(starting song)

I woke up with still closed eyes, half way opening one to see if the storm still raged on. It was still blowing but not nearly as bad as yesterday's Yaaaaay... I thought tiredly then closed my eye trying to go back to sleep, enjoying the warmth of the sleeping bag. I then felt Nesia nestled under my chin, which caused me to make a small tired smile as I tried to sleep in. Me'sa not mind this...

It was another hour before I woke up again, I carefully and gingerly moved my right arm up from the bag, then opened my right eye checking the time of my watch. It showed 9:23 am. I guess should actually get up now... I thought unenthusiastic about getting out of that morning warm bed comfortability that is the sleeping bag, as well as pulling my arm back into the bag, and placing my hand next to Nesia.

If I get out of the sleeping bag, I'll lose it's trust. I thought humorously as I continued to lay there giving a half lidded stare at the mouth of the cave. I then felt two small arms gently grip my hand, at which I looked down to a degree, to see Nesia pulling my hand into what I assumed to be a sleep induced hug over it, bringing it closer to her. Awwwww. I thought with a tired warm smile, looking at the adorable sight.

Now that's assuring me not to leave. Heheheh, I'll just lay here for a bit more. I looked off to the entrance of our temporary shelter for a short time, before I felt one of my pokemon move up from the bag. Elora a moment later lazily popped her head out, then looked at the cave entrance, then looked at me flashing a small smirk. "Morning. Looks like we'll be able to continue walking through the pass now." She said, a note of grogginess in her voice.

"Yep, we'll move out in a bit." I whispered then noticed piano music, then realized it was my p.g.

Nesia's eyes fluttered open, then she looked around a little bit, then looked at me with a smile. "Snivy."

"Morning, we'll be going in a little bit. But before that. We're going to get something to eat." I said leaning up and realizing that I still had the Ralts in my coat. "Oh hello." I said somewhat quiet and rather nonchalantly. Said Ralts began to stir. "And now she wakes." Vlad stated seeing the Ralts beginning to wake up. I then unzipped my coat a little bit so she could see out better. She then leaned up a bit looking around, looking at the cave entrance then the walls, then looked around the spot she laid on, then looked up at me, which I produced a dismissive friendly smile. "Well morning there wee lass. Are ya doing better from last night?" I asked going into my irish man's accent. She looked at me a little hesitant then nodded. I smiled a little brighter. "Well, that's good ta hear." I said continuing accent.

"Plus, looks like the small thing of frostbite subsided as well. Though on that thought, does your hands or feet have any numbness? Any tingling?" I mentioned going back to my normal voice, then asked now in a sense of curious concern. She moved her small hands and wiggled her feet checking for the mentioned sensations, then looking back up at me shaking her head. I smiled a little more. "Well, das ist good." I said glad. She looked at me somewhat oddly then when I used what little german I knew. "Alright, girls let's get something to eat." I said leaning over to my pack and pulling it to me, then sitting back up after pulling it closer. "Alright, let's see, what do we have too munch on, today?" I asked as if expecting an answer opening up what I'd expect would be the food section. "Something warm would be nice." Psycho said not too incline of me eating something cold. Same. I agreed. Push comes to shove I could cook if need be. I thought. "True, but you haven't really cooked anything else besides a few things..." Vlad pointed out. Shit...that's right.

I looked into the pack for a minute or two, but all I found were the cold food and a bunch of ingredients... Wait a sec...I could use these. I thought as I grabbed out a couple ingredients, then to my pleasant surprise. A camping stove of sorts was in there as well, thankfully it had instructions on how to use it, which I looked through the important bits of it and turned it on, then I found a good sized pan to use with it. After that, about twenty or so minutes later I had a nice looking concoction cooking up. All three of pokemon looked at my creation intently.

Ooohhohoh, this is going to be good. I thought getting a good whiff of the food. Then another five or so minutes later it was done. "This, is one of the times where I surprise myself." I said with a short chuckle, scooping this concoction into bowls that I pulled out of the pack and gave varied servings to the three. Then putting some in a bowl for myself as the Ralts sat up unzipping my coat enough for her to climb out. After she got out of my coat she got comfortable on the sleeping bag. Which I handed her bowl of the concoction, with a spoon in it. She looked at it oddly then got a hold of the utensil. I looked at her to see her confusion.

