Where: Pokeworld!
Summary: The Ebon Triad is up to no good, and the Shining Trapezohedron has sent Visitors to stop them.

No matter what you were doing before, when the dazzling flash of light clears you find yourself at the base of a Ferris wheel in what seems to be an amusement park, a vague memory of someone asking 'Now, are you a boy? Or a girl?' running through your head.

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?

[M'gann frowns at the question.]

I don't actually have any Pokemon.

Pokemon Centers are usually bustling places filled with Trainers and locals going about their business, which makes the sudden dead silence at M'gann's announcement even more striking. The only sound is from the girl at the free PC, who straightens up and glances over at the desk before stepping briskly over.

"Oh, there you are! Megan, right? We've been looking all over for you!"

She turns and addresses the nurse.

"Sorry, she's part of a tour group I'm escorting."

M'gann might recognize the girl as someone from the slumber party Nano held a short while ago.

[hello_mgann]

Kotoha, right? Is this your world? Why did everyone seem so shocked that I didn't have a Pokemon?

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha nods.

"In order: yes, that's me, this is my world, and it's ridiculously dangerous to travel around without a Pokemon."

She looks...worried.

"What's going on? There shouldn't be anyone else from Hinoto-Ri here!"

[hello_mgann]

Well if I'm here it probably means there's trouble coming. It also means that there will be probably be others here as well.

So what exactly are Pokemon?

[unbroken_chain]

"They're, uh...okay, short version: living creatures with fantastic powers that cooperate and live with humans."

And now Kotoha is just thinking. Really hard.

[hello_mgann]

That sounds neat. They like helping you right?

[M'gann notices the look on Kotoha's face.]

Is something wrong?

[unbroken_chain]

"There's probably more people from Hinoto-Ri here...if they're just wandering around and end up leaving the city it could get really dangerous."

Kotoha comes to some sort of internal decision before triggering something on the watch that isn't the one from Hinoto-Ri.

"Hi, Elesa? Yeah, this is Kotoha. Listen, could you do me a favor? I was escorting a Kanto tour group around - a favor for a friend, actually - and they've kind of gotten scattered all over the place. Could you get the word out that if there are obvious tourists around they should meet their guide at the Pokemon Center? You will? Thanks so much!"

With that done, Kotoha switches off her watch and turns to M'gann.

"Okay! Hopefully, that should get any more arrivals to show up at the Center like you did. You up to waiting?"
