(A/N: Just a slice of life thing while Neon J makes the portal. Enjoy!)

(My POV)

After Sayu showed me around the house Tatiana had provided her after she ACTUALLY BECAME REAL THANKS TO DJSS, she sat me down on her couch, sitting down next to me. I looked down. I didn't know how long it was gonna be until I was able to go home.

"Here's a charger for that phone of yours," Sayu said, handing me a portable charger for my phone. I plugged my phone to it, and, this texting conversation happened:

Mom: Joshua, are you okay?

Me: I'm fine. Although you won't BELIEVE where I am now.

Mom: Where?

Me: Vinyl City, from No Straight Roads, I kid you not. *insert picture of the view Sayu and I had from her roof*

Mom: Woah, okay, okay. That's...

Me: Yeah. Also this- *insert selfie of me and Sayu*\

Mom: I assume Sayu's taking care of you until you find a way back?

Me: Yeah. At least I don't have to wear a mask...

Mom: All I ask is that you have fun.

Me: Damn right I will.

After that, Sayu took me on a tour of Vinyl City. I found that there were actually Pokestops at different places, and a few Gyms at places like Club Planetarium. I spun them, put in a Pokemon for the Gyms, and we circled back to Sayu's house. After that, she asked what my interests were besides NSR and Pokemon. I replied with the other three, with a warning that they weren't as great as the two she had seen. They were Mario, Sonic, and Pokemon. "Huh, I like those too! We'll get along great!" A smile formed on my face.

This was really only meant to be a slice of life chapter, so I didn't intend for it to be as long. But I hope ya'll enjoyed anyway! Next chapter, first battle!
