action;
[Hello, Johto! Meet one of your newest arrivals: a ten-year-old girl with a mane of long, yellow hair sitting at the edge of the Route 27 waters, a Drifloon floating idly a yard or so away. The girl's Trainer's Manual is among some other items she'd emptied from her backpack, though it isn't hard to tell from the way it's tossed aside that she'd gotten frustrated with it. Instead, she now has her PokeGear in hand -- not that she knows what it's called -- and is busily pushing buttons, hoping for a better result than she got from the book.]

[The accidental broadcast begins with a close up of Mary's puzzled eyes, but her expression quickly changes to one of surprise, then again to a bright smile as she pulls the 'Gear away from her face.]

Oh, it's me! Hehehe!

[The camera drops for a few seconds as she pushes herself to her feet and takes a few steps so she can grab her Drifloon by its strings and pull it closer, offering it a view of the screen too.]

Look, 'Loony, it's us! [A pause.] But how come we're on the screen all of a sudden?

[She seems to contemplate this question for a moment before coming to a realization:]

Maybe it's a camera? Oooh! 'Loony, let's take a picture! [She moves to hold the device at arm's length, 'Loony tucking herself under Mary's chin.] Cheeeeeeese!

[But Mary then remembers she doesn't know what button to press to take the picture. Her brow furrows and she pulls the PokeGear close again, fussing with the buttons until the feed cuts off.]

Current Location: Shore of Route 27 - New Bark Town

[...this wasn't Hell, but it didn't seem like Purgatory either.

Just 10 minutes ago Dante had been given a bagpack and a red and white ball by some woman claiming to be his mother, before being unceremoniously pushed out the door and told to have a "great adventure".

Lost and confused by the sudden change in location, he was taken even more aback by just about everything else; from the houses, to the clothing, even the items in the bag were completely unfamiliar. He had fought his way out of Hell only to stumble into an entirely new world.

At least the people seemed friendly and not hostile. Dante was going to need a few minutes to calm himself down before he could ask questions, so he started walking out of the small town and down Route 27. As he tries to sort out what's going on though, he hears a young girl's happy exclamations. Looking at her direction, he has to smile a little at her excitement; it's been awhile since he's heard a child's laughter.

And then he noticed that her doll, which he had thought was a doll from afar...was actually moving.

It's a demon!]

Girl, get away from it!

[He may not have his scythe or his cross here, but he won't let any innocents be harmed even if he has to fight with his bare hands]

[Mary's head pops up from the 'Gear when a man suddenly yells, presumably for her. She's the only girl around, right?]

Get away?

[She glances around curiously, absolutely no concern on her face as to what she could be being told to get away from. Meanwhile, the assumed demon drifts away from little blonde and toward the man with a inquisitive call of its own name, rather interested in the newcomer.]

From:

redenzione

[Dante charges straight at the floating purple ball, hoping to draw its attention away from the girl to give her a chance to get away. She probably didn't realise what danger she was in, so it looks like he'll have to distract the monster and lead it away. Raising a fist, he attempts to throw a punch at the Drifloon, but the Pokemon's happy enough to merely float away from Dante's reach.]

Quickly girl, run back to the town! I will hold the monster here.

From:

[When she sees him attack the Pokemon, Mary is quick to scamper into action: she rushes forward and jumps up to grab Dante's fist, swinging with all her weight to pull his arm down and away from the Drifloon.]

Don't hurt 'Loony!! She's my balloon, not a monster!

[Unsure about the commotion, 'Loony drops down from where she had escaped Dante's punch and worriedly bumps Mary's shoulder, trying to calm her.]

From:

redenzione

[He hadn't expected Mary to pounce on his arm like that. Dante's strong and more than capable of carrying Mary if she's going to be hanging on to him like that, but alarm shoots through him and he manages to withhold his next punch for fear of accidentally hitting the wrong target.]

What are you doing? This thing is not safe! It's-

[And that's when the Drifloon hovers up and bumps Dante on the shoulder as well. Out of reflex he jumps back, pulling Mary along with him out of the creature's range.]

Stay back!

[Keeping a firm grip on Mary to make sure she doesn't get any closer to the Pokemon, he eyes the purple ball carefully in case of any sudden movements. Now that he's had the time to observe the Drifloon though he's quick to catch on that the it isn't...actually lunging after them. Nor does it look particularly fearsome. Or hostile.[]
