New Bark ☆ Route 29

[nevermagica]

[ Hitomi was quite confused. Suddenly faced with a confused woman who was not her actual mother and rushed out the door. She paused to look down at her Pokemon companion, a female Bulbasaur, who helped her discover that she could communicate through the PokeConnect. Hitomi turns the video feed on before thinking of what to say, quite frazzled and confused by her strange situation. ]

[ Video ]
Oh my, this is most... I don't really know the word, 'confusing' seems to be a bit of an understatement...

My name is Hitomi Shizuki. I hope someone may be able to hear me... I do not quite know where I am? I apologize if this seems silly or strange to say, but I'm quite certain I was not here before or even brought myself here. Any assistance in understanding how this happened would be greatly appreciated. Is there a taxi service I could call to bring me home again?

[ Action ☆ Route 29 ]
[ After she gets a handle on the situation, Hitomi will immediately head out along the route. It's not something she's used to. Going about by foot is very common back home but she walks on pavement and has signs to direct her. This is much different and the overwhelming nature of it all has put Hitomi into a slight daze. She almost forgot about the Bulbasaur that was following her until it called out its name. She pauses, letting it catch up. ]
My apologies, I'm still quite unused to this... oh, I suppose you may be lonely, hm? [ She stops to dig around in her bag and pulls out a Pokeball. ] Let's see if I can figure this out and find you a friend, shall we? I'm afraid I may be poor conversation in comparison...
[ One may find Hitomi struggling to master the art of Pokemon battles as she walks along the route, stopping for every wild Pokemon that her Bulbasaur sees. She calls out commands awkwardly and keeps switching up her combinations of growls and tackles. ]

_{[Blink. Blink. What a familiar face...]}

Shizuki-san?

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

Arah?

[ Hitomi stares curiously at the video... isn't that..? ]

... Akemi-san? Is that you?

video; sorry the icons on the other account expired orz

[timeresets.livejournal.com]

Mmhmm... u-um... Shizuki-san, you're in Johto now. There isn't a way back home... n-not that anyone knows of, I mean.

It's okay!

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

Johto...? Yes, I'd heard that this place was called that... Are you certain? I'd really rather not leave Madoka-san and Sayaka-san on their own right now, truthfully. I really cannot stay here...

[timeresets.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm sure... i-it's a little confusing at first, but we're in a completely different world right now.

_{[Wait what's this about Sayaka... she'll ask later.]}

Ah- K-Kaname-san... um, Madoka is here, too, actually. W-We're both in another city right now, though.

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

Madoka-san is? But I could be certain I had only just seen her this morning... no matter. I'm glad to hear that. I take it, though, that Sayaka-san is not here...?

And oh my... more cities? However did you get there?

[timeresets.livejournal.com]

It's a little complicated, I guess... _{[Or more than complicated.]} U-Um, no, Miki-san is back home, I guess.

Ah, w-well, a friend came to get us with his Pokèmon, and took us to Goldenrod.

Eh? Ummm... I'm afraid that there isn't a taxi service that can bring you back home.

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

Ah~? None at all?

My, then... Is there a train or subway somewhere? This places seems to be in the country and must be far from my home..

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

W-well... I think it's a little more complicated than 'far from my home'. It's more like 'far from your world'.

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

Far from my... oh my. Perhaps I should have taken manga more seriously...

[ She jokes softly, trying to disguise her panic. ]

You're joking, yes?

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

... I wouldn't joke about that.

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

[ Hitomi believes that. This person doesn't seem like the type to lie... which just troubles her further. ]

... Are you absolutely certain? Things like being taken to other worlds... those things cannot be real, you know.

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

I can't say that I would be best example to tell you what's 'real' and 'not real' considering the situations I've been through.

If you want... I can suggest pinching yourself on the cheek to make you realize that this isn't a dream. It's very real.

[areyouderpy.livejournal.com]

Um...

I don't think a taxi service would help.

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

Arah... Are you certain? Perhaps there is a train station...?

[areyouderpy.livejournal.com]

Um... well... no, that's not it either. [A pause.] Where are you from exactly?

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

Japan... Mitakihara Town...

Certainly not here, at any rate.

[areyouderpy.livejournal.com]

Ah, you're from Japan too? [A beat. Welp, this is tough.] Etou... this place isn't really anywhere near Japan though. It's uh... not on Earth either.

[ That's a face she didn't think she'd see for awhile. ]

Hi- Hitomi-chan?!

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

Arah, Madoka-san. There you are. Thank goodness, I was afraid you would not hear this message.

[usedhealingwish.livejournal.com]

Ehehe... I think I'd hear and recognize your voice from anywhere. It's really good to see you again.

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

You as well, Madoka-san. I'm relieved to hear you're doing well. I was quite worried.

Are you still in Goldenrod?

[usedhealingwish.livejournal.com]

I was worried about you too.

Mm! I'm still here. Ehehe... unfortunately, there's no taxi service to get here. You're going to have to use something called a pokémon to get here.

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

... Well, if that should be the case then I suppose I've got very little choice. A friend of yours has offered to take me to you, so I hope to see you shortly.
