[ Someone looks very amused. ]

It seems I have gotten lost and ended up in someone else's home.

[ Ha ha ha... he's very amused by that whole, strange-woman-calling-herself-my-mother thing... give him a moment to chuckle about it.

Ahem, yes. ]

If anyone could tell me where I am, that would be much appreciated. Or point me in the direction of my wife. She's one hot babe, you wouldn't be able to miss her. [ Insert playful wink here. ]

Ah, yes. There was a child, too. Renton. He's a bit strange. [ Ha ha ha. He's just joking, don't worry Renton, if you're listening to this. But oh wait, he can be serious too. This is is serious face. ] He's a nice kid, though. Probably wouldn't do very well on his own.

[ There's a pause, as he contemplates turning off the 'Gear, but there's something else that's been on his mind. Should he mention it? ...

Yeah, why the heck not.

The camera pans to the ground and focuses on ... a rock? A large rock. That isn't moving currently, but might look like a Geodude it has arms. ]

This... ah... "rock" seems to be following me.

[Hello. Have someone who doesn't have the heart to tell you that your wife and son may not be her--- Hey, Izumi had one of those rocks... LET'S JUST CONCENTRATE ON YOUR POKEMON! Okay.]

That'd be a Geodude, it's your first pokémon, Mister.

[Doesn't help much when you're a newcomer, huh?]

And, ummm, you're in a place called Johto, this is the world of those creatures called pokémon.

[papasmellslikethis]

Pokemon?

[ Blank stare. He doesn't know what that is. ]

[lovechronicle]

[...Right, she should have explained that too.]

Ah. Ummm, they are creatures from this world, and there are hundreds of different pokemon species. Some of them are small and some of them are big, they can look almost like anything, and they all come with an elemental type. Their types are electric, fire, water, rock, psychic, fighting, bug, dragon, dark, flying, ghost, grass, ground, normal, poison and steel and ice. And then there are dual types which can be almost any combination of those... Ummm, I guess all of this is a lot of information to take in at once.

Yours is a rock/ground-type pokemon, sir.

[papasmellslikethis]

What... uh... do we do with them?

[ He pokes at the Geodude with his foot. It doesn't move for a moment, so he nudges a bit harder.

It reaches out with an arm to swat his foot away. ]

[seasaltkeys]

You're in Johto. Specifically New Bark Town.

I don't think I've seen who you're looking for. Do you have a picture or something?

[papasmellslikethis]

[ He'll set the 'Gear down for a moment to feel himself up check pockets and whatnot.

After a few minutes of getting to stare at his feet, he picks the 'Gear back up again. ]

No, I'm afraid not.

Lets see... she's about this tall [ gesturing in relation to himself. Not that it helps over the feed... ] and has black hair about... this long.

And she's real pretty.

[seasaltkeys]

I'll keep an eye out for someone like that then.

No guarantees though.

[papasmellslikethis]

Actually, if you can tell me how to get out of here, that'd be very helpful!

[video]

[icansolvethemtoo]

Your wife? I apologize sir, I don't think she's around here. Or your child either, actually...

[Oh that is depressing...] B-but they may come! Sometimes this world brings the most interesting of individuals.

[papasmellslikethis]

...? Where exactly is 'here'?

[ And how did he get here? ]

[icansolvethemtoo]

You're currently in a land called Johto. I think it's a country on this world, but I'm not sure.

[papasmellslikethis]

[ Guuurl... you should know your Geography better... ]

How did I... get here?

[video]

[eclectical]

I don't think I've seen either of the people you're talking about... I'm really sorry! They might show up here eventually, though! "Here" being Johto, that is.

As for that rock that's following you, that's your starter Pokémon!

[papasmellslikethis]

... Is it normal for rocks to follow people here?

[ But the more important question... ]

How do I leave this "Johto"?

[eclectical]

[Jade laughs a bit at his first question...] No, I've never seen a normal rock follow anyone around before. Like I said, though, that's a Pokémon! There are a lot of different species of Pokémon, and they come in all sorts of different forms! Most of them seem to be able to do some really cool stuff, too.

[... and then her expression becomes more serious.] Unfortunately, no one's been able to find a way out of here yet...

[papasmellslikethis]

Oh? What kinds of really cool stuff?

[Video] /sooo late to the party, I'm sorry!

[thetruehistorian]

There are a number of strange children on the roads of Johto. Can you be a bit more specific?

fashionably late o/

[papasmellslikethis]

[ Laughing. That's pretty funny. ]

Well, his name's Renton. He's pretty tiny [ Raising his hand up to his side to show about how tall the boy is ] And he's weirdly emotional about everything.

That doesn't happen to sound familiar?

[Video]

[thetruehistorian]

Afraid not. Is he yours?

[Video]

[papasmellslikethis]

[ He looks a little embarrassed at that question. He hasn't asked yet! He and Ray had talked about it... ]

Ah! Something like that.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[... Okay, so... Heather has a huge soft spot for family men. Any dad who cares enough to ask about the welfare of their kid upon arrival can't be too bad, right?]}

Sorry, but I don't think you're gonna find your family here.

I wouldn't worry about 'em, though.

They're probably fine.

[Video]

[papasmellslikethis]

Well, that's quite a suspicious way of answering...! "sorry, don't know if your family is around, but they're probably fine!"

[ His tone is lighthearted and teasing, so he's not upset by this yet... ]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

--Suspicious?

_{[... Well, on second thought, she can sorta see how it'd come off that way.]}

Well, I mean... they probably ARE, unless there was some kinda total disaster goin' on when you got here...

[Video] 1/2

[papasmellslikethis]

[ He laughs ]

I'm sure they are.

[Video]

[papasmellslikethis]

[ And then, serious face so suddenly you've probably got whiplash... ]

So then it's just me that's in trouble, is it?
