[And the screen lights up to show a young teenage girl, trying her best not to look worried. Unfortunately, as Flora is rather hideous with hiding her feelings, it's fairly safe to say that she's pretty upset with the mere idea of being here.]

U-um, excuse me! Other people on this... odd... talking contraption. [She frowns at it. What is this thing, anyway?] I'm a little lost, and... I'm trying to find my way back. Some lady claiming to be my mother has given me a satchel, but she's locked me out of her home so I couldn't ask any further questions! I'm quite sure I shouldn't be here, though... I...

[Deep breath. Must stay calm, must stay calm...] I'm looking for three young gentlemen! A man by the name of Professor Hershel Layton, a younger chap by the name of Luke Triton, and a lad around my age... Also named Luke Triton. We were all together until just a few seconds ago...

I... I wasn't kidnapped, was I!? [Again? That panicked face returns. What if they're not here? What if she can't find her way back? What if - no, no, she has to remain calm. Calm, collected, prim and proper... She can do this.]

If anyone has seen them or knows of their whereabouts, could you please let them know that Flora Reinhold is looking for them?

A-and... Could someone please tell me what odd sort of place this is? Or, um-- [Wait! Te thing she was given earlier. She fishes through the backpack and holds up a pokéball.] What is this? I think something's inside it but... I'm not quite sure.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

Professor!?

[Flora's eyes widen as she peers into the device at him. She really wasn't expecting to see him through there! (There go her hopes of just finding them outside.) But now she can ask him questions!]

What... is this place? Is it some odd part of the future London? I don't recall falling asleep at all. A-- and you and Luke and the older Luke... aren't over here anymore...?

One question at a time, Flora. It's best if you calm down right now. [ Not that he can blame her, but he'll answer her. ] As for your first question, I'm afraid to say that this isn't London anymore, present nor future. At the moment, you are in another world.

[Calm down? Well, panicking isn't very ladylike... She can be calm! Taking a deep breath, she nods... but then her eyes practically pop out of her head at his answer.]

...Another world? Are... are you sure? B-but... how did we get here?

I'm afraid that even I do not know. Truth be told, I have been here for over a year and a half, and even I haven't gotten close to solving this puzzle.

A... a year and a half?

[Where has she been for a year and a half?!]

[ Ah, he should explain... ]

From what I've gathered, time stops back home for us when we arrive here, and everyone seems to be from different timelines. It's rather a confusing matter. It might be best if I explain this in person to you.

[Professor I don't get it.]

...that's so peculiar... Y-yes, I think meeting up would probably be easier!

But where would I be able to find you?

I'm a couple cities away from your location. [ He sees that familiar town behind Flora. He really can't forget it. ] It will take me some time before I can reach you, even by flying. Will you be able to sit still until then?

[She nods.]

I'll wait here--

Flying? You have to fly over here?

Yes, I'm quite far away. If I've walked, it will take me over a month to reach you.

[GASP!]

A month?! How far are you?

I am in Goldenrod City with Luke and Big Luke. If you look through your bag, you'll find a small book that has a map of this region.

A map.

[And she begins digging through the bag until she pulls out the folded paper.]

Alright... Goldenrod... [And spotted. But...]

Professor, where am I?

[ He lets out a small chuckle, smiling. ]

New Bark Town. It should be located at the bottom right-hand corner of the map.

[She nods quickly and holds the map up close to her face. Alright, spotted New Bark Town! And then Goldenrod...

...wow, that definitely does look like half a distance.]

You're so far away!

That I am, but it shouldn't take more than a few days to reach you by flying. There should be enough supplies in your bag to keep you warm and fed till then.

Oh... [Nodding, she finally sets the map down and smiles.]

I'll wait here for you, Professor. But, um... I think I shall try and ask the mistaken woman if she's willing to let me stay a few more days.

Actually, my dear, I'm afraid that she won't allow you back indoors... you will most likely have to sleep in a tent.

[ HAVE FUN WITH THAT ]

In a tent? ...you mean I have to sleep outside?

[What's camping, Professah?]

Unfortunately, you do. There's no other solution.

[ besides walking the three day trip to Cherrygrove BUT LIKE HELL THAT IS HAPPENING ]

O-oh... [She spends a good moment just staring at him, but she soon puts on a small smile.]

W-well... It might be fun!

[ He returns the small smile, hoping it would make her a lot more accepting of the idea of sleeping outdoors. ]

It certainly is a new experience. If you are fortunate, sleeping under a night full of stars is truly something.

I've never slept under the stars before! But it sounds quite marvelous, Professor.

I assure you it is, and if you don't manage to see any tonight, I promise that you will see them soon.

It can be quite breathtaking when a whole night sky is filled with them.

Then I'll take your word for it. I do hope I see some tonight, though.

[She actually looks excited. Professor, what are you doing?]
