Shinji Matou

I was really surprised when I heard there were Pokemon here too!! Who else trains Pokemon here?? Is anyone else here from "Kanto"...?? ? Or even just Aichi, in Japan??-

I'm from Aichi prefecture, Nagoya that is, so Kanto is kind of adjacent when it comes to our dialects, but --

Man, though, this really brings back memories!!...

[ To some of the eight Pokemon gathered happily behind Syo at the back, which you can now see a dimly-lit shot of, as it's now evening -- though Syo's lights are dimmed?? Lapras and Tropius have returned to their Pokeballs since Syo checked on their health, but ]:

It's really great to see you guys again!! ... [ subconsciously to self ]
But it looks like we're missing some teammates... man, now I'm a little more worried ....


Oh, wait, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Kurusu Syo -- I'm fine with just "Syo" too.

I'm also... looking for some people here...
( as Syo browses all the names on the device carefully. It's a little overwhelming, all these unfamiliar names... )
{ Others seeing this won't be able to see the names Syo views because of the way Syo holds the device, but they can see Syo's slightly scrunched up look of concentration. }

Has anyone here ever met... Nanami Haruka? ... Shinomiya Natsuki?? [ hesitates ]

{ Would Natsuki, during an episode, have ever used the name } ... and also Shinomiya "Satsuki"?? He might have just used "Satsuki".

Or Ichinose Tokiya... [ muttering slightly to self as Syo thinks ] Or "Re" -- [ Syo had missed the earlier post -- and then Syo's eyebrows shoot up. ] Ummm, never mind that one!!

... I guess there's no chance people would know "Mikaze Ai" or any others from Quartet Night's group, huh...


... Also... Kurusu Kaoru. [ more hesitation ] Someone from... my close family line. [ smudging the details a bit on very literally having an identical twin, for now... ]
Have they ever been here?? Because if you ever hear from a "Kaoru" with blond hair and blue eyes, or just someone from the "Kurusu" family that's also from Nagoya, you should let me know right away.
They'd likely already be trying to contact me if they knew I was here, but I've not heard anything...

( There's honestly more names Syo needs to ask about when it concerns a certain idol group known as "Starish" -- and this Syo technically isn't even from the group version of it in the world this Syo comes from, but learnt about parallel timelines involving them all as time went on --
but now that Syo knows Ren is here... is this the Ren from "Starish" again too, or...?? ? )


{PRIVATE-LOCKED} (VIDEO) [ To Ren Jinguuji ]:

[ When Syo appears back on the screen, most of the Pokemon are back inside their Pokeballs, except Hayato the Meowth, curled up on the nearest soft surface "sleeping" the night away. If it's aware of the ongoing conversation, both Syo or Ren shouldn't be able to tell right away, but ]

I looked back through some of the earlier posts and found some of yours. I didn't see everything yet - but I did hear when you...


... asked people about "other worlds".


... How much do you know about... [ And here Syo inhales a small but slightly obvious Deep Breath ]:


... That place where the Pokemon come from, the "Kanto" region... or "Johto" of their world...

... Or even just a town outside from all there called -- "Holly Heights"?? ?
If anyone's told you anything about these places -- let me know...
