Lena walked down the road with Stefan to the PVR base. They had built a lot of these centers in the run up to the game.

"Stefan I'm going to phone up Peter, he phoned me a few days ago about the game." Lena said, getting out her mobile phone.

*Ring ring*

Peter Nalitch woke up to the sound of his phone ringing.

"Who could that be?" he thought, as he grabbed his phone.

"Yes, hello?" he said.

"Hey Peter it's me, Lena, I'm going to the Pokemon Virtual Reality thing, it seems everyone else is playing it and I thought I'd give you a call since you told me about it the other day."

"Oh ok, you know the others who were at the contest are coming today with later on, I was going to ring you to see if you wanted to tag along!"

"That's great, what time?"

"6pm. Wait, no, that's Moscow time. In Germany it would be... um... let's see... 4pm! Yes, that's right. So yeah, 4pm."

"Ok, sounds great, we're off to register for the game now, bye Peter!"

"Bye!"

And so Lena and Stefan walked into the PVR base.

Registering into the PVR system was done by signing their name on a sheet of paper and buying a virtual reality helmet, which, once put on, would transfer all the users thoughts into the game.

"Hello, you are here to register, yes?" said the guy who ran the register system.

"Yes, yes, I'm Stefan Raab, and this is my friend, Lena Meyer-Landrut!"

"Oh, from the Eurovision? Yes yes, I've registered you in the system now. You can go into our shop on the left and buy a helmet each. Those will give you access to the game!"

"Thank you!" said Lena as they went off into the shop.

The shop was full of PVR helmets and Pokemon toys.

"Wow this place is awesome," Lena said as they bought helmets.

"You know I'm not even sure if this is going to work Lena," said Stefan, "You know robots are very different from..."

"Pfffftttttt..." said Lena, "It will work I just know it will!"

And so they went back home and opened their helmets from the boxes.

"God damn it why do they pack these things so tightly," Stefan said, and it took him ten minutes to open the boxes with the helmets.

"What's the time?" Lena asked.

"3:50pm."

*Ring ring*

Lena answered the phone.

"Ok Lena," Peter answered, "We're going into the game now!"

"Sweet, we'll be right on our way!"

And Stefan and Lena put the helmets on.

"It's time to enter the world of Pokemon!" Stefan said, as their thoughts were transferred to the game.

Stefan woke up in a strange laboratory.

"It worked! But is Lena here?" he thought.

"Haha Stefan!" Lena said from besides him, "I told you I'd make it!"

"Lena!" said Peter Nalitch, "It's great to see you! We set it so you'd teleport here, with us!"

"Hey Lena!" said Gjoko Taneski, "We were wondering when you'd turn up!"

After the reunion they stood in the lab for a while, looking around at how real the game looked. Could it even be considered a simulation at all?

"I still don't believe in any of this..." Juliana said,

"But, Juliana, it's only a game, you shouldn't worry about things like this," Milan Stankovic answered her, he was worried about setting her off though, as he had saw how angry she could get back in the contest.

"Ah, it's only a game?" the Albanian snapped back, "Ha, sweet Serbian, your heart is in the right place but your mind is not. I have read the Lord's manuscript sent from the heavens, otherwise known as the Bible, and it says this..." she flipped her Bible out from her pocket, as you are allowed to create digital clones of real life items for use in the game, and flicked through the pages.

"Oh god, please continue," Stefan said sarcastically.

"BLASPHEMY!" she yelled, and she threw the Bible at Stefan.

"Ow," Stefan said, "God damn it, you can feel pain in this game? This is too realistic. This game sucks. God damn."

"Stop blaspheming, fallen angel from the bowels of Lucifer!" Juliana yelled, "I shouldn't have been yelling at Milan during the contest, as the real devil among us is you, Stefan Raab!"

"What on Earth is going on in there?" came a voice from outside.

A man with white hair wearing a lab coat came out to greet them.

"Hello, and welcome to the world of Pokemon!" he said, "I am professor Oak. Try not to argue so loudly, you can argue as much as you want once you get to Pokemon Forest."

The Slovakian, Kristina Pelakova immeadiatly said, "I want a squirtle!"

"Ok, ok," said Professor Oak, who handed her a blue pokeball.

"Hooray!" she said, holding the pokeball in her hands.

"Now please don't release pokemon in the lab," said Oak, "However, sometimes they may slip out occasionally in the beginning. As you get to know your pokemon this will happen less and less."

After all the others had received their pokemon, Gjoko Taneski stepped forward, he was the last of the group to receive a pokemon.

"Ah, I've... ran out of pokemon, I think..." Professor Oak said sadly, "We were not expecting so many people to play... ah, here's one!" and Oak handed Gjoko an orange pokeball.

"Great!" Gjoko said, looking at his pokeball, "I wonder what type of pokemon I've got!"

Suddenly, his pokeball flashed and a orange fish pokemon came out.

"Magi... magikarp!"

"A magikarp! Oh no!" Gjoko said, shocked at the weak pokemon before him.

The magikarp flapped around on the floor.

"Magi, magikarp!"
"It's the only one left, I'm sorry, but you've got a lot of friends here, maybe they could catch you another pokemon!" Oak said.

"Yeah!" said Lena, "We'll catch you another pokemon! Right guys!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and walked out of the lab with their new pokemon.

"This game is going to be great!" Lena said happily, and they all walked out of the lab and into Pokemon Forest.

Leaves fell down all around them, it was identical to a real forest.

If they hadn't known they were in a simulation, they wouldn't know they were in a simulation. It all looked so real.
