Senpai walked through the forest, annoyed at every tree he came into contact with.

He didn't know where he was. He didn't have any hands. And what's worse, he's with his worst enemy of all people. Or at least he thought he was.

He heard that conversation between Boyfriend and Girlfriend.

He wish he had paws or hands or anything besides feet to curl.

He felt so frustrated. There was a number of reasons why.

He had trouble controlling his own anger towards the blue haired freak.

He was in love with her. He should have been the one to sweep her off her feet.

But no.

She had to choose the annoyingly high pitched voiced guy.

Senpai sighed.

He supposed it was only his fault for being that...clingy. There really wasn't any other good word for what he is towards Girlfriend.

And now he was sulking in the middle of a forest he didn't know, looking for who knows what.

Perhaps it was help for just himself.

Or perhaps he just wanted to get himself further down this maddening hole he called life.

Senpai didn't know.

His emotions were conflicting at the moment.

He wanted so badly to be back in his video game right now. At least then he would be in a familiar environment filled with familiar plot.

He frowned.

Didn't he want to be let of there, though? Isn't this technically an upgrade?

Though it wasn't the best of upgrades, it was still more unfamiliar and more unknown.

He stopped walking, pausing when he heard a voice shouting through the forest.

A weird bird with some sort of—Senpai was very much quite perplexed at the sight of the bird that's for sure.

It looked like a vulture, but it had some sort of rock or bone diaper on?

What the fuck?!

Senpai had no idea what he was dealing with.

This was some sort of...magical world. That's the best he can come up with anyways.

Maybe it wasn't the worst thing to not have arms?

Senpai smiled, though he didn't know his head was literally his mouth, so it felt weird to smile.

At least if this was some sort of magical world where bones are diapers, then perhaps he had something to help him deal with not having arms.

He supposed it couldn't hurt to at least try to look on the bright side.

The blue haired freak was also dealing with the same problems he was.

It was kind of funny to look at him. His tongue was sticking out half the time.

Back to the voice anyways.

It wasn't Girlfriend. It wasn't Boyfriend. It wasn't even whoever that black-and-purple snake was.

Senpai shivered.

There was something really odd about that snake, but then again he was being a hypocrite because he was also odd.

At least in his games.

The voice didn't sound like any of those three sorts of voices.

He could hear the lush greenery move around in the background.

He turned around as a purple-white...again he had no idea what it was.

It was standing on two feet looking like some sort of animal. Wasn't a dog at least. Nor was it his thousands of fans.

Then again, why would he find any of his fans in the forest?

He was lucky to even be stranded who knows where with the people, as aggravating as they were, he at least knew a little bit. Plus that other guy he's never met before.

"Hey! Wait!" The creature called out as Senpai turned around and continued on his way to nowhere.

He didn't feel like talking to strangers.

"I don't have time to wait." He told the pokemon.

He had no idea who this was.

He wasn't ready to socialize with the creatures of this realm just yet.

The Pokémon continued to follow him, relentless in their pursuit.

Senpai had no idea why this Pokémon was chasing him.

Curious about why this Pokémon was chasing him, he stopped right as the purple-white mouse, rat, shrew, or whatever it was, cut him off by dashing in front of him.

Whatever it was, it was fast.

His stubby green plant legs might also have something to do with it.

The Pokémon, or in his case the strange purple creature, sighed. He seemed relieved Senpai stopped walking away.

"Phew. I thought I wouldn't catch up. You're fast for a little Budew."

Senpai gave him a confused look.

He didn't bother to tell this creature he had no idea what he was nor did he know what this creature was.

Certainly, this creature could only be called a monster as he had no idea what it was, nor what it could look like.

Green as far as the eye can see stretched up for miles around the two.

This forest was dense with vegetation.

Wait a second, could I be walking vegetation? What makes me any different than the plants out here? Shouldn't that mean the plants and trees here can walk too? Or shouldn't they be able to?

The purple-white creature in front of him spoke some more.

"Anyways, I saw you were walking around. You seem lost. Do you know where you live?" The creature asked him with worry.

Senpai found him weird.

"What—who are you exactly?" Senpai wondered, staring blankly at the creature.

"Oh. Me? I am Eiginnte. It's nice to meet you...uh you're name isn't just Budew is it? That would be awfully sad." The creature introduced, holding out his white paw in what seemed to be a somewhat semi-friendly handshake.

Senpai felt like gagging.

This Pokémon was way too friendly.

Then again, he supposed he did look like he was in trouble, ambling about.

Maybe the creatures of this world are just way more friendlier than the ones in his. One of which, trapped him in a game for a long time until just now.

Oh how he wanted revenge on the one who made that his fate for all eternity, hearing the dumb sounds of eight bit music while doing the same thing over and over, forced to fall in love with whoever came his way.

By this point he was crazy over it.

Maybe it's for the best I'm here anyways. At least they won't trap me in a video game for a long time while laughing at my fate.

He shivered. He hated that experience. It scared him. Thinking about it now made him have flashbacks about it.

The creature in front of him snapped his fingers in front of his face.

Senpai snapped out of it, shaking his head slightly, getting back to what was happening.

He cleared his throat.

"Sorry, sir. I didn't quite remember what you asked." He remarked, unsure of his words.

He was usually better at it, but the whole dimension swap thing caught him off guard, and seeing an unfamiliar face wasn't helping.

The creature seemed slightly annoyed.

Then again, it kinda always looked annoyed.

"I was asking if you had a name stranger." The creature reminded him.

"Oh, my name is Senpai. It's, uh, a weird name I know, but that's what they call me." Senpai introduced as the creature stared at him.

