route_1065 | I came in like a Pokeball...

[Komasan doesn't seem to mind at all, in fact he seems to be enjoying it. Even blushing slightly at the extra attention. Oh gosh~]

Ah, t-thank you very much, zura~ I promise, we'll be the best house guests we can be, zura!

[Friend! The Rotom disengages from the percolator and lets it fall to the ground in order to better greet the Director's Porygon face to face. Hello hello hello!]

Hey, Square, come on, don't drop my equip--

[York stumbles to an abrupt stop upon seeing his old boss. After a moment of blank staring, he straightens stiffly. His hands are fists.]

--ment. Sir.

[Thaaaat's not a good voice.]

[He glances from her faceplate down to the Pokéball and back. She hasn't tried to--well, why would she. He points to the ball.]

Hey, you mind tossing that here for a second? I wanna look at it.

[Oh, someone called her, who's that? Jade looks up, newly-knighted Bec following her stare.

--!!

Shades and general cool kid demeanor! It's a friend!]

Dave!

[This causes Jade to literally bounce to her feet and zoom in for a hug. Hyperactive dog girl get.]

Ohmygosh--I am so happy to see you! [And she really is, Jade greatly looked forward to seeing him along with her other friends at the end of the trip. Just...something weird happened and she's not entirely sure what. No, don't think about that Jade, you'll get that Feeling of Unease again.] Pokemon and one of my best friends is a really excellent dream!

[Well then, you are just going to get more pets for your efforts.]

Hopefully we won't have to worry about being teleported anywhere else...that happens sometimes when this occurs, too. But I haven't had any trouble with that yet.

You going to do a magic trick with it?

[ She tosses him the ball. It can't be that important, right? It's just a damn ball.

If York opens it, he'll find a Hitmonchan inside. ]

[ And Stan SQUINTS... But he leaves it alone. For now. ]

Fair enough. [ He rolls his eyes and hen makes a vague motion to all of his current stock of Pokemon. ] My guys and gals are pretty neat, right? It's like those dumb trading cards the kids played with in the 90's!

[Teleporting, huh?]

Hmmm... Someone must have a powerful watch, zura...

[Being summoned is kind of like teleporting, at least if someone is calling you from far away. Maybe that's why Komasan has yet to really freak out over this, it seems normal enough. If it's happening to humans too, then it must be...some kind of...human watch.

They should make a video game out of that.]

Is your house really far away, zura?

Well, gosh! I didn't you you got a free friend when you showed up here!

[That sounds like the most awesome idea ever!] This place already's startin' to sound like the best place ever!

Howdy, Jimmy. Call me Wander! [He sticks an arm up. You are a very tall human, and he's even standing on his toes for his hand to get close enough to Jimmy's.]

[He shifts his weight onto the balls of his feet when she runs at him, but it's fine, it's Jade, and he takes the hug with a quiet whoof as she knocks the air out of him. Wart looks alarmed for a moment, but when Dave just huffs another breath out and returns the hug awkwardly--Dave hasn't exactly leveled up in affection in his timeline--he settles down a little.

Anyway, this is fine. Gives Dave a moment to compose himself. Fine. A-okay. She must not remember what happened if she's treating him like this.]

Yeah, well. Best get those pinching fingers ready for yourself, Jade Harley, 'cause this dream don't stop from getting realer by the second.

[He finally pats her back and disengages, then tilts his head to one side.]

Sorry it's just me, though. I mean, sorry for them, douchebags don't know what a sweet party they're missing. I heard the rest of our squad used to be here, but I guess they jumped ship before I turned up.

[A watch...? He's not sure what Komasan means by that, but he decides not to bother him with asking right now. Maybe it's some sort of youkai thing.]

It isn't very far away at all. Just a few blocks...I just came from there with Hogosha, actually.

[...Oh. Well, that's a little unexpected. Honestly, she was expecting a squeal or some carrying on, and a voice at least a handful of pitches higher than it actually comes out — certainly she wasn't expecting the casual obscenity or the focus on having the thing to battle for her.

Huh. So what does "what I'm used to" really mean, anyway...? One way to find out.]

And you just ended up with it, huh. Seems like everybody I've seen around here has at least one, sometimes more.

...How big of a robot are you used to?

Licky-tongue? That kinda makes sense. And no, I've never seen these things in my life.

[He's seen some odd-looking people in Shibuya, but not to that extent.

Speaking of odd, that Lunatone's getting a suspicious look. What are these things?]

(A)

And just what are you supposed to be, then?

[For your consideration; a man in a leather jacket, a Cleffa perched on one shoulder, intently examining a small swarm of Magnemite.]

