Good Morning, World! || [Closed|Intro]
"Mrrr..five more minutes before the TV interview, please," Gumi mumbled, rubbing her eyes as she sat up. As she opened them, she found her sight greeted with...was that sunlight? "H-huh..? Wha..wait where am I?!?" Quickly standing up, she scanned her surroundings for a sign of where she might be. She stood within a small patch of grass, on the side of what seemed to be a road, although there weren't any cars in sight. "This is definitely not my dressing room..! Oh man, oh man oh man oh man...I'm so lost!! This really sucks.."
Taking a step back, Gumi felt herself back into something. Or..was it a someone..? Whatever it was, it felt soft, jiggly, and almost..slimy in a way. "Whoah, uh, excuse me!" Gumi turned around, raising her hands slightly to give an apologetic wave of sorts. She was greeted by the sight of a very strange-looking green creature. It floated this way and that, seeming to levitate slightly in the air. Its body was incased in what appeared to be some sort of green gelatin. "Oh wow, how cute! But..what exactly are you, little guy?" "Duuu," the creature bubbled out, "..shon! Duuoohhshonnn."
Gumi tilted her head to the side, watching the green monster with eyes lit with curiousity. "Du..osion? Is that what you are? Is that like, slang for 'jelly monster' around here or something?" The Duosion nodded, letting out a small cheerful cry. "Heheh, alrighty! Well, I guess it's you and I together here. Would you mind helping me find out where exactly we are..?" "Shon! Duu, shonshon!" The Duosion bobbed this way and that, floating off down the road. Gumi ran after it, and stopped before a sign. "Ohh, okay! Lesse here..Route 9, is it?" The green-ette stood pondering before the sign, still confused. "Well, that's not much help. Route 9 in what world, though?" Just as she uttered these words, another person passed by her, and, seeing her standing in a bewildered stated, offered to take her and the Duosion to the nearest Pokemon Center. "Just down that road there? Oh, I think I can manage. But uh..what exactly is a Pokemon Center?"
..After much explaining from one very bewildered trainer, Gumi set off across Route 9, her new friend Duosion in tow. Mulling over the events she had thus far experienced, she let out an exasperated sigh. "Oh gosh..well, I mean this is cool and all, but...is there really no way to get back to my world? I'm really stuck here, and I have no idea why.. I just hope that my PR Team can manage without me for a little while! The press is probably having a field day...But, whatever! As long as I'm here, I might as well make the best of it, right?" "Shonnn," twittered the Duosion in agreement. "..Say, if we're going to be traveling together, why don't I give you a cool nickname? How does Gelato sound?" The newly named Duosion bobbed around in excitement, clearly approving of its nickname. "Wooho~oo! Gelato it is then. Ahh, wow! Hey, we're already here! This must be the town that guy was talking about.."
..And with that, Gumi had taken her first bold steps in the beginning of her Pokemon journey.
