audio || optional action

--ome in! Anyone!

[Yikes, man, tone down the yelling. The voice is frantic. Rightfully so, considering the last thing he remembered was being ejected into space. This is not the planet he thought he'd wind up on. There are humans here, and it looks like Earth.]

[But there's weird animals here. And no one seems concerned about a yelling, very upset man who just appeared out of nowhere.]


I don't know what's happened! I -- I need pickup, immediately!

[Yeah, he maybe only half listened to the explanations, but seriously, things were bad a minute ago.]

Pidge! Coran! [And then, almost grudgingly:] Lance -- someone pick up! This is Shiro and something's gone wrong! I don't know where I am -- I don't know what's happened, but I need someone to answer me now!



action cut! )

001 video/action

[All you can see is feet moving back and forth across grass, the occasional blip of an Eevee popping up on the screen. When the screen finally stops, a sigh could be heard, the view changing from the grass to the face of a rather confused looking kid.]

Okay. Remain calm, Dipper. This isn't California, or Gravity Falls, and this cat thing isn't in your imagination.

[It takes a moment for Dipper to realize that his device is recording him. Deep breath.]

If there's anyone out there who can hear me, my name is Dipper Pines! I think I'm stuck in some sort of video game dimension, and these things called Pokémon are what I'm supposed to battle with! Also, if you see or have met a girl named Mabel Pines, she's my sister. Long brown hair, headband, braces, and really friendly.

[He looks down at the Eevee beside him, mumbling to himself.]

I'm either stuck in a game or I really need to get some sleep....

[Anyone in the area will see Dipper after the broadcast sitting on the ground with his new little friend flipping through the Trainer's Handbook. Seems he's rather intent on finding out everything he can about his current situation.]

001 ♟ audio/video

[There's no video for this broadcast, just audio. Well. There's background noise, anyway, for a few seconds. Then someone awkwardly clears his throat.]

Um, is this... working? [Huh, funny. Isn't that voice familiar? The tone's a little off, but the sound of it's definitely the same as that Jack guy, right?] How... How do I know if it's...

Oh! Wait, the light's on, that probably means people are listening and... hearing me talk to myself... like an idiot. Great. Cool.

[...He quickly clears his throat. Right, yeah, let's not keep talking to himself like a moron, that's no way to make a first impression.]

I mean. Hello there, youuuuu, ah, lovely... people. Oh god, that was terrible. This is... Jack. Handsome Jack. That's... me. In the flesh. I mean, not that you can see that, but--

Just. Just got a quick question. I... These Pokémon things, they're supposed to be like... animals, right? Um. I'm just gonna turn on the video for this, one sec... [And then the video feed clicks on, showing off one very excited Ditto, smiling right at the camera.] So... Seriously, what the hell is up with this thing? This is just... I don't even know. Someone used some jello for a science class and something went wrong or whatever? It's kinda freaking me out a little...

[The Ditto doesn't seem bothered being talked about like this, still looking as happy as can be.]

I... don't really know what to do with it. Do I like... feed it? Does it eat? It doesn't look like it eats, but... don't wanna kill it by mistake.

On my way to the top! )

[Video/Action in Goldenrod - Backdated to Worry Seed Weekend!]

[Video - 7/15 Friday Night, Midnight or later]


[Ochako's usually an early to bed, early to rise kind of gal, but for some reason, she's not only awake - she's also broadcasting in the middle of the night! She should really go to bed - in fact, she looks like she wants to, yawning and blinking even as she talks to the pokegear]

Sorry to bother everyone so late but... is anyone else having trouble getting to sleep? Usually, I'm just out like a light - like, immediately! I just can't settle down tonight though so...

What kind of teams do people have? I was looking at the three I've caught- [She glances back at where her three are drifting lazily behind her] -and I kind of realized: they're all weak to rock- and ice-types! So I was thinking... does anyone know where to get some good fighting-type pokemon?

[Even tired, she manages a bright smile as she flexes an arm for the camera]

[Action, Goldenrod City - 7/16, Saturday all day, from the wee hours of the morning to late at night]


[That shambling... the low groaning... the shuffling gait... is it a zombie invasion!?

