001 - VIDEO

[Well, there’s definitely some kind of fiddling going on here from someone who doesn’t seem to know how to operate these things… but hey, it focused eventually, right? Well, anyway, right now there’s a rather imposing looking man standing on Route 29, who seem completely unfazed by by both the situation at hand and the fact that it is snowing pretty damn hard.

There is also a bird made of swords chilling in the background, holy shit. ...'chilling' is meant kind of literally, there's snow piling up on that thing. ...although if it minds it's not really giving any indication that it does.]


This device seems to be working, so let me cut to the chase. I’ve spoken to several people who seem to live here, and they seem to be quite capable of telling me about this place-and it’s definitely one hell of a place they’ve got here, I’ll grant them that!

>[Well, hey, at least someone’s taking this well! He does serious up a bit for the next bit of conversation, though.]

However, I’m not entirely clear on why I’m here-although, I do have some ideas. I assume that at least one of you will be able to give me a decent explanation without eventually starting to repeat everything that they just said.

[ Well... that voice sounds familiar... ]

[ ... Oh man... he's not sure how he feels about this... 'cause the Fuhrer technically doesn't have any authority here. But at the same time, he's the Fuhrer...

And he's a little creepy sometimes... ]

[ .... How to start this... Maes isn't sure who you've spoken to, Bradley, so he doesn't really know if he'd be able to give you any new information...

But not responding would seem kind of mean. Fuhrer deserves the same helping hand anyone else would receive. ]

[ Oh! Right. Your son arrived a few days ago. That's new information, right? ]

5/? ... I'm so sorry for this...

[identity profile] eliciadaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ But wait... how does one even go about saying that...? "Hey Fuhrer I've never really spoken to before, welcome to this strange new land. Btws, I told your son I would meet up with him to help him out. You want to join us?"

... that's awkward...

... How does one interact with the Fuhrer anyways? ]

6/6 I'm done, I promise... I never do this...

[identity profile] eliciadaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Salute. ]

Fuhrer, Sir!

[ Awkward pause. ]

You've just arrived here?

...it's okay, man.

[identity profile] notrueking.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[...oh.

Well, that narrows things down a bit. Given what happened, it was the most likely scenario, but-just... give him a moment...]


...Interesting to see you here, Lt. Colonel Hughes. As for your question-yes, I have.

... 8) Everyone wants Hughes spam anyways...

[identity profile] eliciadaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid I may not be able to provide much information, Sir. I've only just recently arrived, myself, and have not worked out all the details.

[ not unless you want to hear about the adventures of the Ace Alchemist Investigations team... ]

But... well, I will try to fill in as many blanks as I can.

exactly.

[identity profile] notrueking.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't exactly care how much you know-I just want to know what you can tell me.

[in other words, tell him all about the investigations.]

[identity profile] eliciadaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-22 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ..... Fuhrer! So scary ._. ]

Sir! [ He's starting to wonder why he's talking like this. 'Cause technically... Bradley isn't in charge here. ]

This is a place called Johto. We are all unsure as to how, exactly, we've arrived here, but... it seems that this place takes people randomly from different worlds and puts them through the same beginning scenario. [ Relatively, anyways. We'll ignore the fact that Team Rocket exists right now. ] We seem to be pulled from different timelines, as well.

[ A pause, as he thinks of what else to say. ]

Ah, that bird over there, was it given to you by a professor? [ He's going to assume you're not a Team Rocket member Bradley... because... Hughes doesn't really wan to think about that. ]

[identity profile] notrueking.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
....hmm... I see.

[So his initial guess seems to be wrong, at least when applied universally. That... sounds like it can be confusing, but he's not going to question the 'different worlds' or 'different timelines' thing given how bizarre this is already.]

There are no hard rules on when one can be pulled from, then? This all seems very strange, though I didn't expect things to make much sense after some woman who's at most twenty years younger than me started insisting that she was my mother.

[weird as shit, man.]

Yes, it was. Although, I can't exactly be sure if that man was a professor...

[...or if he was even properly human.]

[identity profile] eliciadaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-24 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
No rules that we know of yet, sir. [ He laughs a little at the professor comment, but doesn't really want to dwell on that, because... Maes never met the professor... ]

The rumor is that there is a challenge. Defeat all the gym leaders in each city, and then some group called the Elite Four, and they'll allow you to go home. Otherwise, I am uncertain if there is another route home.

[identity profile] notrueking.livejournal.com 2011-12-25 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[he doesn't either, man. for the opposite reason.]

So these gym leaders and 'Elite Four' are in charge here, then? They must be quite powerful if they're capable of that sort of thing.

[sounds interesting. ...and not just because FIGHTING]

[identity profile] eliciadaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-25 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... Sure, something like that... ]

I've heard the gym leaders are relatively straight-forward to defeat so long as you train your Pokemon well. There is a very basic leveling system, and they gain experience points for each Pokemon they defeat.

As far as I'm aware, though, nobody has ever challenged the Elite Four before.

[identity profile] notrueking.livejournal.com 2011-12-26 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
...what do you mean by "leveling system?"

[what the fuck is a game mechanic.]

Hmmm. Well, I suppose it will be confirmed or denied at some point.

[identity profile] eliciadaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-26 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's okay, it took Maes a while to get too. Good thing he's smart and catches on fast. ]

They've got a pretty organized system of showing you how strong your Pokemon are against others. Each Pokemon has a numerical 'level' which moves up with more experience it gains. A level 50, for example, would probably easily overtake a level 30. I believe the ones we are given to start out are all level 5.

[identity profile] notrueking.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That's... hm. I suppose it is rather convenient to know what your chances of winning are! How do you go about checking what level your Pokemon is?

[identity profile] eliciadaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
That device you're holding in your head. When you point it at different Pokemon, it reads off a list of statistics...

[ Saying it, even after being here for two months, is... strange... ]

[identity profile] notrueking.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm! This thing really does everything, doesn't it...? I'll have to give that a try, then.

[identity profile] eliciadaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It does... come in quite handy sometimes.

[identity profile] notrueking.livejournal.com 2011-12-28 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I can definitely see how it would. I'll have to experiment with it a bit, then.

[identity profile] eliciadaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-28 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah! Fuhrer, Sir. Your son, he arrived a few days before.

[ Yup. Son must be missing his Daddy, right? That's what sons and fathers are like... right...? ]

[identity profile] notrueking.livejournal.com 2011-12-28 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh-did he, now? I suppose I should start thinking of this like it's some sort of family vacation, then!

[identity profile] eliciadaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-28 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a new way of thinking about it!

[identity profile] notrueking.livejournal.com 2011-12-28 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[man hughes it is a good thing you do not grasp the full implications of that]

Is anyone traveling with him? From what I've gathered, this sort of thing seems oriented to children his age... but I can't help worrying, you know.
