Uh-oh.

[What's this? It seems there's a 'Gear on the ground, and the little gadget appears to be recording something. What it is isn't clear at first. ...At least, until the sound of a Delibird's chirping and a Mareep's frantic attempts to wake its master up enter the feed.

Eventually, there's some shuffling around, and a noise that sounds like whoever's on the other end of the line groaning as he gets up, and the feed moves around for a moment...before -- well, doesn't that beat all. There was no light; no wonder it looked like the video feed was off. Looks like this returning, gray-haired boy has woken up in a cave somewhere in Johto...and it's probably not the place to be for a would-be reclaimer of his breeding center who's still getting his bearings back.

Eventually, he shines what little light he has on himself.]

...This is Souji...is there anyone out there able to help? I'm...not entirely sure what just happened, but it looks like I've ended up somewhere else.

Try to ally with a local Pokémon, or catch it if you have a free pokéball. They know their way around their territory, and their levels should match the rest of the wildlife.

[That's pretty much the only reason he got back to his house in less than a month.]

Allying with them shouldn't be that big an issue.

[Provided he can even see the blasted things without stumbling into them first and agitating them.]

Catching them, though, might be a bit out of the question...

[mainly because the mun completely derped on this idiot's roster. Bah. 8| That, and Level 100 Delibird. You can't catch much without making them faint outright using one of those...]

[Sadly, he completely misunderstands the 'why'.]

You can always ask them to follow you until you can reach a Pokémart. Zidane reacted surprisingly positively to that idea.
