[A screen pops up and at first nothing is seen, though the noise of something rubbing against the screen is plainly heard. There's a muffled voice before whatever was rubbing against it was pulled away. There's now a blond haired boy on the screen, a blue bird with cloud like wings on his shoulder.]

Doesn't look like the fall broke it, Sky... Huh? It's on?

[The boy stood straighter and looked around.]

I guess we can send a message this way.

[He looks down at the screen again as his little friend chirps.]

If anyone can hear this, can you tell me what's going on? This lady said she was my mom, and there was this old guy who gave me a red and white ball and talked about Pokémon. Is that what Sky is? She just looks like a bird with clouds for wings.

[Sky objects to this and chirps shrilly into her trainer's ears. This causes the boy to drop the device, which promptly lands on the grass. Now there's just a view of the sky and muffled grumbling.]

Ah. You've just arrived, then?

What did the lady and old guy tell you, when they spoke with you?

From:

seasaltkey

[There's a scramble for the gear and the boy looks at the screen. Oh!]

You can see me?

[He then blinks before he answers the questions. Did she know about this place?]

Yeah. That lady was mad at me for sleeping in, she gave me a bag, and chased me out of the house. The old guy kept talking about adventure, Pokémon, and handed me Sky in a ball. Is that normal?

From:

freshprints

There's a camera at the top of your device; that's what's recording you at the moment.

[...]

And I'm not sure if you'd call it "normal", but it seems to be standard among people who arrive here unexpectedly.

From:

seasaltkey

[He checks it out and nods. So cool... they didn't have anything like this in Twilight Town.]

So I'm not the only one?

From:

freshprints

To arrive here unexpectedly? No, you're not.

You're likely to encounter quite a few of the others within the next few minutes, if you continue talking on this device. People have a tendency of turning up to greet newcomers.

From:

seasaltkey

[More people to talk to? Not that he'd mind... but just to make sure.]

Is that good or bad?

From:

freshprints

At the moment, it's good for you. You'll hear a great deal of information about your current circumstances. Possibly more than you care to know, depending.

...She's called a Swablu. Your bird.

From:

seasaltkey

[That doesn't sound too great. But he still nods.]

Right. Thanks.

Sky? So that's what she is? Huh... that's a weird name.

From:

freshprints

You'll get used to it after awhile.

From:

seasaltkey

The old guy said something about catching more. Are there others?

From:

freshprints

Several hundred, both in the wild and domesticated. You're likely to begin seeing them as soon as you leave town, whether you choose to take the ferry or head west along Route 29.

From:

seasaltkey

Where does the ferry go?

From:

freshprints

Into the other region, Kanto. That's one of the two ways of getting to that region; the other is a train that runs between Goldenrod City and Saffron City — two of the larger cities in the regions.
