( Text )

[While Luna has seen other people's video messages on the PokéGear, she's not sure if she's ready for her debut, especially without knowing how many people are here exactly.]

Hello, everyone. My name is Luna, and I've just arrived here. You have probably seen many messages like this one, but I have a few questions and I'd greatly appreciate some answers.

1) What is this place? I'm aware that this question isn't too precise, but any information will be of a great help.
2) Is there a doctor here?
3) Is breeding...what I think it is?

Thank you in advance,
Luna

( Action )

[While this town can't be called a big one no matter how you look at it, it's still a bit too much to Luna who after wandering around for an hour or two needs to rest, even if for a while. Thankfully, she notices a bench just after the exhaustion kicks in and sits on it while her Audino takes a seat by her side.]

Do you know what is going on here?

[Clearly, she's addressing her own Pokémon; it just tilts it's head in a response, not sure what Luna may be referring to.]

Oh, that's silly of me...you can't speak human language. I-I'm sorry.

[There's no reason for her to apologize and yet. Looking pensive, Luna lays her eyes on her hands as she takes turns curling them into fists and opening them. Audino seems to be watching over her all this time, but all of a sudden it scoots closer to Luna and presses it's ear against her, just like the Pokémon was performing physical examination.

Which, in fact, Audino does. With that done, it reaches to the backpack Luna has received before and pulls the boxed lunch out. In the meantime, she doesn't move much, wondering what Audino is up to. It becomes clear a little while later, when the Pokémon is holding up a sandwich, trying to feed it's trainer.]

B-But it's not—

[Audino is having none of it and puts the sandwich into her mouth. Moreover, it seems that it won't let her off the hook until she'll eat everything.]

I mean, it seems like everyone here works with pokemon... maybe they caught them before they settled down?

[Yeah she has no idea how this all works]

Hmm... they do seem kind of fitting, huh?

[medicament]

That's possible...I wonder when that was, though.

[The mom that woke her up didn't look too much older than her, which makes things even weirder.]

And when the first person arrived in this world...and are they still around.

[Maybe they found a way out, she doesn't really know.]

Exactly...like they exactly knew who we are way before we arrived here. It's a bit weird...but on the other hand, it's great that they put so much effort into choosing our partners, isn't it?

[usedgravity]

You mean like... the first person like us? [That would be pretty interesting to hear about... she'd seen a few people talking on the Pokegear's network thingy... how far did this go back?]

It could be coincidence! We'd probably have to ask a lot of people if theirs all fit them... maybe it's a natural connection?

[medicament]

Yes, exactly! I'm just wondering how long people have been around here...it would be really interesting to hear some stories from them, wouldn't it?

[It's hard to believe that things remained the same all this time...]

Maybe that's true...well, even if it's just a coincidence, I can't complain.

[Truth to be told, she wouldn't be complaining even if she got a Zubat as a starter.]

Oh, anyway...may I ask you something else?

[She pulls the backpack closer and points to the sleeping bag rolled neatly inside.]

What is this?

[usedgravity]

Yeah, maybe we could figure out a bit more about this place too!

[It sounds exciting but oh, her new friend has a question?]

Sure, go ahead! [And... that sure is a question]

...it's a sleeping bag, isn't it?

[...is this a trick question? Or the set-up to a joke?]

[medicament]

Sleeping bag?

[She seems as confused as she was a while ago.]

How do you use it? Is it like a portable bed or something?

[usedgravity]

Uh, yeah. I mean, if you're out camping or something, you just pull it out and... climb inside for bed!

[Has she... never encountered a sleeping bag before???]

[medicament]

Camping or something...?

[She repeats, a bit flustered about her question; it must have been something really basic, something everyone knows, probably...]

I-I see! I just...haven't gone out much, so...I had no idea.

[usedgravity]

Yeah like, if you're sleeping outdoors in a tent or somewhere else without a bed!

[She must be really sheltered, huh?]

It's kinda fun actually! Though... I hope that's not the only kind of sleeping we'll be doing out here...

[medicament]

Not the only kind of sleeping...? Ah, right! Of course.

[Smiling sheepishly, Luna turns her gaze to eating pokémon, both Swablu and Audino.]

Well...if this is what that whole adventure thing is about...I guess I'm pretty excited...maybe a bit too much.

[She's a bit embarrassed, even though she's now really showing how enthusiastic she's about the whole idea of seeing new places.]

[usedgravity]

It does seem pretty neat! Especially if all the pokemon are this cute and friendly.

[Spoilers: they aren't]

And with a whole new world to explore... I wonder what things are like outside this town, you know?
