[It's the Dodrio that went ahead and gave her away, yeah. She gives the bird a curious look, what a crazy creature, before turning to Rakka again.]

Oh, that's cool, I'm still getting the hang of it myself. [She shrugs once before blinking.] Oh, we don't have to start right away. I don't mind waiting until you finish feeding your Pokemon if you want.

Oh, really? Thank you, I... [Was just in the middle of that. Whoops. She does get back to it almost immediately, not wanting to let this girl wait forever on her.

Her Dodrio continue to scarf down pokepuffs until they're gone, and while they're sorting that whole thing out, she turns back.]

...Uh, did your Pokemon want any?

Aaaaah!

[He scream, but he doesn't drop the PokeGear this time.]

Somebody else's voice is comin' from my mallet!

[He leans in real close to peer at her little image in the screen. Reeeally close. Uncomfortably close.]

Are you talkin' to me through this videomajig, too?

[The sarcasm doesn't seem to slow him down, even for a second. On the contrary, he just seems excited.]

Yeah, sure, take your time.

[As eager as she is to get to a battle, she doesn't mind waiting a little bit. She just kind of barrel in here.]

Thanks, but [she tilts her head, grinning a little] if we're about to battle, I kinda want to keep my team a surprise.

[Hermione was surprised there was a laboratory in this small town. Usually they were based in major cities where they could access the resources and funding required to operate. She wondered what it specialized in? She also assumed that the woman on the other end of the network was joking about breaking in. At least, she sincerely hoped so.]

It's nice to meet you, thank you for responding so quickly! Actually, there's quite a lot I'd like to do some research on, including this Solosis. I don't suppose there's some kind of public transport I could take to get to the library quicker, like a bus or train?

[She hadn't seen any signs for public transport anywhere, but that didn't necessarily mean there wasn't any.]

[She frowned, biting her lip.]

Given your response, I take it that there have been a few...instances of people arriving unexpectedly?

...Oh.

[Not... really something she ever considers. Shows her that much.]

I understand. That's just fine with me. [She looks back. Dodrio has finally managed to finish their meal, without bickering that much on top of it. Seems like it's going to be a nice day.]

Well, it looks like they're done. [She smiles.] Do you want to start now?

I don't suppose you could elaborate a little? I'm unfamiliar with the area, so I'm not entirely sure which direction I should be travelling in. Is there a specific road I need to follow?

[She pauses for a second.]

Perhaps a tourist information centre?

[ ... are they okay? ]

I can see your messages just fine.
All of them, actually. Did you intend to send each one?

You'll be walking for several days, at the very least.

[ He sends her a map, helpfully outlining the fastest and shortest route. ]

As far as an information centre, you'll find you'll get plenty of help from those who've arrived here, like we have.

[Hermione's face falls a little. Meanwhile Solosis has given up trying to get in front of the camera and is bobbing around behind Hermione, examining her hair.]

Thank you for the map route, it's greatly appreciated.

[She studies it for a moment.]

Several days? Isn't there some kind of public transport I could take? I mean, I'm sure the scenery is lovely and all but...I'm kind of in a hurry.

Er...exactly how many people have 'arrived' here? And exactly where is 'here'?

[McGucket, of course, has picked out the most important part of that post to respond to. He needs to stop hitting that PokeGear. Do otterboxes for PokeGears exist? Someone should really get him one.]

Yes? Oh! Yes, I'd love to battle! You said you're new, though?

Unfortunately not, at least none that will be available to a newcomer yet. One of the first things you're likely to notice about this world is that it can be quite selectively backwards.

[Advanced communication and teleportation, but no weapons or paved roads between cities.]

On a regular schedule, even. There are under a hundred people from other worlds here, at a rough count, but that number fluctuates weekly.

[Hermione's face fell a little. That's a long hike, especially on her own in a totally foreign environment. She glanced at the Solosis. Well, perhaps not entirely on her own. She was desperate to find a way to get back home though - she was sick with worry for Harry and Sirius. Did the Dementors get them? Or were they here too?]

But...I mean, there seems to be some sophisticated technology here wherever here is. It's surprising that there aren't better services for travel.

[She sighs. Well, nothing to be done about that right now. Priorities, Hermione, priorities.]

You seem to know a bit about this place Ms...er...? [Hermione suddenly feels rude for not asking this lady's name earlier.]

Are you a native or did a similar thing happen to you?

If this has been happening for a while, surely there must be some kind of explanation or investigation into this. I mean, people just don't appear in a completely different world for no reason.

[Even being a witch, that's a sentence Hermione never expected to be saying.]

