1st Grail: [Action for Goldenrod]
[There is a young girl in Team attire wandering the halls.
Ilya was getting bored sitting and waiting for someone to come get her, and she doesn't yet understand how to use the gear, so instead she's decided to poke her head out and find out about this place firsthand. She doesn't seem to have any real idea where she's going, or what most of the things she's surrounded by are, so she could probably be found anywhere, and she's distracted enough that other team members will probably notice her before she notices them.
That, however, is not true of the Duskull that just popped out in front of her, right in the face of anyone looking at her. Red eyes staring at them, it lets out a spooky wail.
She turns to follow the sound and beams, uncaring of how discomfited the other member may or may not be.]
Good work, Orpheus, you found someone!
[Late in the afternoon in Goldenrod city, there is the sound of something pounding on the pavement.
Is it a swarm of pokemon in the city? A new rocket plot? Another angry legendary?
Nope, it's just a young girl-]
Faster, Berserker, Faster!
[Riding through town on the back of her Rhyhorn.
People dive out of the way of the galloping rock-type, but Ilya doesn't seem to care in the slightest. She throws back her head and laughs gleefully, not even paying attention to anything but the rush of her ride.
... Someone might want to try and stop her before she smashes something.]

action;
Machina. Gladius. I believe you know what to do.
[ Machina the Metagross lets out a noise and places itself firmly in front of Saber. When the Rhyhorn closes in, Machina places a Protect on itself, mashing its steel face with the Rhyhorn's rock hard horn and effectively stopping the beast in its path by digging its claws into the ground. The Scizor leaps forward in a fighting stance, but doesn't actually let loose anything just yet. Saber moves around to address the rider. ]
I, myself, adore the thrills and excitement one gains by joyriding, but it is children who run on reckless abandon that I must reprimand. Do you not see well beyond the crown of your Rhyhorn, child?
action;
And her jaw drops. She doesn't even respond to Saber's question, because the first thing that comes out of her mouth is-]
Two Sabers?
action;
Saber arches a brow at that before crossing her arms. ]
So you have met the other one. I presume you know of her through some previous Holy Grail War encounter?
action;
[She is so weirded out right now. This woman obviously has very little in common with the Saber she knows, and she's never heard of a Saber like her being summoned, but then she doesn't know everything about the previous Wars...
Berserker the Rhyhorn continues the stare off, not really following the conversation or caring. He's just waiting for his Mistress to recall him or tell him to attack.]
Which one were you part of?
action;
Her eyes narrow in thought at the information she's receiving. Illyasviel von Einzbern. The same last name as the woman Arturia previously mentioned before. Filing that thought away for another time, Saber puffs up her chest for a moment. ]
The Holy Grail War hosted by the SE.RA.PH. upon the Moon Cell's recreation of the real world Holy Grails. A digital copy, so to speak.
[ Also deja vu. A small, waifish looking girl who held command over a Berserker? Hmm. ]
action;
[She's repulsed by the idea almost as a matter of course. Technology and magic don't go together, everyone knows that. Trying to combine the two is just... anathema.]
And they succeeded?
[That's even more unreal. It's like its own form of sorcery. Then again, so is them being brought into this world and made truly human.]
action;
[ Then she lets out a soft chuckle as she recalls the differences she's heard about how real world Holy Grail Wars and the one hosted by SE.RA.PH. were different. ]
Though the one I participated was far more organized and expansive... yet no less dangerous.
action;
[A world without magic... at least this one still has Pokemon, which are a lot like magic familiars in their own way. If even those weren't around...
She shudders a bit at the thought.]
Well, if it wasn't dangerous, it wouldn't be a Holy Grail War.
action;
[ Her stare gets more analytical as she regards Illyasviel once more. ]
Tell me, child: do you have any personal association with a woman named Irisviewl von Einzbern?
action;
That's... my mother's name...
[Her eyes widen, and her lips quiver.]
How do you know my mother?
action;
Once, I spoke with her here. Though, I believe the other Saber was far more familiar with her than I.
action;
[Ilya's voice quivers as much as her lips now.]
Is she still here?
action;
It was over a month ago that I have heard she is gone. That is this world's fickle demeanor regarding whether or not we come here, or how long we even stay.
action;
[Ilya's face looks like it's about to crumple for a moment, then she turns her head so her hair covers her expression.]
I missed her by a month... So this world sends us home as quickly and easily as it brings us in?
action;
[ Pause. Smirks. ]
Though, it appears you were doing that already.
action;
Yes, I was. It was a lot of fun, riding on Berserker's back.
action;
[ The phrase is said in a lighthearted manner, but there's something to it that adds a hint she won't be afraid to do so. ]
action;
Then she looks down at the Metagross's eyes. After a couple moments, she sighs and folds her arms, but nods, looking entirely like a scolded child.]
Fine. I'll be more careful.
action;
Splendid. Now then, are you a new arrival? I have not heard or seen of your presence before now.
action;
That's right. I just came to this world, but I've talked to other people who've told me about most of the rules here.
action;
Did they now? Hmm. You came rather quickly from New Bark town to here.
[ Then again, she's heard that other people are arriving in Kanto now... but Goldenrod just seemed the odd one out that she hasn't heard of before. ]
action;
[Oh no, that was right, Mister Kimblee'd told her that showing up in Goldenrod at first was something only Rockets did. Would this woman know that, too?]
Is... there something strange about showing up in Goldenrod first?
action;
Only that you are the first to have claimed to start here upon arrival. I would not know why that is, however.
action;
[Well, that's unnerving... how did the others all somehow manage to hide this fact?]
action;
[ But something about Ilyasviel's wording... ]
You believe that there are others who have arrived here?
