Welcome/Welcome back, you crazy diamonds!

[spiritcrystal]

[An island! This is most certainly not where everyone was just a few moments ago. ...Alright, maybe some of you were on an island. Don't get cheeky.

At everyone's feet is a small note. It gives no description of their location or explanation, of course; it only says one simple thing.

Please choose one.

The note comes along with three Pokéballs with different "starter" Pokémon in them- the three Pokémon can be anything, from a Froakie, Charmander, and Treecko to a Rattata, Patrat, and Bidoof if you're particularly unlucky- and everything in between. If it's not a legendary Pokémon, it's fair game.

Of course, you can only pick one! Trying to go for a second will leave you thinking that you better not get too greedy. If you're one of those types that wouldn't care either way, the other two Pokéballs will simply disappear.

Now go forth, and into a world of Pokémon!]

[Greninja bows his head towards her slightly, and Serena smiles. New places, new faces. She might as well be a little friendly.]

Greninja. It's a Pokémon native to the beautiful Kalos region, and its speed is second to none.

[She's very proud.]

Greninja? Kalos - Is that a place in Unova? [Headtilt. As far as this airhead knows, they sound Unovan enough to be linked there.] Even gallops?

[Great start Fumiko. You're going to confuse everyone. Maybe someone can teach you the 'English/Ranger' names for pokemon. Eventually. Though, as far as she knows, rapidashes are the fastest things ever.] My Ponpon is very fast so I think he could beat yours.

[..Maybe. It might end up a tie, who knows.]

[Gallops... Serena wracks her brain for something similarly named, or something that could go with it... Rapidash, maybe? Ponyta?]

Kalos is a region all its own, though we've had gifts and other correspondences with Unova over the centuries. [There's statues of Reshiram and Zekrom in Parfum Palace's gardens, if she remembers Shauna telling her right.] I'm not so sure he could. Greninja's even quicker than Absol's Mega Evolved form, who excels in speed..

[Base stat comparisons are great.]
