--ah! I still know how to turn it on!

[ Pop goes the feed, and the face of a young girl with short black hair and blue eyes appears on the screen. There's a Skarmory also peering down at the screen with wonder and squawks at what Xion's doing with the PokeGear. ]

I, uh... [ Oh, now that she's gotten it back on, she... really didn't think about what she should say. Instead, she gives a brief wave with a shy smile before that hand goes to rub at her neck in slight embarrassment. She recovers quickly, though, after her new steely companion bumps her beak against Xion's cheek. ]

It's been a long time, it seems. At least I think it should be for here. It didn't even feel like I was gone, and yet... I remember this time.

It's good to be back.

Thank you, Atsuro. And you too! Aside from being older, how are you?

...Losing that badly a second time will surely refresh his memory, though it will be too late for his team's sakes.

He was. About a month ago. The police finally did something useful with their time, though it didn't last long.

[A week. Two at the most. She's not complaining about him being off the streets, though. And it was very nice to see him get carted away, that's for sure.]

Ahhh, so you already know about the War too? Saber must really trust you to tell you about things like that. You know there's supposed to be a rule that ordinary people aren't allowed to know about it, right?

Well, it's just nothing new.

[He sighs and shakes his head.]

But don't worry about it. I'll figure it out. Besides, it's just good to see you around again.

That would be due to the fact that a lot kind of happened ever since I set foot inside Mt. Moon.

[getting chased by an Onix, and a horde of Clefairies ain't a fun thing.]

[What got his attention the most is the Skarmory, since the people he seems to get along with has Skarmorys for starters. Although something pings his interest.]

You forgotten before?

[ex_cashcow493]

Mm, that long ago?

[ Even Saber feels a bit of guilt for not recalling right away. Her mind's been so scattered lately along with so many allies coming and going as of late. ]

Well, even still I have heard of stranger. If they are interested in training with you, they will return and that is that. If not, there is no harm in conjuring a new team in their place. This Skarmory will aid you in that.

Like what? Are you hurt, Shinn?

[memoryborn]

What? They let him go? Why?

[ Sure, Route was one of the nicest worlds she's ever been to. A bit light on punishments and all that, but still. ]

[memoryborn]

And you, Riku. Once I get to Cherrygrove, is it okay to take my team back? I mean, if it's okay with you and them. You must have taken care of them well while I was away.

[video]

[memoryborn]

I think Axel might be up for sweeping him. He knows Thunder Punch, and I know he's with Riku. I'll be getting him back once I get to Cherrygrove.

[memoryborn]

Yeah, I'm sure she will. [ This is followed by a confirming screech that earns a small smile. ]

Have you been doing okay, Saber?

[Video]

[memoryborn]

[ Startles. ] R-Really? I'm sorry, then, I didn't mean to pry too much into--

[ Well, wait. They're not a part of Illya's and Saber's world, so why is she apologizing? Other than Xion being Xion. She tries to clear her throat. ]

Um, why is that?

video.

[memoryborn]

Yeah. One time I was here before, and that's the one time I don't remember. I remember my previous stay here, though. I'm not the only one to have gone through this, too.

[video]

[paladinlost]

How cruel. Leading him to expect Flamethrower, and then using Thunder Punch instead.

[video; locked]

[soggypastry]

Because the police haven't changed since you left. Two weeks is still the longest time they keep anyone locked up.

[A "Bit" light? That's a bit of an understatement.

Taking him in was probably the most good they've done in years.

[She waves it off though, clearly amused rather than angry.]

It's fine, it's fine! It's just that normal people aren't supposed to know about magic in the first place where we come from, and the Grail War... well, there are stronger magics out there, but not very many of them.

But it's not like it matters while we're here. I can't even use magic and there are a lot of other people who don't even bother to hide that they were magi or something similar in this world, so really, there's no harm. I can tell you more about it if you're really curious.

Pretty good! I'm pretty much checking out Kanto and tackling each gym as I go! Since I'm in Pewter right now, I'll take on Brock next.

[video; locked]

[memoryborn]

What did he do that got him arrested in the first place?

[Video]

[memoryborn]

Oh, I remember him. Are you going against his elite team?

[video]

[memoryborn]

Cruel? But it's strategy!

[Video]

[memoryborn]

That would be nice. I used to be able to use magic before coming here, too. I kind of wish they allowed curative spells, at least.

[Video]

[dressofheaven]

So you were a Magus too! Or... whatever they call it where you come from. Then it's definitely fine, no one would have a problem with you knowing. They'd probably want you to join the Magus Society though. Where should I start?

[paladinlost]

A cruel strategy that lets him believe that he has the slightest chance of winning, when anyone can tell you'll be out of that Gym holding a badge within ten minutes.
