notchinese | Day 1 [Video/Action for New Berk Town]

[Hello Network, its been a while since you've last seen this girl. She may look a little different than you may remember her. Maybe a little older, a slightly different wardrobe or a look on her face that actually looks content in god knows how long. Other than that, she practically looks the same that she did months ago. Only problem is, however...]

...God, this is all weird. Out of the Ishiyama kids to throw into a video game, the non-gamer one is the one that gets chosen. Terrific. Sounds like something from a cliche kid's book...

[Yeah, she has no memory of being in Johto. Bummer.]

So am I supposed to just travel around and collect gym badges just like in the games and earn my ticket home? I read the Rule book and the Trainer Tips and it didn't say it was neither possible or impossible. [A beat.] Actually, I don't think it mentioned anything about badges at all. Has anyone gotten all badges and something amazing happen to them yet?

[Something seems to have caught the girl's attention when she looked down. She bends down and holds up a Cyndaquil in one of her hands while trying to hand the Pokegear in the other. The pokemon seemed confused and was even sniffing its trainer, much to Yumi's disgust.]

Also, any pointers on how to take care one of these...um, things? It spent the last five minutes just sniffing around and...not really giving much of a reaction-

[As if on cue, fire erupted from the Cyndaquil's back, frightening the girl.]

OH CRA--

[Yumi drops both the pokemon and the pokegear, ending the feed.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[After managing to not get herself or her clothes burned by her Cyndaquil's butt flame, Yumi was checking any messages she may have received. Sure it was weird asking strangers for advice but hey, does she have any choice?

One message seemed definitely weird though. Was that a bird made of metal?]

...Hello?

Hello!
[Ramza is sitting upright and stable now. And Overwing is now giving a slight hiss-like sound.]
I apologize for Overwing - I've not seen a reaction like that from them before. Welcome to the land of Pokemon?

[Yumi could only freeze up at the mention of the name "Overwing". Is it just a complete coincidence that someone's bird was named after her Lyoko vehicle or was this a complete wacko dream she's having?

She's just gonna go with option 1. Overwing doesn't sound too of an uncommon name, right?]

It sounds like its seen a ghost or something...and thanks?

Ah - perhaps you remind them of their former owner.
[A lineface, though.]
If you've questions, I've been here for around six months. For one, you're in New Bark Town, correct? I'd recommend going towards Cherrygrove, three days to the west.

Did they...?

[You could die in this world? No way.]

What's in Cherrygrove?

Vanish. People are brought here, and then vanish back to their own lands. 'Tis well documented.
[:3

A pause.]
Cherrygrove has an inn, for one. From what I recall of New Bark Town, it's not a place to stay. There's also a ferry, but I've no ideas about that.

Oh.

Oh...

[Well, that brings some sense of relief. A tiny bit.]

Well, that sounds much better than camping out in the cold. [Who knows how long her Cyndaquil's fire could last.] Do you know where the ferry leads to?

A town called Pallet, in the Kanto region. [...] Right now, you are in the region of Johto. Each region has eight badges of their own, though they seem to share a lot of the same culture.

Another region, huh?

[She hasn't played any of the games so she has no idea which region would be more beneficial to her journey. Ferries cost money however though. Perhaps she'll follow this guy's advice.]

I think I'll follow the Cherrygrove route instead. Seems to be the more logical one. [A beat.] Thanks, Mr....?
