I'd feel bad having you abandon your porygon, so I'll let it stay in your phone The voice from your dreams echoes in your head The past is being tampered with... you must bring peace and save the future As your eyes flutter open, you're met with a curious bulbasaur examining you from close up, a cautious litten pacing a circle around you, watching to see what you'd do next, and a timid mudkip, darting from place to place as it observed you. You were still in the pajamas you were wearing last night, and you could spot your phone nearby, except it looked... different. Instead of its usualy color, it took on a red and blue color, and had some sort of strange attachments on it. Was it even really your phone. The three pokemon all looked up from examining you as you heard a voice getting closer. "Bulbasaaauuur, Muuudkiiiip, Liiitteeeen, come baaaack!" A man called out, his voice getting closer until it suddenly stopped. "Oh stars, is that a person...? Hey! are you alright?!" A man asked as he ran to your side, standing over you as you laid on the ground, just becoming aware of your surroundings

Chevy's forehead scrunches as he dimly registers the presence of something warm prodding at his prone body. Multiple somethings. Thinking that he's helping to watch some of the children at the orphanage, he forces his lips into a soft smile and drags himself into a sitting position.

"Mm, don't worry. I'm all okay," he calls, blue eyes finally fluttering open, only startle upon catch sight of Pokemon in place of the bumbling toddlers he'd imagined. His muscles lock in sudden worry about knocking the overactive Bulbasaur over, leaving Chevy to watch as it butts its head against him.

Luckily, a man has caught sight of his predicament and runs over to help him.

Chevy blinks slowly and answers the other, his mouth dry. "I'm doing fine," he says, returning a question after a brief moment of thought. "Are you training these three?" The team looks a little... unexperienced, but given that he's only learnt about training through videos, he's hardly the best judge.

Chevy takes a look around, and the fact that he's been moved suddenly clicks into place. Remembering the voice that he'd heard while drifting at the edge of consciousness, he purses his lips. He's never been in Unova before; never traveled out of Kalos, even. All he's seen of the world is Lumoise and the roads and towns scattered a few hours around it.

This is certainly an experience.

(Thanks for the offer, but there's no need! I'd rather start completely clean haha. :D)

(haha alright, in that case its just a white and gold phone)

The fancy looking man bent down, extending a hand to help you to your feet. *I couldnt imagine training such wild things. Im no good in that regard, Im merely a researcher* he tells you, pulling a crude notebook out from his coat. The book looked like he put it together with string and paper himself. *Ive been cataloguing my research on Pokmon here. Im hoping that understanding them better will help us to better defend ourselves against their attacks, so we can expand across the Tao region safely* He said with a clear sense of pride.

*Im getting ahead of myself, it seems Ive forgotten my manners. My name is professor Wisteria, the official pokemon researcher of Castella Village* He gave you a polite bow. *Pardon if this comes across as rude, I mean no offense, but your attire is quite outlandish, where exactly do you originate from?* Wisteria asks, glancing between your pajamas and the device that appeared beside you, which was currently being examined by the bulbasaur with its vines*

Things were just becoming stranger and stranger. To start- you were in the woods for some reason with a man dressed in incredibly old fashioned style clothes. Perhaps pajamas werent exactly an ideal attire for the environment, but youd hardly call them outlandish. Most importantly, this man talked about the Tao region. The voice in your mind mentioned the Unova region. You vaguely recalled hearing about the Tao region in a history class you took once as a required course for school, but it wasnt really important besides one exam, so it went widely disregarded. You knew it was associated with the unova region in some form, but it was a bit difficult to recall most details. What exactly was going on here?

(By the way, if youd like, I can also quote your replies too if that makes things easier for you)

Chevy can certainly see why the man is calling his Pokemon wild. After all, the Bulbasaur is enough to earn the descriptor all by itself. Still, that's an inside joke he's hardly allowed to agree with. Not when any self-respecting researcher would defend them with spitfire for his sheer discourtesy of agreeing.

So, Chevy smiles, polite. "They hardly look wild to me, Professor," he says. "Rather, I would say that they're quite adorable. This Bulbasaur especially."

At this moment, he reaches out, gently retrieving his phone from the aforementioned miscreant.

The researcher continues, and Chevy tips his head to listen, mentally formulating a response as Wisteria speaks. Hm. His pajamas are... outlandish? Blue eyes rove over the other's attire, and Chevy admits that the simple t-shirt and shorts he wears the bed can't hope to match the blue-black formal robes draped across the man.

"I'm Chevy Suzuki," he says, "from Lumoise City in Unova." A moments pause to evaluate the situation, lips once again pursed in thought before he admits, "and I believe that you find me outlandish because I come from the future."

Haha, thank you! And no need to quote me, I usually have a second tab open anyways. Tell me if you'd like your responses quoted in any of our other roleplays though!

