Yeah.

[Radley sighs.]

I'm guessing everyone's dealing with something loco today. The way things usually go, I doubt anybody's managed to avoid it.

[He would be curious to hear Luna's thoughts on this weirdness too.]

Well ... maybe we should be looking for wormholes or something to try to get out of here?

I’m also thinking the same thing as well. No matter how hard all of us can try to do it, there is no way that we can escape any form of weirdness that can strike at any moment’s notice. Even with or without Arceus’ involvement.

(Yes, this is coming from a guy who has seen so much madness in his own world. That also includes very messed up things teenagers, with or without magic, shouldn’t get entangled or involved. Although honestly he couldn’t blame Arceus for being this tense over Cara carelessly messing with the space time continuum.)

You’re right, we need to try to find the nearest wormhole to get back to the world without causing some trouble with the people in this world. Maybe our way back could be right around the corner.

Such a shame too.

[Radley smirks darkly.

He nods and gets up.]

So far they don't seem too bothered by us. They almost seem more like they're ... ignoring us?

[Maybe it was his imagination.

"Vee?" says Evie.]

Good question, I could tell that they don’t seem to be interested in saying hi to any of us. I haven’t gotten to interact with any one of them from the moment I showed up in this dimension, they probably thought that I might be a stranger to this place.

(He speaks as he too gets up from the bench. Hedwig proceeds to fly up to the ceiling to find a possible way out of this Great Hall as Dobby scampers off for a bit to find another one, zipping past the other wizards undetected.

That leaves Tonks who is just standing next to him for now.)

You'd think they might ask why we're not dressed like everyone else is. But oh well, it's really better not to be put on the spot like that.

[He gets up holding Evie, who is still looking at all the people in delight. New friends!]

Good idea. We should try to stay as low as we can while we try to find the nearest wormhole. As not to draw any unwarranted attention onto ourselves.

(Tonks lets out a small hoot from her pipes, wondering on what it means exactly when Hedwig and Dobby return from their search. Dobby reveals that he was not able to find any during his search, then Hedwig suggests that they could try to escape with a recently wormhole she is able to find at the bottom of a ground level stairwell.

But they need to get there quickly before it could close on them and they have to find another one somewhere else.)

Wait, there is a wormhole downstairs? Great job, Hedwig. We should get to the stairs quickly before it might close soon. That could be our way out of here.

[With how they're being ignored, Radley doubts it will be too hard not to draw attention to themselves.]

Cool, let's go. Where's the stairs?

They are probably behind these giant doors. Just be careful, these stairs are magical in nature, so it can be very easy to get lost in a maze of stairs changing their locations fairly frequently.

(Thus begins the search for the wormhole in question. Harry tries to follow Hedwig the Noctowl’s flight path as they leave the Great Hall to the doors and begin making their way down the stairs. Dobby even starts running swiftly as he too tries to catch up along with Tonks.)

Furret. Fur, Furret!

[Radley winces.]

Oh yeah, I remember you talking about those. Oh boy.

[Evie hops down and looks around too, calling for the wormhole in Eevee talk.

Radley tries to make sure she doesn't get too far ahead of him as they search.]

(As it turns out, navigating moving stairs, no matter how familiar one is with them or how many times one climbs on them, is never an easy thing. Harry is surprised to see the stairwell he, Radley and the Pokémon are in begins to shift slowly to the wrong way much to his annoyance.

How could he underestimate these stairs at a time like this? And with nobody knowing of how long the average wormhole stays open, this might take a while longer than he would have hoped.)

Oh Merlin’s beard. It looks like we have to take another set of stairs that could take us downstairs faster.

Okay, let's get off of this one quick!

[Radley exclaims, and tries to get back off the stairs before things go too wrong. He picks up Evie so she doesn't get left behind.]

Alright, let’s get out of here.

(So they all get off that stairwell as Hedwig tries to lead a new way out to the wormhole. The Noctowl flies across the ceilings when she finds a new set of stairs for everyone to use. She immediately alerts everyone to the new stairs and Harry goes out of his way to take the group down these stairs as quickly as they can.

Hopefully these stairs won’t move to the wrong area again.)

[Radley is relieved for there to be more stairs, and he hurries, wanting to be as fast as possible.]

Do you see the wormhole yet?

Not a single sighting just yet. But Hedwig seems to know the exact location of the very wormhole we’re looking for. She thinks that might be located not far from this staircase. So we need to run as fast as we can if we want to catch a ride back to either Goldenrod or Olivine.

Good for Hedwig. Let's hope it's still here ... and that some other poor sap isn't coming through.

Right you are. We should get to the wormhole real soon before it could close in on us or bring in another person to this strange world. I think that she might be able to find it in time.

["Eevee-vee!" Evie calls encouragement to Hedwig.

Radley looks around, hoping to see some sign of the portal.]

(Hedwig soon lets out a hopeful hoot, alerting the group and Harry as well that she is able to find the wormhole they have searching for. Plus it is very close to where they are at. So far she didn’t see anyone falling into this world through it which probably means that it is safe to return to the world of Pokémon.)

Oh thank goodness. We’re almost there to the wormhole, it should be very close by now.

That's a relief.

[Radley hurries over to it as soon as he sees it.]

Let's go in at the same time to make sure we all make it.

[He reaches for Harry's hand.]

(That sounds like a smart idea. He hates to imagine getting separated from the rest of the group after being stranded in this weird world for who knows how long. Harry doesn’t think twice as he grabs onto Radley’s hand so they can all go back to the world of Pokémon at the same time as a team.)

Good idea, now let’s get back to the Pokémon world before this wormhole leaves this alternate version of my world. Alright, everyone. Let’s try to jump into the wormhole and stick together.

[Evie cheers them on!

Radley holds tight to her and Harry and jumps in.]

(It must have went into a blur but Harry didn’t have time to to make any second guess as he and his team also jump into the wormhole and they all managed to land on the ground at the other end of it.

He is too nervous to check out the surroundings they are in but the calm and happy sounds from Dobby, Tonks and Hedwig soon inform him that they may have landed in Goldenrod as the sounds from the nearby Magnet Train could be heard.

The travel to Olivine though is going to be the least of his problems when compared to the wormholes and the wild Paradox Pokémon that could be running amok. So far it doesn’t seem to look like Goldenrod has been swamped by them just yet.)

[Radley looks around in relief as he recognizes the surroundings.]

Whew. Home sweet home.

[Evie cheers.]

Well, what do you wanna do now? Are you going right back to Olivine?

Right now, I’m just pretty tired from having to deal with being stuck in a weird version of my world. Plus I don’t have anything too urgent at Olivine or just anywhere in general to attend to right now.

I think that I might need to stay here in Goldenrod for a few days and try not to avoid the wormholes as much as I can.

You're welcome to crash at our place, if you want.

["Vee!" says Evie.]
