The Ghost Trainer at least makes a semblance of politeness before her departure by greeting any who actually speak to her, but otherwise she's not feeling particularly talkative. In fairness though, realizing that you've been inadvertently dragged into whatever global nonsense is going on is probably a bit overwhelming.

Stella waves goodbye to their new-old friend. Mhm. Now they had some time to look around at the buildings! And people. ... ... ... Done! Onwards towards adventure! Stella struck an heroic pose and pointed vaguely in the direction she hoped they should be going in. She holds the pose for a few seconds before standing down and getting her phone to actually look at the map. Hmm. Hmmmm. That direction then! Almost right. She pointed towards the direction the map actually seemed to indicate.

Heading out of Mistralton, the group heads west toward what should be Celadon... and find Sunnyshore city? From Sinnoh? That's... new. It's a city of rocky crags and solar panel bridges. The city itself is explorable, but what's interesting is that Celedon 'used' to be bordered by forests, but there was open water not too far from the city, normally a trapped bit of water that leads past Vermillion into open ocean. Since Sunnyshore is indeed a port town, there actually are ships that run from here. Presumably, they can go to Vermillion, or maybe even south to Fuschia or around to what should be Cinnabar even.

Stella scratched her head. This wasn't what they were expecting? But on the other hand, they kinda knew those things would happen. So did it count? Hmm. The orange haired girl looked around and marveled at the weird things. Rocks and solar panels did feel quite cosy. And oh! Giant tower - that was the lighthouse wasn't it? She pointed at it and waved. "Look!" Surely they could see for miles from up there! Let's go and take a look!

Yes. Let's! Glorious Leader Stella makes the executive decision to drag the party towards the lighthouse. And - if it wasn't locked or sternly off limits - up to look at the view!

Gwen shrugged, and would follow Stella to the lighthouse. Might as well explore, and they might even spot a gym along the way. Hopefully the lighthouse was wheelchair accessible.

The group (of all who care to see), head over to the lighthouse. It does indeed have wheelchair access, in the form of an elevator, and the group gets on. It seems that there's not really people here, but it's all running so it's probably just self-run (It's a light, doesn't take a super-computer).
*Ding!*
The group gets off onto the balcony, and it's REALLY a sight. Looking around, they can see quite a bit from this height. The city itself does indeed have a gym, and a dock with boats that seem to lead south, so if you all want a quick way to Fuschia or nearby, it's certainly possible.
It also shows the nearby paths and pieces of land within viewshot, and WOW it's really easy to see where the 'lines' are. Almost two different grass species seem to line up right next to eachother with the paths and this city.

Stella enjoys the elevator ride and grows visibly excited as they get higher up. Up in the sky! Kinda. Close enough! As soon as the doors are open enough she dashes out to marvel at the sights. Mmm. I feel so tall! she thought to herself as she gazed out at the tiny things around them. She let her pokémon come out and look as well, keeping a careful eye on anyone wandering too close to the edge.
"Gym." she points at the building and squints. Maybe they could tell what theme it seemed to have even from a distance? "Docks." as well. She didn't quite trust boats, but supposedly they were handy for traveling. "Glitch ..." she pointed at one of the jarring borders. She was slightly worried about encountering one of those while in a boat ... What would happen if the next chunk was just ground - or worse - several meters lower?

Gwen whistles when she reaches the top of the lighthouse. She took note of the gym general location, and noticed the jarring, patchwork layout of the land.
"Geez. Kanto is like some shabby, old, put-back-together quilt. You can see where things don't belong. But, a running gym is a gym."
Despite concerning circumstances at the state of the world, Gwen's hunger for competition is still alive and well.

*Nod* Stella agreed with that. The first, second and third thing. Oh! But "quilt" gave her an idea. She should snuggle with one once she got back to the ranch. Oh! Another idea! She sat down and retrieved her sketch block, roughly drawing the terrain she could see from the tower. It may not be a perfect map, but it may help her figure out where and how close they are to glitch lines.

Noire blinks at the obvious seam in the world. "Okay, that's kinda disturbing. 'Glitch' is right, it looks like somebody mixed up the tiles in the world."
She leans out over the rail of the balcony, looking down on the city and straining like she can already see Fuschia in the distance. "Man, and I thought it was weird in Mistralton where the gatehouses didn't line up properly." She huffs quietly. "Least we know where the gym is. Feels like it'd be easy to get lost on all those walkways. But we can come back and do it later - we're kind of on a mission today, you know?"
Nnnope, Noire's not homesick at all, nuh-uh.

"*Nod*" Just like her lego after a few rebuilds. Just a random splatter of colours! (Still delicious though.) But yeah, they should focus on their objective. "*Nod*" The orange haired girl turned back towards the elevator and mashed the 'call' button.

The group makes their way down and charters a trip down to Fuschia. It looks like Fuschia, as it would normally, doesn't have a port. But it seems one has been added right after the bicycle path for mostly this specific purpose. Convienient!
After a short and pleasant trip, the group makes their way to the other side, and then into Fuschia proper. And inside they find... Fuschia as they remember. Finally, something normal. All that leaves is for the party to decide where to head. It is later in the day at this point, as they did spend a lot of the day traveling. But it is still light enough to make their way deep into the city to find Melissa's old lab.
There's also Noire's house to visit, as well.

"At long last, my old home," Melissa says, conveniently forgetting the fact that she's never been here in her life for the sake of drama. She adjusts her glasses, which are gleaming ominously opaque in the late afternoon light. "Soon, the mysteries of my past will be revealed. Come, my faithful minions! To the old laboratory!"

Well. Stella had no idea where to go, so she was glad that some others seemed to know the place. And - she noted with a smirk - the lab assistant wasn't here thus didn't get counted as a faithful minion! Hah. Success!

Normally, Gwen would be annoyed with the mad doctor who thought so highly of herself. But, with a pretty girl in her lap, she had other things on her mind. Onwards towards...wherever Melissa was dragging them.

Melissa and her Minions (tm) make their way and find the building that was once Melissa of this world's lab. It looks like the building was a couple floors plus a basement, and mostly destroyed now. It 'looks' stable enough to explore. There's a sign on the door that reads 'Demolition halted due to investigation.'
The sign looks like it's been up for a bit. Seems that Melissa's lab demo has been put on the backburner for now.

Stella looks up at the decrepit building. Looked perfect for dungeoneering! But first; she put her orange hard hat ontop of her orange haired head. Now she was ready! Let's go! Stella grabbed her pick and hurried towards the building.

Noire doesn't realize for sure just how homesick she's been until they actually look down at the town. Her face turns an interesting color for a moment - and this time it's not because she's part Minun - and she squeezes Alexa's hand tightly, but doesn't say anything. At least not until Melissa does, at which point her smile comes back. "Sorry, whose old home, Doc? Aren't you from, like, Hoenn in our timeline?"
Stopping to visit her mom is going to have to wait a little while, though. They've got stuff to do, and at this point she's pretty sure Melissa and Stella aren't going to be derailed... except possibly by a new warning sign. "Investigation, huh? What, are they still investigating the fire, or is there something else up?"
She taps the sign thoughtfully, then just goes right ahead and pushes on the door to see if it's locked. And if not, she'll walk right in. She doesn't have a pickaxe, mostly because she's already got a Skarmory. And she's not totally sure what they'd be mining in an abandoned building anyway. "Well, let's get looking. Hey, Doc, your notes have anything about the layout of this place? 'Cause if not, I should probably be on the top floor team. I don't know about that floor, but I'm pretty light."

As Noire taps the sign, she does notice there is some sort of claim number for the investigation. Maybe for looking up details?
