[Hahaha... ha...
So... he's gathered a little. He's not at home anymore, he's got these monsters to fight for him (with no weapon to call his own), and he's not the only one.
But... brr! There was something big bothering him. That thing?]
Did she have to kick me into the cold?
[If he'd gotten warning, he'd probably have thrown on a coat or something - his jacket was sort-of warm, but his forearms were cold, and his fingers too! And his other clothes aren't that good - he got stuck with a jester set of clothes. But he had a reason for this broadcast, as he's looking cheerful, a Pidgey on his head. His Snivy is off-screen.]
So, I was checking the area around here - there's a boat out to another place, right? But there's also a path. Wonder which would be better for us?
[Us being his Pokemon and him, and his possible travel group. He is wondering about the cold a lot, too.] I mean, if this cold gets worse, the water might get frozen. That'd be no good. But if it's that cold, maybe we'd get turned to popsicles for the monsters out there! [He's not sounding serious - because he isn't.]
Also, if you're out there, guys? [as in kiros/ward/anybody else he knows] Sorry I'm late, guess we'll have to meet up somewhere along the way.

...A Shinx. Somehow, I'm not surprised at all. I wonder...

[If that would make Squall happy, but he'd never shw it anyway.]

They take some time get used to us, in certain cases. He'll have trouble with the first Gym in Violet, at any rate.

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

?
[What does he wonder? Don't mind that curious look.]
I heard of that gym from some of the others. I'll just need to capture somebody who's good for it, I guess? Is there a real point to them?
[...]
...Hey, by the way, what's your name?

[video]

[paladinlost]

The badges and attacks they offer after a win make travelling much easier, especially Fly. You could theoritically use your Snivy even with his weakness, but he'd need to be at a much higher level.

[Answering the next question feels strange, a little.]

My name is Cecil. Cecil Harvey. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

[...Ah. Yeah, that does sound important. Another sheepish look!]
Then I'll do it - might help me explore more, especially with my crew! [and get lost more]
Cecil, hm? My name's Laguna Loire - nice to meet you too! You seem like you've been here a while.

[video]

[paladinlost]

It will. Certain locations are hard to reach without a Pokémon's help.

[Unless you can pay for the ferry.]

I have, yes. I arrived here over two years ago; I've seen quite a lot of people come and go.

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

I guess they would be - wonder how long that ferry service would take if it was done by Poke-- they're called Pokemon?
[laguna bby]
Two years?! That is a while! If people can leave, why can't you?
[It's not that simple, Laguna.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

A few days, perhaps. That's generally the case.

[Hey, at least he learned the proper name on his first day.]

...It's not that easy. We do not choose when we arrive or when we leave, and people from the same world can be taken from different months or years.

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

Wouldn't the Pokemon get tired if they're travelling for that long?
[Perhaps.

But, Cecil, you made Laguna pause. People can come from not only different worlds, but different times? He shook his head a little - hah.]
This is sure a strange world, then! Wonder if anybody else I know is around here? I'd be surprised if they were from the future, though.

[video]

[paladinlost]

That's why regular breaks are important, especially if you transport other people.

[...Or Ditto-shaped couches.]

...I doubt it. There might have been, but those people left a long time ago.

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

I'm sure it'd be.
[...Whelp. He's all alone, it seems. Well, from his world. No matter!]
Then I'll need to get some of them gifts, for when I get home! Can't let me have all the fun, after all.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...Perhaps you would be able to bring them gifts. Many Pokémon and most bags are never found when their trainers disappear.

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

Well then! I'd better make sure I get quite a bit, so Elle can have some of these cuties!

[video]

[paladinlost]

Elle, hmm? You can find plenty of Pokémon well-suited for a girl, even if she favors insects or mechanical monsters.

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

Yeah... she's my little girl. Just got finished rescuing her...
[And he's gonna make up for vanishing. IT'S NOT LIKE THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN ANYWAY, RIGHT????????]
And I'm going to make sure to get her a bit of everything.
Who knows - she might even like something big and scary!

[video]

[paladinlost]

Big enough for her to ride and scary enough to frighten away the more dangerous monsters. It'd be like giving her a guard dog that can breathe lasers.

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

Of course! And then, if she ever comes here, I'll give them all to her!
[As well as himself.]
Haaaah... but to do that, I'll need to get out there and explore!

[video]

[paladinlost]

You've no need to worry; exploring is the most enjoyable part of this. ...As long as the weather is appropriate, of course.

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

Of course. Don't want to get too much frostbite!

[video]

[paladinlost]

Or heatstroke. There's a very high risk of it at times, during the summer.
