The Grand Opening

[driftingmods]

[A large WELCOME sign is hanging from the buildings when you walk into Levanta Town, but that seems to be the only sign that today is any different than any other day. The villagers are simply going about their daily business. However, if they are approached they are more than happy to explain the region as well as they can to any new arrivals.

Welcome to Levanta Town in The Drifting Land!]

[Purple hair... purple hair... Why did that seem so familiar? A slightly older looking Ash is staring at you, Paul.]

[battlestandby]

[Okay...

Now Paul's wondering if he was transported forward in time. Ash is quite distinct in appearance but he's so...]

Ash...?

[notinmtsilver]

[Your name is... Ash doesn't remember it.

Shoot.]

Hey! How's it goin'?

[battlestandby]

How can you be so casual? Don't you see something wrong with this picture?

[notinmtsilver]

What's wrong with it? [Other than your hair color-- but it's pokemon! That's normal.]

[battlestandby]

Ash, we're supposed to be the same age.

[notinmtsilver]

We are? [... Who are you?]

[battlestandby]

Stop playing dumb.

[notinmtsilver]

I... really don't remember you.

I'm sorry.

[battlestandby]

You're saying you don't remember your Sinnoh journey at all?

[notinmtsilver]

No, I remember Sinnoh. That was... six years ago.

[battlestandby]

Six years ago...?!

[notinmtsilver]

Yeah. It's been a while.

[battlestandby]

What's going on? Did I travel forward in time? Did you travel back? This is ridiculous.

[notinmtsilver]

No, they said we were on The Drifting Land.

I dunno about time travel though.

[battlestandby]

... I can't believe you'd just... forget me so easily!

[notinmtsilver]

It's been six years! It wasn't like I traveled with you. [Hell, the gym leaders are kind of fuzzy too. What order did he go at them in?]

[battlestandby]

You can't remember a rival?

[notinmtsilver]

Six years!

[battlestandby]

You don't even remember how you got your Infernape?

[notinmtsilver]

... ... ... Paul?

[battlestandby]

Finally.

[notinmtsilver]

You're so short. [WHAT IS TACT]

[battlestandby]

... Hmph. You still like to point out the obvious. But you were shorter than me when we were the same age.

[notinmtsilver]

Doesn't matter now, does it?

How've you been since the League? I haven't run into you.