The professor appeared relieved, as if he believed the pokemon would attack you. "Right, yes, they definitely have their charms, and compared to other pokemon, they're quite amiable, but they are most certaintly still wild. I assure you" The professor said. "I've been studying them in the village, even if most of the others aren't very comfortable with them, but today I wanted to take them outside the village for a while to stretch their legs" Wisteria listened to your intoduction, eyes glinting with recognition when you mentioned Lumiose city. "Ah, I've been to the kalos before, it's a lovely region, I vacationed in Lumiose once during my teenage years" Professor told you proudly. "Although I never encountered your style of attire during my visits there. I guess you bring from the future would explain... that..." The professor hesitated in his ramblings when he stopped to really think about what you said. "Sorry, you said 'the future?' is that... part of lumiose city? Or perhaps a different town in Kalos or... surely you don't mean the FUTURE" The young professor's voice jumped in volume in surprise as he looked you over again, suddenly coming to recognition. The sharp squeak in his voice seemed to startle the flighty mudkip that the professor had been traveling with, spooking it. Mudkip suddenly darted off out of the clearing, into the forest, followed by Litten, who also seemed displeased by the professor's outburst. Bulbasaur followed after the two, eagerly chasing its two friends. "Ah- no! Mudkip! I'm sorry, please don't- Litten! Stop- Bulbasaur no! Hey, come back!" The professor tried helplessly to stop the three as he noticed them bolting away but didn't react nearly fast enough. Wisteria slumped over in defeat, pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration. "Ah... I've really done it this time..." he grumbled, turning his attention back to Choji. "Sorry about that, it was just a great shock hearing you could be from the future, and I'd love to discuss that further at my lab, but right now I need to get those three back... ah, but I also need to get you to the village..." The professor looking around the clearing, sighing. "If it's fine by you, would you help me find those three? I don't want you wandering around alone, these woods can be dangerous alone, there's a lot of dangerous wild pokemon around" Wistera said, anxiously adjusting the ribbon in his hair.

Chevy waits for the realization to hit. Even so, his heart lurches with alarm as Wisteria manages to scare his Pokemon in his surprise. In his sympathy to the other's plight, he agrees to helping with the search.

"Of course," he says. "I'm not used to navigating forests giving that I've lived in the suburbs most of my life, so I'm sure that this will be safer for me as well."

Despite this, Chevy's stride slows as he enters the forest, asking, "When you call the Pokemon wild, in what way do you mean that?"

Not me just realizing that I was using the wrong name for my OC in the last post. Gonna do a quick edit to fix that. D:

"Wild in the sense they aren't trained at all... I've met some people who have actually had pokemon just... listen to them! Like they really understand each other, and it's an incredible thing to witness. Few have pokemon they keep around, but even fewer have managed to form that sort of relationship with a pokemon. They're called 'pokemon trainers'" Wisteria explains, a hint of awe in his voice. "I've always wanted to try to train a pokemon, but it's probably pretty obvious I'm not quite cut out for training pokemon" Wisteria sighed.

A rustle in the bushes nearby caught the attention of both men. The bulbasaur from earlier burst out of the bushes with an excited cry, rushing towards both humans and butting its head against both of your legs.

Wisteria yelped in surprise as bulbasaur charged forward, stumbling backwards in surprise, resting a hand over his chest to try and calm himself down. "Ah- Bulbasaur, you're back... goodness you gave me quite a scare" Wisteria sighed. Bulbasaur smiled, making a giggling sort of sound as if it knew exactly what it was doing scaring the professor and was haivng fun


(lol don't worry youre totally fine!! I knew who you were talking about)

Chevy gives an awkward smile as Wisteria sighs, unsure of how to comfort the other man in his disappointment. Luckily, the Bulbasaur reappears as Chevy racks his mind in silence, shattering the silence with a giggled laugh.

As they relax in the wake of the reappearance, Chevy finally finds some fumbling words to express his sentiments. "You care for them quite deeply, which is the ideal trait for a trainer in my time," he says. "And even if your Pokemon are rather rowdy, some individuals do prefer letting their team enjoy themselves however they want to."

Once he's finished, Chevy takes a quick pause, eyes flitting across Wisteria's face evaluating before he gives a small, shy nod to reinforce his words. After leaving a moment for his encouragement to sink in, he returns to the problem at hand.

"Let's go the others," he adds, stepping towards the undergrowth where the Bulbasaur appeared from. "I'm sure they're nearby, seeing that this little guy was following them."

You were sitting in history class, absentmindedly listening to the lecture about the ancient Unova region. There was a war between people and Pokmon, then two princes who fought against each other with their truths and ideals, a Pokmon split in two, some disaster struck. Theres going to be a test on this next week. You go through the rest of a mostly uneventful day before returning home and going to bed. That night in your sleep, you found yourself floating in a void, and a glowing creature unlike anything youve seen before appeared before you, shrouded in light. Human of the present day. I seeketh one from modern days of harmony between mankind and Pokmon. You must teacheth the settlers of ancient lands the way of unity to saveth the future of Unova Something from near you floated towards the glowing figure. Your phone. All you could do was watch as your phone disappeared in a flash of light in front of you. You barely even had time to react before the pokemons eyes were on you. Then everything faded to black again. You could hear something now- noises of Pokmon and nature all around you. Your eyes open and you find a bulbasaur, litten, and mudkip investigating you, and you hear a voice shouting in the distance. So, what now?

May I claim a spot? :)
