The land remains, the land endures

Arrival, Part 1

Anyone walking out on Stardust Beach might be surprised to see someone new, a young man with brown hair lying facedown in the sand, groaning. A Carnivine hovers over him worriedly, drifting back and forth in what looks like the equivalent of pacing. Finally, he turns over, looking up at her.

"Ugh, Macy...where are we?"

"Vine..." She sounds just as confused as he is.

Arrival, Part 2

Meanwhile, Turnbloom Gym now has a young teen hanging around outside, face pressed against the glass as they observe the gym interior. They're holding a carved walking stick that seems way too tall for them. After a bit, they try to wave down a passerby.

"Hey! Do you know where we are? And have you seen my dad?"

"Oh, no... did you come here without your papa too?" Ai asked sympathetically, frowning, her hands coming up to cover her mouth. "To Ultern, I mean... this region?"

[loudvoiceloudbabybird]

Brinda blinks, a distressed look on their face. "I hope not! We were just together before I suddenly woke up here without him!"

[starinheaven]

"That does sound like drifting..." Ai said, frowning. "I'm sorry. I hope you can still find them, but a lot of us just show up alone, without friends or family... the trainers usually have their Pokemon, though."

[loudvoiceloudbabybird]

"Oh..." Brinda is actually a bit relieved at that information. Maybe they count as one of Nathaniel's Pokemon and they just need to find him?

"Wait, you said 'too'...are you here alone?"

[starinheaven]

"Yes..." Ai says, a bit sadly, but smiling still. "Don't worry, another drifted boy took me to live with Professor Banyan. He's very kind!"

[loudvoiceloudbabybird]

"Oh! That's good!" Brinda looks relieved. "I'm Brinda, by the way! What's your name?"