"It makes it easier to eat it, don't have to use your hands getting them dirty and burned." I explained, it was actually kind of cute seeing the little pokemon trying to handle the spoon. For the most part she found that she can scoop up the contents of the bowl fairly easily. Then a few moments later she began eating, showing a smile in the process.

"Alright, let's see how well of a job I did." I said then tried a bite. I went wide eyed. Oh my sweet christ! When the hell was I this good at cooking! I thought surprised.

"Holy shit dude! That's worthy of calling it my new crack!" Psycho said happily.

Agreed! How the hell am I this good! I nearly yelled in my mind, very surprised of my suddenly epic cooking skill. I then heard, I want to call moans but I might be wrong on calling them that, of content to the flavor of my concoction. "Snivy sniv snivy!" Nesia said in glee, both Elora and the Ralts agreeing heartily.

"This is the best thing I have ever cooked in my life..." I said quietly, staring at my bowl. I then began eating more at a little bit of a quicker pace, since I couldn't eat quickly even if I tried, which I have in the past.

About twenty minutes later after cleaning the bowls and pan. Which took the first six minutes while the other fourteen were spent getting the damn sleeping bag back in among other things. "Get. In. You. Son. Of. A. Prick!" I said in betweening shoves, then giving it one mighty push into the pack with a grunt. "Ha Haaa!" I laughed triumphantly with a grin, then zipped it all back up, though not before getting another good drink out of my dew seeing it was just about empty. I decided to finish it off, stuffing it in the spot for temporary trash and grabbed out a new one, and took a quick swig from that. I then looked at the entrance of the cave, keeping up my smile as well after putting the bottle away.

"Alrighty then, Storms gone and we can continue on the path." I said with my rather natural sounding Scottish accent, then looked to the pokemon. "Alright lassies, time to get ready." I said continuing the accent getting my two pokemon and the Ralts situated then getting my pack on then my hat. "Come here Nesi." I said picking up the Snivy, and bringing her up to my shoulder. Which she clambered on and pulled my hood over herself, snuggling on my neck trying to get warm lightly shivering. "Now you." I said, then picked up Elora doing the same process as Nesia shared her spot.

"And finally you." I said getting the Ralts into my coat having one arm below her so she could stand, then zipped it up with her head poking out of the collar of the coat. "Alrighty. Hiho hiho to the city we go!" I sang and began walking to the entrance. We exited the cave as the light stung my light sensitive eyes, though it helped having my hat shade my eyes from the direct light. I stopped while clenching my eyes shut.

Oh my eyeballs... I thought as I slowly opened my eyes. Alright, more fucking walking... I thought as I trudged through the fresh snow, my eyes now finally adjusting.

Should I change the music back to my playlist? Eh maybe. ....Oh fuck it, I'll let it continue playing the tim janis station. Fuck giving levels are to low, to change it right now... I thought as I walked, my expression going into a neutral state, which could be mistaken for looking somewhat annoyed by some people.

It was another hour of walking before I saw what I believed to either be a road of sorts or just a path. I then looked up it to see more of it heading to the city. Alrighty then. I thought then began going up the path. Minutes later since now I was fully awake both mentally and bodily, I then got out my p.g pausing Pandora, then looked up my playlist. "Alright let's get back to the travel music." I said as I searched for a starting song, which one came to mind.

I lightly bobbed my head with a smile as the song played, which Elora began to follow along bobbing her head lightly too as I turned the sound up a few notches. Though keeping in mind that I'm in a snow ladened path that could have a decent sized avalanche smash by. "Just so you three are wondering, this song is call Tower Raven. It's from a type of music called dubstep. This is one of better sounding ones out there." I decided to explain getting a sense they were getting curious, especially the Ralts.

"As small that thing is, that poke gear can put out some fucking good sound!" Psycho said enthused by the device.

