Greg awoke in a startled manner, shooting upright from sleep like a launched firecracker. He rubbed his eyes in a futile attempt to correct his blurry vision. He reached for his eyeglasses, which someone had placed on the small wooden nightstand next to the bed. There was also a lamp, which illuminated the room in a sort of ugly, pee-colored glow. He examined his surroundings as his eyes adjusted. The walls were made of cinderblock and were a drab, chalk white color. There was a single window that filtered in rectangular beams of gold sunlight through the metal bars that covered it. The only other furniture in the room was a small refrigerator.
Greg swung his legs over the side of the bed, his feet, on which his socks and sneakers still remained, hitting the linoleum floor. He spotted his Teddiursa, Kuruk, his Phanpy, Draper, and his Eevee, Lucy, sleeping in front of him. He knelt down in front of them, opening the refrigerator to grab the lone water bottle that was inside.
"Hey, guys, wake up," he said softly. "We have to figure out where we are."
The Pokémon opened their eyes slowly before becoming aware of the scene around them. Greg opened the water bottle and placed it in front of the trio.
"Drink this if you're thirsty. Don't worry, we're going to find a way out of here," he said, trying to quell the Pokémon's nerves before they began to panic.
Greg check his PokéGear. "No reception," he grumbled, putting the device back in his pocket.
"Draper, try using Rollout on the door!" Greg called to the small blue elephant Pokémon.
Draper paused from sipping from the water bottle, which Kuruk was helping tilt into his mouth, due to being the only bipedal Pokémon out of the three. He curled his head down to meet his hind legs and rolled forward swiftly, denting the metal door in the process.
"Again!" Greg said, as Draper dashed forward, rolling into a ball and slamming into the door, which bulged outwards from the room from the impact.
"Now, Lucy and Draper, use Tackle! Kuruk, use Scratch!"
All three Pokemon's collided with the door and it flew of it hinges into the corridor outside. "Great job," Greg said, surprisingly composed. Lucy and Kuruk each leapt up onto the trainer's shoulders and Draper strolled beside him. Greg noticed a group of trainers gathering in the corridor and approached them.
