You should try catching a riding-sized Pokemon! That might make things a bit easier.

I don't think there are any this close to Viridian?

How far away from Viridian are you?

Come to think of it, I think wild onix are the only ones in this area that would be rideable...

Are you even sure it was people?

[Sigh.]

You have my sympathy.

It doesn't look like anyone knows who or what could have done it...

I have been wondering something similar, though Shoutaro is my partner, not my twin. If we were brought for a purpose, one would think those around us of significance should be of some interest as well.

Do you miss your partner?

I don't have any siblings, but I really do miss my friends. We've been through so much in one year so it's weird not being with them.

Family is family. It doesn't matter if you're related by blood or not. Friends can become family, so I can understand how hard it is to be away from them too.

It's just a little harder when you're constantly around someone and suddenly they are no longer there.

So it was fun to start with?

But yeah, I know what you mean, kind of. I mean, I don't have brothers, but my teammates are like that. Maybe you'll get lucky, and he'll come here, too~

Of course it was! It's not every day that you wake up in something like one of your favorite childhood games!

What are your teammates like?

Maybe it's planning to drop your brother here when you're well along your way and would have to backtrack a months worth of travel time?

... Johto can be really mean like that, I've found.

If it happens that way with Hikaru, then I don't think I'd mind so much.

I can understand the feeling. It's really uncomfortable being away from your family and everyone you know.

[ he's not exactly glued to his twin's side but he misses her. nevermind he'd have had the same problem when he moved away for university. ]

Empty, I think, is the better word for it.

I believe whoever's terrible joke at bringing us here has some sense in only bringing you. If there were two of you whining, I don't think I could stand it.

[She is cold. And miserable. Her Houndour - gotten because of its Fire typing, in order to have a warmer journey in these winter months! - is too small to keep her heated unless she holds the ugly little dog.

Which is is not favorable to doing.]

You could overlook it, you know.

[Mio hesitates lightly and shifts a little uncomfortably. More twins?]

...I was here for a while, before my twin sister showed up. A good couple of months at least. [She fidgets a little. Her sister has also been dead just prior to her arrival] It was hard at first to be without her, but I made a few....friends to help.

[It's still a little strange saying she has friends now] But I'm happy that she's here. Nothing can take her place after all, not even close friends.

`At least you have each other now, right?

I would be willing to loan you my Meganium, if you need a pokémon to ride.

Meganium?

[ oh man does Shou know about having a twin brother. Though he doesn't quite fully agree with the whole statement -- ]

I don't know, separating from your twin can help, sometimes! Mine always had a sort of brother complex towards me and it got annoying sometimes. Especially when he didn't like that I was seeing a girl...

[ but sighs a bit now -- ]

...It kind of sucks being trapped here without him, though, so I guess I still know what you mean.

I've been trying to help Hikaru get a girlfriend. He's just really being sort of dense about it.

[ augh. some times big brothers can be so stupid. ]

It's still just a little too early for us to be parted like this for a long time.

Johto can be cruel sometimes... But if you're lucky he might show up.

So I should cross my fingers or wish on a falling star?
