[Intro] ¡Hola, Ultren!

[grapetreasure]

[Route 1]

[If you're passing through Route 1 right now, you may notice it's a bit noisy right now. Just as you are on your way, you hear a young girl's shout.]

¡Ey! Out of the way!

[Before you know it, a purple dragon resembling a motorcycle suddenly passes through you before stopping Akira-style right in front of you. The dragon Pokemon seems a bit...mechanized compared to the ones you saw with its LED blue eyes with silver antennas attached to its eyelids and its throat and curled tail resembling glowing blue and yellow wheels before they turned back into silver.

The rider got off the dragon's back and rushes to you, which turns out to be an 11-years-old girl with her hair braided with a red and white hairclip and wore some sort of a school uniform consisting of light purple shirt with purple necktie, brown leather backpack with a grape emblem hanging on the side, purple shorts, black long socks, and brown loafers.]

¡Lo siento mucho! I didn't see you there. Are you okay?

[Turnbloom City]

[If you're in the area, you might see a young girl in a purple school uniform wandering around the city. Looks normal.

Until you noticed a purple cyborg dragon walking around by her side while happily carrying a subway sandwich in its mouth.

Do you want to interact with both of them or just a sandwich-loving dragon?]

Route 1

[radleyslittleevie]

[Evie the talking Eevee is so fascinated by the dragon she's mesmerized. She snaps to when the girl stops it and hops down.]

Yeah, I am! I'm sorry I was in the way! Your Pokemon is so amazing!

Re: Route 1

[grapetreasure]

Oh, thanks! That's Miraidon and it's...

[As she looks in front of her, she notices that no one is there. She is confused and wonders who said it. That is until her purple cyborg dragon nudged her with its head and pointed down. She looks at where it was pointing and...

She is staring at an Eevee. An Eevee...that can talk...]

Uh, did you just...talk? As in...normal human talking?

Re: Route 1

[radleyslittleevie]

Yeah! It started when I came here! It's so neat!

Re: Route 1

[grapetreasure]

[Okay, she's seen Pokemon from the future, an AI robot, and the school director disguised as a school kid wearing a lame pompadour wig. But never in her life saw a talking Pokemon.

And she loves it!]

Wow, that is so fresco!

[Don't mind Juliana carrying you in her hands, Evie.]

My name is Juliana! What's yours? And where's your trainer?

Re: Route 1

[radleyslittleevie]

[Evie loves being carried and held!]

I'm Evie! I don't know where my Trainer is.... Team Rocket took me away from him years ago and I'm trying to find him!

Route 1

[princeofpasio]

[Excuse you, you and your futuristic lizard just almost ran over him!! Hoopa? Hoopa is absolutely fine, watching in awe.]

Watch where you are going, will you!?

[Lear's instinct was to be very loud and vocal about his disdain over the situation. Hoopa on the other hand is giggling.]

Re: Route 1

[grapetreasure]

[Well, it's been a while since she ran into someone rude. The fact this arrogant sunglasses guy isn't making his first impressions on her better.]

Hey, I did say sorry! [Well, "sorry" in Paldean language.] No need to be brusco, you know.

[princeofpasio]

[He's crossing his arms frowning in disapproval.]

"Sorry"? You do realize simply apologizing won't always be the solution to a problem.

[His statement is followed with a "hmph!". He recognized the uniform Juliana wore, to the Paldean she spoke. Her Pokemon however... it reminded him a little of the Cyclizar, but it seemed different. Perhaps a related species? In any case--]

You need to be more mindful next time. What if you came across someone who couldn't move away in time? How are you going to make up for a situation like that?

[grapetreasure]

[She quickly flinches after the young man snaps at him. On one hand, she is a bit peeved at his arrogance. But on the other, he has a good point. She has some freedom riding around Miraidon back at Paldea. But seeing how she almost hit someone with her recklessness, she has to take his advice to heart.

Of course, that doesn't mean she isn't done being mad.]

Maybe we should stick to roads? Seriously, all I can do is take your word. What else do you want?

[princeofpasio]

[Crossing his arm he'll sigh. At least she seemed to be getting the picture. Plus, there were dangerous of running into Pokemon like that! (Oh how he didn't realize that wasn't a big issue, really).]

I don't want anything from you. I simply wanted you to be careful, that's all. That, and seeing as how you're taking a step to be mindful, I will accept your apology.

[Did he sound high and mighty? It was a habit hard to drop.]

What is your name? Where were you going in such a hurry?

city

[domeinion]

Oh, hello!

[Not like Alice can talk about weird Pokémon. Indeed, she's currently sitting on a bench, sharing a lunch box of lumpy tamagoyaki and overcooked rice with a Masquerain that appears to have laser cannons for forelegs. Maybe it's that that causes her to look up and light up, smiling and waving at the newcomers.]

You must be new here! Or at least I've definitely never seen you around.

Re: city

[grapetreasure]

[Juliana turns to the girl smiling and waving and quickly waves back.]

Yep, I'm new here. The name's Juliana and this is one of my partners, Miraidon.

