(I'll say this happens after Nathan's conversation with Spira.)

Nathan doing a double take is an understatement.  He's not sure he's seeing things correctly at first.  Is that...Terra?  With medieval weapons and armor equipped?!

They hadn't experienced another lurch or anything, right?  And he's not asleep, right?  Well, it is entirely possible he dozed off...

Gallade pinches Nathan.  "Ow!  What was that for Ga..."

He looks back at Terra...

Oh.  He's not dreaming.  Well then...

At first, Nathan's still stunned enough that he only asks Terra about the gear itself, and not what's been painted on it.  "...where and how did you manage to get that?  And do you even know how to use any of it?"

The mountain of a man was in quite a good mood as he returned to the group's campsite with Shiranui, the both of them smiling and humming a wordless melody as they ambled along. Though his attempt to get a Bunnlby/Diggersby ended in failure due to not possessing the sufficient capital, it caused him to explore the King's Era Campsite more thoroughly than he would, leading him to discovering all sorts of people and things. Finding Sir Artist and learning about the Legends he painted, happening upon the commoner's camp and doing charity work for them all (and becoming a priest/cleric, strangely enough), locating the weapon's wagon and making a savvy trade......all of that and a little more wouldn't have happened if he'd gotten his bunny and returned to the group immediately. 

'Guess Mama sayings were right again: 'When one doors closes, many more open.' He...I'm glad. ....Hope everyone here does okay when Sammy.....hm.'

Overall, it had been an exceptionally pleasant outing for Terra, one he would not soon forget as he continued his journey through the region.....and time itself! It was marred a bit by the fact that the ancient harmony he witnessed wouldn't last forever due to Sammy tyrannical future, but he did the best not to let that get him down.

When he finally arrived back, Nathan's expression of gobsmacked disbelief was meet with confusion on the simple monk's part. Why were they so surprised to see him, when he said earlier that he'd be back soon enough.....? 

Contrarily, the sumo wrestler took on good look at the boy, his blood brother, and then let out big non-derisive belly laugh, enjoying both of their reactions. Unlike his partner, he understood instantly why the clever trainer was so stunned, and could not help but find some enjoyment in the anomalous situation. He didn't mean ill by his laughter, though, which Gallade could easily attest. It was just that this situation was so absurd that with or without context, one couldn't help but find some humor in it!

Their questions managed to rouse Terra out of his perplexed state of mind, prompting him to think a bit before he answered , pointing at the King's Men Campsite as he did so.

"Got armaments at the camp. Traded for them with the Treasure Maps I bought. Was interested in getting some, so I could sell them back in.....our time. *Beat* Also thought they were cool, so got them for that reason too. (...) How to use them? Hm.....sorta. Know how to use shield, but sword or spear.....not so much. I Fight mostly with my fists, but have swung around.....big sticks and logs to defend myself many times. So know how to handle Melee Weapons a little. Hm....maybe Gallade can teach me more, though? He uses blades on his arms to Fight, so should know how to handle them well."

He gave the psychic knight a curious stare at this point, asking if they would be willing to give him a lesson(s) on the art of sword fighting. If not, he'd understand.

Heart was indeed impress in see Terra armed like a ancient warrior of that times and let out a wristle. "Wow. I guess your incursion was very produtive Terra! Incredible! I might want to try myself in some battle too. Its been a while since Koa and Typhon have go in some good ol battles. My search was goo too my friend. I have found and captured a true ghost sword pokemon with me! But dont worry, I already send him to the future to not cause any great ruckus. Also, mind if someday I train hand to hand combat my friend? Some spar without pokemon battles would be cool."