"And at high volumes to, higher then I'd ever thought given the size of the device." Vlad commented. "Hell, it might even surpass that Polaroid speaker you got."

If it does that, then I will be impressed. Till then, and when and if I have my speaker, I'm not going to be too impressed. Though. I'm liking it so far with some of it's features. I thought as I walked, getting my hands in the sleeves to warm them up.

"Plus, it looks like Nesia and Elora are rocking dubsteppers." Psycho mentioned.

Which, is good so far. I thought agreeing.

"This...dubstep, it sounds really cool." Elora said as she smiled, listening to the interesting music.

"There are some pretty awesome ones out there in the genre, though, there are a bunch of bad sounding ones out there as well." I noted from my bingeload sprees. (Basicly just going on a large music download spree)

"Ralts ral Ralts?" The Ralts asked, asking about the music.

"Yeah, it's a rather interesting genre of music. With different sub genres as well. I've been tempted in trying to try to make some of my own." I answered.

"Sni...snivy sni?" Nesia asked, curious of sub genre.

"A sub genre is a type of music like the original type but...I want to say branched off from it, to make it's own style." I said trying to explain as best I can.

"Snivy."

"Yeah." I affirmed, as I made a small jump over a decent sized hole. Continuing down the path to Snowbelle. I looked off to the side of the path to see a valley of sorts. Huh, nice mountain range. If I wasn't in my rather erratic situation, I'd call this...beautiful. Heh, the ones farther out look like paintings, kind of like rattlesnake in richland coming down the highway. I thought musing slightly, looking off for a few more moments then went back on my trek through this damn snow. God I hate having poor circulation in my fingers. I mentally sighed walking on as my music played on it's tunes.

"Well, upside to this little confuckle it's only about...another two or so miles up." Psycho said trying to silver line the situation.

"Or a little less then that." Vlad said trying to help as the city was in sight, though being slightly obstructed from the winding road hugging the side of this mountain like hill.

I quietly sighed as I walked on. "Just a little fucking more..." I said almost silently. An hour and a half later I start to finally near the damn place. Alright, now to get to one of those damn pokemon centers. I thought as I then started to feel pavement under my steps, then the song Fortune soul by Black Mill played.

"Holy shit! Road!" Psycho said slightly surprised.

Well holy shit. Kind of thought there wouldn't be. I thought somewhat surprised that there would be any sort of asphalt here.

"Snii...snivy sniv." Nesia said glad we're finally nearing someplace warm.

"Oh indeed..." I said in a soothing deep voice in agreement.

And so forth I walked on, though thankfully I saw the building I was looking for, which it looked pretty much looked exactly like the games and anime. ...shocking, and here I thought it'll be different. I thought little disappointed as I made my merry way to the center.

I finally reach the sliding doors of the center and get immediately welcomed by a rush of warm air as I entered the doors closing behind me. "Oh sweet christ..." I breathed out nearly tripping over, momentarily dazed by the warm air, which I quickly regained my balance with a quick though quiet 'oh shit' in the process as well as turning down my music to a good degree just to be courteous. I then looked around from where I stood, taking details of the first room of the building. Huh, looks a lot like the Kalos centers...though, a more kind of techy. And..home like? No...um, more comfortable feel- I thought before Psycho added. "Welcoming I think is what you're searching for." Yeah, I'd call it welcoming. I thought as I saw a dark wood panel floor, which looked kind of like pine wood if I was to vaguely guess, since I didn't really know much of plant life in the pokemon world, except for the berry bushes and the trees they use the nuts of for pokeballs. I then looked off to one of the waiting areas, which had carpeting instead, and rather comfortable looking chairs and couches with a few loveseats.

"Definitely going for comfortably welcoming kind of thing here." Vlad noted as I looked about. Yeah, that'd be it. I thought then saw computers in the waiting area. Oh fuck yes. I thought with a tired smile. I think I might take a day here. I thought then Psycho decided to add again. "Maybe more if another storm bitches by."

Shit that's right. Wait, I wonder what the storm patterns are like here. I thought now curious.

