VIDEO + ACTION (VIOLET)

[VIDEO]

[The video opens up not too far from Violet's southern exit, where the city immediately moves into the Ruins of Alph. Emporio seems to be pretty pleased despite the chilly weather right now though.]

Hahaha...I wound up in Violet again, [he starts, grinning a bit awkwardly at the camera.] ...It's been almost a year since I got here, and it feels weird to be here again. I haven't seen everywhere there is in this place, but I guess I just felt like coming by again? It's sort of nice...I didn't challenge the gym the first time I came, but I did later, so I guess I have a lot of memories in Violet already...

It's...a little weird how much it's like the first time, actually...it's just me, the pokemon, near the ruins...all that's missing is rain I think! I have a tent this time too, so it's a lot better!

[Ultimately, Emporio wasn't kidding about where he's staying apparently. While he's definitely kept up some decent income thanks to a mixture of facing trainers and the occasional Rocket Grunt sent his way- please, people, he said no- he also wasn't kidding about...just camping around. Which to the people he's known for a while might seem fine and dandy- he's a capable kid, and for that matter, was cooped up in one place for far too long. He deserves to run around.

But, as nice as the tent is, stovepipe and all, it's perhaps a little unexpected to see a kid accompanied by a dragon, a giant owl, and a few others, stirring food in a pot over a fire.

...

He definitely noticed he was being watched.] ...Oh-

...Uh... ...Do you...want to join in?

[It could have all been a dream, given the way Izuku wakes up in a bed that isn't his own. It could also very well be the hospital- a fact that wouldn't have been surprising- but the stark lack of a sterile atmosphere leads him to believe otherwise even as he sits up with a start. His heart is hammering in his chest and between his ears with such ferocity that believing this is anything but reality would be difficult...

He isn't afforded much time to collect himself, because someone has noticed he's awake and immediately lept up onto his chest to greet him, his fluffy tail wagging excitedly.

Okay, maybe this is a dream after all.

Everything happens pretty quickly after that. Your usual fair of arrival: Izuku's "mom" comes in the room upon hearing his Eevee chirp at him, ushering him up-and-at'em even as he's stammering questions and trying (and failing) to get her to give him a straight answer. She is in fact not even remotely his mother but she doesn't seem to know that or care, and before he's able to get a word in edgewise he's out the door with a bag over his shoulders. Eevee had taken advantage of the chaos to climb up Izuku's back, sitting pretty on his shoulder as if he belongs there. So what does Izuku do? Well...

He starts to walk, hoping he'll be able to come into a town and maybe someplace more familiar than the route ahead of him. ...only for a Pineco to drop from a tree and attack both him and his Eevee pretty much immediately. It's a pretty sudden and surprising introduction to Pokemon battling before he's even finished reading up on it, leaving him to find a tree to sit down under for a while before anything else can happen. He has the PokeGear, so let's just try to contact someone. Anyone.]

Hello? I don't know if anyone can hear me on this, but it's worth a try...

[He pauses as Eevee pushes his head into the screen's view, hello he's here too.]

My name is Midoriya Izuku. I'm not sure what's happened, but I'm really not where I'm supposed to be right now. My only guess is this all is due to the effects of a Quirk, but I don't remember anything that could have lead to that.

[Unless Shigaraki had some tricks up his sleeve he really wasn't prepared for. Doesn't explain how his injuries have ceased to exist, either.]

I've been reading the guidebook, but it's really just giving me more questions than answers. Not only that, the pet the lady had in her house where I woke up followed me outside and I can't get it to go back home to her. She won't answer the door now so I'm not really sure what to do about that.

[The video opens to Hermes sitting on a park bench somewhere in Goldenrod by the looks of things. He has a water bottle in hand and there's probably little doubt that this man just got done with part of his morning jog by his breathing. Behind him perched on the bench is his shiny Chatot looking quite pleased with himself.]

Figured it's about time I said something here, been long enough. For those who don't know me, I'm Hermes. Hey, hello, nice to meet you and all that.

['Hello! Hello!' His Chatot mimics behind him helpfully as he gives a short wave.]

I've come with a question though. I've been thinking, what all do you guys know about legendary Pokemon? I hear they're elusive so I don't expect anyone to have seen them, but they are interesting to me as a topic. They're basically the gods of this world, right?

If you don't know anything about them, I'd be interest in hearing about gods from your own worlds too if that's more your speed.
