A little Pokéspotting, a little heroism (Crossover AU with @fenixofthedark)

[unfavorableinstigation]

Nita had been given a little more info than the last time she'd been sent to another Earth - Pokémon were real here, among other details - but the biggest thing in the précis had been the malfunctioning worldgate in a high-traffic area in a bustling city.

Said malfunctioning worldgate had hijacked her travel over there from her own New York, and now she couldn't call home. On top of that, the nature of the worldgate's malfunction meant a literal storm was brewing, darkening the sky.

She wasn't even sure if she could be expecting any help, wizard or Trainer.


She'd been dumped within half a mile of the worldgate's current location, a very loud POP! accompanying her arrival, and as much as she wanted to get back there and save everyone, she also knew she wasn't nearly prepared enough to handle this alone.

"Er, excuse me," she asked someone - their hair had caught her eye first - using the Speech to at least make it sound like she was speaking Japanese.

"Sorry about the noise. I need to get downtown in a hurry. Can you help me, please?"
