A bright flash blinds any near the edge of some wood, and a running figure enters the world...until she trips and falls and rolls unceremoniously into a tree.
"Ow..."
"Oh my goodness...Are you alright?" Someone asks, running over to her side. The voice is one that tickles the back of her mind with a long forgotten familiarity, and so the Page of Mind looks up through the haze of a possible concussion, to see the concerned face of Professor Oak.
Through a series of questions, Samm manages to mutter her way through introductions with the old man and his Grandson, Gary. Afterwards, they walked her into town, and introduced her to a woman who was kind enough to host Samm, and let her sleep in her kids old room.
As she rests, she addresses Thoren across the Heart Container Network...but finds in her dazed state that its easier to respond by focusing on saying words outloud, thought whispered. "...fine...im fine....just...crashed into a tree.."
"...Gee, Thanks"
"Mhm...well...the people here are nice at least. Ive already got a place to rest for a bit."
"Mhm....how did your journey start?"
"Sounds...nice..."
Feeling the need to rest come upon her, and worried someone will overhear her and thing she was talking to herself, she curls up to nap.

((Ill edit in thorens side at some other point)
A few hours later was enough for her, and Samm stretched, slipping out of bed and heading downstairs.
The dark haired woman from earlier smiled at her, "Hey...Glad to see you're looking better. Hungry?"
"A little, I must have forgotten to eat breakfast..."
"Oh no, well we cant have that. Have a seat."
Samm nods. Knowing better than to argue with a mother reeady to feed you, she takes a seat, and is soon faced with a plate of eggs, bacon, and toast. This gives her pause asshe considers wether the pokemon world eats pokemon- and which pokemon these might be.
"Something wrong?"
"Oh...no. It just looks really good." She smiles to reassure the woman, and finishes opff the food, plus a glass of orange juice.
With that, she helps to wash the dishes, and starts to head out
"Oh, right...Professor oak wanted to see you when you woke up. His lab is next door."
The lab is in fact, not next door. It is a little off to the side of being next door. Regardless, Samm would make her way there. Awkwardly walking past some unknown scientists, Samm eventually finds that the professoir is not actually there...but Gary is.
Samm gives him a bit of a look as he lingers around some pokeballs on a nearby table, and is pretty dismissive of her. Alright then, she can come back later. In the meantime, she decides, she's going to see if that Odd Flower was dropped somewhere near that tree...if she remembered right, that was somewhere along the edge of the forest. And there it was, being eaten by a caterpie. Oh...shoot...well...its a good thing she got given spares. That poor caterpie.
And that was when she got her thoughts torn away by the professor yelling at her to stop. And well...she cant just say that she wasnt looking to leave, and only looking for her flower of inter-dimensional travel so so just smiles awkwardly, and follows the man dutifully to his lab, where Gary was still impatiently waiting. OPh, right...this was where she was supposed to get her pokemon. She smiles as Gary and his grandfather have a little back and forth, already knowing who her adventure partner was going to be.
So when she was given the go-ahead, shge walks right up, and picks up the pokeball labled as "Bulbasaur" (this pokemon is quite energetic)
" Ill take this one, Please"
"Oh? That was fast. Would you like to register it was a new name?"
"Hm...how about....Boris?"
Professor Oak nods his head, writing it down. However, Gary walks over to the table quickly and grabs a pokeball, "I'll take this Charmander then!"
"Yes, alright." Oak nods, not reacting much to Gary's obvious competitive spirit. Instead he looks back at Samm, "So, with your new pokemon at your side, I believe you will be safer to travel now."
Samm nods and thanks the Professor. But when she's about to leave, Gary rushes up to her, "Hey, lets have a battle with our new pokemon!"
"Oh for goodness sake" The older gentleman grumbles, "So pushy....Samm, you havent had a pokemon battle yet have you?"
"No sir, but Ive seen a few" She smiles slightly, and so the battle begins.....but ends quickly with Charmanders Scratch besting Bulbasaur with its tackle.
Professor Oak frowns some, "Hm...well, you'll need to do some training. Normally, in battles like these, you would need to pay the winner a reward. But since there was no warning here, I'll pay for you."
Gary grins as he gets handed a small amount of money. "Alright, Samm...Gramps... smell you later!"
Samm watches the kid run off, before turning to look over at the professor and raising an eyebrow. "Dont worry...keep battling, and your Bulbasaur will get stronger."
And with that, Samm makes her way out into the world with her new buddy.

=>: Everyone receive... a cupcake?
Yeap it was that day of the year again, and while the group might have been the middle of combat that didn't mean that they were unreachable to the powers of magic. there wasn't anything like a flash of light or anything flashy. Just one moment, no cupcake and then in the blink of an eye in a nearby safe spot there it would be. With the cupcakes would be some pokecakes, little cakes made for the pokemon that the trainers whom he knew, so they could also have a little treat.
((and i think that will be the last one of this same post))

After several days of setting up a camp within a protective mindfield, Samm had recieved the cupcake happily, chatted with people through the network, and wished she had been able to talk with the others, realizing now how much she cut herself off of the others. But for now, she munched on a cupcake, stashing the pokecakes away for later.
Months passed.
Things grew cold, and Samms stash of snacks and hot ramen soups was running low. She spent all of this time meditating, and occassionally taking in the feelings through the network. Until, eventually, she realized that she was possibly missing the Holiday season!
That wouldnt due, of course, so she pulled out her flower and disappeared back home to spend Redistro, and new years, with her firends and family...
Returning refreshed and pumped, Samm looks for her camp, breaks it down, and continues on with her journey.

On a night half-way through January, Samm finds herself trudging through grass.
At this point, she has gathered a Pidgey named Bridget, a Mankey named Matcha, and a kakuna named Bubee.
She had tried to check out the forest on the other side of Pewter City, but her way was blocked by a child...a fan of Brock, it seems, who was very insistant on her challenging the gym owner. Or was it one of his siblings? He was known to have a lot of those right?
Who knows....maybe she can do something for them after the battle.
But right now, she had her mind occupied by one thought. The quiet of the forest, compared against the danger of possibly beedrill?
...oh, and also, she wanted a pikachu.
She hums as she hands Boris, her bulbasaur, a pokecake she had gotten a while ago. And held one up for bridget to peck at from her shoulder. Luckily her inventory still worked here.
Since she arrived from her visit back home, Samm has been able to talk to the others in chat. But it is late at night, and whenever she has spared a moment to check, no one seemed to be active. That was fine...the world of pokemon was dangerous as it was, so samm didnt find it too wise to distract herself too often by checking.
....
AS the sky lightened, Samm began to trudge back with her mildly tired team. SHe waited for the pokemon center to open its doors, and slipped inside to get everyone healed, and a bite of breakfast. She snacked on a small loaf of bread, and a cup noodle while everyone else got their pokecakes, and an extra muffin. After breakfast, Samm idly polishes Bubee, wondering what she was going to do next.
