"Attention all passengers, we are currently landing in Jubilife City, Sinnoh region... Please remain seated and orderly... Please keep all Pokemon contained and– What is that Ducklett doing in here?!"
"quack"
"Fuck it, we land fast!"
That's how a plane came falling from the sky directly onto the landing spot in Jubilife City.
Nah, just kidding, they landed safely, if not comfortably, as everyone left the plane slightly dizzy.
"Kwaru... never do that again, please..." Hogoki said, and Foccai barked in agreement.
Kwaru proceeded to eat some grass on the airfield.
After everyone recovered from their dizziness, Hogoki got out a map of Sinnoh he'd received on the flight.
"...Which way's Canopy or whatever that place was called?"
Foccai facepalmed and Kwaru pointed north before the seal could answer.
"That way? Alright, let's hurry!"
The Popplio died inside as Hogoki ran off, then proceeded to hurry after him.
—
It took a little bit to catch up, but when Foccai had arrived, Hogoki was standing at the exit to Floaroma Town arguing with some guy in a teal wig and space suit.
"Maybe watch yourself a little better, kid, because this ain't fucking Canalave's direction, and I'm not a goddamn wall to go crash into!"
"How am I supposed to know either of those things?!"
"Most people know that shit! Now, I'll just take the seal and leave, ya hear?" Oh crap.
"...Why're you trying to take Foccai?"
"Donation to the new world."
"New world?"
"Of course! The new world needs a new economy, after all, and that Popplio'll be a great asset to our work!"
"...What work?"
"How should I know?"
"You'd know more than me."
"Well, I know jack shit, so if you're right, be down on yourself less, kid. Not everyone has negative brain cells."
"...Anyway, there's no way you're getting Foccai, so since you told me which way Canalave is, we'll just head that way–"
"Did I say you had a choice?! My Stunky didn't give ya any!" the guy declared, throwing four balls up and unleashing... four farting skunks that Kwaru proceeded to laugh at and Water Gun to defeat. "...Shit."
Admittedly, it was kinda funny.
"...Turns out I do have a choice!"
"Oh, fuck off..."
"Gladly, be seein' ya!"
With that, Hogoki ran off, Kwaru flew behind him, and Foccai was hurrying to follow again, this time surpassing his trainer and giving directions from then on.
—
It took a few hours of sidestepping the river, but Hogoki and Foccai arrived in Canalave eventually, and they immediately made a beeline for the port. Then some teal haired, black mustached guy in a suit with a Zubat took two frames of animation to zoom in front of Hogoki.
"Hey, hey, hey, looking for a boat to the miraculous Flower Paradise! I have just the thing for you, then — exactly what you need! Step right up, step right up to the port and get in and we'll be there in no time!"
Well, you couldn't refuse that kind of offer.
That's how they got on the boat... which, surprisingly, had free meals, so of course Hogoki took advantage of that and ate a yes amount of food.
...Of course, after meals come tiredness, and dizziness, and brain fog, so he'd just take a nap right on the floor...
—
He woke up, and immediately found himself frantic, with a headache, and on the shores of a beach of some kind.
He felt unusually weak as he tried to stand, spitting out some sand and falling onto his rear. Taking the need to sit as an opportunity to study his surroundings, he noticed the snow and sand coexisting and promptly came to a realization.
This wasn't that Flower Paradise. But if that was true, where was he...?
...At least he still had his Pokemon.