Though my thought process through those moments of analyzing were broken by a friendly sounding woman's voice, which I turned my attention to the front desk to see unsurprisingly a Nurse Joy, though interestingly enough she was a bit different. "Hello! Welcome to the Snowbelle pokemon center, can I help you with anything?" The blue haired Nurse Joy asked in a rather kind tone. Huh, actually didn't expect that. I thought actually surprised with slightly raised eyebrows. "That's something you don't see everyday." Vlad noted as I looked at the Nurse for a moment with a somewhat mute though somewhat surprised look. "...Yes actually." I began as I walked up to the Nurses desk. "I'd like my two pokemon checked and this Ralts. I saved her from that fricken blizzard that went by yesterday as I was making my way here." I explained as I nodded my head to the door slightly, which she looked at the Ralts with a concerned look.

The Ralts then shrank back a little bit into my coat, seeming nervous from the Nurse looking at her. "Oh you poor thing." She said to the Ralts somewhat saddened from it's previous predicament, then looked back up to me. "I'll make sure Ralts here is in good health." Nurse Joy said reassuringly. Which after that I went with the process with my pokemon then gave her their balls after I sent them in the balls for the time being. I then looked at the Ralts as I placed her on the desk in front of me, then gave her a small smile. "Alright, Joy here is going to heal you up. I'll just be by the waiting area just there," I said pointing a thumb to the area with the computers. "So I'm not going anywhere. I'll see you in a bit." I said reassuring her with more of a warmer smile, if she had any doubts of me being a dick and just leaving her here. She nodded. "Alright, I'll have them out for you in a bit." Nurse Joy said then picked up the Ralts in a caring manner, taking the pokeballs with her and disappeared through a door to the right. Misery loves my company by Three Days Grace began playing.

I gave a quiet sigh closing my eyes for a moment, then looked to the computer area. "Alrighty then, hiho hiho to the computer I go." I said somewhat quietly as I then walked over to the waiting area. I got up to the computers, then chose one closer to the wall, though noted the comfortable looking swivel chair in front of the computer. Huh, nice looking swivel. I thought then took off my pack, setting it beside me leaning up against the chair next to me, then I took a seat, resting my weary legs. I smiled as I let my shoulders sag as I leaned back on the very soft chair. "Oh my god, this is about twenty times better then my chair..." I said quietly, enjoying the feeling. I then looked at the computer, It looked like one of those models of computers that has the tower built in with the screen. Well then, one of those types.

At the top of the screen built in the plastic edging was a cam for vid chats. "Oh awesome." Psycho commented noticing it. "I wonder if it has skype." Psycho said curious. Let's find out. I thought as I booted up the computer, which only took a few moments to boot up and finish. It presented a grassy plain with a mountain range background. Not bad background. I thought then looked at the icons on the screen. Almost if not all didn't look familiar. Though, I spotted what looked like the icon for chrome. Alright, shits and giggles time. I thought as I double clicked the icon, then was presented with, non-other then google. Well, a slight variation. I wonder... I looked at the top right of the google screen to see the things you'd see, including that little 3x3 grid. I clicked on it to see now familiar icons, which I clicked what looked like gplus, again. Slightly different.

And the curiosity continues... I thought as I went into the sign in portion. After I logged in, moments later I get a message...several. Three Hangouts tabs pop up one from each person in my friend group. Two actually voicing there concern, except the third which was Ryan...I actually expected. I made a group chat and invited them, which they joined moments later, then I enabled the vid chat feature, upon doing so, the other three turned on there laptop cams to themselves as I did.

The first one to speak was Tristan. "Um...where the fuck are you?" He asked immediately curious.

"Well, I'm in a pokemon center in Snowbelle city..." I replied. Ryan then made his comment deciding to be an ass.

"So did you get your ass kicked yet?" My smile that I had died at that moment to be replaced with a look of large irritation with my right eye twitching slightly.

"Ryan, I'm not in the mood for your shit, I just fucking got here asshole! And if you remember last night-" I began with a slowly growing anger in my tone as the volume of my voice grew. "I was stuck in a fucking cave with a fucking blizzard screaming just outside you inconsiderate fuck!" I continued venom edging my voice. Then the song Could this be by Noisia played quietly.

