You hop through the ring portals, barely escaping Eggman's forces and making it through (mostly) unscathed. On the plus side, you're all here - in fact, you'll find Tails and Vakama nearby, with the fox having brought your pal here too.
But unfortunately, "here" is not exactly the best place to be.
"Back here again...? Sheesh, I really can't catch a break.
"What is this place, Sonic?"
"This is the space between worlds. The void, I guess you could call it."
Everywhere you look there's a whole lot of nothing. Gemstone-like shards litter this reality in all sorts of shapes and sizes, serving as obstacles or platforms; they're sturdy enough to walk and stand on, but this world's rules are a little different from what you're used to. For one, gravity doesn't really work properly - you may find yourself floating or walking upside-down on a shard you didn't mean to end up on, and it's going to take some getting used to.
There's not really much to do or see here either - at least, not for now. You're welcome to explore this strange place, but you won't find anything particularly interesting... with one notable exception as seen in the comment below.
No matter where you go, no matter what you do, you'll feel like you're being watched.
Mm. It likely wasn't a priority, if this had to happen with such little notice.
When things have calmed down, then we can take stock of what is a necessity for immediate retrieval. If doing so will even be a viable option, at least.
["Caught" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, seeing as he just walked outside and picked one up, but Pokemon terminology and all...]
I wished to see if receiving individual attention might help it return to normal. It does seem to have...maybe perked up a bit. Or perhaps I am imagining it. Either way, I caught it, so it is my responsibility now.
I've never heard of such a thing... [It's an open statement, because there is so much here he hasn't heard of -- squirrel is just another thing to add to the list, apparently.] Is it a creature of some sort?

[He's just using "animal" in all the places he'd normally use "Pokemon".]
They're endemic to the area, as far as I can tell - there's no green part of Chicago that doesn't have some.
