[Let's see here, camera check 1-2-3... Okay. Cool. At least the future phone works.

Have +1 teenaged boy whose face is a little too close to the lens. His eyes squint at the camera.]

Alright.

[Marty claps his hands together and backs away from the camera, getting a shot of his small and quite vacant dorm room.]

Everything looking good over there, little guy?

[There is a happy yelp from the Trubbish behind the camera.]

Okay, gonna' need a name for you. Can't be calling you 'little guy' for long. Bare with me here. You too, Scrags.

[A tiny Scraggy pads into the shot as he nods at the teenager.]

It is a...Sunday. April 14th. And-- I've got nothing. I don't know how I got here or where am I. I've got a trashbag with eyes.

[The trubbish cries]

Sorry! Didn't mean it like that. I'm sure the pension here is best thing in town but this gig is not my thing. I'd ask about resigning but those guys told me I'm out past curfew.

[He winces.]

I'm on curfew...

You have a curfew? [ That doesn't sound normal. But still! ]

Anyway, I can try to answer questions! You're in Johto right now. This is a place where people from many worlds and times are drawn! There isn't a way back anyone knows of.

And I do have a manual you might find useful!

What? Doesn't everybody?

[Multitasking powers are a go! Gonna download this badboy and try to get some answers.]

Yeah, I kind of got the different world part. Check on that one. Got a walking lizard for a pet.

[timelymaid]

Not that I know of? At least, no one gave me one!

Oh, point your 'gear at your partner to learn their type, gender, and moves and other information!

[outtatime]

Guess it must be me then.

Type? But I already know what they are. It's a lizard and a mutated trashbag.

video;

[timelymaid]

Yes, but types like - oh, "normal", "dark", "fire"...those are important because some types are more effective or less effective against other types.

[onelevelnicer]

A curfew?

[outtatime]

Hard to explain. Well, actually everything is but y'know? One step at a time.

[onelevelnicer]

Only because you're probably making it more difficult than what it is.

[Have a Laguna, and his Scraggy. Um, the Scraggy is dressed as a wizard. Bianca's weird.]
You've got a curfew? I mean, did you upset 'mom' or something?
[laguna does not know about people ending up with team rocket.]
Anyway, welcome to Johto! There's no way out, but we've got these Pokemon t'help us out living around here.

[outtatime]

I wish. Think I'd be lucky getting a tongue lashing from my mom than whatever is going on over here.

But ah-- Thanks for the welcome? You're kidding about the whole 'not leaving' part, right?

[ragnarok_strike]

Man, I kinda wish I was joking sometimes. [laguna's homesick for ellone :(] But, we're really stuck. One of my friends here - she's been here for years!
...Oh yeah, sometimes, people from our worlds turn up. Friends, enemies - but nobody knows how or why.

_{[Fellow Rocket grunt's just gonna throw in his two cents on this naming business because we all know Ralph is fantastic with names. Like Bossy. And Stinky.]}

You could call it Garbage' like French or somethin'.

[Video]

[outtatime]

Nah, too modern. Needs something with a little more kick to it. Like The Landfill or Raging Dump.

[Video]

[rocketralph]

Raging Dump? Really? If somebody named me that, I'd run away.

[tendered]

I'm sorry to inform you, but going home isn't possible right now. You're in Johto! It's a land where Pokémon exist and you fight with them or you just breed them or ... well, it's really open ended but those are the two major career paths at the moment.

You're here for a really long time! When you go home, no time will pass at all, but you'll still remember everything... [ She thinks. ]
