((OOC: I hope this is okay, if there are any issues or anything i need to improve for next time please let me know =] ))
Bryan slowly woke up after sleeping for what felt like forever. His mind was in a daze, he could feel a blanket of grass beneath, and was enjoying the breeze that occasionally blew to cool him off from the sun, which up overhead. Then all of a sudden he sat up and looked around frantically and pat at his sides. His memory came to him in that instant, and the last thing he could remember was facing off singled handedly against Team Rocket in a Canyon. Looking at his strange new scenery all around him. He also realized that he had something on his head, some sort of helmet or mask that was covering his head and face. It wasn’t until he tried taking it off that he realized that it must have been glued on, "Great...." he muttered to himself. Looking down, Bryan tried to find his pokeballs, but couldn't, and what was more, his hands ....weren't his hands.... Jumping up, Bryan tried looking at himself the best he could, but it was hard to due to the panic that was slowly increasing inside of him. HE tried his best to keep calm. Looking around, he saw a Lake not to far away, Jumping up, he started heading towards it, but tripped over something. After getting up again, he looked down, and saw what appeared to be an oversized Bone Club, like one a Marowak, or maybe even a Cubone would use. Bryan decided to pick it up with his strange new hands and tried to find the pokemon it belonged to. Once he got over to the lake, he slowly looked out and over the water to see his reflection. He jumped after seeing what was looking back at him. "What's going on?? " Bryan asked out loud, and a bit louder than needed. He couldn't help but to sit down and do his best to fight the tears that were quickly coming as he felt the full weight of his situation.

It was in the afternoon when Bryan woke up in Tunican field and it seemed like Pokemon were buzzing all around him. None of them seemed to take too much notice of the Cubone or his strange actions. The weather was nice and everyone was busy minding their own business. Bug and Grass-types seemed to make up most of the population of Tunican field, along with the occasional appearance of Flying and Normal-types. Magikarp and Goldeen could be seen swimming in the deeper parts of the small lake that Bryan was sitting by. There were also a few groups of Marill that swam closer to the surface every once in awhile. The scenery was beautiful. All the Pokemon in the area seemed to be living in complete peace and happiness. Except for poor Bryan.
"Tunican Field is the first place I'd take them..." A voice could be heard coming from somewhere behind Bryan. "This would be a great place to start." A second voice answered the first. A Paras walked over to the edge of the lake and stood almost right next to Bryan. His eyes seemed to be glowing with admiration as he stared at the lake, apparently not noticing the Cubone right next to him. A Cascoon hobbled over, keeping up with the Paras as best as he could, and appeared next to Bryan. "The lake is prettier then usual today." The Cascoon said, revealing himself to be the owner of the second voice. Although they were both standing next to Bryan now, neither of them noticed him. They just kept staring at the lake.

After a few moments, Bryan finally was able to regain his composure. He normally wasn't like this, but having found himself in such a foreign set of circumstances he couldn't help himself. He wasn't normally one to cry, and now definitely wasn't the time for such a thing. Having been overwhelmed by what had happened to him, he wasn't able to notice the pokemon that were around him in the field, and especially not the Paras and the Cascoon that had come up behind him. "The Lake is prettier than usual today." Bryan jumped a bit having heard another voice. He turned to see who had spoken and was even more surprised to see that it had come from another pokemon! Bryan stared at the Paras for a moment in disbelief, awestruck by the fact that a pokemon was able to speak human language. After what seemed like forever, Bryan shook his head a bit and asked, timidly, “Uh,....Excuse me, but where is here? Are we.... still even in the Johto region?" He asked while standing up to his feet, wondering what exactly was going on...