Jordan and Tristan were actually stunned by my small moment of rage to Ryan. "Oh wait that's right." I said sarcastically, putting my hand on my chin and making a deep thought like pose while looking off the side and looking at the ceiling, then quickly looked back at the camera with anger in my eyes as I leaned forward straighten my posture in the span of four seconds. "By your own words YOU'D ENJOY SEEING ME FLAIL!-" I continued my voice raising more. "YOU BIPOLAR JACKASS COCKWEISLE!" I said rather loudly, finished ranting. Ryan was going to speak again before I cut him off. "And don't even bring up that dumbass salt phrase." I said a deadly evenness to my voice, actually surprisingly and effectively silencing him. Ryan then typed up something though not sending it to the main chat. "Ryan, for once I'm saying it's not going to be a good idea to be an ass right now. And that's saying something coming from me." Tristan said.

"Well then..." Jordan simply said.

There was a few long moments of silence between the four of us, until Tristan decided to talk again. "So, what pokemon did you get so far?" He asked curious, and trying to break the tension.

"Well, currently a Snivy and a Zorua." I answered calming down a degree.

"Did you name them at all?"

"Yeah, Nesia and Elora respectfully. Plus I might be getting a third." I said slash noted.

"What makes you say that?" He asked wondering.

"A shiny Ralts I saved from the blizzard last night." I explained sort of flatly.

"You're shitting me." Tristan said somewhat surprised.

"Yeah, I have a few names in mind for her." I mentioned, then looked at the front desk for a moment to see nothing then looked back at the screen.

"Huh, interesting." Jordan noted.

"Very." Was my simple reply to his comment.

A few moments later the Nurse came out with my pokemon and the Ralts. At which I looked over after hearing the door to the room close. I looked back at the screen. "I'll be back." I said sitting up and began making my way to Nurse Joy. Then the song Falling away from me by Korn began to play quietly as I walked to the Nurse.

"Your pokemon and Ralts are in good condition." She said with a smile.

"Sweet." I said with a lining of pleasantness to my tone, then looked at the three my mood being now much calmer and smiled at the three, which in turn my two pokemon smiling back, then the Nurse caught my attention.

"And something to note. This Ralts doesn't have a trainer, which seems she was released." The blue haired Nurse added, my smile going back to a mute look though the rest of my face showing my surprise'll as my brows rose and eyes widening. "Now that's surprising!" Psycho noted very surprised considering the rarity of a Ralts and further upon it being a shiny. "That kind of thing with a shiny Ralts don't happen! Who would release a shiny Ralts! I mean really now! Really! Who!" Vlad said incredulously, very surprised at the thought and more so seeing that thought is in fruition standing before us on the counter.

"Reeaally?" I said slash thought aloud. Then the Ralts began to look somber as it began to hang her head in sadness at which my two pokemon looked at her with sympathy, sense I'm an empath, though not a strong one to the sense, I could feel a small wave of her sadness after which my features softened as I looked back at the Ralts. "Since this Ralts was a trainers pokemon, you could adopt her if you would like." Nurse Joy added spurring a thought. Should we? I mentally asked my voices.

"Fuck it! Let's take her with us! I don't like seeing a sad girl regardless if she's a human or pokemon! And you know it." Psycho said voicing his thought with a sense of potential joy if I chose to take the Ralts with me.

"I'm with Psych, never liked the look of a saddened girl, movies I don't really care, stories, possible. But in person, just makes me feel bad. Hell, all of us can agree we like the little bugger. Why the hell not?" Vlad said, which to his argument to the subject. I couldn't really deny it.

"Can she come with us master Will?" Elora asked looking up at me with a slight somber glint in her eyes.

"Snivy sni snivy?" Nesia asked along the lines with Elora.

"...please...I don't want to stay here...I don't want to be alone...not again." The Ralts said in my mind, her voice laced with anguish. Which I'm not going to lie, it broke my heart a bit, which is actually kind of difficult. So I couldn't resist. Then the song Ghost by Mystery Skulls began it's round adding a happy mood to the moment.

