Kay | Pokemon Xenoverse (Fangame | Some mild game spoilers potentially)

[asperalter]

A) Network/Route 29

[There's this feeling you get once you've reached a milestone. The end of a journey. A sense of "What happens now?" "This all feels too good to be true", and so on. Turns out, all of those feelings Kay had been grappling with the last three months weren't unwarranted. Waking up in the bedroom of your parent's home isn't exactly odd for Kay, but the fact that his Mom is not his Mom is VERY odd. He doesn't even have the opportunity to get a word in edgewise before he's been evicted, which was a lot more than he could say for how he had to escape through the window to start his journey the first time.

And the Pokeball on his bedside table was not familiar at all, nor is the little Pokemon he releases from it. Not just in never having met, but he's reasonably sure the little rabbit was of a species he'd never before seen in his life.

Oh dear.

Not one to jump to panic, he took to the routes immediately to head for the first big city with his new Scorbunny partner riding happily on his shoulders. The little guy could tell that this was a seasoned trainer he'd been partnered up with just from the way he handled him, but that didn't mean Kay was any less worried. Where was Trishout...?

Eventually he decides to take to the Network with his Gear, a much more outdated form of Pokedex and device functionality compared to what he's used to back in Eldiw, but it would have to do.]

If anyone out there can hear me...what region is this?

[It's unfortunate it's not Johto and not Kanto, or else he would have at least had some familiarity with it.]

B) Goldenrod

[The treck to Goldenrod had been a long one, but it's by no means a disappointment once Kay arrives there. It reminds him of Hypelion City in a lot of ways, huge and bustling and with it's own mega-mall type establishment to boot. He could go straight there to see what sorts of offerings it had, but instead he chooses to find a bench near the city's center to sit. Mainly, he wants to do some Pokemon watching to get a feel for the types that live in Johto. It's already apparent to him that the X Pokemon aren't a phenomenon here, which is a relief. Many of Eldiw's unique species aren't here either, just as much as there are some he's never seen before.

That much is true of the Meowth he's petting that happened to wander up onto the bench beside him, purring and batting at the zipper of his coat. Anyone nearby might notice Kay talking to himself quietly, or- more specifically- to the Meowth.]

I've never seen a Meowth like you before.

[ A TIME ]

[peachiikeen]

I believe the one we're currently residing in is either Kanto or Johto, with the two connected both physically and over the Network- though I've heard mention of other regions in books and discussed on the news, we don't seem able to contact them unlike the natives to this world.

[ Well, that's probably not the answer you wanted, but it's the answer! ]

*it's Johto not Kanto, typos killing me here

[asperalter]

[That definitely leaves him with more questions than answers, but! He's glad to see someone who seems to be in a similar situation that he is.]

So you're not from here either. Can you tell me what region you're from?

pat pat u_u

[peachiikeen]

[ ... Isn't he an off-worlder too? What. ]

I'm not from this world. I was brought here a couple of weeks ago by an unknown force. My home is Musutafu, in the Shizuoka Prefecture of Japan- though I expect not as many people here have heard of it.

[asperalter]

[He is! Except...he isn't.

Japan? He's never heard of...]

I'm from the Eldiw region. I've heard of Kanto and Johto, but everyone I've spoken to...they tell me they've never heard of Eldiw before. You can get to either region by plane, but I don't remember anything like that.

[peachiikeen]

[ Okay, something isn't right. ]

I... I'm afraid I've seen nothing about Eldiw in an encyclopedias or other texts. And we do have a train station, but no airport...

[asperalter]

[Kay manages to do a good job of keeping his expression schooled so it doesn't seem as much like he's that worried, but...it's impossible to hide everything. Did something happen? Did he have some sort of bizarre encounter with the Xenoverse that he's since forgotten, landing him in some...alternate version of the world? It would explain why Trishout is missing, plus the fact he can't contact anyone from back home. Aster, Alice...]

That's alright. You, uh...you said you were brought here by a mysterious force, right? I' guessing you don't remember much about how that happened?

[peachiikeen]

Unfortunately, no. The last thing I remember was finishing up a performance my class was doing, and how happy and excited everyone was- and then I woke up in that house.

[ That had been some weeks ago, actually. She'd like to think she has since adjusted, but, well. She's still been brought to another world by some unknown, powerful force without notice. ]

[asperalter]

I was at a party. A friend of mine had just officially become a Pokemon Professor...

[Kay sighs.]

It's strange to me that most of the people I've talked to who aren't from this region weren't already familiar with Pokemon. I feel like I'm the only one who already knew about them for some reason.

[peachiikeen]

They're rather new to me as well- but in my world, there are quirked animals. It's rare, but it can happen. It isn't quite the same thing, however. --Oh! Apologies. A 'quirk' in my world is what we call our powers.

[asperalter]

Your powers? You have powers of your own?

[That aren't exclusive to Pokemon? Kay, well...he does have access to the power of the Xenoverse, but that's definitely a special case and not open for most people.]
