    A Mawile wearing a brown dress and red ribbons in her hair slowly stumbled into the larger, main room from an adjacent one, and sat beside her friends, a Shuppet with a teal sideways bow tie and a glasses-wearing Miltank. The old-timey wooden hut housed many pokemon at the moment, all looking exhausted, worried, and home-sick.

"H-how is she doing? Jasmine?" The Miltank's voice quaked, but that was nothing new. Mimi was always nervous about something. This time; however, she had a legitimate excuse to be scarred.

"She's looking a bit better. That Teleport took a lot out of her though. Mike and that Grand Kec guy are apparently going to go look for some kind of special tree sap that can help, but... If she doesn't get better, we might be stuck here. A century in the past, with no way to see our teams again..." Marci's voice dropped to nearly silent as she barely had the heart to say the last sentence.

Shannon floated above the other two. "Speak for yourselves; I'm a ghost, I could live back to the present." She looked back down to see tears flowing from underneath Mimi's glasses and Marci's angry glare, and quickly realized her mistake in word choice. 

"Uh, but of course it wouldn't be any fun without you gals."

She carefully levitated down and laid across Mimi's lap, gently placing her head against the Miltank's torso and sighed. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound so mean. I'm just tired."

Marci petted the small Shuppet's head and rubbed Mimi's back. "It's okay, we all are. And besides, I'm sure we'll be fine. We've been through worse, right?"

Mimi sniffled slightly. The comforting of her friend was nice, but she could't help but worry. It was just part of her nature to be concerned by every little detail.

"But... Say we c-can't get back?"

Such powerfully emotional weight was contained in those few words that the three fell silent. It was then that they realized that everyone else in the room was sitting in solemn silence. Except for a slight scratching noise.

    A shiny female Meowth with a thin purple bow around her neck was scrawling something on a sheet of paper with a quill pen. The three stared at her for a moment.

"Um... What are you doing, exactly?" Marci finally inquired.

The Meowth's ears perked up and she looked at the Mawile speaking. "Oh! I'm writing a letter to my friend Sept! At the very least, if we don't make it back, I thought that I could leave a letter for him to find. Like a time capsule or something?" She purred.

"That... Sounds like a good idea. I bet everyone's worried sick. A letter could be just the thing to make them feel a little better." Marci muttered, thinking aloud. "Do you mind if we use an extra quill and some paper?"

The Meowth happily obliged, and slid the utensils over to the trio.

    Shannon blankly starred at the tools set in front of her. "I, uh... don't know how to write." She sheepishly admitted, her checks turning a slight red shade.

Marci patted her friend and took her paper. "That's okay, a lot of pokemon in the village can't. Just tell me what you want to tell Ray and Jade, and I'll put it down for you."

And so, the three spent the next few hours on the floor, writing letters for their teams.
PART 1 OF 4 || NEXT>>>

FEATURING
Marci the Mawile of Team Chlorasteel
Mimi the Miltank of Team Milky-Way
Shannon the Shuppet of Team Telekinetics

You know, as it is, this could be the entire event for me, as short as this is. But. I'm also going to go after the present part as well. Each of the next three parts will be in a different team's perspective. All will be going on a little journey to try and find their letter, and all will introduce new characters. So be looking for it!

CAMEOS
Rhian the shiny Meowth of The Time Bandits.

What the heck is teal
I should know what color that is, but I don't. I'll just translate it as "blue." The story will not be affected if I get it wrong.
Probably.

"she had a legitimate excuse to be scarred."
Perhaps, but I don't think wounds is what you have in mind, here.

"Speak for yourselves; I'm a ghost, I could live back to the present."
Yeah rub it in why don't you
Jerk

"quickly realized her mistake in word choice"
the mistake was THE ENTIRE SENTENCE

"Such powerfully emotional weight"
I don't know if you can just say that and have it be true. Maybe you can?
I'm not feelin' it but there's a really good chance that's just me.
