A dangerous criminal has discovered the ability to move between worlds. He must be found and brought to HQ immediately! He was last seen in Kanto. Questers are to report to Creature Resources to recieve a Pokémon in order to enter the world. As most of you are new to the world, you will be given basic unevolved Pokémon of Level 5 standard. No trading. All Pokémon are usable in all regions of the world; however, Pokémon not originally from a region may be noticed as such. Pokémon nicknames are allowed. No weaponry is permitted. Due to the nature of the world, the use of magic is inadvisable. Lexi read the note again. With it was a sketch picture of what the man might look like now, but she couldn't really make much sense of it. He seemed to look like your average guy. She'd done some background research on the strange creature she'd been given and discovered it was a dark-type, fox-like Pokémon called 'Zorua'. Apparently, CR were giving them out based on the Quester's personality and individual abilities. Lexi wondered what in the world they must think of her. In her pack of supplies, she'd been given a map of each region they were likely to need to explore, a set of five Pokéballs, a handful of healing potions, a device called a 'Pokédex', and a small amount of money. She'd also had the sense to bring some basic supplies, just in case. Weapons may not be permitted, but they'd said nothing about the knife she always kept with her. Some time ago, she'd used a spell that vastly extended the space in the pockets on her utility belt. Since that was ages ago, she'd assumed it would be okay for this world, as she wasn't technically using magic here. The portal had dumped her unceremoniously in a tiny place called "Pallet Town". She got up and dusted herself off. For the purposes of blending in, she'd donned a t-shirt and jeans, trainers and had a jacket tied around her waist, since it was far too hot to wear it. She looked around, anxiously hoping another Quester would turn up soon, as she'd been getting some weird looks ever since she'd arrived.

Nabarl had seen a mission that precluded magic, and decided, after his previous outings, he could use something a little simpler.
When he was told that he would need to hand over his scythe and most of his thievery tools, he was a little off edge, but accepted it.
However, when he was told that his wings would be being bound fully for the duration of the quest, and he was not to shift into raven form, for his safety, he was left wondering how on Tellius he could manage to keep picking the strangest of assignments.
Head office had given him something called a Geodude. It looked like a rock with arms. They told him it was as resilient and single minded as he could be. When he went through the portal, he was just outside a town, and there seemed to be some commotion going on. He headed for the town square, to see what was going on.

"Nabarl!" Lexi called, pushing through the crowd and running to him "Please tell me you're not just on holiday here"

"I probably should be after my last outing, but no, I'm working. I'm going to assume you are too?"
Nabarl was glad to see Lexi. Someone he had worked with before would make adjusting to a mission while grounded easier.
"I would suggest we move on from here. Fast." He turned from the crowd to face her. "Any objections?"

"None at all" Lexi was glad to have someone she'd worked with before with her. "Do you know if anyone else is coming?"

"Head office didn't give me any answer. You know how they can be at times. At least this time they gave me some background on the world."
Nabarl looked back at the town they had left. Then at the road in front of him.
"I'd suggest leaving some sort of sign in case anyone else turns up, but I don't like the idea of going back in there."

Lexi looked around. Either way she looked at it, she'd be breaking one of the many rules. 'No-one will even notice' the Voice in her head told her. She pulled her wand from a pocket on her utility belt. She'd been keeping it with her in case she ever needed it, since she had no intrinsic magic of her own. She muttered under her breath and waved the wand in the air. The words 'Questers this way!' appeared in huge, smokey, red letters, with an arrow pointing in the direction they were going. "It should only appear to beings that aren't from this world" she explained.

"I saw nothing."
Nabarl rummaged around in his backpack, and pulled out his map.
"According to this, we have a day or two's travel before we reach a major city. I'm guessing we start our search there."

"Sounds like a plan to me" Lexi smiled, pocketing her wand. A few minutes later, as they were walking along a dusty path, a flock of small bird creatures flew down to the ground a few meters ahead of them. "How much background research have you done?" Lexi asked "If I'm not mistaken, that looks like a flock of Pidgey" she felt very excited, and somewhat proud of herself for remembering this one. Lexi had been studying the creatures of this world, particularly this region, for about a week now, and found them fascinating. It was like the creatures possessed a kind of magic that they seemed willing to share with the humans, who in turn used them to work, play and fight. Yet, the creatures seemed to enjoy it. There even seemed to be a kind of status that went with having a human partner that wild creatures had yet to achieve. 'If I was one of these creatures' she'd thought 'I'd destroy anyone who tried to tie me to them like this'.

"I still need to familiarise myself with how battles work, but after them essentially giving me a phrasebook for our first dance, I think I'm a little bit more prepared. I have the basics down, and I'm not too bad with tactics. I also studied the encyclopaedia for a while, so I can recognise most of them without too much difficulty."
Nabarl took a quick glance over the birds in front of them.
"Look again - the two furthest from us. Their crests are elongated. Pidgeotto or Pidgeot. They look a little small for Pidgeot, though not impossibly small."
Nabarl looked at the birds, and thought of his own wings. He wanted to fly again, but those guys were too small. Maybe next time.
