She has gotten no name from whatever strange trainer has caught her - no, actually, freed her from the safari zone, but that doesn't mean that the Torchic would care that much about it. There is only so much time she has before the trainer might catch up on that she ran away (was literally left behind in the care of another) and there is just so much ... emotions inside.[break]

A boiling, brooding volcano that threatens to erupt.[break]

It's only when he (believes to) hears the voice of a familiar acquaintance that a moment of relief of this exceedingly unfamiliar experience washes over him, though it doesn't last for as long since they are still pursued by a Genesect kind of thing and all that stuff that comes with it. There is simply not enough screams in the world that could fill his lungs at this point, familiarly unfamiliar - unfamiliarly familiar with the kind of pressure that weighs down on his body as they reach speeds that he thought would be impossible. Is that what the future holds? A little shocking, really.[break]
[break]
"So, err, can I count on you to have my back-?" he just manages to shout back before things go down very fast, very quickly. He barely has time to process, left alone follow, and is only glad that the Cyclizar he is riding is knowing what to do, following the other through the busy highway with similar - the same motions as disaster unfolds, too.[break]
[break]
Coming to an abrupt halt, his legs aren't shaking as much as he thought when he jumps off the Cyclizar, his pride a little scratched from that shaking experience. But as they are now faced with juggernauts that are decidedly unfriendly ... he tries to grab Josh by the arm, running - hiding - running whenever possible, muttering, "we are definitely getting out of here, my friend-" Certainly, he has no fighting skills, but there is a chilling realisation that he definitely does not have it in himself to test whether or not the simulation gave him any battle prowess.

"-Yes, I think those should be worth a try! Let me see ..." With some good-hearted trial-and-error and the help of this - Fuecoco-esque cosplayer (?) - enthusiast (?) - he won't even question it (yet) -, they manage to find enough scrap metal pieces that seem to work together, and if nothing else, Xuying is quite good at improvisation, one would say. He also decides to pull out his partners, although the Porygon-Z is as useless as ever, while the shiny Rotom strangely refuses to get into the device when its usually so enthusiastic about things. It's at that point that he hears Andrea's question, looking at her curiously, "Unown? I think ... I did, but what about them?"[break]
[break]
It's when the voice suddenly starts up, reminding him painstakingly of that one professor he had during his university days, but ... this is definitely not them. It's much more - he doesn't even know if he wants to think about it. "... D-do you know anything about this? Uhm, actually, what should we do with it?" He knows they just repaired it, but there is also an uncanny feeling of taking it with them when the voice has already been so ominous about it. Or maybe he's wrong?

Xuying looks at the other through a ruby-coloured, transparent chunk of the stone he's analysing by pure sight right now, determined to bring it back to the Sturmes' Turmes current quarters in Hoenn to perhaps run some chemical tests before he puts it aside, properly looking at the unfamiliar duo. Not only does the Pokémon have quite a ... strange kind of appearance, of something he has definitely not seen before, he is also rather unfamiliar with the person that introduces him as champion and gym leader. But ... hey, wait, that probably means that they are strong, right? He stands up in a jiffy, patting off the dust of his pants before he wipes off the dust on his pants (did his actions bring any merit? One could only speculate), offering a hand to the other.[break]
[break]
"Pleasure to meet you and - uhh - Raikou, was it?" he looks over, internally running calculations and scouring through his mind for why the name sounds familiar, "it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is - Xuying, Xuying Zhou, or Zhou Xuying, as I would say, but you can also just call me XY, or XYZ." He pockets the rock as he pauses for a moment before trying to choose his next words carefully, "since ... we are both looking for something, so to speak, how about teaming up? I'm not the best fighter, to be honest, and since you mentioned you're a champion and gym leader ... Company is always nice, isn't it?" Is he making too large jumps in logic? Probably. But he delivers it with a smile, packaged in confidence, though deep down, he also is quite aware that it's a little bit of a wonder he has survived collecting the five rocks he had managed to gather thus far.

