[Today.]

[Today is important, Johto.]

[Because today is the day someone is no longer hopelessly lost in Johto. The video turns on in an almost Blair Witch-esque fashion, camera shaking and catching pretty much nothing but trees and ground. But it's steadied soon enough, the figure of a Kirlia caught just in the levitating frame.]

...Are you alright?

[usedreturn]

Quite alright, yes. Fantastic. Brilliant.

...And just where would this ground I'm currently on be?

[The Kirlia makes a sound very much like a sigh and puts her hand to her head.]

[believeinwarmth]

If you're sure...

Your gear should have a map, can you get to it?

[usedreturn]

[And this is the Doctor picking his head up with an incredulous look on his face. In the process, that poor empty Pidgey nest pretty much goes flying.]

...There's a map on this?

[believeinwarmth]

It should be in the applications. It's not very detailed because the screen is so small, but it will still tell you exactly where you are.

[usedreturn]

A map. As in an actual, show-you-where-you-are, don't-get-lost map.

[He straightened up to sit on the ground, fiddling with the Pokegear for a moment or two.]

...well according to this I'm near Goldenrod, how'd I get here?

[believeinwarmth]

Of course!

[She waits patiently, figuring that he's looking up the map.]

I'm afraid you'd know that better than I would. But at least you're not far from civilization, right?

[usedreturn]

I'm confused--no wait, no I'm not. I don't get confused. What's the word.

Lost. Yes, I'm a bit lost. I seem to have covered quite a lot of ground in the past however long it's been.

[believeinwarmth]

Ah... where were you headed, then?

[usedreturn]

That's a good question. It was a while ago, but I'm fairly sure...Cherrygrove? Maybe. Possibly.

I'm sorry, right, important bit here--have you seen anyone named Amy or Rory around here?

[believeinwarmth]

If you can win at the Goldenrod gym, you can make a shortcut back to Violet, and get back to Cherrygrove that way. The other way around is very... roundabout.

I don't think so, are they friends of yours?

[usedreturn]

Is that so? Well, I think I'd rather not just fight if I can help it.

...yes. Yes, you could say that they were. Are.

[believeinwarmth]

You could take the shortcut with someone else who's done it, if you want to go back.

What are they like? I'll keep an eye out for them.

[usedreturn]

Well, one's a girl and one isn't.

[Pause.]

Red-haired girl, quite loud when she wants to be. Amelia Pond's her name. Rory's...tall, a nurse. Bit silly-looking, really.

[believeinwarmth]

Alright. I hope you find them.
