She held out her hands, blowing out a small breath of frost and making a small small replica castle in her hands. "See? Look! It looks exactly like this." She let out a proud chuckle. "I even made it myself!"
"Aw, thats adorable, wonder if i could visit there if i get the chance, sounds like an interesting place to get lost in"
"I'm from Viridian City? In Kanto?" Astra looks around. "Where the Indigo League takes place? I mean, even wild Pokémon might know what that is, right?"
"That doesn't appear to be common knowledge, at least here"

Blitz gave a small sigh. Man, I have no idea what's going on anymore... he thought to himself darkly, before catching a glance at the Pawniard. "Bubbles," as he had stupidly nicknamed them. A wave of guilt suddenly hit him. Out of all of the things he could've done, he decided to piss off the strongest looking 'mon here. Curse his stupid temper!

The Torchic eventually forced himself to trot over to the Pawniard. It was a long shot, but he had to try. "Hey!" he tried to get the attention of Pawniard. "I uh... think we got off on the wrong foot. Which is, you know, completely my fault. I'm sorry." And he really was. He felt extremely bad about it. "Is there any chance we can, you know, maybe start over?" Blitz extend an arm to offer a handshake. "My name's Blitz. Not Delicious Chicken," he laughed nervously, at a weak attempt at humor.

The Pawniard smirks his approval, but only looks at the arm with brief confusion. It is not a gesture he recognizes, but no matter.

"Well done," he says without a shred of sarcasm. "You have introduced yourself. But I am afraid I still have no name to give you." He holds that for exactly two seconds before saying, "My leader has yet to give me one. He is waiting. I doubt it would be Bubbles. I sometimes expel fluids, but not water." The Pawniard shakes his head in a 'you tried' sort of way.

"It will take some additional time to prepare special orders such as this, but I will be sure not to disappoint," the Noivern said. "You must be hungry. When was the last time you ate?"

Fennel blinked twice, caught off guard. That was a good question - when had he last eaten anything???

“I-I’m not sure… everything’s kind of a blur. Definitely not since I fell here, but I don’t know how long that’s been,” he said, ears drooping. The last thing he could remember was feeling like he was falling through the sky.

[OOC: Love the little nicknames for our characters in the quote boxes, Bench - that was a nice touch! :quag:]

His composure loosens as a realization washes over him. "Are we underground right now?"

“It certainly looks that way! All we have for light is from up there," Fennel said, gesturing towards the skylight with a paw. "But-"

He flailed as the ground suddenly jolted again, knocking him off balance.

“-the way the earth is moving here, this isn’t normal for the underground! It almost feels like we're not under anything, but inside of something? If that's even possible??"

"My name's Blitz. Not Delicious Chicken," he laughed nervously, at a weak attempt at humor.
"Nice to meet you, Blitz. My name's Juliana, I'm a student at Naranja Academy in the Paldea region. Or at least I used to be before I woke up in this place transformed into a Charcadet."

She didn't really know how she had transformed into a Charcadet or where she even was. Perhaps it was the doing of a legendary pokemon, perhaps it was just because fate had randomly decided to bring her here. Whatever it was, she did want to get back to Paldea eventually.

"Oh right, I haven't introduced myself, I'm Maglev. nice to meet you all." Looks like he wasn't alone in being the only human to be transformed into a pokemon, though they don't really know how to feel exactly... "Well juliana, i hope you find your way back" As he gives her a pat on the head.

"I'm from Viridian City? In Kanto?" Astra looks around. "Where the Indigo League takes place? I mean, even wild Pokémon might know what that is, right?"


"I'd be concerned either way right now to be honest. If I'm still underground then that means I'm probably still under stupid Mount Moon, and if I'm above ground that means I have no clue how I got out of Mount Moon."
"Kanto? I believe I've read about that place," the Noivern said. "It's from offworld, in a world where humans are abundant, correct?"

"I suppose that makes you all offworlders," the Noivern continued. "I suppose it's up to me to introduce you to Obleta! Just give me a moment, and I'll give you all a proper introduction to our wonderful world."

The Noivern stepped back inside the sandwich shop. A few seconds passed, then steam began to hiss from the ceiling and walls. They started folding in on themselves with a mechanical whirring, revealing a sunny sky above, dotted with clouds.

