Wherever you are, it's definitely not Hinoto-Ri. And just what are those strange creatures that everyone else seems to be taking for granted?

Sasha & Tsukasa - Fennekin & Espurr

[stringsmon]

There's a small lane just behind the Pokecenter where the houses loom close together, and lurking in the shadows are a pair of strange, foreign Pokemon. The tiny Vulpix-like one is variously pointing at different passerby with one paw and yipping queries to its companion, who is rather more bipedal. The answer to these queries is always the same, however: a brief but intense stare followed by a shake of the head.

Something is certainly going on here.

[Tsukasa is wandering a bit, and he comes across the pair. ... Oh no, they're even cuter than the others...]

[He crouches down a bit.]

Are you two okay?

"Espurr! Purr purr purr!"

The Espurr's eyes do not widen, but there's a definite urgency to its cries. It turns to its companion and waves urgently at Tsukasa.

Sasha takes a peek in the alley and spots the the two Pokemon. These two look unique! She heads to where Tsukasa is and crouches down to the Pokemon's level. "Hello! What are you two doing here? Secret Pokemon stuff?" It doesn't really matter to her that the Pokemon can't talk back.

"Fenne!"

The Fennekin darts forward, tugging at Sasha's shoes. The Espurr, meanwhile, is tugging at Tsukasa's robe, extending its paws upward as if begging for a lift.

Tsukasa carefully moves to pick up the Espurr, holding it gently.

"Are you okay? What happened?"

[stringsmon]

There's a flash of light as Espurr stares into Tsukasa's eyes.

strange men - capture - cage - cramped - friends

The dizzying array of psychic visions suggest that Espurr and Fennekin are looking to save their friends from...extremely strangely-dressed people.

Sasha just stares at the Fennekin for a moment, trying to figure out what to do with it, but then she sees the flash of light. "What was that?" she asks, her attention now on the Espurr.

Tsukasa raises a hand to his forehead, trying to think.

"I... I think it needs help. It... their friends are in trouble."