The Paras was still entranced by the lake but after a moment, his Cascoon companion seemed to finally notice the Cubone that was standing between them. He turned stiffly towards Bryan and stared at him. Being that he was a Cascoon, his moves were growing slow and deliberate as the days went by. But he still managed to move over a little bit so that he could see the Paras. "Pssst. Psssssst. Hey, Manny. There's a Cubone here..." He was whispering, but Bryan was still going to be able to hear everything they were saying. It wasn't like his skull didn't have holes for the ears underneath to hear out of.
"What?" Manny the Paras turned and looked at Bryan. "What's a Cubone doing here? Cubone don't live in Tunican field...or any field, actually." He was talking as though Bryan still wasn't there. "They could live in fields if they wanted to, couldn't they?" The Cascoon asked. "Suuure. But they wouldn't. " He nodded decidedly. When the two heard Bryan's question, they were both baffled. They had never heard of the Jhoto region before? "What? No...you're on Tunican island. The smallest island in the dimension. And on that island, you are currently standing in Tunican Field." Paras answered.

Bryan looked at the two pokemon, still amazed that they were able to speak English so well. "I'm actually not a Cubone, At least i haven't always been. You see, i come from a place known as the Johto region, though how i got here is not clear to me. And my name is Bryan, by the way" Bryan said as he scratched his head and did his best to remember what had happened to cause him to arrive in such an odd place. He tried his best to remember but his memories weren't all that clear. Bryan took a moment to look around as he continued to think and scratch his head, then finally shrugged and faced Paras again, “I guess I'm here until i can find out how to get back home. For all i know, this could just be a dream, or maybe . . . . . “ Bryan trailed off, and then noticed his stomach started grumbling. Giving a bit of a chuckle, Bryan grinned a bit and said, “So do you know where i can get something to eat around here?"

Manny and the Cascoon had no idea what they were getting themselves into when they decided to talk to Bryan. It was all they could do to just stand there and nod. Manny tried to pretend like he wasn't confused, but Cascoon didn't bother hiding it. Neither of them had any idea what Bryan was talking about. If he wasn't actually a Cubone, what was he? A Ditto? "Well, of course you weren't always a Cubone!" Manny started to laugh. He seemed to think Bryan was joking. Cascoon started to laugh too. "Yeah, of course not. Everyone is an egg before they're bone. Manny, this guy has a great sense of humor."
There was a long period of silence after the Cascoon's laughter. Manny didn't think that was the joke Bryan was trying to pass on, and the Cascoon didn't understand why he didn't get it. "Kenko...I don't think you get it. " Manny said, finally revealing the Cascoon's name. Kenko frowned and looked over at Bryan. Now the Cubone was going on about the "Jhoto Region". That didn't make sense either. There wasn't a place in all of the second dimension known as the "Jhoto Region". When Bryan started to talk about getting back home and dreaming, Manny and Kenko figured that was the most sane thing they've heard him say so far.
"Getting back home should be easy! Where do you live?" Kenko asked, choosing not acknowledge the fact that Bryan was basically claiming not to be from this dimension. "We could probably find some berries for you on your way home." Manny added.

Bryan took a moment to think everything over and said, with a frustrated sigh, "Well all i can figure is that i have come here from somewhere else. Probably somewhere very far away, maybe even from another realm or dimension. I suppose if i am going to sort this all out i will have to talk to someone a bit wiser who might under this sort of thing." Bryan had said, but he was more thinking out loud than anything. Turning to Paras and Cascoon, he asked, "Do you know if there is a city nearby, or somewhere i can find a wiser pokemon or being who might be able to help me figure this out?." As he asked this, his stomach starting to rumble again. Noticing a nearby apple tree he turned his attention to it, and, picking up his bone club he tested the weight of it before thing, 'I've seen Cubone and Marowak do this before, it can't be that hard . . . . Right?'. Bryan attempted to throw his club at the tree, in attempt to knock down the fruit. Taking a deep breath, he threw the club with a grunt, and watched it soar, not towards the tree but straight forward and fell down on the grass a few feet in front of him.

