[Ethan's on the hunt.

For food, actually, because he's pretty far away from the Pokémon Center and there's a rumbly in his tumbly. He should've packed something with him before venturing out so far, probably, but well. ETHAN forgot FORESIGHT, to put it simply.

So with an equally hungry Ampharos at his side, the two are searching high and low for edible berries of some sort, or possibly even a river for some fish. Ampharos probably shouldn't get too close to that river, though.]

Man... I didn't think finding some food in this place would be this hard. Think we should just give up and try to head back?

[Ampharos isn't paying attention. Instead, she perks up at the sound of something rustling in the trees and immediately zaps it with a light Thundershock. It could be food! Or something that is carrying food! You don't know!

In reality, it's an unfortunate you. Oh no. :(]

Not at all.

I'm used to getting electrocuted. [The Pikachu on his shoulder seems to agree, though sheepishly.]

[feelsgoldman]

[And suddenly Ethan is hit by the strongest sense of deja vu ever.]

Hey--wait, you look familiar.

[Familiar, but different? But mostly the same? what is going on]

... Ash?

[championed]

[This one does seem a bit older, doesn't he?]

Yes? Did we meet before?

[feelsgoldman]

[Don't mind Ethan as he steps a little closer to peer at him.]

We met just a few days ago, when I first got here! You didn't have a Pikachu though. And you seem... different?

[This place never runs out of mysteries, seriously!]

[championed]

You probably met a different version of me. [Pikachu will go ahead and peer back]

It seems like there're a couple of them running around.

[feelsgoldman]

Oh. [BECAUSE THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING]

Must be weird meeting a different version of yourself, huh? [and then Ethan proceeds to get that chance later. funny how that works!] I mean, I guess we don't know each other then. I'm Ethan, from New Bark Town!

[championed]

You get used to it after a while.

Nice to meet you. I'm Ash, from Viridian. [Well, technically from Pallet. But he did move!]