"Do you know where you are, Senpai?" Eiginnte wondered as he grabbed the Budew by the shoulder.

At least now Senpai knew what he was.

The question was still what a Budew even was or what kind of monstrous creatures he seems to be able to talk to.

They must all be related in some fashion because they knew how to speak to one another like humans did.

Or at least, Senpai could speak to them without any sort of language barrier. Now that's skill. Or at least a convenience for him.

It sure was a surprising thing anyways.

It probably would have been harder to talk to these creatures if he wasn't already able to talk like them.

Talk about an amazing feat!

Do I know where I am? No.

He figured lying to this cretin would be not ideal.

This dude was pretty dumb to be this trusting of him this fast, but Senpai felt something from him that made him want to tell him the truth.

He shook his head.

Why would he know where he is if he's stuck in a different universe?

This creature, of course, wouldn't know that. He looks like an everyday 'Budew' to him.

He did not know what that was, but hearing the word bud made him assume he was some sort of moving plant.

He also heard dew and ew, but Senpai didn't want to focus on that.

He didn't look like dew or something the creatures around here would say ew to either.

Or at least he hoped. He was used to looking far more attractive than others.

The creature in front of him known as Eiginnte just chuckled.

"I figured. The way you walked told me everything."

The way this creature spoke was odd. Almost sinister, but Senpai figured he was just judging too fast like he always did.

If he was going to get back to his world he would have to get on these creatures' good side. That much he knew.

He didn't need to be super chummy with this guy, but he needed to be tolerable enough for them to help him.

Senpai gave him a questioning glance, but then replied, "So can you help me?"

The creature nodded.

"Of course I can help you! I'll take you to my brother. He will and his squad will be able to help you out. They've done this sort of thing before."

Senpai nodded, going with the flow of things.

The creature, whatever it was, lead the way with intense brown eyes.

Senpai squinted, managing to see blue marks underneath the eyes.

The walk to this guy's brother was the perfect chance to get familiar with how he looked.

He was bipedal, walking on two feet. He overlooked that when they met. He walked exactly like a human did. It almost felt unnatural.

He had a white face, and a pear shaped body, which Senpai never thought he would have compared any body to.

This creature had white hands and feet that had three digits on them like Boyfriend's. He had some kind of up turned spiral horns and blue markings in between each of his eyes.

Now that Senpai thought of it, this guy kind of looked like an animalistic form of a butler. Senpai wouldn't mention it to Eiginnte, though.

The walk was shorter than Senpai hoped, but he found himself walking towards some sort of yellow rabbit.

Darker yellow striped his long bunny ears and the tip of his three digit toes.

"Oh hey, Chocolate!" The rabbit greeted Eiginnte.

Eiginnte groaned with a roll of his eyes.

"Kagis, ugh. This is why I rarely visit. You always say that name instead of my actual one." The creature remarked.

The bunny winked.

"Yeah. Your reaction is hilarious each time. Anyways, who's your friend?" Kagis asked with a huge grin at Senpai.

Is everyone friendly here, or what? Senpai wondered with a sweatdrop.

Senpai was never one to be smothered with kindness. Especially from Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest.

Senpai wondered how they were doing. Must be upset their daughter is gone at least.

"Oh! Kagis, meet Senpai. And yeah that's his name. He's not my senpai. My senpai will always be that random wandering Galarian Yamask." Eiginnte introduced, indicating towards Senpai with a paw.

Senpai smiled shyly and waved.

He really needed to get used to the strange looking creatures of this world.

He still adored the attention he was getting, though. It made his heart race with excitement.

"I found him lost in the woods. It's a good thing I found him when I did." Eiginnte continued. "Who knows what kind of Noctowl would swoop him up for breakfast. Heh."

"Indeedee it is a good thing you did." The yellow bunny remarked with a cheeky smile and wink, stretching over on one side while doing so.

Eiginnte stared at him, unamused.

"Don't patronize me." He remarked plainly.

This just ensued another pun from this strange bunny, who was curling and uncurling his paws during the whole process.

"Oh, Eiginnte, don't be a Scornbunny. Puns are great!"

The bunny winked again.

Eiginnte just groaned.

"That Marowak was correct in trying to keep you away from his Cubone brother. Can't believe those weirdos are from a different dimension entirely. It's insane." Eiginnte remarked.

This made Senpai perk up.

From another dimension? Could those two brothers be from my world? I don't remember any pair of brothers. I could ask Boyfriend if he knows or Girlfriend. But that's quite interesting.

"Wait! Did you say from another dimension?" Senpai wondered.

The two Pokémon turned to him like he had cotton in his ears.

"Yes. It's quite shocking isn't it?" Eiginnte wondered with a small smile.

"No." Senpai replied.

The two gazed at him in both confusion and curiosity.

"What ever do you mean?" Kagis asked him with a sparkle in his eyes.

The Budew cleared his throat.

"I mean, it's not surprising because I'm also from another dimension." Senpai revealed.

Immediately both Pokémon had their jaws wide open.

"Well, you don't hear that every day." Kagis commented with a cheeky grin.

"You don't say," Eiginnte replied in a monotone voice.

++++++++++++

Author's Note: alright that's technically chapter two.

Anyways what do you think of the two—well not really new, but they're still pretty new...anyways what do you think of them? Kagis and Eiginnte?

I do have more new characters to introduce though, but yeah.

Anyways I hope you enjoyed. I totally enjoyed those puns a little too much. Next chapter is back on Pico. And like I said I will be introducing at least one more new character...new to the overall oc area of my account. Lol.
