Summary: Jasmine wakes up in the Tower and tries to deal with the fact that everyone she knows and loves is dead.
Warnings: None that I can think of!

When Jasmine woke up and found herself in an unfamiliar room and in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar nightgown, she was more than a little worried. Who had kidnapped her? Team Rocket? And why? Looking around, she saw a couple of letters on her nightstand, and while they were a bit informative, Jasmine had a very hard time swallowing it. Joto destroyed? Amphy dead? Olivine no more? All her friends and family dead? Jasmine sighed and bit her lip. In such times, she had to be strong. She hadn't gotten to be a Gym Leader by weeping at every cricis that happened along. She had to figure out what exactly was going on here.

So, she got out of bed and opened up her trunk, hoping to find something useful..and did. She quickly changed into her clothes and did up her hair before gathering up the Pokeballs that were in the trunk. So, her friends hadn't died at all. At least..some of them hadn't. Quickly, she opened up one ball and pulled out her Magnemite, which called out to her. Smiling, she patted it on the head. "Don't worry..we'll figure this one out."

With that, she ran out into the hallway, looking for anyone that she could find, her Magnemite trailing behind her. As she ran, she held onto her other Pokeballs. She wanted to pull them out, but Steelix was rather large, and she didn't want to tire Skarmory, even though she was rather strong.

While the bowl of oatmeal the man had handed her was rather unappetizing, Jasmine was trying to make the best of it and eat it as quickly as possible. While she ate, her Magnemite flitted about, and her other two Pokeballs sat on the table. Even though they weren't out, Jasmine wouldn't leave her friends out of a meal.

After going down the stairs for awhile, Jasmine had finally found a floor large enough for Steelix. Smiling, she released the large Pokemon, and it called out rather loudly as it was let out. "Sorry..this place is a bit smaller than home." In response, it lowered it's head and Jasmine, smiling, patted the large Pokemon on the head. They were made out of Steel and tough, but that didn't mean she had to be tough when she didn't have to be. After all, they were her friends.

Jasmine smiled at the Ninetails as she ran towards her. While she was a Steel user, she loved other Pokemon, and Ninetails was no exception. In response, Steelix watched the Ninetails and called out to it. Even though it might have sounded intimidating, it was a friendly call. Jasmine tried to get close enough so that she could pet the excited Pokemon, but it ran off back to it's owner before she could.

Not that she really minded. As it ran circles around it's owner, she chuckled lightly to herself before replying. "It's alright. It's good that she's happy to see other Pokemon here. ...Pardon..but why aren't other Pokemon here? And..where is this place? Is Joto destroyed?"

Dave approaches her. Missy nudges at Jasmine's hand with her nose curiously as he approaches. "There's a few people here with their Pokemon. But it's not completely common to have throughout the population. Missy here was a gift from a friend. I actually know jackshit about Pokemon otherwise." He gives her a quick pat on the head. "This is a shitty Tower and the actual location of it isn't really something I can tell you."

"...Probably. Yeah. They kind of weren't exactly lying about that part." Dave seems hesitant to admit it though. Like he doesn't quite believe it still.

Jasmine kept on smiling as she petted the Ninetails..but when she heard that this boy didn't know much about Pokemon and that Joto was destroyed, that smile fell rather quickly. However, she forced herself to keep it together. You couldn't be a Gym Leader if you were going to fall to pieces, especially in Olivine City.

Steel Pokemon were strong, so she had to live up to that. "Why..isn't it common? And..how was Joto..destroyed? And can you not tell me..or won't you tell me?"

"Not everyone here comes from where you came from is why. I mean, there's some of you guys around, but this place is such a melting pot that no one is really a majority here," Dave replies. Missy licks Jasmine's hand enthusiastically sensing that she seems slightly saddened. "I can't really tell you because I don't know where here is. Our location has never really been something that was explained. Just that our worlds met their end and we're stuck here. I wouldn't call it saving though."

He's aware how hard the news must be, but it's probably better for her to know over being lied to.

Jasmine smiled a little at Missy when the Pokemon licked her hand, and she tried to pet the creature as she spoke. However, her gaze still remained on Dave.

"I see...why..wouldn't you call it saving? And..do you mean..that people..from different regions are here..or something else?"

"This place wouldn't really be what I considered fun. It's actually pretty fucking terrible when you get down to it." And it can't really be explained either. You really have to experience it to really realize how bad it is. "Something else. If you aren't really familiar with the concept of alternate universes or worlds, than this is gonna be a hell of a place to acclimate to, that's for sure."

Sadly, Jasmine wasn't aware of just how bad the Tower and its Administrators could be sometimes. "How bad..can it get? And..a friend..explained the concept to me..so I'm alright now. I'm sorry..the idea..it just a bit..new to me, that's all.."

She'll learn quickly. Probably. Although he hopes it won't be a complete surprise, since that would be pretty bad. "Pretty bad. Death is pretty common here. And most of the administrators here aren't too kind hearted." At least she won't be completely taken off guard. "You don't have to apologize. Being here is pretty new to most, I'm guessing."

She would..but that didn't mean that she would like seeing just how horrid they could be, or that she would be able to avoid surprises everywhere. Olivine was, for the most part, a very peaceful town. Something like this was not what Jasmine was expecting.

But Steel was tough, so she was trying her best to work with it. Even so..she wasn't expecting to hear about death. "Thank you..but..it's horrible..that death occurs so often here.."
