firstnothing[Things have gotten a little.. odd, as midnight passed. Xemnas hadn't noticed at first, he was asleep and could sleep like the dead if sufficiently - but his Kadabra noticed, and after several minutes of waiting to see if the flash and thundrous crack of sound would repeat itself, went to carefully shake his master awake and relay what he'd seen.
The tent Xemnas had purchased in Goldenrod served well, keeping the late-year chill out (especially with several pokemon taking up residence inside with him), which meant getting on a few layers before venturing outside to watch the sky, and then the surroundings. His own senses were only as good as a human's, but with his pokemon now awake and theirs added to his own it's a little easier to tell that things are going a bit.. weird out here. More than a bit weird, was the landscape different?]
...Let's get moving. Whatever caused that, I don't want to be caught in the open for if it happens again.
[Malice glances at Xemnas, ears flattening back.]
::I have reason to believe we are in a new location, sir. This isn't Route 43.::
[That draws pause from Xemnas, who glances around again, this time looking for more than just shrubs and grass. ... And couldn't find fault with that conclusion. This earns a scowl and a sharp gesture. He didn't recognize the area. He'd never been to Kanto, nevermind being near Celadon City.]
Then whatever's chosen to shift us around like pieces on a chessboard won't find us waiting patiently the next time, will it?
[He sets to disassembling camp; after a moment the pokemon he has with hands begin helping. Time to get the hell out of dodge before anything else weird happened.]

It's usually about three days, though, and after that, all the locals act like nothing changed. There's some serious denial, so I figure they're either trying to forget or it's just too much for them to handle, so they just sort of drown it out.
[As for whether he's gained anything... Riku breaths in and flexes his fingers. Darkness swirls around his wrist, and the Soul Eater forms in his grip.]
...And no, I haven't had lost things returned to me. More like powers I didn't even have yet.

And that perhaps the powers that be of this world tended to erase the memories of those affected.
The Darkness that Riku calls on, and then the eyed blade, is unexpected and interesting; an estimation is shifted around a little.]
Powers you have now, at the least. I suspect it's less you haven't gained them yet than perhaps you should have long ago. It's useful to have, is it not? Is the edge still keen?
[Or is it more like the knives and swords of this place, only sharp if a pokemon has them?]