No matter what the two Pokemon told him, the Cubone seemed to be dead set on rambling about crazy things. Now he was saying that he must be from another dimension, or realm. This was the stuff of science fiction. At this rate, neither Manny nor Kenko were going to know what to do with him. Bryan wouldn't tell him where he lived and acted like he didn't want to go home anyhow. "You mean...like a Legendary Pokemon?" Kenko asked when Bryan mentioned higher beings. But Manny shook his head. "There aren't any "higher beings" Bryan. Even Legendary Pokemon are still Pokemon..." He stopped to think for a minute. "Unless you count the creator. Rumor has it, he's a Pokemon too. But he's the closest thing to a "higher being" that we have." Manny added.
They didn't know where the Creator was though. Hardly anybody did. There were a few ways to come in contact with the Creator, or at least that was the rumor, but hardly anyone knew how. "The nearest place is Tyric Town. It's a small place, but maybe somebody can help you there. You just have to follow a path to get there..." Kenko stiffly turned to look at a nearby path. The path leading to Tyric Town was the thickest, and best made in the whole field. It wouldn't be hard to follow it.

Bryan looked at the two pokemon, and could tell they obviously did not understand much, if at all of what he was saying. He considered for a moment trying to explain to them further about the idea of other dimensions, or realms. He decided against it, and figured that his time was better spent trying to find another wiser pokemon who could help him sort things out. That was of course, after he could get something to eat. Walking over to the apple tree he looked at it for a moment, then looked at his hands and then back at the tree. 'Climbing a tree can't be that much harder as a pokemon can it?' Bryan thought as he set down his bone club and recalled the time he would spend climbing trees as a human, even spending the night in them if needed. Giving a short leap, Bryan jumped up and grabbed the tree and was able to hold on. He tried using his legs could get up higher, but all he ended up doing was flailing his legs and then finally falling to on his butt. After getting back up and brushing himself off, Bryan realized that climbing up a tree wasn't as easy now that he was much smaller. Picking up the Bone Club, Bryan decided to toss it straight up into the air and knock down apples. After getting several down from the tree, Bryan grabbed the closest on to him and ate it. As he finished, he looked at the others and made a realization, after looking around for a minute, Bryan reached down and started pulling handfuls of grass and weaving them together. Surviving like this wasn't anything new to Bryan, Not only had he spent a great deal of time in the wild Between Gym Battles; but as a Pokemon Ranger, he had made his fair share of enemies and spent plenty of time avoiding them. After a few moments, he had finished his weaving and now had a pouch he could store his Bone Club and any other items he wasn't able to carry, given his small arms and even smaller hands. Bryan put it over his shoulder to make sure it was alright, then put the rest of the apples along with his Bone Club. He turned and headed down the road that lead to Tyric Town. He waved to Manny and Kenke and left to his next destination and ultimately home.

"What is he doing...?" Kenko whispered as he watched Bryan mess around with the apple tree. It looked like he was trying to climb it, but he was going about it the wrong way. 'I could climb a tree...I wonder what's wrong with him...' Meanwhile, Manny didn't even bother answering his friend. Bryan was amusing him beyond all reasonable belief. He would have felt sorry for the Cubone, if it wasn't for the fact that the way he was trying to climb looked so darn funny. "You're going about it all wrong!"He laughed when Bryan fell on his butt. Kenko looked up at the apples in the tree. "I could get you an apple Bryan, but it would take me forever...why don't you use your..." He trailed off as he watched Bryan take out his bone club.
It took a few tosses with the bone club, but Bryan did eventually manage to get a good number of apples down from the tree. All of the apples that fell from the tree where normal. In other words, they weren't Energy Apples. That would be way too easy. "What? What are you giving me that face for?" Manny asked him when Bryan looked up at the two. "Now what are you doing?" Manny spoke again when he saw Bryan trying to make something out of grass. This Pokemon full of energy. And possibly full of crazy to go with it. But he did know how to make stuff, apparently, because he had a bag made out of grass before either of them knew it. "I didn't know you could make a bag out of grass..." Kenko said. The two Pokemon just stared on, dumbfounded as Bryan waved goodbye to them.
Bryan had managed to leave the first two Pokemon he had ever met in Dimension Number 2 in the dust. But it was still going to take some walking before he could get to Tyric Town. The path wasn't too long and everything seemed peaceful. A few Pokemon, a Pachirisu and Shinx, could even be seen walking ahead. They were going in Bryan's direction, which meant they had probably just left Tyric Town.
