[X] Act like everything is normal and greet them as she is. After all, this has to be a dream, right?
Relax, Rosie. You're dreaming. This is one of those creepy naked dreams, you just passed out and now you're dreaming. You've read about this before. Lucid dreaming? You were more tired than you thought, and you probably passed out. You're gonna wake up in your bed in just a few minutes, right next to Jamie. And if this is a dream...well...I can do anything I like! With no consequences.
Rosie held her breath for a moment as she gathered her thoughts, and then appeared from behind the tree, walking with purpose toward the trail with a confident smile on her face. Despite the obvious sensation of the grass on her bare feet, and the cool breeze on her body, she had still convinced herself that she was vividly dreaming. Nothing could stop her.
"Um....h-hi!" She walked out from the woods, waving at the person approaching, who seemed to be wheeling a cart in front of them. It was a man, probably about middle-aged, with a small, frilled top and a pair of cargo shorts and sandals on his feet.
"Hello, miss!" He waved back as he got closer, startled a bit as he noticed her utter lack of clothing. He averted his eyes for a moment as he stopped on the trail. "Oh! I do apologize, I...I didn't realize..."
"Whoa...he's so lifelike." Rosie stepped closer, smiling a little as she stood proudly in front of him, letting her whole body be on display for him, complete with her fiery bush and perky B-cups. "Hi, mister...um..."
What do I even say? Should I try to get him to wake me up? "I...I think I'm like...dreaming?" She stood in front of the man, who practically towered over him like most people did, as she stood at just 5 foot 1.
"Um...well, I don't know about that, miss..." He trailed off a bit as he eyed Rosie's body up and down, giving her a slight chill down her back as she felt his eyes take in her every inch from head to toe. She had a slight sinking feeling that maybe she was totally wrong about this after all. But how was that possible?
She shook her head as she followed the man down the trail, peering into his wagon. It was full of what appeared to be various textile objects with colorful patterns and fur on them. She felt a little mortified and awkward as she wondered where they might have come from.
Does this guy skin Pokemon??
"W-wait...is this...like...real?"
"Well, I mean, I think the same sometimes, myself, but I assure, you, miss, there is nothing strange afoot. Are you alright? Did you have a run-in with a Musharna recently?
"Musharna? Like the psychic type?" Rosie had a lingering sense of dread that slowly crept up on her as they spoke. Was this real after all? Had she made a horrible mistake? She found herself slowing down a little and moving her arms closer to her privates instinctively.
"Yep. There have been stories about people's Pokemon going missing recently, and a big rise in the population of Musharna in these woods recently. Believe it or not, you are not the first person to wind up lost out here, but...you are the first to be so...naked.
Rosie stopped in her tracks and blushed profusely. "W-wait...so, this...isn't a dream...." She stared down at her nude body, her face growing pinker than ever as she hunched over and covered herself with her arms. "Oh my GOD! I thought it was...I thought I....h-hey, you have to help me!"
"I, uh..." He scratched his head as he looked down at his wares in the wagon, and back at her. "W-what am I supposed to do?"
Rosie looked up at him with a frustrated frown. "Umm, some clothes, maybe?!"
"Oh, uh..." He looked down at the wagon, which had nothing but small fragments of various cloth fabrics inside. Nothing wearable, or even big enough to cover her. "Um...I'm afraid I'm actually running short on my usual wears right now..."
"What? You're a...a trapper...or like...you skin Pokemon or whatever, right? You don't have anything I can wear?" She hid close behind him as he continued down the route, in the direction of the city. Her arms were up against her chest, and a hand over her pussy as she cowered behind him.
"Whaat? Arceus no, I don't
skin Pokemon. These are just my current designs, I like to model my wares after Pokemon patterns. This piece I was working on is modeled after a Pikachu." He held up a small piece of bright yellow fabric with black stripes near the top. "But I had to stop my work when my Cottonee that I use to make these disappeared. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the Musharna sightings here in these woods. They don't usually hang around here, but something has been disturbing them.
"Okay, yeah, great, man, listen...I'm begging you here." Rosie stood in front of him, uncovering her chest to put a hand on the man's shoulder. "I don't know how I got here, but I need to get home. I have...no idea how I'm supposed to do that, but before I try to figure that out, um...I'd...kinda like to not be naked...you understand me?"
"I do, ma'am, but I'm afraid I have nothing but scraps in here. As long as I don't have my Cottonee, I can't make you anything." He shrugged and pushed past her, leaving her on her own as he walked away with his cart. "I do wish you the best of luck, though, miss."
"What? H-hey..." Rosie covered up again and followed him, feeling incredibly vulnerable and increasingly frustrated now. "W-where are you going? Is this how your mother raised you?! You see a naked chick on the road asking for help and you leave me behind?"
"Listen, hun, I'd love to help, but if my wife sees me with someone like you, that'll be the end of it. I am already late coming home, and we have a hard conversation about our rent payments coming up soon, so I really must be going."
"Ugh." Rosie stood behind the man as he walked away again, still covering herself, and growing even more frustrated. She was already lost and confused as it was, but to be naked on top of it...either way, it was clear that this man would be of no help to her right now. But still, she didn't want to be alone like this. She felt so vulnerable, and as night fell further, she shivered a bit from the chilly air. "Hey, wait up! Man, listen, okay...c-can you at least...could you maybe...get me something to wear in town, and bring it out to me? I hate to ask, I just...don't want to go in there like this, and well, I have no money."
"Didn't you hear me, miss? Without my Cottonee, I can't make clothes, and without my clothes, I barely have enough to keep the lights on."
She pleaded with him more now, neglecting to even cover herself as she spoke. "I...okay..I get it. You need your Cottonee." She had an idea. Cottonee produce a cotton-like substance, so if he was around here somewhere, and she could find him...maybe she could get it to make her a dress or something to wear. "Do you know where he might be?"
The man sighed. "If I did, I wouldn't be having this issue, now would I?"
"I...okay, that's fair." She trailed off for a moment, her legs bowing a little from the cold and her lingering shame as she held a hand against her crotch to hide her bush. "W-where was the last place you saw him?"
"He was with me. Just today, not even a few hours ago, and then...suddenly he just wasn't. I blame those Musharna that have been creeping around, I think they kidnapped my poor Pokemon. Either that, or it was that Team Plasma coming back again. I'd heard they were up to their old tricks again."
"Team Plasma...right. They're the evil team in this game."
"Game? Miss, what are you-"
"Nothing." A thought was forming in Rosie's mind. There was this old show her dad used to watch where this guy would leap to different time periods and had to help people make their lives better if he wanted to go home. Maybe this was something like that. As far as she knew, she didn't have any weird science experiments done with her, but...it was all she had right now. Hopefully she could find some clothes along the way, but she had to get home, first things first. It was the only thing she knew. "S-so...if I can find this Cottonee...you'll help me?"
"Well, yes. I'd be happy to reward you, I miss him dearly."
"Alright. I'll...see what I can do."
"If you hear anything...go to the Castelia Tailor and ask for Milton. That's me. They'll know where to send you."
"Y-you got it." She covered herself tightly as she stood to the side of the trail, her face flushed as she noticed him looking at her, but she tried to keep her smile.
God dammit, that was a bust...but I got a lead. Two of them. No clothes, though...hopefully those will come soon. I have to pray. Two places I can check now...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[] Head back into the woods and see what she finds there, maybe a lead on the Musharna?
[] Head into town and ask about Team Plasma, since they seem to be involved in all of this.
[] See if she can make something to preserve her modesty first out of whatever might be around: leaves, grass...mud?
