I think we must have been split up somehow. Ruby and I woke up in New Bark at about the same time, and it's been about a day since that happened. Penny had been here for a few months, and a friend of hers helped us out. She has a Pokémon - the little creatures in the red-and-white balls - that can teleport things and people.

I think the big things you need to know are that time apparently freezes back home, time acts really strangely here, and things should be okay till we get back.
