From Dreamland to Hoenn

A trio of animal friends from Dreamland, now in...Hoenn?! | Pokemon IRL blog run by Bench.

[animaltrio]

Hello, new world!

I'm Rick the hamster! I use he/him pronouns.

I'm Coo the owl! It's a pleasure to meet you all. She/her, please.

And, well, I'm Kine the fish. Er, they/them.

We seem to have ended up in some sort of alternate dimension.

One with a lot of very strange creatures.

Apparently it's called Hoenn? At least from that sign I saw.

We're looking for a way back to Dreamland. If anyone here knows how to get back there, let us know!

OOC

Hello! Bench here with yet another Pokemon IRL blog. This time, for Faller versions of Rick, Coo, and Kine from Kirby's Dream Land 2.

This may have been a mistake, given how many PokeIRL blogs I have already, but I digress.

Rick's text will be white, Coo's purple, and Kine's blue.

Pelipper Mail and all its variants, along with Mystery Gift and Union Circle, are all on. Magic anons are off. Sapient Pokemon interactions are allowed and encouraged!

I hope you all enjoy this blog!

[animaltrio]

Yep, were humans, the only species found in every region as far as I'm concerned. I don't know how different your world is from ours, but I feel like you'll need to adapt quickly to a lot of things.

Very strange.

[animaltrio]

You mean humans? Yeah, you'll see us everywhere.

Is, er, that what they're called?

[animaltrio]

We're now in a town called Littleroot!

It's, er, very weird, there's lots of people here who look like Adeline. Maybe they're the same species?

Whatever they are, they do not appear to know what to do with us.

Yeah, I've heard lots of "what are they?"s.

And, er, a bunch of "how can they talk?"s.

As well as far too many "can I have one"s.

[animaltrio]

Oh! You’re here! Uh- hi? Hope you’re not too mad at me

@swordsman-but-pokemon

Why are you here.

[swordsman-but-pokemon]

Gonna be honest I don’t really know. I don’t even know how I’m still alive but I’m chill now I’m chill I have friends and do not intend on being that stupid ever again

[animaltrio]

Why?

[swordsman-but-pokemon]

I attacked because I was lonely but through the power of Kirby I am no longer that stupid

If that’s what you’re asking

[animaltrio]

Er, and you expect us to just take you at your word, after what you did?

[animaltrio]

Oh! You’re here! Uh- hi? Hope you’re not too mad at me

@swordsman-but-pokemon

Why are you here.

[swordsman-but-pokemon]

Gonna be honest I don’t really know. I don’t even know how I’m still alive but I’m chill now I’m chill I have friends and do not intend on being that stupid ever again

[animaltrio]

Why?

[animaltrio]

Oh! You’re here! Uh- hi? Hope you’re not too mad at me

@swordsman-but-pokemon

Why are you here.

[animaltrio]

We've made it to some sort of town!

The sign says Littleroot. I suppose that's what it is called.

Er, I think someone saw us.

[animaltrio]

Oh, I can answer that one! Professors are, like. Old(er? It depends on the place) men who know a lot about how things work. I think there's a couple women professors, too? But it's mostly men.

Uh, I looked it up and apparently the one in Hoenn's called Birch? I can't send pictures with this thing, though. He's got short brown hair and. He's wearing some long white jacket thing called a labcoat. Works in a town called Littleroot, apparently? ...Sorry if that's not much help.

- K

I see. Thank you for the explanation.

[animaltrio]

So you lot are in hoenn....

You should find a proffessor! I'm sure they'd be happy to help

A proffessor?

[keoke03]

immature.

[animaltrio]

Er, who's immature?

[animaltrio]

Because uh... humans in this world don't often see an animal (or well, pokemon) speak human?

[ ooc: do they speak human or... ]

Why not?

And er, why do you call it "speaking human"?

OOC: They'll be able to speak human, yes.

[animaltrio]

Yyyyeah uh. Talking. Animals. Are very much? Not a thing here? At least not in the part of the Pokémon World I am they're not. It's kind of weird, honestly.

- R

Very strange.

[animaltrio]

Oh uh, be careful! Are you three still animals? Cause if so, then the humans there may not react so good, considering you're a talking one

We are still animals, yes.

Why would they do that?

[animaltrio]

Oh, you're. Also in a Pokémon world, now. That's - uh. Huh!

You... probably don't know me, but. I'm from Dreamland, too. I'm... not Hoenn, though. Hi! Name's Ritchie. How have you guys been adjusting so far?

- R

Hello! It's nice to meet others on here from Dreamland.

We have been traversing through a forest for some time now.

...I think I see a town through those bushes!

[reverencedflower]

(@animaltrio) Hello! Can you tell us anything about Hoenn? We appear to be stranded here, away from Dreamland. -Rick

Um, I'm Sinnohan, so I'm not sure. Hoenn's a pretty long train ride away, so I've never been.

I've never heard of a Dreamland either... Is it just called that, or are you literally from dreams? Like a Munna kind of situation?

[animaltrio]

No idea what a Munna is, but Dreamland, while not literally being a dream, has a strong connection to dreams!

[animaltrio]

There's a lot of history between trainers (usually humans, though non-humans are welcome to become trainers if they so choose) and pokemon. Using a pokeball on a pokemon is an offer of companionship - to travel together, for as long as you both can do so. Remaining in the pokeball is a pokemon accepting that offer. Sometimes, pokemon wish for proof that their trainer will take care of them and help them become better, so they don't take the first offer. They might take an offer later, once the trainer has proven themself. The main show of proof is a sporting match of strength known as a pokemon battle (usually shortened to "battle") though other ways exist.

I see. Thank you for the explanation. That does help matters quite a bit.
