Come on... [[Light suddenly floods the screen as he moves his hand away from the camera. He leans back against the tree he's decided to rest under, looking none too pleased. There's some rustling in the nearby

How or why? How to get home? Good luck with all that. Some of us have been stuck here for months.

Need the full welcome spiel, at least?

[[He scowls, not looking especially surprised at this news.]] I don't want it, but I suppose it's necessary.

Well, to start, you're in a different world. Some claim it's a video game based on some things that have happened here previously, but whatever it is, it's not where any of us were before. And on the topic of "us", we're all from different worlds, ourselves.

You probably already have heard the word "Pokemon" being thrown around, and that's what that little sheep is. There should be a capsule in the bag you were given that you can put it into if you don't want it out. Don't ask how it works, it just works.

And the point of this whole thing, as far as I can tell, is to capture and train them in those capsules. If you had any magical prowess where you were from, or any weapons on you, they're gone, and you're relying on the Pokemon for protection whether you like it or not.

There's plenty of little things that take some figuring out, too, but we'd be here all day if I tried listing off every one of this place's quirks.

Ree?

And this thing is supposed to protect me?

So far, no one knows who brought us all here or why?

As for getting back home, there is a rumor saying that if you take the badge challenge and collect all the badges, you'll be able to return home, aru. However, no one has been able to collect all the badges yet, so no one knows for sure if that's true.

Aru?

So we've all been kidnapped to play some absurd game, and there's no guarantee that winning will get us home. Am I understanding this correctly?