Fuck it, it's unanimis. I thought, then lowered myself a little bit to be more height level to her, then I gave a warm smile. "Alright...do you want to come with me on my bound to be messed up journey, to who knows where?" I asked with a reassuring nature to my tone. The Ralts stood there for a moment almost looking dazed at my answer, then she made a smile that could melt the hearts of most people I know. There's a smile that just warms the heart I thought as my own melted a little. Both Elora and Nesia smiled wide and actually hugged the Ralts in happiness. Which from what I saw on the Ralts face, she actually enjoyed the moment. I could of swore I saw a small tear trail down her face as she smiled.

"You my friend, have just made a girl's day today." Vlad stated in a note of joyfulness.

"Alrighty then." I said taking my pack off and fished out a ball, getting familiar with some of the placement of the items in my pack, then pulled out a luxury ball as Nesia and Elora let go of our to be newest member to the group. Still questioning this shit with me just finding just these fucking luxury balls. I thought humorously as I got the ball out, and held it a foot away from her. "Want the honer's or shall I?" I asked. She smiled and pressed the button on the ball and was energized into the ball followed by a ping sound from the ball a moment later, after that I let her back out. When Ralts materialized from out of the ball, she looked up at me with a smile. I then looked back up to the Nurse. "Thanks." I said.

"I'm always happy to help." Joy replied in a cheerful tone, then I looked back down to my pokemon. "Alright, there's a few friends I'd like to introduce you three to." I said, all they made a look of curiousness.

"Are they from your realm?" Elora asked.

"Yeah." I said plainly, then Nesia went about clambering back onto my shoulders, which only took a few moments. "You really love being on my shoulders, do you?" I asked Nesia in a humorous tone and a smile. "Sni." She replied with a smile and a small nuzzle, at which I did a silent chuckle. "Elora, Ralts? You two just want to walk around for a bit?" I asked the two, Ralts nodded.

"Sure." Elora replied then hopped down from the counter, afterwards I helped the Ralts down to the floor. "I'll be over by the computers if you two plan to explore." I said gesturing to the area I was going to be at. Next the song Empty eyes by Olive Musique began playing as I turned it up two notches, filling the small area with a somewhat sad sounding play of piano.

They both gave their okay and I made my way back to the computers but both Elora and Ralts followed shortly after. I got to my computer and sat down in the chair. "I'm back." I announced to my friends. After saying that Elora lept up to my lap with Ralts looking up at me holding up her arms like a little kid. "Ral ralts?" She asked wanting help up, which I looked at her. "Alright just a sec." I said then picked her up, I then turned my attention back to the computer.

"Alright, Jordan, Tristan. This is Nesia." I said pointing to her, which in turn she smiled and said a hello. Then pointed to Elora. "Then this is Elora." I continued which Elora did the same a Nesia. "And finally, the newest member of the group." I said gesturing to the Ralts.

"...hi." Tristan said slowly.

"Oh bugger, forgot the naming bit." I said then thought for a moment, then raised my brows at an idea for an name off of a game I've been playing. "How does Keldra sound to you?" I said to the Ralts. She mulled it over for a few moments. "Ralts ral." She replied which I smiled. "Alrighty then."

"What did it say?" Jordan asked.

"Well, she said she liked the name. Oh that's right." I said looking back up at the screen. "Somehow I can understand pokemon."

"How!" Tristan asked actually surprised as Jordan gave a confused look.

"That was my thought when I popped in to this damn realm!" I replied, still not knowing causing Keldra to look at me now curious.

"So...you can somehow understand pokemon, that's...that's interesting." Jordan said not knowing really what to say about that.

"Yeah. About day and a quarter in, I get a Snivy, then getting saved by said Snivy from almost getting decapitated, then save a Zorua from a pissed off Trevenant, then avoided a blizzard then later that night, save a Ralts from it. Then make my way here the next fucking day. Sooo yeeeaaahhh, I think I had an eventful two days so far." I stated with a note of sarcastic humor though with a chuckle at the end.

"Yeah." Jordan said with a chuckle agreeing.

