"Nick... where are you."
"....where am I?"

Maya Fey looked quite unintimidating, reservedly wandering from street corner to street corner trying to figure out where in the world she was. It seemed like everywhere the Medium looked there was something strange to behold: From a tiny mushroom person in a diaper playing the guitar or weird animal people shopping at what seemed to be a mall of sorts, there were even robots that looked like people walking about! It was like she had just been dropped into some sort of cartoon land or something!

"Even for me this is weird."
Her eyes wandered along the concrete as a large dragon or something to that regard sped by above the rooftops.
"Super cool! ...but still weird."

[Coolshaymin]

"Hey! Watch where you are walking! Some Pokemon are trying to sleep you know!" A feminine voice suddenly penetrated Maya's mind. Shaymin, the Gratitude Pokemon, was talking a nap in the middle of the walkway... What? She liked sunbathing and did not exactly take her small size into account. After a second though she noticed something... This human felt rather... odd...

"... I have not seen anyone like you before... Why do you feel like a... Psychic type? Ghost type? But you look human..." Shaymin was confused for a moment until she recalled something she heard. "... Oh you must be one of those ghost type channelers... That would explain the funny necklace..." Shaymin deduced still not considering explaining her just telepathically speaking to someone out of nowhere.

[Blade Unlimited]

"Oh, I'm so-"
"..."

"W-W-WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!?"
"I-Is somebody talking to me in my head?!"
"Who-I mean what-I mean where are you!?"

Eye darting back and forth frantically trying to locate this mystery talker, she could barely even comprehend the words that Shaymin had uttered into her head. "Pokemon? Ghost Type?" None of these words made any sense besides the last, was this some kind of foreign language? ...more importantly though why was something in her head besides her! ...Was she going crazy?!

"...Hey! Who's necklace are you calling funny!"
"S-Show yourself!"

[Coolshaymin]

"..." Huh, no one has reacted to her telepathy like that before. They usually take it very normally. Still, she was not very perceptive for a channeller... "... Have you tried looking down yet?" Shaymin asked while looking up at the... rather odd girl.

"I guess I just don't know human taste very well... Looks kind of tacky if you ask me. As for why I am talking to your head... Thoughts are easier to translate than Pokespeak," the hedgehog explains. Thoughts were kind of like a universal language really. Was the only way the Pokemon was able to communicate with other species.

[Blade Unlimited]

"Oh Uh... I'm sorry?"
"I-I didn't see you there... Are you a porcupine?"

"...Wait, is it weird I'm talking out loud still? Should I be thinking stuff to you... can you read my thoughts before I say them? Does that mean its like I'm saying things twice to you?" Kneeling down slightly to get on the same level as the grass Pokemon, Maya let out a small chuckle before peering at the creature. It was so small... and plant-y. It looked like some sort of tiny hamster bush with flowers, or maybe a mutated flower pot was absorbed by a toxic waste monster! Well either way, this cute little thing was certainly strange, but then who was she to judge in a place like this. "Well anyway, my name's Maya. What's your name?" Who knows, maybe this little Plantimal (NAME EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY; TRADEMARK COPYRIGHT MAYA) could shed some light on the fantasy land they were standing in at the moment?

"I don't suppose you could tell me where I am exactly? I'm a little lost."

[Coolshaymin]

"... No, speaking out loud is fine. Reading minds is something I prefer not to try. It's a kind of invasion of privacy worst than most other cases. Just sending my thoughts is much less intrusive," Shaymin explained to the girl as she bombarded her with questions.

"And who are you calling a porcupine?! I am the great and powerful Pokemon known as Shaymin! I am said to be a bit of a myth but I bring Gratitude wherever I go... Also the death of pollution but that is not working so well right now..." the Pokemon explained to the girl rather proudly... Even though she followed Gratitude like a magnet more than creating it.

"Oh, you must of just got here, huh? Well, let me start by saying this is the Life Sphere. The only town on this planet with fresh air and you are probably not on your own right now. A lot of worlds have been ending up here and it looks like you are now one of them," she followed up.