As the walls lowered into the ground, one could see a landscape zooming past them, and massive tracks for wheels below. Behind and in front of them, there were more platforms, with more buildings atop them.

It was as if they were on some sort of giant carriage, with an entire town built atop it.

Israfel looks to each and everyone talking about being from the surface. "No way, the surface... It's actually real? Everything about the sun, the grass, the wind, and the abundant food? Is all that true?" The mighty dragon slowly loses composure as he looks shocked, surprised, and somehow alarmed, like it's dawning on him that everything he knew was a lie.

But indeed, the surface is real, and he finds out the hard way. Once the walls and ceiling are folded away, brilliant sunlight comes in. He has to wince as it gets brighter, but once the surface unfolds past the sun, he clasps his eyes and yells in pain. "Aaaa! What's going on? I can't see!" He now clasps both hands over his eyes while he curls over. "What is this?!? Is someone attacking us??"

Blitz didn't respond, he was in awe. That was insanely cool, how exactly had they managed to build that? His mind started brainstorming the possibilities, but there were so many of them so he quickly gave up. "Woah..." he muttered, shocked and in disbelief.

Astra looks up at the sky, shielding his sensitive eyes with his paw. "Wow, you have an opening roof too? That's cool! Brock had one of these too!"

"I also realize I haven't properly introduced myself either. My name is Astra, and together, me and my trainer are gonna win the Indigo League, then we're gonna travel the whole world!"

Astra's mind flips back around to what the Noivern said. "Wait, off worlders? those kinds of things are so common around here they have a name??"

The nameless Pawniard is strangely unfazed by this revelation. It is not only because his leader vaguely spoke of this place before sending him in, but because of the state of the noisemaker's body. He could only speculate why they had changed flesh for steel, but the state of the world matched. And with the discussion about humans, he now has a good grasp of the situation. Not a complete one. That was when questions were needed. But a fact for now: that this was a common enough occurrence to be given terminology was a sign there was a way back.

"Aw, thats adorable, wonder if i could visit there if i get the chance, sounds like an interesting place to get lost in"
"Ooh! That'll be great, I can show you all sorts of things I made there!" she said, beaming at hearing his interest. "Though my friends said it's apparently too cold to stay there. Which is ridiculous! The cold's never hurt anybody!"

"Kanto? I believe I've read about that place," the Noivern said. "It's from offworld, in a world where humans are abundant, correct?"

Woah! The walls just went down on their own! That's awesome! She had never seen anything like it! Not even Saffron City's buildings were this cool!

He now clasps both hands over his eyes while he curls over. "What is this?!? Is someone attacking us??"
She gasped. "Oh no, Mr Red Dragon! You're not supposed to look at the sun! It's super hot and bright! Here! Wear this!" Fray made a pair of cool shades from her ice and passed it to the screaming dragon.
Astra looks up at the sky, shielding his sensitive eyes with his paw. "Wow, you have an opening roof too? That's cool! Brock had one of these too!"

"I also realize I haven't properly introduced myself either. My name is Astra, and together, me and my trainer are gonna win the Indigo League, then we're gonna travel the whole world!"

"Hi, Astra! You're from Kanto too? I was just there as well! Have you been to Fushcia City? Koga was so cool!"

looking up at the unfolding sky in awe, Maglev remarks: "Amazing, wish i took my sketchbook with me" as they continued looked around the surrounding area "though, what is this place exactly?"

"Hi, Astra! You're from Kanto too? I was just there as well! Have you been to Fushcia City? Koga was so cool!"

Astra looks at the Froslass, eyes widening. "You know Kanto too?? Oh thank Arc, I'm not alone here. Though I... haven't been to Fushia yet, no. I've only been to Viridian and Pewter so far."

looking up at the unfolding sky in awe, Maglev remarks: "Amazing, wish i took my sketchbook with me" as they continued looked around the surrounding area "though, what is this place exactly?"

Astra looks at Maglev, then to the Noivern. "Maglev does have a good point, Mr... Ms... Mx.? Bat Dragon...? I still don't know your name yet, sorry. But where are we?"
