We've been walking for quite some time, finally spotting what seemed to be the Cave we've been looking for up ahead.

"...So, who's gonna learn those TM's?" Mina asked from his side.

"Good question. It doesn't seem like anybody but you and Via can learn either of these moves. Not even Bun or Bea can learn either Flash or Water Gun." I said.

"Ha! If they could learn Water Gun then they wouldn't need to be worrying about being Rock-Types!" Via said from the Bag.

"...Via, Buneary and Bunnelby are both Normal-Types."

",,,N-... No. They... They shouldn't be, right? I mean, they both burrow underground, and..."

"Well, that's because they know... Wait, how do they know Dig? Isn't that a TM Move?"

"I can answer that."

Bea suddenly pops out of the ground, and Bun not long after.

"Did you guys find a TM?" I asked.

"Although by accident, we stumbled upon the Road where Team Rocket was guarding the Forest. But some Biker needed to go through, so they inspected him. Not too long after, the Biker sped by, and something flung off of him into the Forest near us."

"And that was Dig..."

"Bingo."

"Do you still have it on you?"

Bea looked towards Bun, who then put their hands into the Fluff around their waist...

And taking the Tan Colored Disk from the Fluff, Bun hands it to me.

"Y-... You can do that?" I said, surprised as I took the Disk.

"Y-Yes..." Bun said, taking a step back in embarrassment.

"That's... Interesting. ...Well, this makes 3 now. I guess I should try collecting as many as I should, huh?"

"Where would you put them? And... Now that I think about it, I don't remember you having that Bag the first time we met..." Bea asked.

"Oh, well, remember how I said I was from a Different World?"

"You said something like that, yes."

"Well, when I got here I was apparently given 3 Wishes. In order it went from Me Understanding Pokemon, Me getting a certain... "System"... then me getting this "Bag of Holding"."

"Bag of Holding? So, what, it stores more than it looks?"

Looking around, I find a large Rock, and put it in the Bag

"HOLY MOTHER OF ARCEUS- ...Huh?" Via shouted from within the Bag.

"Sorry, Via. Is there a Rock in there?"

"Y-You nearly gave me a heart attack! God... ...But... No. I saw you put one in, but when you did it just... disappeared. ...What was that?" She was confused... and very startled.

"I put it in the Bag's "Inventory". The best part is, it's only bound to "me", so if someone took it, they wouldn't be able to open it, let alone access its contents." I threw the rock back out.

"...Weird, but Okay. ...So, you got a few Wishes, woke up in the middle of some Random Forest, and have no idea how you got here?" Mina asked.

"Before coming here the only thing I can remember is a Flash of Light when I was out during my Day Off, playing some Games at a nearby Public Park. I believe the last game I played was..."

"...Souta?" Mina looked worried after looking at my expression.

"...I... can't remember. ...All I know was that I was playing a Game..."
