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?

the dirk strider is not here i am sorry!!
jake mentioned him though
and i am afraid this is not a dream or a dream bubble
this is a reality although it is not one i previously knew existed!

i can now introduce myself more precisely by the way
i am the maid of the time from the session twice before yours
of sburb i mean
i believe that is the human term for it

Jake, as in, Jake English?
I find it hard to believe that this could be another reality; how could I have gotten here?

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I'm following what you mean from "session"?
The only familiar name is the title and Sburb. Mine is supposed to be the maid of life. What do you mean by human term, exactly, as well?

yes that is the jake i mean! :)
roxy and i are travelling to his birthday part in violet city
i suggest you head there as well!!

when you complete sburb the reward is the creation of a new universe
my coplayers and i completed our session to the extent of doing that
although we were then thwarted
that session was the one prior to yours
those players were forced to preform a scratch which flipped the birth order
of you and your guardians
thereby resetting the session

also i mean the troll term for the game is sgrub :)

Wait, how is it already December? It's November 11th! [Nope, wait, going to stare at that entire little paragraph. Going whaaaattttttt.]

This is a little too much to take in.

oh!
im sorry
i suppose it might be!
would you like me to slow down or reiterate any of my points
or i could speak in video format if you prefer

It's alright, it's just tough for me to believe it.
Dirk always did say my skepticism would be a problem and right now, I'm almost seeing his point.
Yes, that might help!
I still feel so sure that this place is a dream, but at the same time, everything feels so very real.

[ Perfectly happy to help, Aradia will flip on the video function. Although she mentioned "human terms" and "trolls" previously, the screen will show a perfectly ordinary human girl, although her hair is a bit messy. ]

I have had a great deal of experience with dreams! And this isn't one, although I can see why that point of view might be preferable.

[Skeptic forever.] Well, it's not so much preferable as I'm not sure how I got here in the first place. Nothing all that special was happening, that I last remember?

[ Hmm. Aradia's considering it, but she's. been through too much to be a skeptic, not that she ever exactly was. ]

I suppose something special was happening for me, but nothing that would cause me to be trapped in a human game, which Roxy and several others have assured me Pokemon is! And there does not appear to be any particular reason for our arrival here, which is strange...

Oh! What companion did you receive? My own companion is - come here, yes, here. [ Gastly bobs over to peer at the screen. Hey there. ] This is my companion! He is a gastly.

Yes, it is most definitely a human game. [Oh, don't mind her idly fussing with the fake mustache on her upper lip, somewhat unable to help staring at the Gastly. She remembers these.]

I... suppose my companion is something that has a startling resemblance to a gift I was given, if he truly isn't the same being in a disguise mode. [Looking about for a moment, the feed is turned then to show a Buneary standing nearby with both of his ears rolled in, and some snazzy pointed sunglasses.]

I'm not really sure where he got those sunglasses, if he didn't arrive with me. The professor was nice enough to let us explore the lab while he explained things, but I doubt he had any reason to have shades like those.

Your pokegear, which you are utilizing to speak with me currently, should also have a pokedex function! You can use that to identify what sort of pokebeast you have been entrusted with, as well as his or her gender!

[ Helpful helping help. Right? ]

I'm not sure where he would have gotten the sunglasses. Perhaps he borrowed them?

[The most helpful of living guides! Sucking in the corner of her lip in thought as she looks over the device, Jane presses a few buttons until it beeps in annoyance. No, she can't make a call when she has no numbers registered! Eventually, she finds the Pokedex function and the gear speaks a little too loudly through the microphone.]

Buneary, the Rabbit Pokemon. Its ears are always rolled up. They can be forcefully extended to shatter even a large boulder.

[ Ooooh. This isn't a pokemon Aradia was previously familiar with, so she listens into that with interest. ]

There seem to be a large amount of boulders around so that will certainly come in handy! [ Especially if she goes into any ruins or tombs. Which could happen! ] And now that you know what he is, you can give him a name!

[Thinking quietly, she hesitates for a moment before crouching down and offering one hand carefully.] If you really aren't Lil Sebastian, I suppose it wouldn't be fair to keep calling you his name. Would Sebby be alright?

[The Buneary doesn't move for a few long moments, before one ear tips down and snaps out -- only to make a sort of high five slap in Jane's hand.]

I'll take that as a yes.

Sebby is an excellent name!!

Jane, how much do you know about the basics of the pokemon world? Several of your compatriots seem to have played the game they say it is in our universes! I myself never have, although Fiduspawn was similar...

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.
