[Okay, so, Jake accidentally hit a few buttons, so have fun watching what looks like John Egbert having a hard time with an overly affectionate Emolga. At least, it's only for a few seconds. It kind of cuts out to text when he falls down on the ground.]

[After a couple moments more, there is a proper text message.]

Jiminy frigging christmas are these pokemon things always so enthusiastic to meet new people?
Jeez.
I apologize for that spot of trouble but the rapscallion wouldnt take no for an answer!
Or stay for that matter.
At any rate is this perchance a dream bubble?
If it is its the weirdest one ive been in yet!

{OOC: It's also action for anybody in New Bark Town.}

A whole swarm? I suppose that would make it a bit difficult if you're trying to get somewhere quickly.

[Gently setting Pirika back on her shoulder when the Pichu leans forward a little too far again, Cheria brings the gear back close so the Pokemon can chitter right back happily.] Oh, of course! My name is Cheria Barnes, it's nice to meet you as well!

Anyway, you're in a world where Pokemon are pretty much the center of everything. The regions are Johto and Kanto; if you're in New Bark Town, you're in Johto. I don't think anyone has arrived in Kanto when they first show up here.

I could write a book about it.

[Siiiiigh.]

Really? Any idea why they don't show up in Kanto?

Were there other creatures besides the fairy bulls? [Unless fairy bulls were really something one could write an entire book about on their own, you know.]

I'm not too sure. You could try asking others who have been here longer, I've only been here about three months myself.

Many! Not all of them are as friendly as the fairy bulls, unfortunately. I think the only other things that are somewhat friendly are the centaurs.

My friend, Jane, would jump at the chance of solving a mystery like that, so I think I might leave it for her. But...three months? Aren't the people on your world, you know, worried about you being here for so long?

Centaurs.. those are mythological creatures that have the torso of a human and appear attached to a horse, right?

Well, I was also told that time freezes when we arrive here, and if you go back, it will be like you never left at all. I've spoke with one person who says he has apparently been here up to four times, and doesn't remember anything about those times.

That's right on the nose! And some of the cats are okay, so long as you're not there when they've got kittens or during mating season or accidentally startled them. They tend to get rather mean when a person does that.

[Totally not experience talking what're you talking about.]

Well, that's convenient. Still, must have been hard on the poor fellow. Is he alright with it?

That somewhat makes sense at least. Normal cats aren't really fond of being bothered during those times either.

He seemed to take it in stride? Time travel is.. normal, apparently, for him.

That's for sure. I suppose the dragon's alright, as long as I keep it well enough alone.

Really? Sounds like an interesting bloke.

I can safely say that the Pokemon here are almost always very calm and friendly, and there are only a few who need a period of calming down after evolving to return to their normal selves. [That's actually kind of confusing, Cheria. Biting her lip in thought, she shakes her head and starts over.]

Let me try that again. There is a Pokemon called a Magikarp, and it's a red fish that isn't very good at fighting. If one takes the time to raise it, it can eventually become a sea serpent.. but from evolving from a simple minded fish to a large, rather destructive creature, does something in its head that the Pokemon itself is highly aggravated until enough time has passed that it gets used to its new body.

It was an interesting conversation, to say the least! He said his name was Dave Strider.

Ah, just like the bipedal crabs! They can get rather cranky for no apparent reason, but it sounds something like them.

[Dave Strider, you say?]

Just so I know we're talking about the same person, did he wear Ben Stiller shades?

Bipedal crabs? That almost sounds silly until I think that they must be larger than what I initially thought.

I'm not sure, we were speaking through text. He was using a red font, if that helps any? [Sorry she don't have information mang 8(]

Most certainly! I think they're about a story high.

Sadly, no, I don't know anyone with red text. Well, if I see him, then I'll know. [He shrugs, not too concerned about it.]

... Yikes. But yes, at least you can ask then! [She's looking a bit preoccupied for a moment, looking past the screen before offering a smile. Ideas, yup!]

Hey, would you like to have a second Pokemon? Mine just had a batch of eggs, and I'm still trying to find homes for them all. [Turning the feed, there's a few different colors in the little group.] I can tell you what most of them are!

Sure! I wouldn't mind that at all. What do you have?

I have a couple different kinds of cats, a couple different kinds of rabbits, a blue dinosaur, a pink.. marshmallow. It's kind of hard to describe what a Cleffa is. [Going to turn her dex on and show pictures of Meowth, Glameow, Totodile, Cleffa.] These are what is left.

The blue dinosaur sounds like my type of Pokemon. Should I meet you some place to pick it up?

This place made it very easy to trade or give Pokemon to others through use of the PCs at the Centers. When you reach Cherrygrove, you can use the one there and your egg will be delivered through it. It's strange, but I've seen it work before when I've received eggs, and they hatch fine.

Oh, good! How do I help the egg hatch? And how long does it usually take?

Keeping it warm and carrying it with you will do the trick, and I think it took Eridan's Totodile about a week to hatch. It's different for each species, but a good portion take only a week.

Excellent! Then I won't have to wait long to see the little rascal. Speaking of rascals, what are your Pokemon like, Cheria?

For the most part, they're fairly relaxed and sweet! I do have a Gyarados, but he has calmed down considerably since he first evolved... evolution for a Magikarp is a bit traumatic, I think.

I wonder why that is.

They start as these very docile fish, and when they evolve, they grow very large and change appearance completely. I can only guess that it does something in their mind, as most Gyarados dex entries describe their incredible anger with their fearsome power.

Oh, dear. You'd think it might be better to keep them as they are if it causes them so much distress.

I don't think most people think of that when they have a Magikarp. They only think about how it'll grow stronger, but not how it changes the Pokemon so much.. I almost wish I could have known before mine evolved. He's alright now, but it still hurt him so much.
