1st Adventure
[Video]
[The screen shows a young girl, with short, white hair and a pink bow. She grins nervously.]
Hey, can anyone hear me on this thing? Am I using this right? Um, hi, I'm Webby! And I kind of need to get a hold of Unc... [she gives pause, as if doubting herself] Mr. Scrooge McDuck? Because I think I got kidnapped and sent to an alternate universe - like there's some lady called "mom" and she pushed me out of her house and now I'm kind of confused where I am right now.
Also... [Webby pauses, scrunching up her face in confusion. It seems like she's noticed something in the reflection of the screen.] Wait, where'd my beak and feathers go?!
[Action - Right outside Newbark Town]
[Normally being whisked away to a mysterious land and strange people would be right up Webby's alley. And it still is, but she's still reeling a little over the confrontation with Magica. Everything that happened just a few minutes ago makes her feel a little drained - and kind of worried. She hasn't seen Huey, Dewey, and Louie around, and they just made up with Scrooge. They were a whole family again. And Webby... really doesn't want to get taken away from that so quickly.
Especially after Lena...
She shakes her head. An adventure is an adventure, and she's gotta stay positive! She's sure she'll run into the boys sooner or later. After doing a bit of wandering, she hears a rustle in the grass. And sticking its head out of the grass is a tiny white bunny with a bandage on its nose.]
Hi there, I'm Webby!
[The bunny tries to duck back down into the grass, before Webby waves at it.]
Aww don't be scared! It's okay! You've got a bandage on your nose... did you get hurt?

It was almost enough to stop her from having nightmares every night. Nightmares of dying, of Magica moving her body like a marionette. Nightmares of what Webby might say, knowing Lena used her and betrayed her.
But that was just a nightmare, until now. Webby had been back home in Duckburg, until now. Now, now... now, when she hears that voice, it's like a pit of dread opens up in her gut, and she can only stare in shocked silence for a few moments before forcing one word out:]
... Webby?
[The face on the screen, like Webby's, lacks a beak or feathers, so it may seem unfamiliar at first. But that voice, and the dyed-pink fringe in otherwise bleached-blonde hair are very, very familiar.]
[video]
Le... Lena?
[That's her voice. That's her voice. But it can't be, because Lena was...
Gone. She feels tears well up, but she tries to force them down quickly.]
Ahahah, okay um, I think this thing here might be playing a trick on me. Y-yeah! I mean...
[She trails off uselessly. Because she wants her friend to be here so bad but she knew what happened. She saw Lena disappear. So she wouldn't-
She couldn't be here.]
[video]
[There's a lump in her throat, and talking around it is almost as hard as it had been when Magica had first taken full control of her; it was like trying to speak coherent words past someone holding a hand against her mouth.
She should be glad. The first thing Webby says to her after all of that isn't a curse or accusation! But Lena's just waiting for the other shoe to drop, any moment now...]
It's really me, Webby. Promise. You can even ask me anything, and I'll answer.
[Lena knows she's opening herself up for Webby's anger, but-- maybe it'll be better that way. Better to get hurt now than get strung along only to be hurt later.]
[video]
LEEEEEENAAAAA!
[If Lena were right there, she'd be getting such a big hug right now. But since she isn't, there's just sniffling and sobbing Webby instead.]
I thought - I thought you gone! I thought I was never going to see you again!

Yeah, you're in another universe so...have fun with that?
It's not so bad but you're basically stuck here till whoever's in charge sends you back.
[Video]
I knew it! And it seems like a nice place, but I really should meet back up with Mr. McDuck and the boys.

Good news to counter act the bad news? When you get sent back I have it on good authority you arrive back at the exact moment you left.
For better or for worse.

