Pandora woke up with one arm in a lake. She opened up her eyes, looking up at the sky.
"… I knew professor Jim was crazy, but forgetting to build a roof? Doesn't that take it a bit too far?…" She rolled over to her right, trying to get up, but when she tried pushing her hands against the ground, she ended up throwing herself into the water.
"Oh… My… Gosh… EWWW!!!!" She shrieked, flailing around in the very shallow water.
"EWW EWW OHMIGOSH OHMIGOSH OHMIGOSH!!! AHHH IT'S ALL SLIMEY!!! AHHH!!" Just then, she was pulled up by a young woman who she recognized as her mother.
"EWW MOM IT WAS ON ME!!" She shrieked loudly. Julia simply shed a laugh, thinking about her first time in the pokemon world.
"EWW OH MY GOSH IT'S A GIANT BLUE KILLER-RAT! DID IT TOUCH ME!? IT TOUCHED ME EWW!!" Seeing everyone crowding around a sign, Julia decided to do the same. It looked very different compared to the last time she was there…
"C'mon Pandy, let's go check it out…"
"BUT WHERE ARE WE!?" She shrieked again, trying to shake off the water that had sunk into her clothing. Julia leaned over the tiny heads of the younger people,
"Looks like we're in Newbark…" She wondered whether or not she should tell the kids where they all were, or if she should pretend she doesn't know what's going on either.
"Okay guys, let's stay here for a few more minutes and see if anyone else will arrive, okay? We should stick together, considering what's just happened, alright?" Julia stated in a loud tone, hoping none of the locals would hear.

Conner and Abby rolled onto the ground side-by-side. Conner immediately stood up, looking around.
"… Little help here?" Abby stated, holding out her arm. Conner chuckled and pulled her up, seeing everyone crowd around a sign.
"Where could we be?…"
"Forget where we are, Pandy, Hunter, and Aunt Julez are over there! Let's go!" Abby quickly ran to the sign, seeing everyone mutter and mumble to each other. Conner observed the group, recognizing all of them from the lab.
