Wherein a certain young lady is brought to a world that is not her own,
And a certain young man is not sure what to make of her.

Hmm... [Kris closes her eyes for a moment, looking thoughtful. She nods to herself, tucking a stray piece of hair behind an ear, and opens her eyes.] I own HM8. Most Water Types are capable of learning Dive... if you have one on hand, I would be happy to lend it to you long enough for one of them to learn the move.

[...Say what.]

[tsuntrader]

[No really, wh-] I don't have any way to repay you.

[legendchaser]

[She shakes her head.]

Don't worry about it... after all, HMs can be used multiple times.

[tsuntrader]

[Well. Uh. He looks over at Feraligatr. No, Feraligatr's his surfer. ...Maybe Feraligatr could be his surfer and diver.

And then he pulls out two more Pokéballs. Or maybe Gyarados. Gyarados would be really good for underwater diving... Except he's also really big, so maybe not... Then... Kingdra? ...Hmm...]

[legendchaser]

[... ... ?

There's something off about those Pokeballs... and there's something strangely nostalgic about a red haired boy who trained a Feraligatr...]

[tsuntrader]

[...Screw it, he's just going to let Gyarados and Kingdra out and look over to... The blue haired girl that looks a lot like Crys. They both hang out next to Feraligatr.]

...Would you mind if I used it a few times? [They're out to prove his point. ...It doesn't really cross his mind that his Gyarados might attract attention due to his red color, nor does it cross his mind that it's strange to just let out his entire team outside of his ace in the hole in front of a stranger.]

[legendchaser]

Not at all... [Feraligatr. Kingra. A shiny Gyarados... how unusual. She never expected to see another with that coloration again.] Hmm.

[She shrugs off her knapsack. Inside her TM pocket are four small cases, each neatly labeled. She pulls out the one labeled "Hoenn."]

[tsuntrader]

[...Huh. She's pretty organized. Silver keeps quiet and keeps making little observations while occasionally glancing back at his Pokémon.]

[legendchaser]

[She's not just pretty organized- she is ruthlessly organized.]

Ah, here we are. [She hands him the HM.] HM 8: Dive.

[tsuntrader]

[But is everything in fives?

...Why would it be in fives? ...It feels like it should be in fives...]

...Thanks. [Come here guys, you're all going to learn Dive today. The beauty of HMs is that they're reusable. if only all TMs could be reusable... Maybe one day, in some technologically advanced region far away from here or something crazy like that.]
