[ WHO WANTS TO SEE THE INSIDE OF A BABY TOGEPI'S MOUTH? Yes, that's right—Rosa, not knowing what else to do with the strange metal square-thing, gave it to her baby Pokemon as a toy. And the damn thing turned it on.

...Okay, now it's just snuggling with it, which means you can see out into New Bark Town. The Togepi is comfortably snuggled in its owner's arms, while said owner is talking to herself. ]

...Cecil? Kain? Can anyone hear me? I'm afraid I don't know where I am....

[ Sigh. She knew it was a long shot...after all, this doesn't look anything like the tower she was in. Or anything she knows, for that matter. ]

I wonder if I can find someone who knows how to get back to Baron...what do you think, Cece? [ Shifting the Togepi in her arms so that it's facing her—and you get your first clear shot of her face. Pretty young thing, isn't she?

And now she's wandering around New Bark Town for a bit. ]

[Cecil was absentmindedly listening to his Pokégear, when he heard that voice.

That voice he could never forget, no matter how many words separated him from it. That voice he'd dreamed of every night since he'd arrived in Johto. That voice he'd thought he'd not hear again, until he finally found his way home.]

[When he finally dared to look at the screen, he took in everything: her eyes, her face, her hair, her clothes... Yes, it could only be Rosa. A Rosa that has not known the last seventeen years of their life, but Rosa still.

He's been staring at her for a few seconds, now. He does not care.]

Rosa...? Rosa!

[ Going to assume the video was left on! So she is....noticeably going to respond to Cecil's cry. After all, it's Cecil. The voice might be slightly different, but she recognizes it in a heartbeat.

Looking around wildly now for you, Cecil. Want to show her the magic box? ]

Cecil? Cecil, is that you? Where are you...?

Rosa! My voice is coming from the Pokégear, your Togepi was playing with it! Are you safe? Did you just arrive?

[Bless this world and its technology, which allows him to see her even though he's days away, though he won't be days away very soon if he has any say in this.]

Pokey.... [ She does not compute that part, but at the very least, 'Togepi' sounds familiar. ] Do you mean Cece?

[ Helpfully, the Togepi offers the Gear to her, so she takes it. And sdkfjdskjfsdjf magic box. ] What....is this? Is it magic? [ Trying to touch you through the screen now. ] I've never seen anything like it....

[ Oh, right, questions. Her voice is warm. ] I'm fine. Yes, I got here only a short while ago.

Cece? Is that what you named it? Yes, that would be a Togepi, your Pokémon.

[Oh, that's right, she's not had the chance to see all that new technology yet.]

The Pokégear is a machine, not magic. It allows us to communicate over long distances in real time, like Whisperweed. This world is filled with strange machines beyond anything our world has created.

[He realizes she'll need explanations very soon.]

You are in New Bark Town, then. You and Cece are meant to go on a journey in this land, to catch and train Pokémon.

Ah, yes....it felt strange, not calling it by a name, and she doesn't seem to mind.

A machine? [ Staring at it in wonder still. ] I can see you...this is amazing, Cecil! Are you very far away?

[ Amazing and a bit overwhelming. Trying to make sense of this, now... ] Are all "Pokémon" like Cece here? I haven't seen any others.

Giving them nicknames is perfectly fine, and even encouraged. I called my own starter Rosie.

[But his fond smile quickly falls.]

...I am, in fact. I'm in Ecruteak, a two weeks' walk from where you are if you take a particuler shortcut. Edward and Rydia are with me.

[Not that he cares about distances. Flare will cut that travel time short easily.]

There are hundreds of species of Pokémon, and Togepis are only one of them. Between New Bark Town and Cherrygrove, you'll see Pidgeys, Rattatas, Hoothoots, Sentrets and Hoppips.

[ Rosa can't help but smile at that. Looks like he had a similar idea. ] What is Rosie like?

Edward and Rydia? What of the others? [ Worry worry worry. ] I can take whatever shortcut necessary, Cecil. Should I follow the road out of town?

I...see. I'm afraid I'm still a little confused, but I suppose I'll see for myself soon.

You can see for yourself. Rosie, please come here!

[Rosa, meet Rosie the curious Clefairy.]

The four of us are the only ones from our world here, sadly. ...You'll not be able to open the path yet. However, if you follow the road to the next town and go north once you've rested, I could meet you in about four days and a half.

[That poor Arcanine.]

It's extremely confusing at first, but this world is very peaceful. You'll have the chance to learn at your rhythm, without pressure.

[ Rosa is curious, too! Tapping the screen again and smiling. ] Hello, Rosie..!

And you are all safe? [ Primary concern! ] I will start out soon, then, and hopefully I'll make good time.

[ ...Probably a good thing she doesn't know your plan, because she'd rather wait a number of days longer than cause your Pokémon pain. ]

I am sure that, with your help, I'll be able to learn all that I need.

[ Who is this, machine? ]

Yes, he and I are childhood friends. You know him, too?

That's pretty cool! I'm one of his friends too! What's your name?

My name is Rosa. [ Smiling forever now. ] It's very nice to meet you.

You search for Cecil?

Yes, I was looking for Cecil, but fortunately I was able to speak with him. Are you another one of his friends?

I am. I assume you are from his world?

Yes, I am from Baron. [ Smiling. ] My name is Rosa; may I ask yours?

I am the Warrior of Light.

Have you been here long, Warrior of Light?

I have been here for more than six months.

Six months...? Is there truly no way to leave?

There is no way to leave purposefully. Those who do disappear do so without warning.

Are disappearances common? That must be difficult on those left behind...