[Video: Violet City]

[It has taken a very long time for Lucina to figure out the Poke'gear with enough confidence that her message today is completely intentional! She sits with the 'gear set atop her backpack, somewhat tilted, and the Jangmo-o she had been so graciously gifted with is held in her lap, expression sour - someone is obeying orders to sit still under protest, it seems. Lucina herself...tries to smile, but the expression comes off more nervous than friendly.]

Good day. I...wanted to pose a question to everyone about a problem Anri and I have. [The Jangmo-o grunts, shutting his eyes.] You see...Anri likes very much to chew on things. I don't mind this, but no matter what I tell him, he will not stop chewing on one specific thing that should not be chewed on. [She shifts Anri into the crook of one arm and reaches out with her now free hand to take up her 'gear, shifting the view to show a gold diadem - one usually on Lucina's head.] I have explained to him many times how this is an important keepsake from my mother, and I offer him other things to chew, but he will not take them. I think he has gone out of his way to discard the toys I give him as well. Is there anything that might be better for him than my personal effects?

[With her question posed, Lucina places the 'gear onto the grass and...it takes her a good minute to figure out how to turn it off, so enjoy looking at her furrowed brow as Anri squirms and nibbles gently on her forearm to try and get free.]

I suppose simply encapsulating the thing longterm is not an option you're willing to consider, then.

Your skills of observation continue to astound, sir.

[Said with perfect seriousness.]

I think you'll find that the mallets here are rather more technologically advanced than those you're used to.

I think you'll find this world makes a great deal more sense if you consider it less as a place which arose organically than as a constructed setpiece of some kind.

[There's even background music.]

Just Missy is fine, Miss Granger. I appeared here one day under highly similar circumstances.

And you're completely correct, there is almost always a reason when people are kidnapped across space and time. Unfortunately the actual 'why' of our situation is still a mystery, despite efforts to the contrary.

[ A tense looking young man appears on screen, the gear shaking subtly from the nerves and grip he had on it. She reminded him a little of Modesty. That helped. It helped a lot.]

You are.. you're also in New Bark? I haven't seen.. I mean, I don't.. see a library.

This.. isn't helpful, I'm sorry. I think it's just a little town. There's another one near by.. just.. a few days they said, walking distance..?

[He sounded unsure of the very information he was trying to relay.]

[It took him a long time to figure out the gear. Of course it did. When did he do anything right? Never was still too often.

But he had the gear working now. He could reach out. What was he supposed to day though? Surely he would sound foolish to the people here.]

Fenn~?

[The fox--Fennekin, stupid Credence. It was a Fenniki--SHE. He was messing up so badly. Her little paw pressed against his hand to try and snap him out of it.]

Sorry.. I'm sorry. I.. I wanted..I don't know what.. I mean, I.. I think Mr. Graves sent me here.. he must have. Ma was .. she was angry so he must have sent me here to keep me safe for awhile. Maybe he found what he was searching for so now I'm here..

Or maybe he just.. didn't need me..

[There was a sheen in his eyes, distress sinking in with reality. The Fennekin put both paws on his hand now and gave a little shake.]

I don't know why I'm here I guess. Or where.. any help would be.. helpful. Appreciated I mean.. I can't even talk right.. I'm sorry. Thank you.

[He awkwardly smooths his hair down, glancing at the fox as if for validation that he did okay. The Fennekin bumps her head against his shoulder approvingly.]

That's a weird thing to chew on. Like really weird.

[Does it. Eat metals, or something?]

What kind of toys did you give it?

Oh. Hey man. Uh- did you just kind of wake up here out of nowhere? Cause that's what happened to me, and I don't think anyone sent me here.

[He thinks for a second.]

I'm pretty sure, anyway? Like ninety, maybe eighty percent.

[Yes, that was a small note of panic in his eyes. If Graves didn't send him here then how did he get here? It couldn't have been his mother...was it Modesty?

Was she..?

No, impossible..]

Yes.. yes that's how it happened. I was.. Ma was scolding me, them I was here a moment later. Not that I know where ...here.. is..

Maybe its.. a large.. spell of sorts, maybe.. do you know Mr. Graves too?

Might be a spell? I was thinking some kind of freak wormhole accident, but I guess they're kind of part magic? I don't really get it.

I don't know anyone named Graves, though.

[Unless that's Coran's last name or something, but that absolutely doesn't fit him. Maybe that's why he just goes by his first name? Questions for later.]

Uh- this might be kind of a weird question. But. Are you human? Cause you look human. Is this Earth?
