Mr. Strider, I have a request for your attention? Lil Sebastian has ... well, I can't really say he's gone missing, but I'm a bit confused. You said he had a stuffed rabbit beneath his exoskeleton, and now he seems to be wearing it on the outside. Was that some sort of "blending in to get the tactical advantage" setting I don't know about? It's bad enough that I still have to repair Poppop when I "return home", but I don't think Dad will take to a sunglasses wearing critter running about; at least with his more robot-looking appearance, I could have him hold still and pretend to just be a toy you sent.

Honestly, this entire little charade going on around me is nothing short of eyebrow-raising. I can't really have been transported somewhere when all that's happened is Lil Seb looking ready to drop the fridge; I haven't even had the opportunity to get my game yet!

[There's at least a good four minutes before the next text shows up.]

This isn't some ironic test to make me less skeptical about what I'm hearing and seeing, is it? Or is this suddenly one of the occasions where I'm being caught by a giant, squishy, foam butt and have yet to wake up from the weird dreams?

It's been a handful of years, but I think I remember the basics. I'm to collect Pokemon and raise them to take on gyms and "become a master"?

Yes! There are apparently two classes: breeder and trainer! I myself am a breeder, as is Roxy, so our goal is apparently to breed the best pokemon, although we could also challenge gyms. Jake is a trainer, so his goal is what you just stipulated!

[She's digging around into her bag for a moment before pulling up a "trainers guide".] It seems I'm a trainer as well! Hoo hoo, this is sounding pretty exciting! An adventure and a mystery of how we got here!

Yes, there are both of those things! ...Although I'm not actually certain if there are any clues as to the latter portion of that.

I haven't even given it the old Crocker go over yet, so I'm hoping I'll dig up something!

Well, if you require assistance in searching, I'd be more than happy to help once we're nearer in physical location!

Hoo hoo, I would like that. Thank you, Aradia!

No problem! The answers could be interesting, don't you think?

Most definitely! I'll have to give you a call later so we can bounce ideas about. I should likely get on the road!

Yes, do take care!! If you meet up with any trainers from this world, they'll expect a battle.

They won't know what hit them when we're done and walking away, hoo hoo!
