The pair appeared in the center of the city, surprised at the amount of technolagy they could see. "Destinos, I didn't think it could possably be this advanced. Although, to my people, this is prehistoric, but it would work until we get to a better place!"

Ho-oh, still in human form, came jogging up behind them. Other people milled about, the snow crunching beneath their feet, paying no heed the strange trio.

"What is this town called? And what is your currency here? Would ours work, I wonder?" Destinos appeared exited to start a new adventure, while Astros was more cautous.
"I don't know what it's called or if our currency would work. Even though we have millions on Harph, we have no idea how much that is here."

"Welcome to Pokeopolis," Ho-oh said. "As for currency, I doubt yours would work since you're not from this planet. Can we rest for a moment? Being in this form takes a lot of energy and with it being winter, evne for a Fire type like me, it takes a lot of energy to stay warm."

"Fire type?"
"What's that?"
They both looked like Ho-oh was messing with them. As they stood there, looking around, the people who stopped to look at them made them confused.

Ho-oh sighed as he sat down, his head in his hands. He shook his head. He might be good at dealing with Pokemon, but he wasn't good at dealing with people....or something close to that effect. This...is not going to be easy... he thought with a sigh. A girl with long black hair and green eyes walked over, followed by a girl who could've nearly been her twin if not for her aqua eyes. "Hey, Moe." Ho-oh looked up and the girl with aqua eyes.
"Ombreon, thank goodness," he muttered. "Who's this with you?"
"Jasmine. Aquaintence of Kiki's. I'm showing her 'round the city," Ombreon said. "And who's with you?" She jabbed her thumb over her shoulder at Destinos and Astros.
"Not a clue really..." he muttered. "Aliens."
"That's for sure." Ombreon's voice had a whimsical tone to it as she looked at them.
"I'm getting out of here," Ho-oh muttered as he assumed his normal form, then took off.

Astros jolted as Ho-oh talked with others, then took off. "I knew it! That creature led us into a trap!"
"Not, Astros, don't be so judgemental. Even if he did, how is he to know of my other features? And your strategies are the best in the universe. If it does come to a fight, we can easily take them."

"Fight? Don't count on it." Ombreon put a hand on her hip and raised an eyebrow. "And it's no trap. He's just not good at dealing with non-Pokemon. I'm a lot better because I've been around them my whole life... Well, two lives, but that doesn't matter much. You can call me Ombreon or Crystal; whichever you perfer. I'd kind of perfer Ombreon."
"You don't have to worry," Jasmine said, her voice a musical, like a tinkling bell. "Ho-oh and Ombreon and well aquainted. They share the same trainer. Kiki'd rip their heads off if they were impolite."
"Especially mine." Ombreon chuckled at her joke. "But I swear on my Ukati... Er, that is, my set of morals that guide me that this isn't a trap of any sort."
"Whenever one swears on their Ukati, they won't go back on their word," Jasmine said. "It's like a binding contract. If you break it, you'll want to kick yourself in the butt."

"I trust them, Astros. After all, you did wish for something exiting to do. I mean, look at this place! It's like a view into the ancient world!"
"You are, and always will be, an explorer. You never cease to amaze me. Trusting shifty-looking characters like them. This Kiki, she's your leader? Then, hopefully not sounding too cliche, take us to this leader."

"Kiki isn't our leader; she's a friend," Ombreon said, her voice hard and her gaze steely.
"Chill, Chrys," Jasmine warned, knowing how out of hand Ombreon's anger could get if Kiki was insulted in front of her.
"Yeah. We just left her in a cafe not too long ago. She's still there, no doubt, with how cold it is. Come on." Ombreon jerked her head sharply as she began to walk.
Jasmine fell into step beside Astros and Destinos. "We aren't shady," she said. "We seem strange to you, but you seem strange to us. Mind you, you're new to this planet and don't know the customs, so I wouldn't go picking fights or anything. Especially with Chrys." She motioned to Ombreon. "She could probably hold her own against you considering the fact she's 1300 years old."

"Bah, that's young. I'm 1500 Harph years. Although I don't know what that is in these years..." He followed them, but he had his hand on the blaster strapped to his side the whole time.
(1 Harph year = 1 earth month. you do the math)

[125 is what I got]
"Judging from your memories, I'd say you'd go through twelve of your years in one of ours. That'd make you only 125 in Earth years," Jasmine said. "She's got you beat by a long shot. Not to mention the fact she knows every single Pokemon attack and a good bank of spells..." She trailed off as they entered the cafe. Kiki was sitting at a table, staring out the window. She blinked when Ombreon and Jasmine approached.
"Hey guys," she said cheerfully, then looked at the strange duo accompanying them. "Who're they?"

"You are their leader, are you not?" Astros asked. "They already said no! Stop that!" Destinos said to Astros, then turned to Kiki. "I am Destinos, and this is Astros. We crashed on this planet, and are trying to get our ship back into working order."

"That's definitely diferent," she said. "I've heard of people getting stranded in this Dimension, but not crashlanding on this planet." She shrugged it off, clearly used to weird ideas. "Well, until then, I could help you find a place to call your own." She twirled a pencil (that seemingly came from thin air) in her fingers, then tapped it on her chin. "I've got enough money to find you any place really."

"We need something large, big enough to hide a starship. We'll take you there, so you can see it, if you like." Destinos said, ignoring Astros, who was saying "So weird, a planet without a chain of command. How did they ever get this far?"

"We manage," Kiki said, then she grunted. "This dimension's a hell of a lot better than the damned 1st Dimension, though."
[In my little world, our dimension is the 1st]

"Really? This is way under the other planet's standards. I guess that's why it's not on our Intergalactic map." Destinos commented, as though he was interested by the fact there was a place worse than this.
"Oh, please, don't send us there!" Astros cried, hiding behind Destinos, as though he was afraid she would open a portal anytime.

"Don't worry," Kiki said. "I only ever go back there if I need to manipulate reality." She shrugged. "I hate that place with a fiery passion. I'd never send somebody there to suffer like I did. Plus, the humans there would be really freaked out by you guys since you're aliens. But most of the people around here are pretty cool with stuff like this. Reason being this is a haven for outcasts like myself."

"Outcasts? OH, this place is worse than I thought! It's a cess pool for criminals!" Astros said, looking at Ombrion expecially.
"Now, just because they are outcasts, doesn't mean they are criminals." Destinos commented, "Now, Kiki, was it, do you wish to see our ship?"

"I guess," Kiki said. "Relax!" The command was ordered toward Ombreon, who was clearly angry with Astros' comment. "We're not criminals. By that, I meant people that don't fit in with normal society. Like me. I'm half Fairy. I'm sure you've already heard a little about that from Ombreon, Jaz and Ho-oh." With that, she stood up and revealed silver wings.
(If you've played Tales of Symphonia, they look like the angel wings except silver)

"wow, how unimpressive. Now this, on the other hand..." As he spoke, he used his Telekinesis to gather silverwear from the tables and began making it move around him like a tornado. "Astros, stop showing off." To Kiki, he said, "I think those are impressive."
Teleportation Activated
Destinos teleported them all to the crashed ship, in the desert.
(like my new idea? I'm making color-coded messages for the inner computer)
