[In truth, Kayo hadn't gone digging in the bag she got because she wasn't even sure the stuff was for her. The lady who gave it to her isn't her mother, after all. Kayo wouldn't want to be accused of stealing.

Given permission, though, she sets the 'gear aside and opens up the little backpack, peering inside. She pulls out the trail mix and the bento box, and underneath she finds the change of clothes. It looks like a school uniform- just not one that she recognizes at all.]

So what am I supposed to do?

[spacebolin]

[Hunk is rather nosey by nature, so it hadn't taken him long at all to dig into the bag that "Mom" had given him. Now, he's content enough to wait while Kayo does the same.]

There really isn't one right answer to that. Heading to the nearest town- that'll be Cherrygrove City for you- might be the best thing to do for now. You'll have to get through Route 29, but your pokemon should be able to help with that.

[pretendingto]

Why? What's in Cherrygrove City?

[Her attention returns to the 'gear, as she blindly re-folds the clothes in her lap.]

[spacebolin]

Nothing life-changing. I mostly mentioned it because it's a straight shot from New Bark Town - that's where you are right now.

[Unless she's planning on settling in New Bark, which he's doubting.]

There's also a warp to Violet City.

[pretendingto]

... Warp?

[You're pulling her leg, right?]

[spacebolin]

Yea? The pokemon centers generally have two warp pads. One that'll take you to the next city in line, and one that'll take you to the one before.

[It's something he's still trying to wrap his head around, but even he can't claim it's not convenient.]

[pretendingto]

[A long moment of just big brown blinking eyes.]

Teleporting isn't real.

[spacebolin]

[Ordinarily, he'd be inclined to agree with her. But he's seen and done so many things that shouldn't be possible.

He's also not particularly in the mood to argue with a child.]

Lots of things aren't supposed to be real.

[pretendingto]

[Good call. Arguing with 11 year olds is never a path to victory.]

What else?

[What else about this place breaks the laws of reality, she means.]

[spacebolin]

[There have definitely been instances where he felt like arguing just for the sake of arguing.

Today is not one of those instances.]

Warping, for example. Or a world full of all kinds of cute, fantastical critters that really love to battle for no apparent reason.

[pretendingto]

Battle?

[Hello?? She doesn't think she likes that...]
