Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tommy woke up on the floor of the common room in HQ. However, he didn't know that. Drool was coming out of the corner of his mouth, and he was feeling very groggy. "Ngghh..." Tommy groaned in pain. He had a splitting headache. All he could remember was that he had Rugaji, his Swampert. Anything else was a blank; his name, his age, where he was, how he got there. Of course, the other five pokemon had already grabbed their ball and left for Tommy's room.

In this way, Tommy really did think he'd woken up in a place he shouldn't be, away from everything he knew. The skeptic rose slowly, his headache growing worse. He noticed several packs of gum on the floor, and picked several up, throwing them hastily into a seperate pocket in his bag. Ironically, this pile was actually his, a very large load of gum; the size of this pile was about 2 cubic feets' worth. He groaned a second time, and grabbed a piece of pizza from the coffee table, sitting down on the couch. He wondered who he would meet, and how in the world he would get out of the mess he had been placed in today.

Of course, this is still Tommy, so anything can happen, really. Guess we'll find out, hmm?

Tommy was startled by the sudden appearance of this mysterious man. "I... I did what now?" Tommy asked, kind of fazed. Oh well. Tommy didn't know what else to say.

Tommy's skin began to crawl as he was doused in water, closing his eyes to avoid that kind of pain, the pain of water in your eyes. He was now soaking wet. As was the couch. "...What was that for?!" Tommy shouted. He was kind of getting mad at this strange man, who had just doused Tommy in chilling water. "Wake up? I'm awake! No need for that!" Tommy went to find a towel. He then spun around. "Where are the towels?!" He asked, still kind of shouting. He was causing quite a mini-commotion.

Tommy noticed a towel drop over his head. "Oh... thank you, I guess. But I have to wonder, who are you?" Tommy stressed the word 'are' a little bit.

"I... see..." An involuntary sweatdrop escaped on the back of Tommy's head. Luckily, it was probably out of view. "Er, where is this 'establishment'?" Tommy asked, still unsure of his surroundings.

Jack rubbed his eye as he crawled out from underneath the table. Behind him was his box, filled halfway with money, the other half was contained by a brand-new computer the likes the world had never seen.

"Oh woah, he DID get my gift request!" Jack almost shouted as he jumped up and down in glee. He stole two slices of pepperoni and started noming them quickly, staring at his gift the whole time.

"Team Aqua? Like the bad guys?" Tommy still didn't understand. He looked around, and found a newspaper lying about. He read the latest article, while waiting for the answer. He was intrigued at these weird events, at the weird newspaper in general, and the weirdness of everything that happened.

"Silly news folk." Ginji laughed as he walked out into the common room.
