[Cloud's frowning softly when he appears on the network, attempting to figure out this strange device he found on his person upon waking up. It's similar enough to the phones he's used for him to at least get it turned on but it's still strange enough that it has him unsettled.

As does the strange sword...thing.]

...Tifa? Barrett? If either of you are seeing this, I would appreciate an explanation.

[Because this had to be some sort of strange joke.

The camera gets jarred around as Cloud suddenly side steps and when it does focus again anyone watching can now see a Honedge as well, one that the blonde is eyeing rather warily.]

For where I am and what that is.

[Because he really wasn't keen on believing anything that man had said. His first thought had been 'fiend!' but he'd seen a lot of fiends before. Fought a lot of fiends. This? This was just...yeah. No. Whatever it was he didn't want it.]

I also want to know where my motorcycle is. I'd like to get back to Edge sometime today.


[Action]

[Shutting off his new little device--Pokégear?--Cloud tucked it away into one of his many pockets, the backpack he'd been given slung absently over his shoulder. Beside him, the Honedge he'd received from the professor was peering at him in a wary yet curious manner, sizing the blonde up almost.

At least that's what it seemed like to Cloud.

The blonde frowned before making himself look away, glancing around the town itself before he focused on the road leading out. He couldn't be on a different continent, that would be just a little too over the top for whatever sort of prank this was.

Had to be.

With that in mind the blonde started walking and made it a few feet before he paused and glanced over his shoulder. The Honedge was trailing behind him and immediately stopped when he did, an odd sound coming from the creature that had Cloud's frown deepening.]

Find someone else to bother.

[Because he really didn't want anything to do with this. He had way too much stuff to be working on back in Edge.]

If you can show me a bike that can go through woods so thick you can barely see two feet ahead of you in the middle of the day, I'll eat my fancy hat.

But yeah.

Riding Pokemon is the most efficient way to get around. 'Specially once you get ones that can fly.

[notachocobo]

If I had my bike here I'd show you.

[He probably would have trouble but he'd try dammit.]

There are ones that can fly? So..bird-like ones?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yep, tons of birds.

They're not the only ones, though. Dragons, fairies, big flying bugs...

Kid I know crashed a rocket-propelled clay robot into the pool not too long ago.

Now that was pretty exciting.

[notachocobo]

...That sounds...interesting.

[And for some reason it made him think of Cait Sith.]

Do these creatures attack humans?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah, he's never livin' that one down.

Anyway, the wild ones do.

But if your own are strong enough, you should be safe. It doesn't take much to chase 'em off.

[He can't help but snort softly in amusement.]

I can't imagine he would.

I'll keep that in mind. I'm getting the gist that training my sword as soon as possible is my best option.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

It probably is.

I wouldn't worry too much right off the bat, though. You're in New Bark, right? None of the wildlife there is particularly dangerous. So it's a pretty safe place to get a good footing, training wise.

By the time you make it to Cherrygrove, your starter'll already be starting to beef up a bit.

[Cloud just nods when she mentions New Bark, staying silent until she's done talking.]

Sounds easy enough.

[A pause before he's holding something up--his breeding guide.]

Am I seriously suppose to breed these things?

[foolishwren]

_{[... A snort.]}

Well, I mean, nobody'll hold a gun to your head and make you do it...
