[Action]

[Like many people, Sakura had something special returned to her. But she didn't have any superpowerful weapons, or inhuman features. No, for her, the thing she got back was immense, raw, magical power.

Anyone in Goldenrod who's sensitive to anything unnatural will feel an intense surge, and should they choose to investigate, they'll see Sakura looking a bit winded, leaning against a nearby building as she tries to catch her breath. Surrounding her is her group of pokemon, all looking extremely worried.]

I'm okay... really... [She smiles at the creatures, trying to reassure them.] Don't worry. There are stranger things we have to look into, right?

[She turns, taking in the tall skyscrapers and the bustling crowds.]

Like finding out how we suddenly got here...

[Video]

Um... [Sakura's already seen a bunch of strange posts on the network, so she really feels like she's bothering everyone... but all the posts are so chaotic, it's hard to figure out what's up.] I know something very strange is going on... I woke up in a city I haven't visited yet. One that's at least a couple of days away.

Does anyone know the cause of all this?

*Hikari frowns, knowing exactly what Sakura is talking about.*

It happens sometimes. Things like this, I've had it happen to me twice now. It's not fun suddenly waking up and loosing three days and being in a place you weren't at before.

... Huh? What do you mean, "losing three days"?

The other times I've ended up somewhere that I wasn't at before. Usually everyone can't remember the past three days and it's three days later than it should be.

I'm surprised it's not happening right now, actually.

[She laughs nervously.] I guess you got lucky, this time. Looks like that happened to me... I'm in a city I've definitely never visited before.

*She giggles a bit as well.*

Well, I'm actually in a different town myself. I was talking about the missing days part.

Oh! Well... I suppose we can only wait and see what happens with that. The strange things only started happening today, didn't they? And you said you lost three days last time...

Yeah, that's true...

But you'd think I'd remember stuff like this.

Yeah, this seems like something that would be pretty hard to forget...

Maybe it'll be different this time?

Yeah, I'm sure it'll be different this time. I mean, how could I really forget something like what's going on now?

*You might just see a flying cow fly in the background of the video to prove Hikari's point.*

[What.]

... Um.... w-what was that?

*Hikari blinked.*

What was what?

There... there was a cow... flying... just behind you.

... There was?
