[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.

Going through the path to Cherrygrove City is a pretty basic way to start exploring this world.

If you're planning on taking on gyms though, you should probably take on Falkner to save the trouble for your Pidgey. That means going through the route.

[video]

[eclectical]

I'd head for Cherrygrove first... It takes about three days to get there.

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

The Gym Challenge? That's fighting all those guys to get some items, right?
[He... might as well, right?] It does look like just a simple path out there - hope there's not too many monsters! [:D]

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

Why? Because it's cheaper?
[and easier to get lost?]
I don't really want to make my friends pay, after all. [his new friends]

[video]

[paladinlost]

[That face... It looks familiar, but...]

She does that to everyone. Please seek a fellow trainer with a Fire-type, if you can. They can make a great difference at this time of the year.

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

[A fire-type...? Well...]
I've been talking to a few of the trainers here, but they don't seem to have any. I mean, one of them has a turtle... [little girls and countries don't tend to have fire i guess is the lession here]
But it can't be too bad. A little cold never killed anyone!
[It's not like it's the end of the world or anything.
...Wait.
also shut up blizzard can kill all sorts of things laguna]

[video]

[brokenmemories]

Yeah.

[She then remembers something quite important.]

I just remembered. You won't be able to take on Falkner because something's happened at the gym a few days ago.

[She gave a small scoff.] The creatures aren't too tough. You' probably have to worry about not freezing to death though.

[video]

[paladinlost]

[Yep, definitely familiar, but... Younger? A bit more Squall-like, perhaps?]

With three metres of snow within a week like there were two years ago, you'd not catch a 'little' cold.

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

What's going on with him?
[Laguna might be a bit worried. Is there war here? plz not]
It is cold... but would that woman really force me out here to die? [yes]

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

[mmmmmmaybe?]
Woah, okay, that does sound like a lot. Still... I don't know if many people here even started with fire-types today!

[video]

[paladinlost]

You'd think the professor would ensure that each batch of new arrivals has a few during the winter, really. Perhaps the Breeding centre still has a few left? The have deals for newcomers.

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

Oh... yeah. I already called them a bit before - and I already chose one.
[not a fire-type, mind
shinx just looked too nice for him
So he is looking a little sheepish.]
But these professors are strange. Ragnarok doesn't suit me at all!
[He pans over to the serious Snivy, who's brooding near the cold trees.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

Is that so? What species is it?

[They have so many nice ones...]

It's a Grass-type, is it not? Perhaps the choice can be explained by its strengths and weaknesses.

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

I saw these lion-like ones, Shinx? And I thought it'd suit my Pidgey and Snivy.
[NOT BECAUSE OF THINGS HE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT AT ALL, OF COURSE NOT]
Hm... maybe. But he's not friendly, so I don't know much about his powers. Won't even give me a hello!

[audio]

[soggypastry]

[She knows that voice. Etro, Laguna, how is it you continue to get lost all the damned time? She will never understand you.]

There's a map in your bag. That'll show you the shorter path is the one that heads west.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...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.

[audio]

[ragnarok_strike]

[It's not his fault! of course it is also spain this time
But his memories of you aren't there right now, Light. Oh well, who cares, he's still cheerful. Even if there's quite a few seconds of rummaging.]
Looks like it is! But, still, it'll be a nice journey, either way!

[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.

[audio]

[soggypastry]

[Only him. Only he'd call this kind of weather a "nice journey". Honestly...]

If you call wandering through a few feet of snow a nice journey. Knowing you, you'll get lost on a straight road again.

[yeah she remembers that even if he doesn't. Shame she hasn't quite realized it yet.]

[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.

[audio]

[ragnarok_strike]

[It could be worse! Actually no, it couldn't.]
Aw, c'mon. I won't get lost - it'll just be an adventure!
[he'll get lost]
Hey, who is this, anyway?
[do you know him.]
