[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.]

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.]

I've been in this world for two years now, but I can't say any of those names are familiar, sorry. If they've ever been here, it must have been before my time.

[Those names stand out enough that Armin thinks he'd be able to recognise them if he had ever seen them.]

As for the Minior Shower -- Assuming you've just arrived, you are probably on the ferry to Pallet Town. From there, the quickest way to get here on the Sevii Islands is to first take another ferry from Pallet Town to Fuchsia City. It's the ferry that takes you past the Cinnabar Islands. Then from Fuchsia, you'd have to go on foot to Olivine City and take another ferry to the Sevii Islands.

[Armin spent a lot of time studying the map of Kanto while plotting his route this summer, so it isn't too hard to dredge this up from memory. The fact that he has the big map he got from Nephelis carefully pinned to his wall helps.]

Though, I'm afraid that probably won't get you here in time for the Minior showers.

[Well. Well. Now this is interesting.]

Welcome to this world, Hope. You've missed Lightning by many years, I'm sorry to say. A few more of those names are also familiar, but their stays were even earlier from what I recall.

[He thinks he remembers another pink-haired girl, buying one of his pillows. But that was so long ago...]

The ferry for the Sevii Islands departs from Vermillion. If you'd like, I could pick you up on my way there once you arrive in Pallet or Viridian. I was planning to go on Friday, and I have plenty of Flying-types who are used to riders.

This is the same Minior Shower talked about on this thing earlier? Good luck in getting to the islands on time.

[ Really, it seems like a great information gathering experience, but the cost of the ferries involved is a wee bit up there when she looks at what leaving for Pallet Town alone was. ]

I've been here-- [More or less.] --for over a year now and I don't recognize any of those names. Sorry.

[Noct gives an apologetic smile to the young man on the other side of the 'gear, the prince clearly walking as the video on his end jostles a bit and large..green thing behind him stomps along rather determinedly.]

I was going to offer to come give you a ride to the islands but it looks like Cecil beat me to it. The Minior Shower is going to be pretty awesome from what Matt's been saying so it'll be a hell of a "Welcome to the Pokemon World!" for you.

_{[Oh. Shoot. She hasn't heard any of those names in a LONG time.]}

Hey, uh.

I recognize a couple of the people you mentioned. Snow and Lightning, mainly. They're not here anymore, unfortunately, but at one point they were. And they might be again, one day.

This place operates kinda weirdly when it comes to that sort of thing. You never know who's gonna show up.

[Chin propped in her hands as she stares at her 'gear with a big smile and fluttering eyelashes, Mabel is laying it on thick.

Really thick.]

Hope's a really pretty name for a super pretty guy~

[Did you ask questions? Because she didn't hear any of them.]

[cyan_maid]

I'm sorry to say that none of those names are familiar to me.

[And the girl in the video response does look sorry, and...there's a flicker of something in her eyes. Understanding?]

But for wherever it was you were going before, you should know that you're okay here, and time should stop at home. So, once you leave this place, you'll be back on track, and it will be like you were never gone, so don't worry too much about it. As for the Sevii Islands, I think that ferry leaves from Vermillion City?

[sociallychallenged]

[Hank is kind of weak to sad faces, or else he would have let the more knowledgeable help introduce the poor kid.]

Sorry to say you're probably going to end up being late to everywhere for a while. It was a three-day walk to get to somewhere decent when I showed up. Ended up staying there a little while, too, because we needed to earn some money.

[He knows that he can't make it to the thing. He sort of hopes that it's at least visible from where he is now.]

[kscience]

No idea who any of those guys are- sorry, dude. But I haven't exactly been here that long, so ask around. Apparently some people've been here for like, a decade. Plus, there's always the chance that they'll just show up later now that you're here? This place seems to like dragging in multiple people from the same world. Hasn't happened to me, but I've seen it happen a lot already.

Haven't been to Kanto, yet, either. I'm kinda interested in the Minior shower, but I'm still debating if I wanna go or not. It's pretty out of the way for someone who still can't fast travel most places.

[thumbsdown]

Sorry, can't say I recognise any of those names. What do you mean by your journey to a new world, though?

[Boone is curious. He couldn't exactly do that where he's from.]

Oh, yeah. I'm Boone. Nice to meet you, Hope.
