Well, I guess now is a good time to start my travel journal. Today was my second day traveling the world. Unfortunately, it isn't my world. I do not know who will read this, though hopefully it will be my family when I get back home. I currently don't know how or why, but I've been pulled into not only a different region, specifically going from Hoenn to Sinnoh, but into a different universe, as have several other people, and none of us know how to get home. The only lead we have is a hunch from the professor of this region.

I have not had a chance to speak with most of the people I'm stuck here with, but most of them seem friendly at least. There's some tension between a few of them, but that's to be expected when a group is cobbled together without people knowing one another. The only people I've really had a conversation with is the group leader, Sophie, though I have exchanged a few words with the others, just... not much. The only thing I'm not particularly fond of so far, aside from the tension, is my role. I'm supposed to be the team doctor, but I have almost no experience with anything along those lines. I've taken care of a kid who is now nine and that's it, I don't know if I'm ready for this kind of responsibility, not for a group this large.

On a lighter note, I am actually getting to have a pokemon journey like I'd always hoped. Professor Rowan gave me a Chimchar, the fire-type starter, and so far I have caught four pokemon not native to Hoenn, known as Shinx, Starly, Bidoof, and Kricketot, as well as one pokemon that I did actually recognize, being Zubat. Honestly, not a bad group, though fairly weak when set against rock- and ground-types

As for what each day has entailed so far, it has been insane. Yesterday, I woke up in the freezing cold in Twinleaf Town where I met some of the new members of the group while we were all confused about our situation. During that time we managed to get caught up in the dealings of a Team Magma-esque group and drew the attention of Professor Rowan, who sheltered us for the night. Today we made our way from Sandgem Town, where Professor Rowan lives, to Jubilife City. There we got what appears to be a more advanced version of the pokenav to help us on our journey. Afterwards we made our way north to Oreburgh City, and barely got into town before nightfall. This is where the Sinnoh region’s first gym is, and I’m planning on challenging the gym tomorrow morning.

Frankly, I'm nervous about that challenge as I haven't done much training. Hopefully I can get some decent training in tomorrow and, at the very least, put up a good fight. And on that note, I'm going to head to bed so that I can be up early enough to try.
