Hey! This better be working, because like I asked that woman... What is going on?!

[So sorry for the sudden yelling, Johto. There's one angry girl on the line, hiding her confusion behind, well. The volume.]

Yes yes, it's nice to be back in some place with some sense of reality...

[As she quiets down a soft, constant “Pip! Pip! Pip!” can be heard in the background, unheard or unacknowledged by the girl talking.]

But, I was supposed to be inside a shrine, not running around some quaint little town with animals as weird as Mokona! It's probably that thing's fault to begin with. When I find that marshmallow-

[She's mumbling to herself now, making the background cries all the more noticeable. Enough that the caller snaps at the source.]

Would you quit doing that?! I don't know what you want!!

[One last “Pip!” and out goes the call. Please allow five seconds for ears to stop ringing.]

[Cyndaquil, schmyndaquil! He's uttered the name she thought!]

Mokona or not, that has to be her!!

Hikaru's stuck here, too? Where?!

[Video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

-it's been wanting my attention all day!

[And now for a dance of "how to get a monkey penguin off my back".]

[Video]

[will_to_burn]

[ O-oh, that dance is... ]

Maybe you should talk to him, then. He's your partner and you're going to be working together from now on, so it's important to get off to a good start! Maybe he wants something?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Well, that'd be why you should get to the next town ASAP so that you can actually feed yourself.

AND your Pokemon.

[shadowdive]

Red haired, kind of derpy, talks about friendship? [Let's make sure we're on the same page here.] Last I heard, she was heading to Olivine City. [Because he said that's where he is, when liar liar pants on fire..]

[video]

[combat_butler]

... ah.

You've never heard of it before showing up here? You must either be from right before it hit it big, or you just don't go anywhere it would be advertised...

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

-don't call her derpy.

[And yet she acknowledges that Hikaru's who he described. Whoops.]

How far away is Olivine?

[Video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

Do you know how far it is from the first town to the next one?

[video]

[shadowdive]

She is. Hopelessly naive too. [Yep.]

Too far from New Bark Town. Probably a months worth of travel, walking on foot.

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

...perhaps...

[Something seems off about the whole thing, but she can't put her finger on it like this.]

What series are you talking about, though?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Three days if you keep a good pace.

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

...perfect.

Then I'll just have to focus completely on finding her!

[Video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

...and I'm supposed to feed myself next there?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yep.

So better get a move on, and be happy it ain't winter.

[video]

[combat_butler]

... er... Pokemon? You definitely must be from before its time...

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

-this is some sort of story?

[That would fit with the fantastical of it all, but can he read her utter "oh no not another level of insanity" face?]

[Video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

-alright, alright!!

Come on, Penguin! If we want to survive, we have to reach that town!

[video]

[kyoukashotennis]

Were you close to saving the princess? This place must have the worst timing ever...

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Happy sailin', soldier.

_{[... Not... that there was any sailing to do on Route 29, but. You know.]}

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

Who knows. We were just getting somewhere - I think - but everything on that journey sounded straightforward to start with.

And then we got a misleading marshmallow for a tour guide.

[video]

[usedquack]

That is what they're for. [Obviously not happy about that.]

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

That- I'd rather just fight through to the end myself!

[....not the same reasoning but, overlapping opinion?]

[video]

[combat_butler]

... if there's a plot to all of this, I don't think any of us have raised enough flags to get a good view of it.

[video]

[shadowdive]

You could just call her. She'll meet you partway, I'm sure.

[video]

[learnedwaterpledge]

-it's probably not even possible, if we're in it.