"That does sound like a productive day." Tristan added agreeing as well.

"On top of that, haven't even met a single person till I got to the pokemon center." I added.

"Bullshit." Ryan finally commented.

"Dude. Why would I bullshit about this? Really? Why would I have a need to bullshit about that right now?" I asked a little irritated.

"...Point." Ryan said begrudgingly.

"Yeah..." I said, which Elora and Nesia looked at me.

"Snivy sni sniv sni?" Nesia asked seeing if Ryan is normally in this mood.

"Yes, he can be mean on a decent portion of the time when it comes to some subjects." I explained a note of irritation in my voice. A somber look starting to cross Ryan's face.

"Ryan, granted I am sorry on saying some of the things I did. But you can reaally be dickish. And I'm saying that nicely." I explained to him narrowing my eyes slightly.

Keldra then looked at Elora. "Ralts ral ralt ralts? [Is his conversations normally like this?]" She asked Elora. "Zo zoru zorua zoru zorua zo. [No, but I think he'd prefer if you didn't try to press him on it.]" Elora responded.

Keldra thought about it for a few moments then nodded, thinking of maybe asking some other day.

"let's change the subject. Like how the hell are you getting back?" Jordan asked trying to steer the argument.

"Das ist good question..." I said not knowing at all

Then Nurse Joy turned on one of the tv's turning it to the weather channel, showing a anchorwoman. "Hello, I'm Cassie Bennett of SBNN." The anchorwoman droned as I talked to my friend group explaining my story to Jordan and Tristan of how I woke up in this yesterday and how I acquired my three pokemon. Then the song Metro last light Rap by danbull and Miracle of sound began to play.

"I was still questioning why I was doing this, going out in a fucking blizzard in reasons I didn't even bloody know! So as I was instructed by the voice of a little girl, I found to be Keldra. The only indication of her I found in the snow was some of her hair and one of her horns sticking out of the snow." I continued on with my explanation as Keldra as she looked up to me. "Ral ralts ralt." She said thanking me for saving her from that blizzard. At which I looked down sporting a small smirk and nod, intending it as kind of saying "your welcome" then looked back up the screen. "After that, I picked her up and put her in my coat, which I'm still wearing-" I said before Tristan interrupted me.

"Hold up. Your saying you were in a blizzard. In that." He said pointing at the cam on his end as emphasis on his skepticism. "I'm not bullshitting. I didn't have any winter attire."

"How!? In the temperature range you should of died of hyperthermia!" He said unconvinced.

"Seriously? How the hell did you get there without becoming a Willcicle?" Jordan asked making a pun with his question.

"Ha ha. Funny." I said not that amused of the pun. "But in all seriousness. Me, Vlad and Psycho concluded that my clothes and coat became temp prof and wind resistant and possibly water resistant, somehow with exception to my shirt." I said.

"The urge to call bullshit is so high right now." Ryan said not very convinced.

"Refer to my earlier comment about why I would bullshit about this." I deadpanned, irritated by the comment with a irritated look.

"You know, I was wondering why you weren't cold." Elora commented her curiosity sated for the time being. I then looked at Elora. "You were wondering that too?"

"It did seem odd at the time." She admitted. I looked back up at the screen. "What did your Zorua say?" Tristan wondered.

"She was wondering how I was not cold at the time through the mountain pass." I explained. You're going down Sick puppies started it's round as me and my friends continued to talk.

"Ah."

"Yeah. I'm still questioning how my clothes are like this." I commented. Then my attention was ripped from the screen upon hearing what was going on from the news channel. "It looks like there is going to be another blizzard coming in from the west. So every one watching or listening. It'll be wise to prepare in the next two hours." The anchorwoman warned. ".....Fuck..." I sighed turning back to the screen.

"What?" Jordan asked curious.

"Remember that blizzard I was talking about? Guess what's coming to fucking visit..." I said irritatedly, while pinching the bridge of my nose.

"Snniiiiiivvvyyyyy..." Nesia said a little saddened and about as irritated as I am. I then looked at Nesia, then lightly scratched her head in a reassuring and somewhat affectionate manner. "At least we'll be in something warm in the center, then sleeping in that cave." I said somewhat optimistic.

