[Breeding guide? Check. New Pokémon? Also check. Owen isn't freaking out much, mostly because he gets to follow around a rock. How awesome is that? Unfortunately, his Roggenrola decided it wanted to walk into one of the random houses. Literally. His starter walked into a house, leaving behind a small hole and a confused trainer behind.

Well. This is new. Time to use the phone.]

Yo! People can hear me on this thing, right? I kind of just showed up here. I don't really know how.

[Awkward. He rubs the back of his neck.]

It's great to meet all of you, but does anyone know what these little rock guys eat? [He turns the gear, pointing it at the hole in the house's wall. It's not deep enough to go into the house, meaning there's a little critter roaming around inside the wall.] I think it's called a Roggenrola. He's pretty great, but he hasn't come out yet! I was thinking about trying to lure him out with some food. So, anyone got any ideas?

[Anyone in New Bark Town will be able to find a large man crouching next to a house. He'll try the trail mix and mom's lunch, placing them in front of the hole...but nothing seems to be working. Stop and help out the confused oaf?]

[Spying the guy from across the way, he... seems to be trying to lure something? Hopefully it's something cute, she hasn't tried to see what she got yet when she got a whiff of the stink it made before hiding, but... well. She's not too inclined to find it just yet; it's around. Following.

Being creepy.

ANYWAY. Approaching, she crouches down beside him and peers into the hole.] Did you lose your pet in there?

[Owen stops what he's doing to look over his shoulder. Oh, hey pink haired girl. He offers a smile and rubs the back of his neck again. This is all so weird, and he's kind of on edge because of it.]

Yeah. He just walked right through the wall. Pretty intense, huh? He hasn't come back out yet.

[Hmm. Something does smell bad.]

Walked through the wall? [Well. Explains the hole.] I hope he didn't get stuck! [And they can't get back into "Mom's" house with how she locks the door. Humming quietly in thought, she crouches a little lower and tries to reach in.]

What kind is he?

Haha, that's exactly what happened! I don't think he's stuck, though...if he was stuck, he could break the wall right back out, right?

[He laughs! Because this is still kind of funny. He's not nearly as worried as Cheria seems to be.]

He's a Rock and Roller. I only heard his name once before he wandered off. Guess I need to be more careful from now on, huh?

I guess so! A Rock and Roller? It sounds a little like "Rockgagong" but those are enormous creatures, so it can't be something like that... [Gonna stick her arm in further, patting about. There's some shuffling of plastic on grass behind him that makes her jerk though, nervously looking back behind her.

And there it is.

The trash bag with eyes.

Oh god the stink.]

I've never heard of a Rockgagong. So, there are bigger living rocks out there, I take it? With a name like that, it has to be.

[Owen watches her. Cheria will hear some slow movement from within the walls, and they're moving a bit closer.

The blacksmith, on the other hand, is looking behind them.]

What's this thing supposed to be? ...And what's that smell?

It's something from my world, but it's really enormous.

[She can hear the small rock creature, but Cheria is a little distracted with the stinky bag bouncing near her, happy to have found his trainer again! Lifting her free hand, she's quick to cover her nose.]

It's... apparently called a Trubbish? It's a living bag of garbage, so that's the smell.. [SHE DOESN'T WANT TO SAY IT'S HERS SOB]

Your world?

[He's about to say more, but he starts to cough instead. Yup, he sure is going to cover his nose, too. He looks friendly enough, but that smell...]

That guy must belong to someone else. You think he's lost?

Yeah, we're all from different worlds here, is what I was told.

[Inward sob; but she coughs behind her sleeve.] He's um.. supposedly mine..

Mind telling me what you mean by that?

[He looks to her, then back down at the Trubbish.] Hey, he smells pretty bad...but he seems like a nice guy.

I'm not sure I understand it very well myself.

He hasn't tried to hurt me, so that's a plus, I .. I guess. [BUT THE STINK.]

Hmm...I think I get it.

I'm a blacksmith, so my partner's a little rock guy. You must be a garbage woman! [OWEN, NO. You're WRONG!]

What?

N.. no! I'm no garbage woman!

I do nothing that involves trash! [Inwardly sobbing!]

[........ Calming her outburst though, she holds her face in both hands.] I heal people as a relief worker. My world has trouble with wars right now, and healing and caring for others is what I'm best at.

Oh, uh, man. That's pretty far off from what I said, huh? That sounds really admirable, though. Sorry about that.

It's.. it's okay! I just.. [THAT TRUBBISH WHYYYY]
