--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.

Hello!

We haven't met, I'm Imogen!

Is it good to be back? Are you from one of those worlds that likes here better?

[memoryborn]

Hello, Imogen. I'm Xion. [ Have a small smile for the bit of enthusiasm she's displaying. ]

Well, it's definitely a lot safer than the world I came in.

[for_realsies]

*Imogen doesn't do enthusiasm in bits, she does it in terabytes.*

Xion is a weird name, I like it! Definitely suits you!

Safer is good. Have you figured out how long you've been gone from here? What you've missed? Are your friends still here?

[memoryborn]

[ Blink, blink. She's not sure what Imogen just meant with the name fitting her, but...

A-Anyway. ] It's been several months; I'm still trying to catch up on that; some of them are still here.

[ Phew. ]

[for_realsies]

There hasn't been a huge bunch of stuff going on. Just someone broke reality, prom, and... wait I think reality broke twice. Or once and it lasted a while...

I'm glad you have friends still around, that's good! What about your Pokemon friends?

[memoryborn]

I'm not sure. I think they might've gone to people I know or went off to the wild.

[for_realsies]

I hope they're happy wherever they are.

*Imogen's priorities.*

[memoryborn]

Mmm, I hope they are, too. If they wouldn't want to go back with me, that'd be fine.

[ Priorities. ]

[for_realsies]

Why wouldn't they want to be back with you? I'm pretty sure they aren't going to forget you or want a new trainer. And they'll still know how to sing Walking on Sunshine.

*Imogen do not waste depressing pop culture references on Keybladers.*

[memoryborn]

... Walking on Sunshine?

[ Yeah, what. ]

[for_realsies]

...Right, I can't reference TV shows because they are never the same in every world.

Keep forgetting that.

The point is, unless you were some evil Team Rocket trainer, I am sure your Pokemon want to see you again!

[memoryborn]

[ O-Okay. Moving on then... She quickly shakes her head at that last bit. ]

Definitely not. Well, it's really up to them. It's been a long while since I left, so they may just want to stay with the people or places who kept them safe. I don't mind.

[for_realsies]

I suppose if it is what they want. But... you shouldn't give up on them so easily.

It might hurt them if you aren't looking to see them again.

[memoryborn]

I'll look for them. It'll be when I find them is when I'll ask if they want to stay wherever they were comfortable in while I was gone.

[for_realsies]

Sound like the best plan. I hope you find them well!

[memoryborn]

Thank you for the concern, Imogen. It was nice talking with you.