"Lovely." Tristan commented.

"Indeed..." I agreed turning my attention back to the screen as Elora laid down on my lap, laying her head as well, I then began scratching behind her right ear like I would a cat or dog semi absent mindedly. At which she began to lightly lean her head against my hand enjoying the feeling.

I then looked at the clock on the bottom right corner of the screen. ...hm...3:35 pm. I thought as I mentally sighed heavily. This is just going to be the first calm bit of this shitstorm. I thought not very hopeful, as per usual never having a lot of hope. "How much do you want to bet at the end of all this and we have a way to get back, that it's going to be one of those scenes in one of those movies that when we finally have the opportunity. We dick it over and choose to stay in this world with the pokemon?" Psycho said slash speculated.

You know Psycho...I actually wouldn't be surprised. Just hope I don't have to pull a shepherd. I thought semi humorously, lightly referencing a certian scifi game trilogy.

"Here's hoping." Psycho said as he made a image of him in my mind with a raised glass.

"Too hoping my friends." Vlad said doing the same thing Psycho did, with Psycho with a smile, and Vlad with a solemn friendly smirk holding a glass of his own. Then I imagined myself in front of the two, having the three of us in a circle of sorts with a raised glass of mth dew Voltage. On forth to the realms of hope and prosperity.

"To hoping and living."

"TO hoping! And to all the fun and stupid shit we'll do! And Finally to the Pleasures too soon cometh to us! " Psycho finished as we toasted to my hopeful survival of impending hells and the good times to come.

Little did I know, Keldra was quietly listening. "Is he really not of this world?" She mentally questioned herself. "And who were the other two? Are they other psychics?"

"Wait a sec..." Psycho said suddenly leery.

"What is it Psycho?" Vlad asked. Psycho didn't answer for a few long moments.

"Thought I felt something peering in......it must be nothing." Psycho said passing the odd feeling off.

"That was close..." Keldra thought, not knowing what trouble she'll get into if she was caught peering into my mind without permission. "I shouldn't look in his mind more, until I get the okay from him."

"Well, looks like I'm going to spend a day and night here and maybe another day or two if it's really feeling like a dick." I noted as I pulled up a weather site of this area. Then from Three Days Grace played Break as I looked.

"Well then." Ryan said.

"Yeah, not looking pretty."

I wonder... I thought curious. I opened a new tab and tried typing in youtube in the search. ...Poketube...really? I mentally deadpanned as I clicked into the site, which I was automatically logged in, and was presented with my account on youtube. "Sweet." I said somewhat quietly, Nesia gave a curious look to the screen.

"Huh?" Jordan said, a little curious.

"They even have their own version of youtube." I stated with a note of interest.

"Cool." Tristan said.

"And it's actually called poketube." I noted.

"Well then, original." Tristan said, somewhat amused by the name of the site.

"Indeed." I said a little amused myself. "Welp...got my entertainment for the next few days." I noted as well.

"That's good." Jordan said.

"Very." I said as I went back to the weather page and read on, continuing to analyze the information presented to me to the best of my ability.

"Bloody lovely...it's a nasty one coming here." I mentioned as I looked through the page.

"Oh that's just lovely." Jordan commented.

"Yeah..." I commented back. "Yeah, I'm staying a night or three....or ten" I noted, then looked behind me to the window and noticed the quickened snowfall, with said snowfall beginning to move rapidly from the wind, then I turned back. "Yep, about two nights and days. Three at the latest." I said theorising.

"Snivy sni?" Nesia asked, wondering if it's actually going to be that bad.

"Yeah, by the looks of the charts and graphs here it's going to be that bad it seems." I noted as well.

"Well that's just great. At least you're in a place where you have a computer and a bed." Jordan said being optimistic about my situation.

"At least." I said then lowered my head a bit and shook it side to side lightly. "God I don't want to spend another night in a cave..." I said in a note of dread, which a moment later Nesia gave me a light nuzzle. At that I turned my head slightly as I looked at her with an appreciative smile.
