[Intro] A Kalosian Professor Appears!

[megabond]

[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.]

[Immediately at the mention of Ash's name, X lifted his gaze up. Having met that other trainer before, immediately everything seemed to click together. This was the Professor Sycamore Ash knew, and received a Pokedex from. Did he also get a Pokemon from him too?

If he had known this Professor Sycamore, would they have been able to stop Team Flare sooner? He didn't know, but...maybe he could take his own step forward to trust the Professor in front of him.]

It's okay, Professor. The fact we had people looking out for us and fought along side us is more than enough to know that Team Flare can't take our life and dreams away.

[He'll turn away, adjusting his cap. It was to mostly hide his embarrassed face. He's never spoke to Sycamore like this before. It was hard.]

It's all in the past. I should learn to let it go, and not take it out on someone I just met.

[megabond]

[Sycamore sighs as he nods to X. He still recalls the many people who helped out during the Lumiose City and without them including the Kalos Gym Leaders, Kalos would be doomed regardless.]

You're right. There is no point in looming over it. [He smiles in melancholy.] I think we should change the subject now. All we can do is move forward and know we still have our hopes and dreams for the future.

[He then pats Garchomp's head, who was worried since her trainer raised his voice. Patting her is telling her he's okay now.]

[closedbond]

[The future... he had been a step away from rebuilding from what he and his friends had to leave behind. His home had been destroyed, but everyone had returned to Vaniville...]

I...don't know what to do here. Did you have any plans?

[He wasn't sure what to expect from this Sycamore, a complete stranger but from how Sycamore spoke to him, and how gentle Garchomp had been he wanted to give it a try, at least.]

I mean...we are both far away from Kalos. This place is very different.

[megabond]

[Good question. Sycamore hums in thought.]

Along with continuing my Mega Evolution research, I do have plans to investigate the mysteries of the Ultren region, including how we got here in the first place.

[Then an idea pops up.]

Do you have some spare time tomorrow? Maybe we should share some information that we might able to crack a code regarding our predicament.

[closedbond]

[Continuing his research and investigating their displacement? That was a lot to take on, X thought to himself. It was a lot more than he was used to from Sycamore, really.

At the invitation he blinked, and carefully considered it.]

Okay. I don't have much going on so far so I should be free. We can meet up at the Pokemon Center nearby. I heard plenty of trainers meet there.

[megabond]

[Sycamore nods and offers a handshake to X.]

Then that's should be a good place for our next meeting place again. I do need to find somewhere to stay and rest for today. So again, we should meet there tomorrow.

Right now, we should split off for today. We may need some space after those revelations.

[At Sycamore's offered hand he stared for a brief moment. It was oddly refreshing having someone with his face being receptive towards him. It made him almost understand why Trevor had taken such liking of Sycamore, back home.

Taking a hold of Sycamore's hand for a shake, he nodded.]

That sounds like a good idea. There's still a lot I wanted to do on my own around here, anyway. I'll see you around.

[megabond]

[Sycamore nods as he turns in the opposite direction after the handshake.]

Be careful and I'll see you soon. Au revoir!

[With that, Sycamore heads off to the city. He hopes he can meet X again. He is still a boy full of mysteries, but he also hopes he is free from the burdens of his past.]
