!!

AND FOR WHAT'S GOING ON...YOU'RE TALKING TO ME, WHO IS INDEED, A VERY COOL SKELETON!

[He's helping]

Re: Video

[dynamiteprettygal]

[She sniffled and wiped at her eyes.]

I uhm...D-don't suppose Genessia is anywhere near Goldenrod, Johto is it?

[She clearly hasn't paid attention to anything. She's been too busy crying this whole time.]

A-as long as you aren't uhm a spooky scary skeleton.

Re: Video

[cool_skeleton]

NO...UNLESS GOLDENROD JOHTO IS A SECRET CITY UNDERGROUND...!

[Keep hope alive.]

IT IS, HOWEVER, CLOSE TO FAYREN, WHERE THE GREAT PAPYRUS RESIDES AND PRESIDES! WHICH IS JUST AS GOOD, IF NOT BETTER!!

OF COURSE NOT!!!

[He rebukes with a mixture of mild offense and confidence.]

THE GREAT PAPYRUS IS VERY FRIENDLY AND CUDDLY, AND HAS NEVER SPOOKED ANYONE!!!

[That he knows of.]

[Gilbert hadn't been here long... a day at best, so he really didn't know much of anything in this place except there were a lot of things that he didn't know. New technology that he had to figure out and the lack of anyone he actually knows here, which was bothersome to ay the least. But it didn't stop him from going back to the place he had stepped out of just in case the others were just still asleep and instead came across someone crying. A woman to be precise...

He had no clue what was the best thing to do, but after a moment he at least knew to ask one question.]

Need help?

Re: action;

[dynamiteprettygal]

[Whitney looked up to the stranger and sniffled.]

Y-yeah...I-I'm lost? And scared... This isn't fair! I h-have a gym to run and-and things to do, and I-I wanna go hoooome! Waaaah!

[It was a moment before she calmed down long enough to talk again.]

B-but...We're all stuck here right? You too?

action;

[feathersandsmoke]

Uh... yeah.

[Stuck here. he knew that was correct and he even tried if it was a lie, but at this moment he knew full well it was. But because of it, he was trying his best to hide how he was feeling. Worried about the situation back home for one and worried about the fact he was the only one here.]

I don't really know much of why we are here, but... I want to at least see if I can find out. Maybe if more people do that we might find a way to get back. [he wasn't sure if that was the best thing to say to someone who was clearly upset.]

Re: action;

[dynamiteprettygal]

There may be a way to get back?

[At least that was the part she latched on to.]

Alright...Alright. Searching for information it is! Where do we start?

[She will definitely lose interest within 10 minutes.]

Re: action;

[feathersandsmoke]

Always possible, right?

[Plus he has people to get back to. Priorities.]

As for where to start, it's always best to figure out which people might know something... But I wouldn't know who in that aspect.

[moves_and_woos]

[The reply on this screen is much less unexpected for anyone not Kukui. It was a fiery bipedal lion-man who looks like it was trying to cheer her up with a show of boisterous flexing that's borderline comical. It seems to be enjoying it himself until the camera is taken away.]

Ha ha! Sorry about that, Cousin! Incineroar doesn't like seeing people upset, to which I can sympathize... The name's Kukui. So now, talk to me. How can I help ya?

Re: video;

[dynamiteprettygal]

[Whitney was stunned by the display for a second. At least she didn't look like she was about to cry anymore. She rarely left Johto, but she was pretty sure Incineroar was a pokemon. Which was great!]

That's uhm okay. Uh...Incineroar is a pokemon right? I believe I've uhm heard of it before...I-I'm Whitney...I-I don't know...I'm so confused... I uhm...I just woke up here, and uhm...By the time I noticed the hologram was there, it was uhm done talking...I think I heard this place was called Genessia? And uhm...that's... it really...

Re: video;

[moves_and_woos]

Sure is! Incineroar is the final form of the Litten evolution line. If you don't mind his showboating, I can introduce you.

But yes, this world is Genessia. And unfortunately, there is no known way for us to leave. But, hear me out on this, Cousin... Think of it as like a new Region! While we can't just pack up and Roll-out outta here, everything this world has to offer is certainly worth a Tackle with all our Strength, yeah!

[A triple pun-a-whammy. Might need to Constrict his mouth to keep anymore from spilling out.]

Re: video;

[dynamiteprettygal]

I'd uhm love to meet him.

[She started giggling at his puns.]

A new region? That sounds like it uhm could be fun...I haven't had much of a chance to explore other regions since uh becoming gym leader so...

[Also...A new world means new trends to sniff out and follow!]

Alright! I've had a good cry, and now uhm I'm going to uhm make the most of this place...totally!

...I'm not really sure how to uh do that though... You wouldn't happen to know uhm any cool places to check out, would you?

video;

[moves_and_woos]

A gym leader? Sweet, cousin! From where? What's your specialty?

As for cool places, it's really all comes down to what you're into. A Safari Zone has recently been set up, so you can go see all the cool Pokémon from across all regions, yeah! Or if you're feeling more adventurous, you can visit the cities that are way different from Alola, or Kanto or anywhere! Like Nova City or Fayren, yeah!

[Sycamore's eyes widen when he sees a video of a young girl who seemed to be crying. Seeing this is his first time seeing her, he couldn't help but answer her call out of worry.]

Hello there. Is there something the matter?

Re: [Video]

[dynamiteprettygal]

[Whitney sniffled and wiped at her eyes.]

I-I'm just uhm...lost...I think? I don't...know where I am anyway...I uhm...was training and then I woke up here, and uhm...I don't know what to do...

Re: [Video]

[megabond]

Oh my... Do you want me to go there to help you? If you like, I can guide you to your new residence. You did see your keys in that box, correct?

[As he said this, his Garchomp can't help but to take a small peek onscreen.]

Re: [Video]

[dynamiteprettygal]

Maybe..[She thought for a second and then changed her answer.] Yes please...

Uhm...Keys? Uh.... [The screen was pointed at the sky for a moment as she went through her box. She picked up the device again.]

Found them! Uhm...There's an address? I don't... know where that is though... [And wouldn't be able to find it on her own even if she did.]

[She looked up to see the Garchomp peaking and gasped.]

You have a pokemon! Are pokemon uhm...common here? I don't see any around right now...But if you have one then there should, uhm be ways to get food and stuff for them right? I can take care of Mil mil and Fae fae here?

Re: [Video]

[megabond]

Don't worry. I've lived in here for a while now, so rest assured that you're in the best of hands.

[Upon hearing the word "Pokemon", he slowly smiled at meeting a new trainer, yet he is a bit worried that a young girl like her was dragged into this strange world as well.]

They're not common here, but Nova City already set up a Safari Zone. Not only you can meet many Pokemon who lived and roam around the cities in some previous phenomena, but you can find some food and supplies for your Pokemon.

And before I forget, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Augustine Sycamore and I'm a Pokemon Professor from the Kalos region. I'm also researching the mysterious phenomenon known as Mega Evolution.
