[After spending a few days with his new bright-eyed and bushy-tailed companion — and his other, less bright-eyed, lacking-a-tail-but-being-able-to-fly-so-that's-cool companion — Jimmy's decided he must be in some kind of medically-induced coma. Nacho and his boys must have come after him for that spectacular mess of a situation he caused just because he had to run his mouth, and they must have beaten him bloody with a crowbar.

Or worse.

But he wouldn't know, because he's in a coma and feels fine.

...well, mostly fine. Physically fine. He's still plenty weirded out by the dream he's concocted — seriously, of all things, Pokémon? — but he figures that's just the drugs, and hey, he's a part of Team Rocket. Sure, they're technically the "bad" guys, but he's already slept in quarters three times bigger than he's used to, if not more, so no one will catch him complaining, that's for sure.

He might've been too old when the poké-craze swept the nation, but to be honest? The games always looked kind of fun in a way that would satisfy his need to make progress. Leveling up? Earning badges? Catching 'em all?

Sure.

Why not.

So he's strolling around Goldenrod today with his Eevee trotting by his side. Clad in a suit that's slightly too big for him, you'd never guess he's anything other than some kind of businessperson — or a lawyer, maybe, if you detect the slight swagger in his step.]

[Gregory finds a nice fountain to set up shop. A footstool and his good pal Paddington the Lotad are ready and rearing to go! Oh and the papers of course! Can't be a paperboy without the right papers.]

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Grandma's recipe for 11 Herbs and Spicy Noodles! Makes your mouth tingle and tummy a-growlithin' for more!

[As far as abrupt and sudden changes went, this was far from the worst Naveen faced. He was human, for one, which was already an improvement on his previous experiences. He was also not being pursued for his blood, at least as far as he saw.

His wife wasn't here, which was less than ideal, but... well, if there was one thing Naveen was good at, it was rolling with the unexpected with a smile on his face.

So exploring the town it was, a peculiar creature at his side. To any crossing his path, Naveen was quick to approach them.]

Ah, excuse me! Do you have a moment, my friend?

[Well waking up as a human wasn't something he expected to happen today, but at least this place doesn't seem too hostile. Besides he really couldn't just go to his lair like this even if this was his home world. It's not like he can just explain that this was an experiment by Phineas and Ferb gone wacky.

While he wasn't against being in towns, Perry's going to spend most of his time in the route itself, both to assess the situation and to silently train his weird looking duck thing. Still, he probably won't actively avoid anyone so you're more than welcome to approach him.]

[Okay so...being a human was not the situation he was expecting. Humans were, well they were humans, smelly, unintelligent [No Offense] and he was't normally one. Everything was hard, his mind was racing and there were certainly more thoughts and feelings...were those feelings? Well he wasn't used to them whatever they were. Heck, even walking had taken some getting used to. He managed to get to Golden Rod and this was an accomplishment!

He bounded his way up to a clerk, tapping loudly at the counter.]

Hi yes, please, right here! I'm talking! Can you direct to the nearest...uhhh what are they bloody caaaaalled! [He pauses.] Oh right! The centers for the little monsters!

[A pokemon hovers close to the suttering boy. It hums loudly in content.]

[It's been a few hours, but Rise is already fed up. She's been wandering around for a while with her cute little companion whom she has already named Himiko.

The manual was useful, her PokéGear was pretty cool, but this place lacks something she really wants. Her Sempai and her friends! Where could they be? Or was she the only one here? This makes her panic, her voice rising higher and higher..]

T-This can't be! Where is everyone? Sempai! Where are you?!

[She's near tears, and Himiko is about to start crying as well. Comfort this poor girl!]

[ Honestly, this whole "being transported to other worlds" is just starting to get annoying. At the very least, he can see here. Regardless, it's a shock to the system-- well. It would be, if this were anyone but Jade Curtiss. The little creatures are certainly an odd sight, but Jade? He's seen stranger. And so he retains his usual unflappable behavior.

For now, he's standing outside the Game Corner, and he's studying it fairly carefully. ]

My, what a terribly suspicious place.

A, New Bark Town

Whaaaaat why I am in New Bark Town again????! Where's my boutique??? Where are all my lovely pokémon!!!

[A Petilil nudges Rarity reassuringly]

Oh, you're still here, Bell, that's some small comfort.

[Bell shrinks away]

Don't be so dramatic Bell, you know I didn't mean it that way.

[She pets Bell affectionately.]

Ugh, is there anyone even in New Bark Town?

[She gets up to look around]

B, Video

[A woman with purple hair appears on the network, broadcasting to all]

Hello, who is here? The date on my Pokégear can't be right, but if it is, I've lost months of time! What else has changed?

Twilight? Rainbow Dash? Pinky?
