[ As the video feed is accidentally turned on by a highly curious Cleffa, the screaming of a young woman can be heard loud and clear. ]

AAAAAAAAAAAAH, ALIENS! I-I've been kidnapped by aliens! I always knew this would happen! This is a nightmare come true! [ The Star Shape Pokémon examines the Pokégear with childlike wonder, and unknowingly shifts the camera's focus to a mousy, bespectacled young woman in uniform currently sitting on the floor—obviously the source of the screaming. The baby Pokémon harmlessly approaches the panicking Sheska, who immediately scoots away as fast as possible until she's against the wall. ]

Nonononono! Stay away from me, alien! I know what you're planning, but I won't have any of that! [ Blindly reaching for a weapon, she grabs a convenient placed book and throws it at Cleffa, sending both the Pokégear and Pokémon flying, abruptly ending the stream. ]

*pffft this girl.*

... if nothing else, you've been abducted by the most adorable alien in existence?

[VIDEO]

[bibliomaniac]

[ Sheska is just gonna stare at your Shellder for a moment, Isaac. ]

What is that thing? [ It's like... some kind of crazy mutant seafood creature. ]

[Video]

[bibliomaniac]

[ Well, it does look pretty harmless. And it is kinda cute for a 'not' alien thing. ]

So, we're in a place called Johto, and this creature is a Pokémon? [ She shifts the Gear's focus to her Cleffa, who has recovered from Sheska's attack and is curiously flipping through the book. ]

[Video]

[heartbottle]

Yes, exactly! [ Kobato smiles when she sees the Cleffa going over the book. ] See? It doesn't look like it wants to harm you or do anything horrible to you.

[VIDEO]

[determinator]

Correct. It's good to see you here, Sheska.

[Oh please, he's not dead! Just sliced in half by an array, no big deal!]

I assume you've just arrived. Where are you?

[VIDEO]

[glaciates]

[It is some kind of crazy mutant seafood creature.]

It's called a Shellder. You can use the Gear to study it.

[Video]

[k9tantei]

Well, yes an'no? I mean, we've all been yanked from our own worlds, but nothin's come up as a "culprit", so for all we know, it could just be some kind'f weird natural phenomenon here. That or one of th'more powerful Pokémon pullin' us here for some reason, or screwin' up and pullin' us here by accident. [He rubs the back of his head; yay lack of straight answers! Does Arceus count as an alien?]

Yeah, I'm human; apparently if someone who isn't human ends up here, somethin' about the transition makes'em human while they're here.

[Oh hey that kind of left a hole in his answer didn't it?] Er, I mean, I've always been human - was back home, too!

[dreamsoftruelove]

Oh no, they are really very nice.

[VIDEO]

[bibliomaniac]

Uuh. [ She actually doesn't know. Good thing there's a window to look out of. ]

Well, it appears that I'm in a snowy rural village, sir. [ That's totally helpful enough, right? ]

[VIDEO]

[bibliomaniac]

[ Guess who hasn't been paying attention to stuff? ]

The Gear? You mean this thing we're using to communicate?

[VIDEO]

[determinator]

[...Considering the fact that Violet Town is a snowy rural village...]

Unfortunately the majority of the towns here seem to fit that description. There should be a sign somewhere outside that tells you the name of the town.

[Come on, Sheska, work with him here!]

[bibliomaniac]

[ Outside? But... there's snow and it's probably really cold. Plus she's wearing a skirt too. You don't really expect her to go outdoors, right Archer?

...nevermind, she'll go do it. ]

[bibliomaniac]

[ And few minutes later, Sheska replies back. ]

Um, according to the sign, this place is called 'New Bark Town'. It's not really much of a town though...

[VIDEO]

[glaciates]

Yes, that's right. There's information on this world and these Pokémon in your bag; you should probably look through that.

[VIDEO]

[determinator]

[That's what he thought! Alright then, give him a moment to switch over to the map on this Gear... hmm...]

That's not very far from where I am. Would you like me to escort you to Violet?

[...Wait, hang on, he didn't explain the badges, did he.]

In order to return home, you must raise your chimeras - the Pokémon - and defeat the Gym Leaders scattered around Johto. After you've collected all eight Gym Badges you can challenge the Elite Four. Defeating them supposedly will return you home, though no one has proven this theory yet. Violet City is where the first Gym Leader lives.

How is getting kidnapped by aliens a nightmare come true?!

video;

[foreveraclone]

Definitely not aliens.

[VIDEO]

[bibliomaniac]

Because I never wanted to be kidnapped by aliens! It's the worst thing possible!

[VIDEO]

[noodlegoggles]

Oh-- I thought... you wanted to get kidnapped by aliens. Ahaha...haha...hah.

[VIDEO]

[bibliomaniac]

How do you know it's 'definitely not aliens'?

[VIDEO]

[bibliomaniac]

Why would anyone want to be kidnapped by aliens? [ Nevermind that she secretly wanted to, although not quite like this. ]

[foreveraclone]

Because it isn't. [and you're talking to one.]

[VIDEO]

[bibliomaniac]

Why not? [ Not pictured: Sheska acting her age. ]

[VIDEO]

[foreveraclone]

Because it's already been discussed.

[VIDEO]

[noodlegoggles]

I dunno! People say a lot of weird things in this place...
