"Welcome to Jubilife Village, our home and a safe place for travelers." Kamado said, walking the group through the village. "I understand that the five of you have your own goals to accomplish while you are here, but I will ask that you try to help out from time to time in return for our generous hospitality."
"Of course, we'd expect nothing less." Pokemon Master Ash said, understanding the agreement. "Now you said you didn't have a lot of spare rooms, does that mean the five of us will be rooming together?"
"Almost, of course I wouldn't ask a young lady to room with four boys, even if they are family." Kamado said, looking at Trap Ash.
"Ashlyn isn't…". Coordinator Ash began before seeing Trap Ash signal for him to not bother. "Bothered by rooming with us…"
"Nonsense, besides Akari could use a roommate and friend right now." Kamado said. "And then your own hut won't be as crowded."
"Are you sure you're okay with this?" Coordinator Ash whispered.
"Hardly the first time I've been mistaken as a girl and forced to act and live like one." Trap Ash said.
"How many times?" Coordinator Ash asked.
"Too many." Trap Ash said, still recovering from his fight.
"So how long have you all been here, it seems peaceful." Seer Ash said, his eyes glowing pink to look for anything that would show problems.
"We first arrived here a few years ago, we being me, and a few of my closest friends. We built up this village from nothing to what it is today, and strive to keep peace and prosperity as long as we can." Kamado said.
"And what is the name of this village?" Ark asked.
"Jubilife Village, it means Village of Joyous Life." Kamado said. "When I came here with the first group, our old home had been destroyed by wild Pokemon, and I swore to make sure that would never happen again, so I keep peace and bring joy wherever I can."
"Jubilife…". Trap Ash said, starting to piece things together.
"Well here we are, I'll let you boys get settled, and Ashlynn, Akari's lodgings are on the other side of the Galaxy Hall." Kamado said. "I'll have her know to expect you and prepare a bed roll."
"Thank you, we just need to figure out where we're going next while we're here." Trap Ash said, ushering the other Ashs into the shack.
"Skirt, are you sure you're okay with rooming with a girl." Pokemon Master Ash asked, making sure this was fine.
"I've been like this for five years, I'm used to it, but what we need to worry about is when we currently are." Trap Ash said.
"Don't you mean where?" Seer Ash asked.
"No. So one of my friends Chloe Cerise she was looking into ancestors of modern Pokemon, and from her and Professor Rowan's research they came across findings of Braviary that looked just like that one." Trap Ash said.
"Cerise, as in the Cerise lab?" Seer Ash said.
'Stay on point." Trap Ash said.
"Right, continue." Seer Ash said.
"So no big deal an old Braviary, except for the fact that the last sighting of them looking like that in my world was well over 100 years ago." Trap Ash said. "And then there's here, Jubilife Village."
"It could just be a different world, not like all of ours are in sync." Coordinator Ash pointed out.
"Again, it's just a working theory, but right now here's what we know. Somehow we survived the end of a reality, we're now here, our powers are working, but this worlds Arceus hasn't contacted us yet." Trap Ash said.
"You think he would?" Pokemon Master Ash said.
"I'm hoping for it, but for the time being we have one thing connecting us to him. Where is the Zap Plate?" Trap Ash asked.
"Right, we still have a plate!" Ark exclaimed.
"Yeah, I put it in my bag when we landed, so it didn't get… it's white." Pokemon master Ash said in confusion.
"Do you think it's broken?" Ark asked.
"No clue, I don't really know how they work." Pokemon Master Ash said, looking to the next most knowledgeable.
"Yeah, I learned how to deal with legendary Pokemon, not how to control them." Trap Ash said.
"Okay, let's not count that one right now, if we're in a new world there should be 17 to find again." Coordinator Ash said.
"I don't think it's a new world." Pokemon Master Ash said. "It's hard to explain, but I think that the world was reset to this point. I had a vision of my friends and family telling me we could still save the world."
"A vision of them, it might be a hallucination considering that they were erased from reality." Seer Ash said.
"But it also might not be, the aura realm is powerful, even to the point that Arceus can't access it on his own." Trap Ash said. "If we can find an aura tree I could try and test that theory, see if I can connect with anyone from this world who was a master."
"Any idea where to find one?" Coordinator Ash asked.
"Never found one in Sinnoh, it might take me a bit, but I'll ask around, for now we just need to relax and wait until we can figure out where exactly we are." Trap Ash said. "Do your parts, blend in, and try not to cause too much trouble if you can help it, we're guests in an unknown area right now."
"And where are you off to with no answers yet?" Pokemon Master Ash asked.
"Wherever I'm supposed to be staying while we're here, I count five of us and four beds in his place." Trap Ash said. "You guys can figure that out on your own."
"Mine." Ark said, flopping down onto a cot.
"I'll take top." Coordinator Ash said, swinging onto a higher cot with an aura tendril.
"I've got the bottom bunk." Seer Ash said, grabbing the one below it.
"Guess this one's mine." Pokemon Master Ash said, as Trap Ash left.
Outside
"I can see you watching me, might as well come out." Trap Ash said, as a figure walked out of the shadows.
"I don't know who you all are or where you came from, but since Kamado trusts you, I will as well for now." A man with green and white hair said. "But give me one reason not to trust any of you, and I will personally make sure you are exiled from our village."
"Relax." Trap Ash said. "We will do our part to protect this village while we are here, any threats that come for us we will handle."
"You should hope that is the case." The man said, walking towards Ash. "Here, bring these to Akira, she did not eat today, and there are enough for the two of you to share, I will bring these to your cohorts."
"Threatening and then giving me food?" Trap Ash asked.
"I like my position to be known, but I also won't let you go hungry while you are here." The man said calmly. "Watch yourselves, I don't think you are the only visitors who have found their way here recently."
"Will do." Trap Ash said, walking off.
