[He is a little apprehensive about doing this, but he doesn't have any of his usual resources. Nor his friends or family. He takes a breath, to which his Minccino, sitting on his shoulder, nuzzles his cheek to keep him calm.]

It would seem I've been derailed from my original journey to a new world, landing here instead. My name is Hope Estheim, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could let me know if others who were with me are here as well.

[Text appears at this point.]

Nora Estheim, Bartholomew Estheim, Lightning Farron, Serah Farron, Snow Villiers, Oerba Dia Vanille, Oerba Yun Fang, Sazh Katzroy, Dajh Katzroy, Noel Kreiss, Paddra Nsu-Yeul, Alyssa Zaidelle.

That being said, I was made aware of a Met-...sorry, I mean, Minior shower and are best seen at the observatory on Sevii Islands. If I can make it, even for a little bit, I would like that very much. I understand it is in the Kanto region but I'm unsure what the best and fastest way to travel once I take the ferry from here.

If you could kindly give me directions, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

[He sounds like he's addressing a large crowd, making some sort of speech. Something he has done in the past when he actually looked his age, so it may sound odd now coming from a child. He's also probably unintentionally making a sad puppy face. But Hope is making due with the lemons given to him.]

Whenever you wish, once you can afford to buy it. Then again, perhaps I should say whenever he wishes. Most Pokémon tend to make their desires very clear when it comes to such matters. Some simply decide to remain as they are, for various reasons.

[Cuteness, moves, the ability to climb all over their trainer...]

[distantfuture]

I'm sure. We'll cross that bridge if we ever get there.

[He scratches the Minccino's head.]

Should I call you when arrive to Viridian?

[paladinlost]

That would make it much easier to know when to look for you, yes. Will you visit the Pokémon Center first?

[distantfuture]

Hm... is it recommend that I do this first?

[paladinlost]

If your Pokémon are tired after your walk there, they'll surely appreciate being healed. Pokémon Centers are also an excellent source of information about this world and its species.

[distantfuture]

I see, that's certainly good to know. How many species of Pokemon are there?

[paladinlost]

Hundreds upon hundreds. Over seven, but certainly less than a thousand. In this region and at the moment, at least; we've witnessed mass migrations before, and they might occur again.

[distantfuture]

[Eyebrows shooting up because even if its less than a thousand, that's still a lot.]

So, there may be more in the way from other regions? That would certainly be a sight to see!

[paladinlost]

It always is! ...Though they'll hopefully not rain from the skies, next time. Some of those poor Espurrs still look terrified of heights.

[distantfuture]

I... Y-Yeah, no raining pokemon.

[That sounds painful, to be honest.]

[paladinlost]

Lucky, that was an exceptional event. Most species simply... appear, as if they'd always been there. A handful show themselves first, then you suddenly see dozens more on routes you visit every week.

[While far less painful, it's also somewhat alarming.]
