Josuke Higashikata Meets Pokémon (part 1)

[fehcatsap]

[Action]

Whoa whoa whoa hey, don't touch the hair - and you better explain what I'm doing here, now!

[Josuke is practically being forced out the door of "Mom"'s house not only by the mystery woman, but also by the Pansage riding his shoulders eagerly waving and pointing at everything in sight. He's sure never met her before, and it's really freaking him out. He thought his real mom could get crazy.

The door gets slammed on him before he realizes he's outside.]

Oh, now this is just great.

[He's gonna be strolling around looking for answers. You look out of place, maybe you know something?]

[Video...?]

[That... is the side of a face. Someone seems to have not noticed the lens... or maybe not.]

Apparently this thing I got is a phone, not just a camera? Fancy stuff. Guess the first question is, who am I even calling? Wouldn't think it'd make one with no number.

[He'd been poking around, and found some things that looked phone-like, so he gave it a try. It is acting odd, but maybe it's like a Stand or something. There could totally be a phone stand.]

Wouldn't be right to just say that, though. Name's Josuke Higashikata. A little confused by all this, but I guess I've got time to work it out since it doesn't look like I'm going anywhere anytime soon.

Got a song stuck in my head something fierce, though.

[He finally moves the Gear away from the side of his head, giving everyone a really clear look at his pompadour and face, finally. He's managed to get Yes to calm down, at least, but he also forgot to hang up.]

Wait, maybe...

[He's taking off his jacket on camera. It's midsummer so sure, that makes some sense, but the way he's looking over it might seem more like there might be a problem with it than just looking at it strangely.]

Oh, that's true... I wonder if someone's done something about that elephant monster that's supposed to be out on the route? It really is pretty inconvenient if we're all just stuck here...

[Unfortunately, it's not until the next day that'll be cleared out]

[fehcatsap]

Elephant monster, huh? That mighta been a bit out of my league either way.

[He's had enough problems with smaller wildlife...]

It really is. Can't leave, but it doesn't seem like there's much to do here, either...

[usedgravity]

I mean, I heard it's smaller than an elephant though. Like, only bear sized.

[That's... till pretty big, considering the size of their own pokemon.]

I guess we can just train and get stronger until someone takes care of it, or we can ourselves?

[fehcatsap]

Well, we can't just do nothing...

[This is difficult to think about without more information.]

We should try to get a look at it, don't you think? Right now all we've heard is that it's there.

[usedgravity]

I guess if we're careful we can scout it out. We'd have to make sure we don't accidentally run right into it though!

The pokegear should let us contact other people who know more about this kind of stuff too.

[fehcatsap]

Hopefully someone with more information about that will answer that, then...

[Results have been... mixed.]

Meanwhile, now might be a good time to start heading over there.

[usedgravity]

Sure! I'm not even sure how big the "route" is anyway - I wonder if it's far between towns?

[fehcatsap]

I think I saw a map in my bag earlier, where was it...

[Ah, right, that booklet...]

...Why isn't there a scale on this map.

[this is the least helpful thing]

[usedgravity]

Hmmm... [Peering over at the map... yeah, it's uh. A little abstract.] I guess we'll just have to see?