Just as his mind wanders to whether or not they should cook together, so at least he can enjoy a celebratory feast after they even did something together (win-win, he would say!), another Pokémon crosses their paths. It takes a while until it clicks that this must be a Torchic, and a pretty fierce one at that. Whereas the Treecko has sneaked upon him, she is placing herself right into his path with a Fight me!! attitude that doesn't seem like it will rest until she hasn't hit something at least once.[break]
[break]
He looks at her again. ... Or kicked something, probably. It seems that his thoughts are taking too much time - too little action that he feels a kick to his shin deeply, bending over in pain. A total wildcard, as it seems. "Hey, what's that for-" he can only shout in irritation as she already disappears in bright light - and left is only a safari ball on the ground.[break]

It doesn't take long until Xuying and company are encountering the first unfamiliar Pokémon - a Treecko that seems to have sneaked up on them quite so, but Y the Rotom is quick to react with a Shock Wave as X the Metagross is attacking with a Psychic. Quickly, their trainer is making use of the moment to throw one of the safari balls he was given, hopefully ensuring his first catch as he hums to himself.[break]
[break]
"Nice ... one down, then," he looks through his notebook and writes a few words to it. Something worth to celebrate? Maybe in the end, he'll get his team something nice to ... do. It's not like they understand the same thing under 'food' after all, so ... team-building activities? Hm ... he'll have to workshop that reward question for sure.

Frankly, coming to Hoenn and he hasn't expected to be met with this many surprises and changes all around from his familiar environment, he is quite ... flabberghasted. Astonished. Intrigued. And, in this very special moment ... also quite endangered. Only dodging barely from an attack from some unknown force, he is quick to summon his entire force of three Pokémon, the X, Y and Z coming out and together.[break]
[break]
"Somewhat? It's no funny business, though ... what the heck is that even?" he shouts over to Katharina. It seems like the creature is already enraged, so there is no use in concealing themselves much more, or so he thinks. In the meanwhile, his Pokémon are operating on their own, firing different attacks of both defensive and offensive nature at the shining threat.

It isn't like Xuying wouldn't be somewhat familiar with cold weather. Unova can be pretty cold if it wants to be. Living in a tower from Arceus-knows-what-time can get pretty frosty. He has multiple blankets for a reason, and nearly collapsed amidst the Hoennian summer time. But ... that all this time ... there would have been a place like this ... Hm. He has to revisit the map he has of Hoenn for sure (one that probably dates back a century or so, even though it's condition is more speaking of the last decade - someone probably photocopied it some time).[break]
[break]
Now, however, he is finding that his pen isn't working in the chilly weather as, at least, he is appropriately dressed for the occasion. Still, it doesn't do any good when he can't take proper notes and when his trusted-mistrusted companion of Z the Porygon-Z is also just literally freezing up every five steps. He sighs, shielding his eyes as he looks around to find someone - anyone. "Hey ... wonder if you have a pen you can lend me?" he says immediately after finding someone. The next problem would obviously be his frosted notebook, but one step at a time, right?

The likelihood of just stumbling into Area Zero is probably not exactly high - there is no such a reason to do so, after all, if one cherished life and the body that one was given, and wanted to protect the very same. The every breath that was drawn. Now, Xuying wouldn't say that he is reckless when it comes to risking his own life for the pursuit of whatever his mind is throwing at him just then, but ... well. He also can't say that he is not just following the very whims of his everyday mind as the thoughts come and go. And one particularly intrusive one spoke of the pretty rocks that he could collect down here.[break]
[break]
Hence, his presence in the area - notebook all out, he hums to himself as he inspects a particularly pretty rock. It seems on the more mundane side of things than not, but there is still appeal in it for the researcher all the same. He could spend hours looking at every small detail of it ... just as he hears someone else around. Looking to see who's here, he offers somewhat of a friendly smile as he waves in somewhat of a greeting to the other, "yo! Also here to look at some rocks?" Probably not, but ... well, why not? Actually, why not ...

"What the h-"[break]
[break]
Xuying is only able to mutter so much under his breath, the feeling of riding some unknown Pokémon vastly unfamiliar and alien - 'surprise' is too mild of a feeling that surges through him right now. It makes him want to get off immediately, but such a thing won't be granted if speed is all that they carry - less so if behind them, they seem to be pursued. With 'them', of course, being another Cyclizar rider. It seems that the only way to get off this Pokémon safely is to shake the Genesect guys off as soon as possible ...[break]

With handwaves, Xuying hopes he can signal to the other that he will just follow wherever he might want to go.

For a moment, Xuying doesn't even quite realise he's in a simulation - while not fully familiar, there is still a distinct feeling of home that this workshop has. It looks only a nudge messier than the workshop he has back in Unova. And, of course, on the table ... some odd device. He looks at the unknown logo, seemingly from some past unknown, and scrunches his nose.[break]
[break]
Looking over to the person he entered this oddity with, he points towards one corner of the workshop, "hey, can you check the corner there? Maybe find something that looks useful." Whatever 'useful' really means - in the meanwhile, he is off to see if there isn't some manual to be found ...
