Introductory log! Welcome to the World of Pokemon!

[worldofnpcs]

WHO: You, and all of you!
WHERE: Vaniville Town!
WHEN: October 28th, morning-time
WHAT: Welcoming party time!

It doesn't matter what you were doing before. How you felt, how things were. Wherever you were, it's gone. A flash of light engulfs your vision and you may instinctively shield your eyes. But nothing is shining at you. Your vision is just gone. Poof. In the literal blink of an eye, there's nothing but darkness.

You try to move, but you're frozen in place. You try to make a sound, but nothing comes out. Eventually, you feel like you're turning, flipping, tumbling... and suddenly a feeling of dizziness washes over you. Slowly, your vision begins to return to you, but everything's blurry.

Eventually, it starts clearing up, and you realize you're not in Kansas wherever it was you were before now. Or doing whatever it was you were doing.

But you're not alone. There seem to be many others near you. All of them have one thing in common, however; there seem to be creatures floating or sitting around the entire group. One is likely looking at you with a confused face, as if it was wondering why you were just standing there. Hey, you're just as confused as the creature is, you wager.

The city you're standing in doesn't seem quite so large; in fact it looks more like a Town. And you're definitely in the middle of a small plaza. A few houses line the area, and it looks like some were newly built sometime recently. In fact, it looks like the entire town has gotten some renovations, though this may not be entirely obvious.

What is obvious, however, are the many white-shirted men and women approaching the entire group, giving you and the others puzzling looks, as if you all were specimens they had never seen before. Eventually, one of them stepped forward, and smiled.

"Hello, everyone! Professor Sycamore sent us to welcome you all to the region of Kalos. The town you are standing in right now is Vaniville Town. We're happy to answer any questions you have right now; my fellow Aides and I will make sure you are all taken care of.

"First, however, it seems most of you have come from different places and times. I think it would be best if you introduced yourselves. Afterwards, we will equip you with the necessary items to enjoy your time here. And we will then answer any questions you have for us. Any at all." He looks over to another Aide for the moment, before turning back to the group. "And as for how we knew you would be here, well, we do have someone watching for any distortions in space-time. In layman's terms, something unknown has brought all of you here, and none of you are the first to arrive here in such a fashion... you're just the largest group to appear thus far."

Well, may as well introduce yourself to all these new (and possibly strange) people. You certainly will have a lot of questions for the Aides.

Comments

Ask the Aides anything!

[worldofnpcs]

The Aides stand ready for anyone to ask any questions they might have whilst introducing themselves to each other.

[fastesthedgehogalive]

'Boy these guys don't look shady in the slightest' was the first thought in Sonic's head. He raises an eyebrow at the 'unknown' part. Could it be the doing of Chaos Emeralds?

"Something unknown? Just what you do mean by that?"

[worldofnpcs]

The aide nodded.

"We're not entirely sure. We've had someone keeping up with the situation for quite some time. The space-time continuum has been fluctuating for the past few months. The person manning it happens to be one of the first people who arrived, and he's been a big help to us. But unfortunately even with his expertise we haven't pinpointed the exact issue yet."

[fastesthedgehogalive]

"You wouldn't happen to have any powerful jewels with massive amount of power, would ya? Back home, we've got something called Chaos Emeralds that could do something like that, provided you had all seven of them."

It sounded a bit like they were using Chaos Control and the Chaos Emeralds in general, but he didn't really get the science bit of it. That was Tails' department, not him.

[cleric_stance]

They seem to know a lot about this world - Y'shtola approaches the group of Hyur (?), tail twitching.
"Did you say space-time? How advanced is your analysis of it, might I ask?"

[worldofnpcs]

"Not as advanced as we'd like, to be fair." The aide looked back to his co-workers, and then back to Y'shtola. "Things have gotten a lot smoother since our first batch of people arrived a few months ago. One in particular has said he has a good amount of knowledge on it, so we've been letting him monitor it. This is a completely new thing for us."

[cleric_stance]

"And yet, it was a few months between people arriving here..."
A statement, as Y'shtola is looking between the aide, and the other 'kidnapped' people. With a look, she's getting an idea. This seems rather interesting to look into - perhaps she'll help! It would help her return home sooner. That is, if they want her to help.
"I wonder - are we the second group, or are there more?"

