INTRO.
You wake up feeling like you’ve had a rough night’s sleep… maybe a bit jet-lagged, if you’re familiar with the feeling, or perhaps like you, uh, had a little too much to drink last night. Either way, you’re probably not expecting to wake up in a forest clearing, so that might be even more disorienting. It’s not an unpleasant place to wake up, mind. It’s sunny, and there’s a pleasantly cool breeze blowing through. The grass isn’t tall enough that you could get lost in it or that someone could be hiding in it… or something.
There are, in fact, a lot of somethings surrounding you--a veritable menagerie of creatures, some of them adorable, and some of them intimidating… but they seem to be as disoriented as you are. And then, well… you realize something’s a little off about yourself. There’s no pond to look at your new appearance, but… maybe the ground’s a little closer. Maybe you don’t actually have arms and legs at the moment. Maybe you don’t have eyes anymore?
Regardless, something’s definitely up. Fortunately, there’s a path leading out of the clearing, so once you get your bearings and speak with some of the other weird critters you’ve woken up with, you can find… somewhere you can get answers. Well, hopefully, anyway.

... Human? Formerly? I just woke up like this?
[Oh dear, he's gonna have to spell it out for almost everyone?]
I take it, that's the same with you?

IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE, ALL RIGHT.
Annnnd it does not in fact help any that that's the first friggin' thing out of his mouth. Her mouth shifts further into an... open-curved-D-shaped frown; another breath, before --
More of a little... fringing waver of intensity.]
-- I-I-I just woke up here, yeah... -- !
[One... hard nod before she... looks side to side, finally.
Actually looks at that one shadowy hand of hers. Wavers out one questioning gasp...? -- And then at the other, and then down at... the tail of shadow where her legs are supposed to be...!
She just... gasps nice and thinned to herself. Another little high frantic suppressed waver...!]
What's happened to me...?
[...Pressing more and more whispery off of that, but...
...you know, on one hand?
Iiiit's really kind of something that she wouldn't be nearly this freaked out... if she had ever played a Pokemon game beyond Gen I. 8,)b]

[Honestly, Rantaro only knows about Pokemon through pop culture osmosis. He ain't sure of his talent, but it's definitely not the Ultimate Gamer. But hey, at least he's keeping a relatively cool head about this.
He tries rubbing the back of his neck, but all he can really do is wave his hoof in the air. Donkeys aren't really known for reaching their own backs... So he stops it after a few tries. SIGH.]
I really wish I had something better to tell you, but I'm just as confused as you are.
