[Intro] A Kalosian Professor Appears!
[Drifted into Route 1]
[Being drifted into the Ultern Region seems to be a confusing phenomenon. One moment, Professor Sycamore was in his lab. Then the next thing he knew, he was at the beach standing in front of the sea just as he left to get some coffee at a nearby café. And that's after he noticed that he still has his lab coat on. Well, this isn't the weirdest thing he ever encounters in his life. If anything, finding out where he was transported is the least of his worries.]
[Turnbloom City]
[For some dumb luck reason, Professor Sycamore manages to find his way in Turnbloom City. While he was still wandering around to check out the sites of the city, it doesn't mean he doesn't have time to introduce himself to the locals and other Drifters.]
Why hello! I mean, Ulsai! I was hoping you might recommend me some cafes available here in Turnbloom.
[Otherwise, if you like, you can approach him while he looks around the city.]

This cafe here is really nice! They have outside tables!

Sure.
[-hands you a disguised Rocket-]
[It's Attila, in a very conspicious disguise of kimono, straw hat, and geta sandals. It's not even a look that'd be common among Ulternian natives, but he's not trying to pass for one either, his dialect's too different. He's not wearing his usual sunglasses, using just the straw hat to hide his eyes, and his blonde hair's concealed.]
There's a pretty good one in the cafe in the Pokemon Center in Glitterace Town. Haven't got a good look at the cafes here in the city... there's some nice Kalosian and Ulternian fusion cuisine restaurants around, though.
[...and he is fooled!]
Ah, that's good to hear. I'll see if I can visit it later. Are you a visitor to this region, too?
[poor Sycamore! ... Attila has no ulterior motives for this very moment, just building rapport~]
Although, visitor makes it sound a lot more intentional... anyway, I'm from Johto. You?

Speaking of which, my name is Augustine Sycamore. I'm a Pokemon Professor researching Mega Evolution.

[Turnbloom City; I'll type up a proper community post for her soon enough, but!!!]
[What's that, use the Ulternian greeting? No way, she's not used to it yet, she just got here, and she's so excited to meet a familiar face!
Incoming Mairin hug because can you believe this is the second time she's been stranded in a foreign region!!!]
BTW, his canon point is post-XYZ, so...
Mairin! Bonjour! I didn't expect to see you here.
[never a problem, no stranger to time/space paradoxes!]
Me and Chespie are doing our best, wherever we go!
[Her Chespin had a bit more trouble keeping up with the running Mairin, with his shorter legs and stouter body, but he did his best to keep her safe and happily greeted the Professor who raised him first, waving at him.]
He's always such a big help, the most reliable Pokemon in Kalos! ... or, well, Ultern now?
no subject
Glad to hear you and Chespie are doing great. How's Alain, by the way? I hope he's doing well with you.

Turnbloom!
[Despite the Ulternian greeting, Elio's giving what's most obviously an Alolan wave. He's beaming wide happy to meet someone new.]
Is this your first time in town? I'd be happy to show you around, Mister...?
Re: Turnbloom!
[And yes, he notices the wave. But he's not gonna comment on it for now. It would be rude for a young tour guide.]
no subject
[While he's never met Sycamore in person he's heard of the man. Beaming he'll then gesture for Sycamore to follow him.]
They have a nice cafe over in the Pokemon Center here! The barista Larson is nice! Plus it never hurts to know where the Pokemon Center is too!
no subject
[And so he follows the young tour guide.]
Ah, so I heard. I was about to find out where the Pokemon Center is.

Let's keep it up you guys! We'll need to build all the strength we'll need to earn our first Gym Badge here! One, two, one, two-

...Professor Sycamore?!
[Oh heck, did he get drifted here too!?]
(And where's Pikachu?)
Hello, Ash! It's been a while, huh?
[Then he sees Greninja.]
And it's nice to see you too, Greninja.
He's there! I've mentioned that in my permissions :D
While it's nice to see Sycamore's doing well, Ash look less happy and more concerned.]
Professor, how long have you been here? Has anyone told you where you are yet?

Route 1
However the first Pokemon Professor X spotted wasn't the one he had in mind. He froze staring at the very familiar sight of Sycamore--which caused him to immediately whip around seemingly searching for something around them first. Realizing it was just Sycamore did X feel disappointment weigh inside himself.
He sighed, half tempted to just turn away and leave the man but...even still... he kept thinking about Trevor. Just how much Trevor adored the man and-]
Pooomp!
[Coiffe's cry broke X out from his thoughts as he looked up to really get a better look at Sycamore, from his rolled up sleeves to a familiar sight of the Mega Ring.]
What...? That ring... you have one too?
Re: Route 1
Of course, it didn't take long for his worries to disappear to see not only a Pokemon he had never seen before back in Kalos, but a young man with a familiar ring bracelet on his wrist asking him about his own.]
Do you mean my Key Stone?
[He shows the said gem that was attached to his watch to the young man.]
This is actually my old watch converted to a special accessory for the Key Stone I like to call a Mega Watch. Though normally, I used it for my research.
no subject
Something about him was different. Plus, the lack of recognition on Sycamore's part was far more telling to X. He'll nod to Sycamore upon his explanation.]
...right, sorry. I've heard about you before from a friend of mine. You're Professor Sycamore, correct?
no subject
Why yes, I am. Are you from the Kalos region?
