[Video feed drifts lazily about New Bark Town. I'm sure you've seen it all before. An amused, disembodied voice begins speaking.]

All right. Obviously, there isn't enough room in this town for an asylum, so I won't bother trying to check into one.

[The camera lingers briefly on Mom's house. The unspoken implication is 'or trying to get others committed.'. The camera comes to focus on Youji's face. His smile is pleasant and friendly.]

I heard the 'Welcome to the world of Pokemon, they're fantastic,' spiel, so elaboration on what's going on is unnecessary. Far too sober to make sense of it anyway. I'd much rather hear about how you're dealing with this.

[What a strange person]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean...

[holy shit. holy fucking shit. he recognizes that voice. Ken fumbles the Pokegear, because HE IS SURPRISED OKAY.]

...it can't be...

[picking the Pokegear back up now, just in time to see it focus on Youji's face and it is him, he'd recognize that face anywhere, even if it's too young and too open, he hasn't processed that part just yet. Ken's really glad he hasn't bothered to move on from Cherrygrove yet.]

I'd say "Welcome" but I don't think you're particularly happy to be here.

[Quietly, and with a smile: ] Most of the trainers here are friendly--they're wonderful people. Getting to know them is probably the best way you can adjust to Johto, if you don't have a companion from your world here already.

It sucks. And doesn't stop sucking until you reach Goldenrod.

Eh? An asylum? Why would you want an asylum?

By moving forward.

[ The Dratini draped about Valeria's neck lifts her head and utters a single, affirmative "tini" before returning her head to her trainer's shoulder, peering curiously at the man on the screen. She's given a gentle pat on the head as Valeria inclines her head forward in a slight nod, her smile an easy, if not somewhat amused one. ]

Even in dreams, you have to move forward before you can wake up. It's no different here, no matter how bizarre the situation may seem in comparison to what you're accustomed to. So, what are you doing to do now, stranger?
