When we last left our honey of a heroine, she had just landed smack in the middle of New Port Ritchey.

Yes, THAT New Port Ritchey. In Florida.

It’s waaaay too late for that, Honey…

After a bunch of exploring the random town, Honey discovers that she’s not the only alien around here.

And she walks right past it.

But not for long.

After several attempts to talk the Voices into NOT forcing her into that area (seriously, how else do you explain her talking out loud to herself while still trying to go in that direction?), Honey then walks right past Uxie in the other direction.

Some members of the chat start wondering what the man’s doing to that poor Uxie. I’d guess that Uxie was unconscious since it isn’t moving, but then, its eyes are always closed.

I mean, maybe I did see an Uxie open its eyes at some point, but I can’t be expected to remember that.

Honey, meanwhile, has discovered the first major difference between Pokearthian culture and the United States:

Yep. No going inside and sniffing the beds. Honey then turns to the random Uxie and tries to figure out what it is:

“…on a Pokemon before…”



Um, Honey? That… that’s an Uxie. An Uxie that has quite clearly brainwashed this poor man into thinking that he’s a Shar Pei.

The chat makes derogatory remarks on Honey’s intelligence.

Oh, look, it’s our mysterious old friend Luke again.

We give him a start.

The lag keeps Honey from hearing all of this bit. (Someone in chat says that she’s a little slow, and it isn’t the lag. I won’t phrase it the way chat speak phrases it, but it seems that Honey might be mentally dim.)

Explanation hype!

Maybe that force is responsible for the lag that’s making it difficult for Honey to communicate to anybody?

Or maybe her ‘powers’ are causing her to briefly shift through brief points in time as well as through space. Walking through a boat, through a plant, and over a hole in the floor aren’t the only weird things that Honey’s going through here.

Or maybe she really does have mental issues. Which is sad, but hey. We all know she’s going to help save the world anyway.

When she snaps out of being spaced-out, Luke is still talking:

What? Legendary Pokemon? Like, say, an Uxie or something? Great idea. Pity there aren’t any around these parts.

So, he’s a portal generator now? Ally Luke-a-ring!

And then the lag kicks back in.

Like Uxie being mistaken for a bulldog? I hate to tell you this, since you seem the sensitive type, but that poor man might take it to get its tails docked before he ever realizes the truth.

“…can’t let that happen.”



Sorry, dude, but it kinda… already has.

You know, Honey is exactly the wrong kind of person for the job here. I don’t mean to be ableist or anything, but if you want someone to keep tabs on an entire dimension, generally you want to have someone who’s capable of listening to everything you’re saying.

Case in point, as the evil lag kicks back in. Granted, if Percy hadn’t set his Celebi on fire way back in Part 1, maybe this mess wouldn’t be happening right now…

Hmm, maybe if we had a Uxie around, it might know how to open one…

“…might be able to find a way back.”



Look around? Got it.

Due to lag, I can’t be sure if this girl said something before what I managed to screencap, but it looks like Luke has a friend here.

“Hey, girl… why don’t you take my hand and join me on a magnificent adventure throughout time and space?”

Is what I imagine I might say if I were Honey.

What Honey actually says (apparently) is that yes, she is… and that cheers this girl up quite a bit. She thanks us for it.

But imagine how cheered up she’d be if we brought her with us into the Pokemon world itself! Sure, we’d probably cause an interdimensional incident, rack up kidnapping charges, and likely severely endanger this poor girl by association because Honey has an Edgychu and a murderous Team Fusion boss after her.

Still, it’d be fun, right?

Her thoughts come slowly, but they do come.

“…she cherishes that.”

And then it happens:

“Whoa!”



Aaand we’re back to the docks.

To be continued…?
