The sides of Astrid's mouth turned downwards and she wrinkled her nose, she slowly looked up to the non existent ceiling. She could easily imagine the giant version of a gyarados or onix towering above her in here, she shivered. "I would not call them abnormally big, since that is their normal size," Astrid argued dryly, "but I am very pleased it is not one of the larger pokemon we have encountered today. I do not hope any of them exist in here."
"Then why have I not heard of it before now?" Astrid grumbled when Alex pointed out that this thing apparently was a very common and normal thing for some people, that they even made a business out of it. "I thought he had just been quick to set up a food stall when trainers gathered around here, it seems like I need to have a word with him then." If this was a common thing, she would certainly have seen something about it in the many reports she had written and archieved in her many years working with the police, she certainly also have heard a lot about the missions they had been on, and things they had investigated, never had there been a talk about something like this. She narrowed her eyes to stare critically at Alex, "you cannot just start or move such things like this," she protested and gestured around, "this is what is abnormal." The old woman huffed and tightened her grib around her cane, "or nobody knows," she mumbled uneasy, how would people know that somebody didn't come out again? It didn't seem like there were any registration and you could clearly have a stone to activate the hole without having bought one from an 'official' salesman.
Astrid looked confused at Alex, "are you saying this is not a normal protect?!" She asked upset, things seemed to just get worse and worse. "Oh how I wish you would have had time to explain some of all this to me before it all started!" She whined, "I am too old to keep up at this speed!" "No! Themis!" She shouted suddenly when the cat had first attacked Alex's fearow but then focused on her poor dutifully dog. Themis laid still afterwards and Astrid recalled her with a grim expression, "this is not looking good," but at least she knew that perrserker was a steel type now and she had another who could be fitting in that matchup. "Egil I need you to attack that cat with all you got of fighting, otherwise we have no way out of here," Astrid said grimly and the croagunk stared speechless at the giant grey pokemon in front of him, then he glared at Astrid, if she thought he was going to risk himself she was crazy. He crossed his arms and sat down defiantly, but as he looked around in the strange world he was in, he realized this was not a place he wanted to be stuck, and with a groan he set forward.
Astrid quickly checked that Themis was alright, before she turned to Alex with a question which had been on her mind for some time now, "where do those pokemon even come from? Are they sucked in here too?" She asked the other trainer, still expecting him to be the expert and being able to answer any weird thought she got. "Are we rescuing them or breaking into their home?"
Egil tried to stay low and out of sight, doing all he could to have Scarout being the one taking the attention and the brunt of whatever the perrserker would do, when he saw his chance he would jump over at try punch it with his paw.

Alex was glad that at least this old woman comprehend the size multiplication of the Pokemon in these pocket dimension, and that would be one concept down, and a few more to go. "I'm not saying they're not here, but I haven't done this enough yet... And they're usually fully evolved Pokemon, maybe I would need a fully evolved Pokemon to see them." He added another hypothesis, but he wasn't sure.
"Well, I meant like the word is more common in Paldea than in Johto. We've just had this festival and most people from Johto probably are not even familiar with Paldea." He shrugged. "Kind of like how different cultures learn and then adapt other cultures."
"Unlike protect, they can use their regular moves after having this barrier up. You can chip it away with attacks it seems like." He explained. "I wish I had time to explain too, but I didn't know your bag would have a wishing piece that would react to the portal. But, we're here now, and we can learn about this while we're slowly weakening this Meowth."
"Scarout, you're doing great! Use another Aerial Ace!" He hollered his next move, and the Fearow cawed before diving down on the opponent. "Actually, I have no idea on what you just asked. If they're from another dimension too, then are we rescuing them or are we messing up the time and space of this universe, or multi-verse? I don't know!" He shrugged, running out of hypothesis and theories. Quantum physics and fabrics of space and time was a little bit outside of his interests.
Edit: use mod bar on snubbull, evolve to granbull edit 2: i'm not catching it and get extra reward per guide

