There's got to be a flashlight in here somewhere...

[There's a soft, light voice coming from offscreen, pointing off into the water with scenery familiar to most beginners; just outside Mom's house, and the lights are off and that door looks quite locked. The user of this gear was patting around, rummaging through a heavy sounding bag, but... something in the darkness moves.

The rustling of plastic on grass is out of place enough to startle the voice, because there's a squeak.]

Is someone there? Hello?

[Nothing but more rustling, and it's weirding the girl out. Picking up the gear and finally flicking on the flashlight that was found, there's a brief picture of her face finally, but something is leaping off screen and making her scream sharply, dropping the gear.]

Hey, are you okay?

[Did someone or something attacked you?]

Y... Yes, I'm alright. [Few minutes later response, but she still looks a bit distraught, holding her nose.] I think a trash bag just jumped at me? [I AM DREAMING, RIGHT?!]

A...trash bag? [OKAY THAT'S KIND OF NEW?] Really?

It had eyes and made this... squealing sound? I ran before it could do anything else. [sob her life]

Eyes and can make sounds?

...It sounds like a Pokemon. Did it follow you?

-- That is a Pokemon? I thought they were supposed to be cute! Not ... an overflowing trash bag! [With the last question, she turns the gear to show that she's actually in a tree, and down at the bottom is indeed a Trubbish, looking like the happiest trashbag in the world.]

Hey, a Trubbish! [He remembers seeing them around! During the Toxicapocalypse.]

Not every Pokemon looks cute. Some of them can be pretty fearsome looking.

But why would this be the one given to me?! [Having let go of her nose for two seconds, she can't take it and just covers her nose, greening at the cheeks.] It smells so awful..

No idea. Everyone didn't get to choose their starter. [He wouldn't trade away his Lanturn for anything, though.] But sorry you end up with a Trubbish.

I guess not.. No, it's nothing to apologize for. I'm just a little confused by everything. I mean, different worlds aren't as strange, but this isn't anything I've ever heard of before. [Not that she hops worlds for a living, but she can't honestly say it isn't possible.]

Alright...but everything about this isn't really normal. The part where we're brought here and get stuck in this world. [He knows about different worlds, but the last he heard, world hopping's pretty dangerous for humans.] There's a lot we don't know about things.

I suppose it isn't. I really don't like the idea that I was just... scooped up like that. I hope my friends back home aren't exhausting themselves, looking for me.

You don't have to worry about them. Time's stopped back home, so whenever you get back, it's as if you never left.

Really? How does that even work?

I dunno. I haven't experience it for myself, but other people left Johto and came back before...if they remember Johto in the first place.

I don't have much of a choice other than to believe it or make myself worried sick, huh?

Yep. I try not to think about it too much, since there's other things you can do here.

Right. Oh, my name is Cheria Barnes. What's yours?

Name's Atsuro Kihara. It's nice to meet you, Cheria.

It's nice to meet you too! How long have you been here?

I've been here for over a year now. [Which is still surprising to him.]

Over a year?

Uh huh. Dunno why I'm still here for that long.

Maybe there's something you're supposed to do, that this world needs you to do.

Like that chosen person thing from stories? [He smiles, even if he doesn't think he's that important.] Maybe! But that means figuring out what it means.
