Ronhai: An Adventure Begins IC

"Not at all. You?"

"If I knew, why would I have asked?" Dante said, and then looked around. "Remember that Tyla person?"

"I'd rather not. Why?"

"She didn't seem lost at all."

"Do you remember which way she went?"

"That was yesterday afternoon. Heck, I don't know where you two even battled."

"You're so helpful. Do we remember where our campsite was?"

"No. Thats why I took my sleeping back with me."

"Great. So we're lost, then."

"Yep." Dante replied casually, and then his Aipom and Starly came back. "Fortunately, we have our Pokemon." he replied. "And maps. And a compass app."

"So then why'd you ask me if I knew how to get out? And why didn't you stop and get a map app while you were at it?"

"Where's the fun in that? Or, as our kind professor would say... 'Vhere's ze fun in zhat?'" Dante replied, taking out his map. Which was promptly taken off of him by a wild Ambipom.

"Well, good thing I have my map app, then."

...

"Crap. It only shows where we've been."

"Sounds like you need some help." says a voice that you have trouble locating for a brief moment that you could have used for something else more important like painting a picture... of a guy... with a big knife. Oh, yeah, sorry. You finally determine the voice to belong to a boy slightly older than both of you but still young. Standing beside him is an Eevee.

"Hi. What's your name? Do you know the way out? I'm Sam. Where'd you get your Eevee?"
Sam was freaking out.

My name is Paul. Last name is Nytesirk, more or less. Yes I do, but I stink at directions so I recommend you follow me. Nice to meet you Sam. I don't remember. Respectably. No I don't just talk in simple sentences and fragments.

"You don't? Everyone but Dante seems to around me." Sam looked aroundfor Dante, but he was nowhere to be found. Oh well...

"Who's this Dante and why do I have the feeling I have seen you before?" ((He hasn't, though. Or at least not met. Maybe saw on the street one day while buying some pie...)

"He's my friend and I don't think you have. Hey, there's a Paras. Hold on a second."

...

"Say hello to Crabby."

"What Krabby? All I see is... oh."

"Fail. Say, do you have an opinion of this app?" Sam rotated around his Poketch until he got to Serebii. "What do you think of the name? How about that Fourth Wall in the corner? Whyis it broken?"

"I'm sure if some people are watching us from behind glass that they would know."

"I don't see any glass. Do you?"

"Not really. At least not to my awareness."

"Oh, okay. Weird, the app switched." Crabby clicked its claws.