Astrid shivered at the thought of encountering a skyscraper tall steelix, that would be horrifying even though the pokemon would barely notice they were there. "Why would what kind of pokemon we bring affect what is seen in here? Are you saying we can go in further to try find something else?" She asked the young man sharply. Her eyes opened wide as her eyebrows shot up, "you are from Paldea? And you say these appear there all the time?!" she exclaimed, "then what are they doing here?" She frowned deeply with worry, "do not say someone has the power to move them and start them at will." The old woman groaned and rubbed her temples, she couldn't understand why the others didn't worry about how this could affect everyday life, especially if someone who wanted to abuse it figured out how to take advantage of it. Alex didn't sound like the one who would be able to answer all her questions. "Are you saying it is the man selling sandwiches who knows how this works?" She asked and gestured to the place they were in.
"I really wish we had had time for you to explain all of this to me before we were pulled in here," she repeated tiredly and slumped over her cane, "this is going too fast and there are too many things which keeps happening, which I am completely unprepared for. And I still do not understand how this work fundemantally. What is making these wormholes, why are they appearing here? Why are the pokemon in here and in this gigantic size and with extra abilities." She sighed when Alex agreed to not know where the pokemon came from, she would have to put word out to get this investigated to avoid it giving the police and especially the civillians problems later on. "I should probably write all this down," she mumbled to herself with a worried frown, it was a lot to remember.
Egil winced when the big grey cat screeched but it seemed like it had mostly its focus on the big bird, that was good, then he could sneak in unnoticed until he dealt his strike. A quick punch with his hand and he quickly withdrew and without getting any injuries at all! He couldn't have wished for any better outcome, and now the cat looked really battered, they should get it down soon. Once more he waited while Scarout did his thing, if needed he would attempt to sneak up and punch the giant again.
(ooc: Egil uses Revenge. Noting I'm not planning on catching the perrserker either)

Cacnea Name: Noctike Gender: Female Level: 27 Attacks: Feint Attack, Bullet Seed, Sand Attack, Growth Ability: Sand Veil Nature/Personality: Serious Having grown up in harsh environment with little contact to anything almost, Noctike often mistake humor for offense. Although she's beginning to know the line between jokes and offenses. Exp: 0/2269 Happiness: +5
Fearow Name: Scarout Gender: Male Level: 27 Attacks: Aerial Ace. Drill Run, Leer, Return(TM) Ability: Sniper Nature/Personality: Lonely A curious, adventurous, and self-oriented pokemon, Scarout likes to explore and view the surrounding with his own eyes at high elevations.

"I went in here once with some of my stronger Pokemon, and the Pokemon that appeared on this side seemed stronger. So, that would be a good theory to test out, but I've completed Ecruteak Gym recently, so my Pokemon weren't like, super duper strong yet. Maybe like medium level?" Alex replied quickly as Astrid had asked. "Oh no, I am from Hoenn! I guess we never spoke about where we came from, huh? What about you?" He asked since he was on that topic. "Um, I don't know who brought that portal here, if they can be brought. Maybe they're opened here? And I don't think it's the sandwich seller. It's probably the dude with green shorts and unkept hair you were trying to talk to earlier before that piece brought us here." He replied, and then watched as his Fearow struck an Aerial Ace on the Meowth, knocking it unconscious. "Aand we're back in Johto. This is probably a good time for you to write down notes if you want to have a go again. I'll go to the bathroom really quick and swap out some of my Pokemon." When they found themselves back on the Paldea Festival again, Alex excused himself to the bathroom and to switch out his now newly evolved Granbull that he saw in its Pokeball. When he had returned, he would ask if Astrif wanted to go "investigate" the wormhole again before purchasing another piece from Mohm.