[shutupdib]

"Yeah, I've got a question."

Oh boy, here comes the kinda scary looking little girl with the Shuppet.

"Are there any video games here?"

CLEARLY the most important thing.

[worldofnpcs]

If there were any scary looking ones in that group, Gaz prolly looked like one of them.

"Er... well, there's an arcade of sorts in Luminose City, but that's quite a ways from here."

[shutupdib]

"Hmmmm..."

Well, she still has her Game Slave too, so good enough she guesses.

"And pizza?"

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha stalks up to the Aides, newly-named Kasumi the Froakie perched on her shoulder. She hasn't quite summoned her Persona yet, but she has invoked it, creating a flowing pillar of blue light around her.

"I'm Kotoha. You got any idea why my Pokemon didn't come with me through the rift?"

[worldofnpcs]

Oh dear, more people with odd powers...

"We're not sure. You had Pokemon before?"

[unbroken_chain]

"I'm from Unova."

...she looks annoyed.

[thedivineroar]

"...So you guys aren't responsible for this?" That was the first thing on Apollo's mind. He couldn't helping being suspicious considering this was not his first otherworldly experience.

"And why is this animal following me around?" He gestured to the little orange bird beside him. Torchic simply gave him a puzzled looked.

[worldofnpcs]

"As far as we know." Reassuring, he knows. "We're still investigating the cause. As for the 'animal'... that is a Pokemon, a native of this world. It seems all of you have arrived with a Pokemon that has connected with you. That is a Torchic, and it is yours."

[thedivineroar]

"Torchic!" The little bird chirped happily when he heard his name. Apollo continued to look skeptical about all of this.

"A Pokemon? So it's common for people here to have these Pokemon? Are they like pets?" At the mention of being a pet, Torchic lightly pecked at Apollo's ankle. "Ah! hey!"

"Torchic!" Torchic raised his head smugly. It looked like Apollo offended him.

[foundmythirdeye]

I suppose all Pokemon will need to be kept in leashes.

(More meant metaphorically than anything, but the Espeon does have her priorities lined up. Such as if she can comfortably roam around towns or if she'll have to keep to forest and such, like all untamed Pokemon.)

[worldofnpcs]

[Well, this was interesting; a Pokemon came into the world, with its own starter Pokemon... he supposes that changes things up a bit.]

I guess it would only apply to those Pokemon that are native here. Despite if you came from another region in our world, the fact remains that you have come through a dimensional portal. We see no reason to confine you to a wild Pokemon's life.

[foundmythirdeye]

Good. That makes it easier on both of us.

(Let her be and she won't put up a struggle. Works for her.)

I don't suppose you can contact Palkia in regards to this rift in space, can you?

[entercheats]

"Hey, hey..." Nanami approaches the Aides; surely, she is here to ask about her strange situation, right? "...What generation is this?"

...Apparently not. She doesn't even seem perturbed in the least about being here. Actually, for reasons unknown, she looks pretty excited.

[worldofnpcs]

"Generation? I'm afraid I don't know what you mean."

What is this 'generation' you speak of, child.

[neighfeni]

Have a blue pony trotting up, Mareep and Lillipup at her hooves.

"Ya said Kalos, right? Ah know of it from a friend...how far away is Unova an' Sinnoh?" Gwen'd lived all over, so maybe she could visit her hometown...

[worldofnpcs]

"Unova and Sinnoh... we lost contact with the other regions almost a year ago. You could get to them by boat, but the boat that used to go to Unova is still over there, so we have no means to travel there at the time. We're working on it, however."

[bombastically]

[Honestly? Being here, where she wasn't being chased by hunters was infinitely preferable to Rio. She picks up the small cat-like creature (that, apparently seemed to grow an affinity towards her in such a short amount of time) into her arms, approaching one of the aides with a sweet smile.]

So what you're telling you're telling us is: our presence here wasn't your doing. Have such occurrences happened in the past?

[worldofnpcs]

A few times within the past couple of months. You're all the largest group that has come through so far, though.
