Welcome to Gaia! ::

Marvelous Bridge would eventually end, the pair stepping out of a gate and onto a starkly different area, a rocky land with steep cliffs, bridges connecting them and a light mist blanketing it all.

Almost as soon as the pair made it onto the route a horn would blare, followed by the sound of what seemed like a thousand screeching demons. From beyond the mist would come a swarm of Mankey rushing over the bridge in front of them. It wasn't clear where they came from but they seemed very disoriented and very angry. With Leslie and Keiko being the first living things they came upon to let their aggression out on they attack, numerous of them descending upon the Snagems to chop, kick, and scratch.

Leslie would stare at the swarm of Mankey now rushing towards them before scrambling to grab a Pokeball. "Grunt, Rock Tomb!" Leslie barked, scrambling on top of the Onix. The Rock type would respond by slapping its tail on the ground, a flurry of rocks and stones jutting up from the ground to dismay and damage the Mankey in hopes they would just go the hell away.

"Natalia, quick, blow those Manky above Leslie away with Ominous Wind!" Keiko shouted.

Natalia flapped her wings at the Hi-Kick-ing Mankeys, but instead of them being blown away by wind, an eerie gray cloud flowed into them, chock-full of Ghost-type energy. The move wouldn't be super-effective, but with any luck, it would make them miss their target.

The Omnious Wind would sweep one Mankey off its path, the ape just kicking the ground and quickly scurrying off after it missed. The other was not deterred and it connected with Leslie's ponytail, the Mankey hurting its self and to a lesser degree Leslie. The Mankey wouldn't hang around though, that was some tough skin and it wasn't keen to try and crack it as it left with all the others, fleeing into the wild.

"Interesting. The local Pokedex indicates that Mankey are not native to this route, or any route in Unova for that matter." GRAY spoke up.

Most people would have rationally looked at the situation and questioned the fact that non-native species had just tried to attack them. Most people would have called this odd. Leslie was not most people. "Come back here, you overgrown puffballs and face your indignity with courage! Stop running away, you poop flinging savages!" Leslie ranted at the retreating Mankey, ponytail visibly salivating as it bent to face the Fighting types.

"Probably not as low as yours would be after I got done swapping your operating system with OSX, meanie," Keiko retorted. "Or I could swap your OS with Linux instead and poorly compile a kernel. At the very least, it would shut you up for a while."

Keiko sighed after saying that, and regained her composure. "Come on, Leslie. We don't have time to waste arguing with an inconsequential AI."

"The insults in this team are so original. Constant threats of operating system replacement. I'm shaking in my RAM." GRAY mocked them. If he had eyes to roll he would probably be rolling them right about now.

Leslie and Keiko would be on their way, the pair crossing over bridges and climbing up stone steps. The pair would pass by a building a sign declared to be the 'Poke Transfer Lab'. Is that where the Mankey came from? Didn't matter, they had more important things to worry about.

Eventually the canyon would give way to a beautiful lush forest, the stone path gradually becoming a dirt one and then a grass. The forest was teeming with lfie as all sorts of Pokemon could be heard chirping and crying out. An unassuming sign would inform them that they were in White Forest. What a pleasant place this was.
