One moment, Laia is sitting down for the start of the floor session.
The next moment, some kind of bizarre-looking monster is going at her with an enormous golden ring.
The moment after that, she's somewhere else.
Then between the two of them, they can take the right-hand flower down! The left hand flower is going to drain Wooliam again, who's starting to look pretty rough.
Sunny is trying to move, but not totally managing it!
And after a couple more exchanges, Laia's two Pokémon can wear down the one still on the field.
"That was really close, you two put up more of a fight than anybody I've battled before!" says Laia, making sure everybody's in range and doing another channel. "Is there healing available in the city, I'm running low."
(They will need to get their other Pokémon back out of its ball, but yes, then, channel.)
"Just go to the Pokémon Center, silly!"
"Oh, was that a silly question? I didn't know because I'm an alien." Away go her 'mon after congratulatory pats. "Where's the Pokémon Center?"
"It's in the middle of town! It's big and blue and made of glass and it has a red roof."
"You're an ALIEN?"
"Yup! I'm from another planet! I just got here yesterday, some kind of Pokémon attacked me out of nowhere and then I was on a Mareep farm."
"Wow!!! What was your old planet like? Did you know Deoxys?"
"Deoxys isn't real."
"Says you."
"I don't recognize the name, sorry! My old planet has really really different Pokémon that people get ahold of in really different ways and battle with a lot less because of it."
"That SUCKS!"
"I'm telling Mom you said that."
"'Sucks' isn't a bad word, dumb-dumb head."
"Well, you two have a nice day now, I need to head for the Pokémon Center."
There's an entry gate, with a scrolling illusion-board displaying the local date (the year is apparently 2012) and a weather report.
Then she's in Virbank City.
The buildings here absolutely do not look like they were built on Golarion. They're more colorful, for one thing, and their style is completely different. To the east is a port; to the south is a group of drab buildings with smoke rising from large chimneys.
