[So, Misty was just getting back to the Cerulean Gym, presiding over as the Gym Leader. She had battled a few trainers before stopping for the night and sleeping.

Then she ended up here... wherever that was. Well, time to use the Vine... whatever that was too! A young red-haired girl appears on the mirror, back in her regular clothes with her backpack, an Azurill cradled in one arm, and her pink Pokegear in the other, which she quickly turns off with a sigh.]

I can't get in touch with my sisters... They'll never be able to take care of the gym without me!

[Turns attention towards mirror, still vaguely irritated.]

Hey, a weird-looking Meowth gave me something that told me this would help me. First of all, can anyone tell me where I am right now? I need to get back to Cerulean City!

--Oh! What a cute Azurill! I'm sorry to say, dear, but you're very far from Kanto.

[Her Azurill smiles and lets a tiny "rill~" at the compliment and Misty's resulting happiness.]

Aw, thanks! I got it-

Wait, how far is very far? What region am I in?!

[video]

[garchampion.livejournal.com]

You are not in any region, but a different world entirely.

[bel-donna.livejournal.com]

Sadly, you won't be going home for awhile...

[cascadetomboy.livejournal.com]

What? Why can't I?!

[bel-donna.livejournal.com]

You've been transported from your own world to this place, which is called "the garden". You can't leave once your here...

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

You look a little bit young to be taking care of a gym.

And that was a cat.

[If she was from a earlier point, she would have so puffed her cheeks out in anger.]

I might be young, but people younger than me have run Gyms just fine!

... What's a cat? I've never heard of that type of Pokémon before.

[video]

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Isn't it hard?

A cat is a small feline creature that gave you a scroll. What's a Pokémon?

[sighs]

This place gets weirder and weirder.

[video]

[cascadetomboy.livejournal.com]

Does that mean you know what this place is?

[video]

[pluckmygstring.livejournal.com]

I've yet to get a straight answer. We're in some sort of garden ruled by some sort of queen. From there I have no idea.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

[ Ignoring the strange creature. ]

Er... I've never even heard of Cerulean City, and you're nowhere near it... so...

Sorry but you're kinda stuck.

[cascadetomboy.livejournal.com]

Why do people keep on telling me I'm stuck? I don't get how I can't go back.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

We've walked in every direction, and you can't go past the boundaries - at least safely. People have tried flying, too, and there's some kind of invisible barrier.

They usually just call this place the Gardens. It's pretty far away from any cities, I think.

[A smile, then a pause. Because bawww that Azurill!] What kind of animal is that? It's really cute.

[cascadetomboy.livejournal.com]

I think I'm starting to get that part of it. Thank you.

[D'aww smiles happily at that remark, and her Azurill emulates the smile.] Aw, thanks! It's an Azurill!

[ofthepromise.livejournal.com]

Sorry I can't be more informative. No one knows much about the hows and whys, really. [She smiles.] I'm Serah, though.

... An Azurill? [She's never heard of it, but she waves a little at the Azurill just because.] Hey there.

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

Impressive, you managed the by far worst introduction to this place. Congratulations.

[cascadetomboy.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not really looking for a good introduction! I want to figure out what's going on and how to get out of here.

... I'm starting to see the "getting out" part might be impossible.

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

Yep, it's impossible alright. If you ever meet the queen, tell us where she is, though. A couple people want to have a talk with her.

And by talk we mean battle.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

It's called the Gardens.

Welcome to this parallel universe. You may wish to get comfortable.

[video]

[cascadetomboy.livejournal.com]

That's what I've been hearing. Thanks for the welcome?

[video]

[catflavoured.livejournal.com]

Weird looking what? You're holding a weird looking something.

But anyway, you can't go anywhere that isn't here.

[video]

[cascadetomboy.livejournal.com]

Azurill isn't weird!

That's what people have been telling me so far.
