Thanks for participating, and welcome (belatedly) to Johto! Though it sounds like you've got a lot to handle back home, we hope you're still able to enjoy your stay here.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about how future surveys can be improved - what might be factors in bringing someone to Johto - feel free to contribute! We appreciate the time you've taken to help us out.

Thank you and you're welcome. Do you really think there's a reason we've been brought here, though?

Even the slightest chance is worth investigating, if we can learn something that might help others later - or lead to a way home for those eager to depart.

I see... Good luck on your investigation then. I hope you figure out something.

Thanks! The results have been intriguing already.
