--ome in! Anyone!

[Yikes, man, tone down the yelling. The voice is frantic. Rightfully so, considering the last thing he remembered was being ejected into space. This is not the planet he thought he'd wind up on. There are humans here, and it looks like Earth.]

[But there's weird animals here. And no one seems concerned about a yelling, very upset man who just appeared out of nowhere.]

I don't know what's happened! I -- I need pickup, immediately!

[Yeah, he maybe only half listened to the explanations, but seriously, things were bad a minute ago.]

Pidge! Coran! [And then, almost grudgingly:] Lance -- someone pick up! This is Shiro and something's gone wrong! I don't know where I am -- I don't know what's happened, but I need someone to answer me now!

[Give him a few minutes to calm down. To pace and refocus himself. To listen and read up on the situation. Anyone who happens by the area sometime after the basically panicked broadcast can find him in New Bark Town. Under a tree, just...]

[What is he supposed to do now?]

[There's an Aron huddled up by his leg, but he doesn't seem to pay it much attention, right now.]

Sure, you could spend all of your time studying. But what's the point if you're never going to use any of it? Find something you're good at, learn everything you can, and then put it to good use.

Sort of seems like if you're in a place this weird, you'd want to learn all you could.

Sure. Sure.

It's all pretty interesting until you get to the pokemon who look like piles of trash.

You. Want to run that by me again?

There's another one that looks like a pinecone.

Yeah, that one I heard about.

They're pretty handy guys to have around.

[At least, they would be. If he could ever get his to actually come out of the pokeball.]

The pinecones? Really?

Would you want to battle this guy?

[Congrats, Shiro, because the camera is now panning to a very disgruntled looking Pineco.]

Me? Personally?

[Or his Aron, which is clambering up his metal arm to glower at the screen.]

[Lazard the overly stubborn Pineco looks less than impressed. Sorry little buddy.]

Pretty sure the Pokemon do most of the fighting here.

That's what I thought.

And from the looks of things... this guy wouldn't mind taking that one on.

[Lazard still looks completely indifferent.]

You got it. Just name the time and the place and we'll be there.

[Well. Zack will be. Lazard will probably refuse to come out of his pokeball like he normally does.]

Probably won't be for a while. We just got here, after all.