No, it's just Ochako, stumbling here and there - in and out of the pokecenter, down the streets, dazedly riding up and down the department store escalators, or maybe practicing sparring in some quieter area with wooden yet skilled movements, her pokemon swooping and practicing moves along with her. She can be found all over Goldenrod really, and even if you aren't looking for her, well - she's not looking for you either, and might stumble right into you!]


[Video/Action just South of Goldenrod - 7/17, Sunday Late Morning]


[The midmorning sun streams in, bathing her in a golden glow - her movements slow as she works through the forms, Ochako moves with a fluid grace that yet seems as solid as a mountain in her deliberateness. You can almost see the steam coming off her breath as she exhales, eyes seeming distant as she stares off. It's clear she's been at this for quite a while, judging by how the grass around her has been carefully and thoroughly flattened by her steps as she goes through the martial arts forms she learned, and by the three tired pokemon tuckered out on the ground behind her.]

This all has actually been very... fruitful. [There's a steady, determined tone to her voice that is almost nothing like her normal cheerful tone] It's amazing how much time we spend asleep each day; you don't really realize how many other things you could get done instead, right? I feel like I've really leveled up...

[It looks like her pokemon have too - in fact, Jumpy, who was a hoppip earlier this weekend, is now a skiploom! Which is exciting, but just how hard did they work? Ochako looks like she's gone beyond tiredness into some other realm of enlightenment entirely...]

mission 002 [video/action- Cherrygrove City] forward dated to Worry Seed event

[Is it just him? The feed is showing a tired, grizzled man with one eye currently looking worse for wear trying to feed his Pidgey, Ash, a berry from a nearby tree. He's in Cherrygrove City and can't remember how long he'd even been there. Snake drops the berry just before his Pidgey can peck it and he swears aloud. Sorry younger viewers.]

....

Damn this! Why can't you pick it up like a normal bird or something?

[He huffs and bends down to retrieve it before getting back up squishing the berry between his fingers. Another one squished. The tired soldier leans up against a nearby tree and shrugs to his Pidgey. Ash cocks his head to the side and flies up landing on his master's shoulder. He can tell that something's wrong. Snake hasn't been able to get any sleep. Why the hell? He doesn't have a damn clue and he's cranky. He doesn't even have the energy to talk much. Not that he talked much before but this is even worse. He's used to lack of sleep during missions but this? It's even worse when you have Pokémon to look after like a mother hen all them time.

One cranky Snake.]


DD? Heal boy.

[DD, his Poochyena, nuzzles Snake's ankle, looking up at him with a concerned look over his features. His Pokémon had definitely noticed that the old soldier hasn't been getting his zzzz's lately and it's wearing him thin.]

Anyone else not been able to sleep? Not right. This place is cursed or something.

[Yeah. Good answer. Not seeds in the air at all causing it. Nope.]

Yotsuba & Arrivals! [Action/Video, New Bark Town, July 11]

[ACTION]

[It's a new day in New Bark town, and the sun is shining on the eyes of one small girl who's trying to sleep. She waves her hand, flails more like, at the sun for a second before her eyes open, and then slowly and blearily opens her eyes, blinking the sleep away and looking around the strange room.

After a few fruitless minutes looking for her dad, Yotsuba is near tears. This is only helped by the friendly woman who says she's named mom and directs Yotsuba to start her journey, pointing her towards the old man in the center of town, who in turn welcomes her and helps her with the basics.

It's also helped by the delightfully large cicada she dubs Cicada-chan and begins to carry around. The people of the town insist it's hers and congratulate her on the start of her journey. They also call the bug a nincada.

Once Yotsuba receives her backpack, and pokegear, it's time to figure out how it works. Yotsuba can be found sitting in New Bark Town, fiddling with the pokegear. It's probably being held upside down.]


[VIDEO]

[The video starts shaky. And upside down. Soon enough though, the camera is righted and steadied, and Yotsuba starts grinning, even as the cicada-like pokemon perched on her shoulders starts to chew on one of her pigtails.]

Hello! It's Yotsuba's birthday!

[At least according to the pokegear it is. And she's 10? That's news to her. But she IS taller. Maybe she slept like in a fairy tale!]

Where is this?