[Blade Unlimited]

"Hm..."
"Doesn't it detract from calling yourself a
myth if you're right in front of me though?"

"Though I can't say I've ever heard of Pokey-Mon before."
"Can all of you read minds?"

The girl posed in thought, still trying to process all that the small "Pokemon" had told her, albeit at a more passive rate this time. Can you really blame her? For all she knew she could just be knocked out or in a coma or something! Or maybe this was all Nick's doing trying to get back at her for taking his curly fries that one time... "(Hm... Devious, but no. Nick's too stiff to play a joke on this level. Maybe if it were Gumshoe though... But I'd be hearing Pearly laying into him by now.)" Cupping her chin while pondering her situation, one thing did come to mind before the spirit medium tilted her head back towards Shaymin.

"Hey, how long do you think it'd take to hitchhike to L.A. from here?"

"There's gotta be some kind of space taxi I can get home with, right?"

[Coolshaymin]

"I am apparently really rare to see so they call me a mythical Pokemon. I never really got it but no, talking to humans is actually very rare. Even high level Psychic Types may not be able to do it with everyone. Just goes to show how great I am, doesn't it?" Shaymin declared proudly with a prideful stance. "A grass type that can out-psychic a psychic is pretty cool isn't it?" she added clearly proud of learning telepathy.

"... What's an El Aye? Is that one of those weird places in the Unova Region? But it doesn't have Town or City at the end... But you look more like a Sinnoh girl..." The hedgehog pondered with her face a little questioning... Oh right, she probably wasn't from her world given she did not know the name Pokemon. Still, she had no clue what a El Aye was. The Gratitude Pokemon shook her head and decided to just ignore it. "Sorry, there is no way back. Trust me, if I could get back to my Grove back home so easily, I would. You are stuck on Li and not much to do about it but wait for a day there isn't toxic pollution outside. I tried eating it but that only hurt... a lot..." she responded.

[Blade Unlimited]

"..."
"Unova? Sinnoh??"
"Y-You ate pollution?!"

Maya recoiled back in shock as the small green plant-hedgehog hybrid began casually commented on things that either were completely foreign to the Spirit Channeler or were just plain weird. Who eats pollution!? At first, Maya was frozen in surprise and just by not knowing really how to react...

"This is all just a prank r-right?"
She turned to either direction on the road, looking for some
evidence of hidden cameras or string wires manipulating Shaymin.
"Nick? Gunshoe? Alright, ya got me~"

...though if it was a prank, Maya's friends were being unusually dedicated to the deed... more-so than was even remotely normal for them... "C-Come on guys, not funny..." She uttered, her voice faltering a bit in the process as her smile began fading. "...T-This isn't a prank is this." Maya mumbled to herself finally, the reality of the situation hitting her after the idea had bounced around in her brain enough times. Twisting her head back down to face the Shaymin, a look of panic crossed the now worried Spirit Channeler.

"So... I really can't go home? There has to be some way out of here!"
She couldn't be trapped in another world! She had too many things to take
care of. What about Pearly, she would be in hysterics if she went missing!
"I came here in some weird portal thing? Aren't there any more?!"

[Coolshaymin]

"Well, more I absorb it and then convert it into energy as well as fresh air. Really though, it is like eating pollution in a way. And I am not a prank! I am the genuine article in all it's glory!" Shaymin declared striking a proud pose. She considered how the girl seemed in some kind of denial and can't say she blamed her. Well, she had one way she could think of that could ground her. May as well ground her. It's not like Sky will bite.

"Well, I will let Sky take over. I need to finish taking my nap," Land said as her body began emitting a jade glow. The form began to grow a bit taller and more canine like in appearance. Their appearance changed heavily but still keeping the same color and plant like appearance. Her flowers seemed to turn into a scarf as well. "Hi there! I am Sky! Nice to meet you, Maya!" Sky declared as he took over control.

"Sorry, but if we could go home, we would. We are not exactly city Pokemon but I can barely breathe out there... Portals seem to be a common way people get here too. They have always been one way though and we never see them after coming through. Sorry, but I don't think there is anything we can do..."
