[INTRO] X-ing over to a new land!
[WHERE: The entrance of Gilterrace Town.
X is taking a step forward only to stop. There's a dumbfounded look on his face as he's very obviously examining his surroundings. Slowly but surely his expression is becoming less and less expressive. While he doesn't say the question that's weighing his mind, he can be seen through out the town. His steps are on the quick side, as if looking for something or someone.]
[WHEN: Afternoon
X can be found on route 1--with a Pokedex in hand. There's an group of Ulternian Sunkerns frolicking about, minding their own business. X here just seemed absolutely baffled as his Pokedex not only recognize the Pokemon before him--but they were registering as a normal Sunkern.
Why was that...?
He seemed to be engrossed with his Pokedex, even with a Kangaskhan sitting directly behind him.]
[WHY: was he here?
Stubbornly refusing to return to town, X is setting up camp over at the Shrouded Woods. By setting camp it's more like he's found a hollow tree trunk and sitting there, not moving. He's tired, and he's given up on walking. Surely no one would come to look for him inside a tree trunk. No one suspicious, anyway.]
(ooc: come pester X from PokeSpe! He's a little bit before the epilogue but he shouldn't be as anti-social as he was near the start of his journey--)

[The phone on his hand buzzes, as if Rotom is introducing itself to X. And while his current Rotom isn't as talkative as the other one, it's still just as reliable in giving him details and information like any other Pokedex would.]
I knew it! [He beams.] Hey if you'd like, I can show you to this town's Pokemon Center!
no subject
wait, what was that?]
The Pokemon Center?
[Instinctively X placed his hand against his Pokeballs. Was it safe there...? But the nurses there had never done things to hurt any of their Pokemon, but what if? What if Team Flare somehow lurked here too?
No, this wasn't Kalos. It wasn't Kalos or someone like Ash wouldn't be here to talk to him.]
Sure, it's a good idea to know where one is nearby.
no subject
...Are you okay?
Piika-chu?
no subject
[X looked away. He must have been too obvious just now. He had to be more aware of his surroundings. It was just himself here.]
I'm just tired. It was a long way to get back home.
no subject
Then that's all the more reason to visit the Pokemon Center! C'mon, it's this way!
[Ash gestures X to come along and leads the way to the Center. And once there, Nurse Joy greets the two boys upon entering with the usual friendly Ulternian hospitality.]
Ulsai, Nurse Joy!
no subject
There was a cozy atmosphere about it, and the nurse--Joy, Ash said seemed friendly enough. He glanced down to his team within their Pokeballs idly wondering whether to hand them over to her. They weren't exactly tired, and they had been a step away from entering Vaniville their home.
A frown formed as X thought of his hometown, and his friends. Kanga noticing X's expression wiggled within her Pokeball. He gave a small nod to her, before turning to Ash.]
.....hey, what does "ulsai" mean?
no subject
[Though much of Ultern reminds him a lot about his second home. And maybe that's why he's gotten very comfortable with the place too.]
Anyway, you can ask Nurse Joy if you wanna check-in for the night here. Or if you'd like, I can get you something at the cafe!
no subject
[Much like how they would use "bonjour" in Kalos. If he stuck with using the greeting maybe he won't stick out like a sore thumb despite his Kalosian accent.
He glanced over to the counter contemplating staying the night but... X shook his head.]
I just wanted to know where it was for my Pokemon. That's all.
no subject
[Now what else should he tell X... Ash crosses his arms in thought.]
What else... there's a lot of other places you can check out, like further south of this town is Turnbloom City. Oh! And there's plenty of Pokemon here that you don't see from Kalos if you wanna check them out!
[With Pokemon mentioned, nothing else came to mind after that.]
Hmmm, I dunno what else to tell you. But if you need any help with things, just give me a call! Actually...
[He raises his Rotom Phone once more.]
We should exchange numbers! That way, you can reach out to me anytime!
no subject
I don't have any way that I can repay you at the moment...
[X began only to fall silent at the mention of exchanging numbers. He didn't have a Holocaster on him. He had no reason to keep one, nor the desire to use it given what he had experienced. X lightly shook his head.]
I don't have a phone on me. So there's no number I could give you.
no subject
Nah, you don't have to! I'm just more than happy to help ya out!
[...No phone? Welp. Ash puts his away with that revelation.]
Is that so? Ehehe, that's fine. We'll work something out somehow.
no subject
[It wasn't exactly a lie when his friends were right next to him. That and it was to less the danger of being tracked.
X will pause trying to think of a solution.]
How about we just make a plan to meet again?
no subject
but that's because it was the 90s and mobile phones were just bricks-until his work as a Research Fellow. Even then, he wasn't exactly easy to reach out to anyway. Not that Ash would remember to mention it.At X's suggestion, he nods in agreement.]
I'm down with that! Then how about we meet up again here in this town's Pokemon Center? Does that sound good?
no subject
[Under normal circumstances X would have been against it. It would be too risky. As he took a look around everyone paid no mind to them, enjoying their day. So far...things have been peaceful. It felt surreal, like a dream almost.]
Alright, that works for me.
no subject
Pika!
[Pikachu happily cheers at X, also looking forward to meeting their new friend again.]
no subject
Alright. ....I think, I'll get going now. I appreciate the help.
