[High on the rooftop of Goldenrod's Radio Tower is where Riku makes his first appearance. Smoke and fire continue to burn at the city. He's... not entirely sure what he's doing there or why there are a bunch of weird turtle-things having a ball.

What does matter is that he's gotten himself a snazzy looking Keyblade and there's a whole swarm of Neoshadows down below.

So, what does Riku do? He takes a dive straight off of the building, grinning like mad, and drives his new Keyblade into the horde. His Charizard swoops down to join him, followed by the rest of his main team: Draco the Dragonite, Ace the Lucario, Zen the Blastoise, Blade the Scizor, and even Quake the Garchomp.

But just as soon as they get into the swing of things, they're warped elsewhere. They'll be showing up all across Johto and Kanto, fighting off stupid Heartless until they eventually recede.

But just when it seems like the fun's at its end, Riku and his team arrive in the center of Celadon...

Amidst 1000 more Heartless. At that point, Riku promptly slaps his palm over his face.]

Seriously? This is getting a little ridiculous...

[Later on, when the coast is clear, Riku finds himself with a new problem. It's at that point that he addresses the network, though people are welcome to see him with his new companion as well.]

Okay, does anyone know where this bat even came from? I already checked, and it's not a Pokémon. Could've fooled me, though.

[Seriously, this bat is just... nuzzling his face. What even?]

[ooc: Also, the icons are a lie. This Riku is seventeen due to a few years in Route, but it's not a major detail or anything. Just thought I'd note that juust in case!]

[More impressive tricks, huh? Riku only wonders how he's even managing to pull those off. Rather than dwell on it too heavily, though, he hops up and latches onto a Surveillance Robot, aiming its laser down at a squad of Armored Knights.

While Riku does his thing, Flare lets out a roar before spewing flames at the crowd. One snap of his claws, and a rockslide drags down a handful of those blue Wyverns.

Ace and Blade stand back to back, punching anything in their path, with the occasional Aura Spheres thrown in.

They might not be Dream Eaters, but they fulfill a similar purpose. And, hey, more backup never hurts!

Hopefully they'll be able to whittle them down in time. After exploiting another Surveillance Robot's laser, Riku hops back to the ground and shoots his double another look.]

How are you even pulling those stunts?

[ooc: Hey, no problem! I'm gonna be a little slow myself due to school and some work on my fic. Also, I included some image links for the Pokés helping out, if that makes things any easier. C:]

[While his twin does his thing, Riku just whacks a Heartless over the head with his Keyblade.

The question from his twin gets him to consider on how to answer that. He's been watching his double carefully, even though he's done nothing to remind him of his replica, he still can't be too careful.]

Tell me first. What was the last thing you were doing before you ended up here? [He doesn't know how long his double has been around here - short or long - but it couldn't hurt to ask.]

[ooc: Might be the last tag for now, tied up with friends and family today. The Pokés I do know are from Smash Brawl, but that's about it. Thanks for the links though!]

Working on the raft, but that was almost three years ago.

[Two and a half, at any rate, which makes him effectively older than his future counterpart despite the time gap.

...yeah, it's pretty weird. Fortunately, this Riku's not going to stress it too much. Still gotta whittle down the mob after all!]
