[On the coast, near the dock, a young man with bright red hair has washed ashore. He does not appear to be conscious]



[Video]

[A rather energetic-looking young man bursts onto the video feed!]

Hiiii! Takuto Tsunashi, 16 years old! I just swam here from the island! My grandfather lived in this city a long time ago and he told me all about it! I've been dreaming of finding my way back here for awhile and am really excited to be here! I look forward to meeting all of you and learning more about Union!

[Action]

[It takes a bit to find it, but Takuto finds himself at the door to the Union Divine Theater. Drawing himself up, he knocks on the door]

Hello? My name is Takuto Tsunashi! Grandson of Ikurou Tsunashi, who used to work at this theater! I have a letter of introduction, may I be let in?

[After receiving a fishing rod, Sanae found she actually really enjoyed fishing. So there she was, Moriya the Poliwag, Sukuna the Azurill and Kodoma the Hoppip following behind her. Heading toward the dock, she noticed something in the distance.

Hey, that looked like a person! Someone was in trouble! Sanae ran toward the young man.

Oh gosh was he dead?! Was he breathing?! She ducked in close to check, her pokemon trailing behind her.]

Action, locked.

[taudriver]

[It seems like he is breathing, albeit faintly]

Action, locked.

[NOT DEAD THAT'S GOOD. Okay, first aid first aid, what does she remember about first aid? She tried to remember what some of the clerics would do in this situation. He needed help breathing, right? She thinks she remembers the motions.

Okay, no time to worry about that right now! Sanae you have to do something! Even if he is a guy. She'll do her best to try to go through the motions of resuscitation. She's not trained, and really she's focusing more and trying to force air in and out.

Please work!]

[kakuto]

You swam here?! That's amazing!

[She just met this guy and he's already so cool to her.]

Welcome to Union! You'll like it here, it's a pretty good city with tons of stuff to do!

[taudriver]

I didn't quite make it but I missed the boat and didn't want to wait!

What is there to do here? Grandpa hasn't been here in a long time so he couldn't really say what it's like now.

[kakuto]

I can understand that feeling! I wanna swim to the islands someday, but I got a big Pokémon to ride on so he doesn't let me swim with him.

Well... We got a bunch of places here to work at and there's stuff for fun too like sports, shopping, training, and more! Of course, some of us like to go outside and explore like the Rangers do.

[rainsrespite]

You swam. All the way. From the island?

[There's an air of incredulity there. Like she just cannot believe what she's hearing.]

[Video]

[taudriver]

Yep!

[Video]

[rainsrespite]

No run-ins with Tentacruels, then? Lucky you. Are you from down that way?

[Mentally? She hopes that he’s not heard about Banzu’s little excursion. That got messy, in no small part thanks to her sticking up for Isabela.]

[unbalancedlove]

[He what?]

You... swam? I didn't know it was possible.

[Video]

[taudriver]

Honestly it's not a great idea. I barely made it.

[Video]

[allergictoloveletters]

You swam here from the island? [It wasn't impossible but it required a skilled swimmer, certainly! Especially as there were all sort of pokemon in the water who might attack.]

Are you suffering from exhaustion or hunger? Dehydration perhaps?

[Video]

[taudriver]

They already helped me out so I'm doing good!

Video

[blood_and_thunder]

You... swam?

Video

[taudriver]

Yes I did!

[Video]

[nicocism]

You seriously expect people to believe you swam that entire distance?

[Video]

[taudriver]

Well you don't have to believe it... but I really did! Honest!

Action, theater

[celebrity_commentator]

[The door's answered by a teenage girl with long, copper-red hair and an air of poise that's either ruined or enhanced by the equally-poised Vulpix perched carefully on her head.]

Oh! Hi, yeah, come in!

Vul!

Action, theater

[taudriver]

Thank you! Are you an actress here?

Video;

[sewingbox]

Does that mean you grew up on an island?

[Ruby looks skeptical. His Skitty is trying to get into frame because she is the true star here. She mews at Takuto and paws the screen before Ruby nudges her away.]

And you swam here? Yuck.

Video;

[taudriver]

Yeah I did. What's wrong with swimming?

[video]

[ebbnflow]

You swam all the way over here? I'm impressed! The seas can be cruel after all.

[video]

[taudriver]

I noticed.

Video

[niepokonany]

Wait, for real? Like, how long did that take?

[Even for someone with Feliks's level of common sense, that's. Really something.]

Video

[taudriver]

About four hours?