[He settles back in his chair. The Elgyem in his lap looks up from a Rubik's cube and tilts her head, curious.]
Non-humans get turned human when they shown up here. No one knows how or why. Also, before you ask- "human" is what you are right now.
Also, the lady calls everyone her kid, and says she's everyone's mom. Don't worry too much about it. [He sounds... oddly fond.]
video
[Webby pauses, and touches her face.] So this is a human? Tell me everything! And ohh, what's that on your lap?!
And um, I think I might've kicked her in the shins when she woke me up.
no subject
You've now got the dubious honor of being descended from monkeys instead of- ducks, I guess? No more feathers or beaks or hollow bones. Instead you've got some hair on your head, and fingernails.
Oh- this is Sigourney. [Sigourney raises one hand in greeting, the lights blinking warmly. It doesn't transfer through the video call, but Sig tries to send a mental greeting- mostly an amalgamation of thoughts and sensations with various happy emojis thrown in.] She's one of the creatures native to this place- uh, debatably, since she's an alien. But she's probably still from this dimension? ... Anyway. This whole place runs on gathering up a bunch of little monsters and doing stuff with 'em, so have fun with that.
[He winces a little.] Yeah, most people have that kind of reaction to her. She's trying to help, she just comes off kinda... strong.

And you can just ignore the "mom" lady, she does that to pretty much everyone who shows up here.
[And then the comment on beaks and her name hits.]
...Wait, you're Webby? Do you know someone named Lena?
Video
[And at the mention of Lena, Webby's expression turns a little sad.]
Yeah, she's my best friend. I just talked with her a moment ago. I'm really surprised that she's here.
[Surprised, but incredibly relieved that she's not dead.]
Video
A pokemon journey is something most kids here go off on when they turn ten. It's mostly just kids running into a world to battle pokemon with each other. For us that can mean whatever we want it to. There aren't really people around forcing you to do things.
[Oh, he saw the sad look. That's ...probably not a good sign.]
You are? Uh...well it's a surprise anyone's here, I guess? I was talking to her when she first showed up and she mentioned you. Apparently you and some triplets run into a lot of mysteries in your world and you're really good at solving them.
Mabel...my twin sister, and I ran into a bunch of mysteries and weird things back in our world as well, so we kind of traded some stories.

And we're all human here! Isn't it exciting?
Video
I think I'd be more excited if I had a better idea of what a human actually is - I've never even heard of one until today! Like, I know about werewolves, bigfoots, mummies... do humans eat flesh? Do they get destroyed by sunligh - wait just answered my own question there.
[Because she's standing in sunlight at the moment.]

Are we your very first humans? Oh humans are wonderful!

[But now, the less pleasant part.]
I can't recall seeing a Scrooge McDuck around, but he might still show up in the future. Or not. As far as we can tell, everyone's brought here at random.
[video]
[Ahah... well, that's probably not good. She's not really sure what she'll do without Scrooge or the boys here.]
Uh well... that's okay! I'm sure he'll turn up sooner or later. He might be just lost, or looking for the boys.
So umm... who exactly is bringing everyone here?
[video]
[Unless 'to be determined' is considered an acceptable answer.]
What are those boys' names? Maybe they're around, too.
[video]
[video]
[Video]
[Jane's expression is kind, gentle, sympathetic - she may not 'get it' entirely, but that doesn't mean she can't suppose a complete change in personal species isn't disorientating.]
It's alright - outside of roughing it while traveling, you're totally safe here. I don't know if this Mr. McDuck is here, but trust me - most anybody you can reach out to on this can help you out if you need it. [She smiles.] Oh, but where are my manners? My name is Jane - and you said yours is Webby? It's nice to meet you!
[Video]
And okay! I’ll keep that in mind. Mr. McDuck might still be around here - once he gets a whiff of treasure, that’s all he can think about. He might not have heard my call yet. And it’s nice to meet you too, Jane! So, you’re expected to explore? Because I’m pretty good at it!

Secondly, yes, you did get transported to another universe. This is another world with small and large creatures called Pokemon and you've been given a role of either Trainer or Breeder, someone who cares for Pokemon either way. Your Pokemon journey starts now! It's like a freeform adventure.
Thirdly, there's plenty of people here who can offer advice, helpful tips and aid, and otherwise help you out when you need it the most. Hi, I'm Yayoi Kise, I've been here for nearly two and a half years and I'm a certified Magical Girl Superhero and Trainer. I've been around the block a few times adventure-wise so please let me answer questions you might have.
Video
Nice to meet you, Yayoi Kise! And wait - did you say magical girl superhero?
Re: Video
And yes, I did in fact. I'm a Pretty Cure, Precure for short. I'm a lightning-throwing superheroine from another dimension where there's over 55 of us and growing. I was a active superhero back when I was fourteen.