Raid Team CroagunkName: Egil Gender: Male Level: 22 OT: Astrid Lindegaard Attacks: Venoshock, Rock Climb HM, Revenge, Feint Attack Ability: Dry Skin Nature/Personality: Adamant. Calculating and selfish. Egil has grown up in an environment where it was everyone for themselves, and has learned what is necessary to survive. He can act kind and helpful if he want to, but doesn't do anything for others, unless he gains something out of it himself. Happiness: +4 Other: Member/Staff of the Month September 2015 LuxioName: Tordis Gender: Female Level: 23 OT: Astrid Lindegaard Moves: Strength HM, Bite, Charge, Spark Ability: Intimidate Nature/Personality: Rash. Tordis is learning fast about the world around her and you can discuss if she has a good teacher in Egil. At first she is naive and thinks the best of everyone she meets, but it is hard to keep a positive view on the world when things keep going against what you have learned as child. Note: name means "Thor's Goddess" Happiness: +4 Item: NA LoudredName: Placido Gender: Male Level: 27 OT: Lass Sarah (NPC) Attacks: Stomp, Echoed Voice, Bite, Screech Ability: Soundproof Nature/Personality: Sassy. Placido is sarcastic and loves to joke around. As a whismur he is quiet and his comments are only heard by those close by, as he isn't making a big deal out of himself. After evolving Placido still loves to play around and tease team mates and opponents, but is now doing it much louder and isn't afraid of gaining attention. Other: NPC trade Oktober 2015 Happiness: +9 EXP: 1500/2269 Item: N/A GrowlitheName: Themis Gender: Female Level: 20 OT: Astrid Lindgaard Attacks: Bite, Roar, Flame Wheel, Close Combat EMAbility: Intimidate Nature/Personality: Serious. Themis is a trained police dog who has gotten a leg injury and after her rehabilitation got partnered with Astrid to give her a chance to continue to work but at a slower pace. She has a lot of knowledge of the work and is strict about the rules and very, very dutiful. She lives and breathes for the life of a police dog. Happiness: +2 Note: Paying for a Wishing Piece (since I have the most money) Just bringing an ordinary pokeball. (Egil forgets pursuit for Venoshock, Themis doesn't learn agility)
Egil barely had to do anything, he stayed in the back and let Scarout do the hard work, which the bird luckily seemed fine with. Not that the fearow had much choice in the matter when they were facing a way too big cat which threatened to smash them all. The galarian meowth was hit hard and Egil sat and watched as it stumbled and then shrinked until normal size. He tilted his head thoughtfully for a bit. Astrid stared at Alex as if he had grown an extra head, what he said sounded ridiculous to her, as if the strength of their pokemon should be able to affect a wormhole! This was not a video game were things changed to you, that was not a thing in real life. She shook her head lightly not wanting to start that discussion as it would probably be heated and she doubted they would ever find a common ground. "I have never understood when people talk about levels," she commented. She was happy when the conversation turned to more mundane things, "so how have you learned about these? Do they appear in your home region too?" Astrid asked before she threw out her arm, "I am from here," she paused and looked around, then shook her head over herself, "not from in here of course, but from Johto."The old woman frowned, "I am old and my memory is not the best any more, but I am fairly certain I was talking with a sandwich seller, he was preparing sandwiches at least when I spoke to him," she said slowly. Then the meowth got knocked out, Astrid stared open mouthed as the pokemon shrinked to a more normal size and then it was like the room they were in imploded on itself and that horrible pull in her stomach and kick to her sense of balance happened again, just worse than before. She fell as Egil didn't lift a paw to help her, and Alex probably wasn't aware that it could be a thing for people as old as Astrid. "You do not say," Astrid said sarcastically from her horizontal position, "it is horrible, how do you stay unfaced?" She struggled to get back up again, that wasn't so easy anymore compared to when she was young. Back up on her feet, she saw a the back of the grey meowth disappear into the wilderness and as Alex went to do his thing. She contacted HQ and reported what she had found and made a plan with them for what to do next. She was waiting with Mohm for Alex to return and agreed that she would like to try it again, and this time in a more controlled fashion.

Frosmoth is male now, Struggle Bug
Alex just had kept her questions in mind, as he made his way back to the festival. Once they had returned to the strange dimension, he finally opened up to answer questions again. "I am guessing level is just strength of the Pokemon, and how long they have been battling. I see it like, how expert someone is doing at something, like a gardener who started from nothing to identifying plants in their region or something like that." Out of all the questions Astrid was asking about, he wasn't expecting this one.
"I actually just learned about this wormhole thing just now, in this Paldean Festival. I haven't been back home in Hoenn for a while, so this is all new to me." He answered. "Uhh, yeah. There was a sandwich seller, but I don't think he had time to use advance science things when he's too busy prepping sandwiches."
"Uhh. I don't know. Maybe learning about the world made me realized that a giant Pokemon wasn't that bad of a deal." He replied, and shrugged.
Soon, a pink maned Ponyta darted out from the dimension, revealing itself as the opponent they're facing. "I haven't seen this kind of Ponyta before! Frosmoth, come out and use Struggle Bug!" He sent out his first Pokemon. He hadn't used a Frosmoth before, so he wasn't sure what kind of opponent he was facing, and what its type. However, Frosmoth was a strange new Pokemon that he had got recently on a fateful winter day, and he hadn't seen their battle capabilities before! At least, he knew what Struggle Bub would do!

