.001 Δ [Video/Action for Cherrygrove]

[The feed flips on to show a man holding a brush in one hand and a young Shinx in his lap. Both of them appear to have been freshly bathed, with the damp Shinx swaddled in one of Cherrygrove Inn's warm, fluffy towels. When all of her wriggling and protesting comes to naught, she just lies there in her towel burrito and seethes. York, on the other hand, has found that shops in this world do, apparently, sell hair product for humans, and he couldn't be happier. He's fixed his hair for the first time in days. Life is wonderful.

Not that vanity's necessarily the reason he hasn't introduced himself to the PokéConnect community at large yet. It's just. You know. Coincidence.]


Good morning, people. And Pokémon, too, of course, can't forget you guys. For those of you I haven't spoken to yet, I'm York, I'm one of your more recent unwitting transplants to sunny Johto. Or, well, partially cloudy Johto, anyway. How about that weather, huh?

[The temperature has dropped literally twenty degrees in the five days since he got here, oh my god, why. Being caught out on the road in yesterday's rainstorm sucked. Now he's warm and dry and comfortable in a clean shirt a couple sizes too big for him (and he's not exactly a small man). Really, what could be better than being alive here and now?

He rubs the Shinx's fur drier, unwraps her, and then holds her still before she can escape so he can brush the tangles out. She mewls fussily, but his hands are steady, and eventually she relaxes--if mutinously--into the attention. He chuckles a little.]


But okay, I'm not actually here to make small talk. I got a question for you folks.

[He turns the PokéGear with the back of his brush to show another Pokémon, an Elgyem, bundled up in a blanket on the bed, fast asleep.]

Can someone tell me more about Psychic Pokémon? [He goes back to brushing.] I get that they read minds--Delta Two there communicates with me all the time--but she doesn't use words so it's hard to get more...complicated ideas across, sometimes. I was wondering, can you train them to talk? Or do other things? These guys are obviously a lot more intelligent than the animals back on my Earth, so I guess you could say I'm curious about what they can do.

[The Shinx's eyes are half-closed now as York brushes away. Someone's a sleepy baby.]

'Preciate your time. Over and out.

((Action also available for Cherrygrove, where he can be found at the inn or browsing the PokéMart stock.))

I wasn't going to when I first got here. But then Killua-san was looking for people to help with his sweets hop, Honeyed Soul. [Good pay.]

The people that are natives here.... don't seem too interested in a lot of things. Like that mom lady, or that old guy who gives you your first Pokémon.

[The shadows is where the party's at!

Roxas doesn't really know how to respond to that. What he wanted was his friends from home. And they weren't real in the first place.]


... do you need help picking anything out for you or your Pokémon?

Not exactly. It's just more expensive to help support two teams rather than just one. Pokemon don't eat for free, after all.

Oh, no, of course not. There were stalactites at the bottom of the canyon, he really would have died.

[She waves it off with a gesture of her hand.]

Besides, our target was practically attached to him.

He's... certainly doing better, at least.

[She's not sure how the sim soldiers do for his blood pressure, but, you know. Whatever.]

Who knows. You might even be proud of him.

[She certainly is.]

Reading? You can do that?

[That sounds like a good idea. Roxas looks around.]

I think that stuff is a few aisles over.

Oh, once you get enough badges, the music changes. It was really weird. It's pretty easy to ignore otherwise. I just think of most of the people here as NPC's.

[It was weird at first. Now she still just rolls with it.]
islandshore: (unsure)

[personal profile] islandshore 2015-10-01 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Geez, why is it that every other world I hear about sounds a million times cooler than mine? Just my luck that I'm from the past...

[Sora got to go on cool adventures. And, okay, he'll get to eventually, but he's spent five years with no worldhopping experience.

His wanderlust is something else.]


Well, if it makes you feel any better, you probably won't have to worry about killer aliens here. There's your criminal organizations, but that's usually about as bad as it gets.

Oh, the music changes with what you're doing. Battling, going into buildings, different routes and towns... It took me a week to get used to that until I went to Kanto. The music there is way different.

... I hope mine don't.

[There'd be awkward messages to apologize for.

Roxas nods with a smile.]


Yep. I'll probably see you around when you get to Goldenrod.

[Guess who knows a shortcut there. Alas, he waves and goes back to trying to find decent snacks.]
islandshore: (yeah right)

[personal profile] islandshore 2015-10-04 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
More like your typical Saturday Morning baddies with a side of terrorism. Lots of bombings, sometimes freaky experiments... You can never really tell with those guys.

[Sure, there was also Team Magma and Team Aqua, but that was eons ago... well, a year ago, to be precise.]

Heh. He tried, though... I don't know. I like having my own space. ... Which begs the question as to why I ended up with so many Pokemon, I suppose. But it just ends up happening.
crouching_sin: (so call me maybe?)

That's true. I have a cousin who was basically a brother to me, and... well. I don't know if you have siblings, but sometimes I wished I could put him in a Pokeball.