[Her cyborg dragon quickly scarfed down all of its sandwich before it roared happily at the new girl.]

Agia!

[domeinion]

It's very friendly! You'll have to excuse my curiosity. I haven't seen one like it yet.

[The weird-looking Masquerain flutters over to sniff at Miraidon and chirp a greeting as well.]

This is Hyperbug. And I'm Alice! There really are a lot of new arrivals as of late.

[grapetreasure]

Really? I never noticed. I just found myself here while wandering around Paldea as part of my Independent Study.

[She then gingerly strokes the dragon's head.]

Well, I can't say much, but let's just say Miraidon is a new Pokemon related to a one called a Cyclizar, I think? Though most of the time, he often acts as my mount and traveling partner during my journey.

[domeinion]

Oh, I've heard of Cyclizar! I had an acquaintance from Paldea a bit before I came here -- Tulio had one, though he didn't keep it in his team. And believe me, I know all about different versions of Pokémon. Right, Hyperbug?

[Hyperbug chirps and waves a little cannon arm.]

Well, if you're new, have you heard the basics about this place yet?

[Route 1]

[lavieenmarron]

Whoa! [That was scary close! But, Mairin's unscathed, she mostly just took a little tumble backwards, but was quickly caught by Chespie's vines.]

Y-yeah, I'm okay!

What language is that? [Curious, as she regained her footing while Chespie helped.]

Re: [Route 1]

[grapetreasure]

[Juliana sighs in relief. She thought that Miraidon overdid it with its boost.]

It's Paldean! Well, I'm not fully Paldean, but I learned a lot of it back home.

I'm Juliana! What about you and that little chico?

[lavieenmarron]

Wow, Paldean! I never heard of Paldean! How far is that from Kalos?

[She blinked, then laughed a little awkwardly, bringing Chespie forward.]

Sorry, what does chico mean? You mean Chespie, right? He's my Chespin! I started my journey with him, isn't he just the best, Juliana?

Oh, yeah, didn't say my name... it's Mairin! Nice to meet you!

[grapetreasure]

[Juliana hums in thought but then shrugs.]

No clue. I haven't been to Kalos, but I know from my textbooks it's far from Paldea.

[She chuckles as she crouches down before she tries to pat Chespie's head.]

It's "little guy" in Paldean. And I have to agree. He's cute and the best!

[lavieenmarron]

Textbooks, huh? You must be really smart!

[Alas, Mairin can't even recognize what a globe is, much less read a map!]

Oh, that's cute! He is a chico, isn't he?

[Mairin pet Chespie eagerly, amused.]

Hear that, Chespie? You're getting praised!

[Chespie laughed a bit bashfully.]

Your Pokemon...? What kind of Pokemon is that?

Turnbloom City

[goingallout]

[Now Ash was just minding his own business. And while usually when he spots someone enjoying their meal with their Pokemon, he'd take a quick glance at the Pokemon, smile, and then move along. But however this is different.

Immediately Ash sprints towards Miraidon's direction and watches the futuristic dragon-like creature with so much sparkle in his eyes.]

WOAH!! It's a Pokemon I've never seen before!!! You're so cool!!!

Pikaaaa!

Re: Turnbloom City

[grapetreasure]

[It didn't take long for both trainer and Pokemon to notice a boy and his Pikachu admiring the latter. Seeing the sparkles in both of their eyes makes the dragon tilt its head with a sandwich still in its mouth.]

Agia?

[Juliana chuckles upon seeing her Pokemon's confusion.]

Don't worry, he's only complimenting you, Miraidon. Don't be shy!

[Hearing this, Miraidon's LED eyes widen and once it gobbles down the sandwich, it tries to start licking both the boy and Pikachu.]

[goingallout]

H-Hey!

[Miraidon's sudden show of affection got a laugh out of both Ash and Pikachu. Well aren't you friendly fella!]

So you're Miraidon, huh?

[Ash without hesitation, he brushes his hand over the dragon-type's head, noting how smooth and shiny its skin is... like it's made of steel. And its eyes almost look like screens from an electronic device.]

Y'know for a Pokemon you look pretty strange for one! [Then he glances at Juliana curiously.] Is this Pokemon yours?

[grapetreasure]

Gian!

[Yeah, it's not gonna stop licking until it's tired. Juliana has to accept that until then.]

Yeah. It was formerly owned by a friend of mine before he entrusted it to me. Ever since then, it has been my traveling and battling partner ever since.

[Well, there is a lot more behind her explanation, but there is no way she's going to open that bag of bones for Arven's sake.]

[goingallout]

Stop that, it tickles! H-Hey!!

[And more laughs are coming out from him. Watch Ash as he attempts to pry Miraidon from licking at his face more. Even though he doesn't exactly mind entirely, it's just not the appropriate time is all.

Pikachu on the other hand, opts to climb down from Ash and start sniffing at Miraidon.]

Miraidon must have been a really reliable partner to you!

[...Oh right, he didn't catch her name yet. Might as well start the introductions.]

I'm Ash! Over there is my buddy, Pikachu! We're actually from Kanto, but we ended up getting drifted into this place.