Astrid was waiting for Alex beside the man she had learned was selling those strange stones which opened up the portals. She had put him through a serious interrogation which he had answered readily, although a bit nervously, and she hadn't found anything sketchy about what he was doing. She had passed on the information to headquarters who has requested of her to try get one of the former giant pokemon for them to let a nurse Joy take a look and figure out what had affected it and how it was doing now.
It was a much more controlled trip this time, Astrid knew what to expect and her hand clutched Alex's arm during the process, so she stayed on her feet this time. The pokemon which stood before them were a very white and fluffy pony. Pony was perhaps a wrong word, as it wasn't small at all, but it would have made a wonderful plush toy had it been smaller. The old woman stared dumbfounded at Alex when he began to blabber about levels and strength and other nonsense, it took her a moment to remember what they had talked about before and catch up on the topic. She waved at him dismissively, "yes, yes I know. A newly hatched pokemon does not have the strength to use the most powerful moves of its species. How some trainers are able to put a number on that is beyond me, I heard someone talk about that their pokemon only needed a couple of levels to evovle, they sounded like they were talking about a computer game!" She sighed and shook her head, "do not try explain how it is done, I will not get it anyway. You are not saying a gardener is level 200 because he has learned some new plants," she pointed out.
Astrid raised an eyebrow at Alex, "you sound like an expert," she said dryly. "He was very quick to send me off to question you instead yes," she added as comment about the sandwich seller. "So what made you start doing this? Why are you doing this at all? What is your motivation?" She asked Alex flatly, it wasn't just a normal wild encounter this thing, nor something you could really prepare for as with a gym battle, and it didn't sound like Alex had spent a lot of time gather information before jumping straight into it, otherwise he'd be able to answer more of her questions.
Astrid narrowed her eyes, "with how cute and fluffy it looks I would say fairy, or perhaps psychic, are they not often looking like that?" She commented and thought for a bit, "so Egil would be a bad choice and Themis needs some rest after last time," she thought out loud to herself. A luxio materialized in front of her a moment later, the cat looked around suspiciously and quickly spotted the giant horse which made her hiss and flattened her ears. "It is big yes, but I know you can do this Tordis. It is a normal pokemon and we need to try catch it to get it too, it should become smaller when beaten," Astrid explained and Tordis' ears twitched in her direction a few times, before she hissed again. "You are not alone. We can do this if we work.." Astrid began and the luxio sent a disdainful look at the white bug on her side of the field, and then she dashed straight at the pony with her fangs bared.

Alex laughed at how Astrid would describe an expertise gardener who would be the smartest or brightest in the world. "Maybe we don't call the gardener level 200, but I am sure said gardener would charge you a lot or maybe have a degree in botany or plant science or even work for the wealthiest family. Isn't that close enough to a 'level'?" He giggled as he asked.
"It is definitely a cute Ponyta, but aren't all Ponyta's cute? Whether or not it's a psychic type or a bug type would make a difference, because--" He began and wanted to talk about the type advantage and disadvantage, but he got distracted by watching the battle played out. The Pokemon's actions would speak louder and faster than what he was about to say. The Ponyta used Psybeam, which was a clue that it was a psychic type since most fairy types don't really know that move.
With a combination of his Pokemon's struggle bug and the Luxio's Bite, the Ponyta put up a barrier quickly. "Well, this one's a psychic type. Return, Frosmoth. Noctike, use Bullet Seed on the Ponyta!" The poor white moth Pokemon was getting used to his first battle that he didn't notice the Luxio's side eyes. He got blasted by the Psybeam rather quickly!

Astrid made a sound indicating frustration and 'I don't know', "well, of course a highly skilled gardener gets more money, but you do not give them a level like people do with pokemon. It is the wording I do not get, and I do not like people treating pokemon battles like it was some sort of video game, this is creatures with feelings and lives," she said frustrated, she had run into way too many young trainers who had accidently mistreated their pokemon since they had more focus on 'level' and playing than the live live pokemon in front of them. "Why not give them ranks like for trainers? Why are we not giving trainers a level if that is a good way to classify ones strength? I have never heard a trainer being explained with a level, nor any other human athlete, they are given ranks instead. You can be Number one on the rank list like our Champion, but he is certainly not a 'level 1'," the old woman said as she made quote signs with her fingers. "I guess it is because the focus is on the trainers and pokemon are a part of a team more than seen individually," she sighed.
Astrid glanced at Alex's Frosmoth, "bugs can be cute too, but most will think of fairies I think if you ask what a cute pokemon are." She looked grimly at the pony as the pokemon started the dance of the battle, and the said bug quickly got taken out and the shimmering walls of the barrier settled around it. Her eyes shot up to her hairline. "That was fast!" She exclaimed and glanced at Alex's at his confident declaration of its typing, "are you saying that because of the move it used or because how fast the barriers arrived?" "You are doing great Tordis! Keep up the good work!" The old trainer called out to her pokemon who stared wide eyed at the fainted bug before she hissed threateningly at the pony and bolted towards it again.

Alex didn't have much of a respond to that part, but had to think of a reply in a different angle. "Uh, isn't Gym Leader and Elite Four and Champion enough to distinguish certain trainers? Or do we need more ranks for the trainers in between?" He moved his head a bit to think about this idea. "How detail do we need to rank people, and how would we measure that so people wouldn't lie about their victory and losses?"
"Oops, I meant to say whether or not this Ponyta was a psychic or a fairy type depended on how hard our Pokemon's moves hit. Given that the Bite and Struggle Bug was enough to let the Ponyta set up that menacing barrier, this meant that this was a psychic type!" He explained his reasoning, and then watched as the colorful pastel Ponyta ran around stomping on both of their Pokemon.
Even though Alex was down to his last Pokemon, he would have to give it his best. "You're doing great, Noctike! Use Feint Attack!" He ordered his next move, and knew that if the Ponyta should target his Pokemon again, the Cacnea would be fainted and gone for the fight.