Are you the ones making that music? Some kind of electrical interference with the atmosphere, yeah?

[Pulling a small metal rod from an interior pocket, he points it at the nearest Magnemite. With the press of a button the device produces a small light and an odd whistling sound.]

No, it's not you... but organically produced metal, magnetized with bioelectricity? Fantastic.

(B)
[So, wherever you are, in Johto or Kanto? There is now also a blue, wooden box emblazoned with the words "police box".]

[Maybe it was there all along and you only just noticed it. Maybe it literally faded into being with a grinding, wheezing sound. Regardless, it's there in front of you now. What do?]

Ah, good, then we should hurry, zura! It's almost Shiro's nap time, zura!

[Guess who's still going to treat their Pokemon like a baby? This guy.]

And just to make sure the humans don't see me and throw anymore of their mean balls-

[Komasan throws one of his paws behind his shoulder and begins to dig around in the bag he carries on his back. After a few seconds of rummaging, he dramatically pulls out...a leaf.]

Zura!

[Archer weighs that statement for a moment, but it's true--he can't sense any killing intent, or even real fighting intent, from Lancer. He nods, and reluctantly pats the Doublade floating up against his hand. Please stop, buddy. Swords shouldn't smile. It's weird.]

I suspected as much when you didn't greet me with the head of a spear. Is it just you and I, then? No one else from that time?

Nice t'meet'cha, Wander! It's pretty great! I've been living here for almost two years, now.

[Jimmy shakes his hand heartily before turning his attention back to Wander's Ponyta.]

Might wanna be careful about riding her at first. Those flames can be nasty if she isn't ready to be ridden, but if she is then you won't have to worry about getting burned.

Are you toasting my bread, Strider?

[She pulls back from the hug, tilting her head both to match Dave and in doggy "did I just hear that" expression.

Speaking of dogs, Bec has trotted up at this time, very unsure of what to make of all of this quite honestly. It's silly.]

These are some actual dimensional and time shenanigans we're dealing with right now? [...] That is so weird, I feel like I fell asleep right as I was meeting Jake and Jane, then it was dark, then I woke up here. [It occurs to her right after she says it that Dave might not know who Jake and Jane are. But then again...Knight of Time.]

...I think we are too old to be Pokemons trainers, though.

Yeah, something like that.

[OF COURSE HE OPENS IT you can't just throw something openable to your resident opener and not expect him to do the thing. He brightens when he sees the Hitomanchan.]

Haha, hey, look at the punchy little guy you got!

[That Lunatone is staring right back, her blue eye...oddly piercing. She seems very intent in her gaze as she watches Neku while he talks. ...something isn't right, but she holds off on alerting Nagi just yet. Just in case she's wrong.]

Well...I haven't seen one in person. Not that I would care to, exactly.

[They're a bit too...well, touchy for his tastes, and even now he's keeping a respectful distance between him and the group standing around Neku.]

Where are your Pokemon? Just keep them away from you.

[ For someone who looks 14, Asuka's tone certainly has an edge to it that expresses grumpiness beyond her years. ]

Just like you ended up with a goddamn penguin, I guess. It is what it is, but I'm not happy about it. ...At least yours is cute.

[ The Genesect seems to be on standby, awaiting further orders; Asuka more or less tells the thing to heel, and it does so. ]

This thing is about 1 and a half meters? The one I pilot is close to around 80.

[...uuuh.]

What is that?

There's that Einzbern girl--apart from her I don't think anybody else we know is here right now. They've come and gone, but that's about all we're down to now.

[The Altaria chirped softly, snuggling right up to her trainer's face.]

[Annnd you know what contextual clues Dave feels like addressing? None of those.]

Yeah, well, you want to know something completely outrageous? Shit's bananas, Jade, this is gonna blow your mind. You know what this place's got besides Pokémon?

[He lifts both hands and spreads them at chest level to emphasize.]

Adult human beings. Ones who aren't even dead. How crazy and random is that? It's like universes exist out there that aren't even a little bit completely fucked up. And they have Pokémon, so why shouldn't we?

Pen--waugh!

[The brave leader of Team RWBY, reduced to squwaking like a chicken when confronted with hugs! Granted, Penny's hugs are incredibly strong - though notably less strong than the last time - so you can't really blame her.

Still, despite possible injury due to fierce friendly love, Ruby's grin is wide enough to nearly split her face, and all her nerves are quickly forgotten.]

Penny! Oh wow, where did you come from?! I haven't seen you in forever!

[That sure is becoming a habit with them, huh...?]
