Bout 001 (Video/Action): Welcome to confusion.

[usedgalacticpunt]

[The transmission starts out as audio at first, a teenage girl's voice sounding annoyed.] -- back here! I told you already! We'll get out there and start exploring after I manage -- [A couple seconds of static, and then voice switches to video, pointing up at a cloudless sky.] -- this thing works!

Oh, wait, I think it's on! [The video swings around to point at a short-haired girl whose brow is furrowed.] Uh, hello? This thing is recording, right? Look, can anybody tell me what the heck is going on here? I wake up in a house I've never seen before, get shoved out the door by a woman I've never met before... And now apparently I'm supposed to take care of this weird little... purple guy! And he won't stop --

[A crash from off-screen, and the girl jumps.] Hey! What did I just say?! Ah, geez, I'll be right back! [Click.]

Yeah, I know it sounds crazy. It took me a few minutes too, until I got jumped by a purple rat.

[video]

[herolegs]

...A purple rat. Well, I guess we've seen weirder monsters, haven't we?

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

... It doesn't get much weirder than giant rainbow eyeballs, you're right.

[video]

[herolegs]

[Chie snickers at that.] Definitely. [Finally setting the Tyrogue down now...] So... Rise-chan, what is going on? How did we get here? And what are we supposed to do?

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

I still don't know how we got here, but I guess the point of it's to go on some great Pokémon journey, or however the game goes. A lot of people think that if they reach the end, that means they'll get to go home.

[video]

[herolegs]

They think? Has anybody actually managed it yet?

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Nope! Or if they have, they didn't say anything.

[video]

[herolegs]

Great... But I guess it's better than just sitting around, right?

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Definitely. Um-- I think we all got scattered again, but there should still be some of the team in Violet.

[video]

[herolegs]

Geez, how many of us are here? Okay, so if I go down this Route 29, that'll take me... Wish I had a map or something.

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

There's one on your 'gear-- just hit the little map icon in the corner.

[video]

[herolegs]

Oh, hey, I didn't even notice that. [Bleep!] How cool! So west of here is... Cherrygrove. What's the scale on this thing?

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

I can't tell you much on scale, but walking-wise, you've got about three days to get to it.

[video]

[herolegs]

Yikes, three days? Guess I better be ready to camp out, huh?

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

You're just like a weed, Chie-senpai! You can take it!

[ t-this is meant to be a compliment, really. ]

And as an extra bonus, I'll have a Pokémon waiting for you in Cherrygrove, just for you. [ because whether this one remembers or not, at least Yosuke the Dunsparce will be happy. ]

[video]

[herolegs]

Uhh, thanks, I think. [She looks a little skeptical, but accepts it.]

Whoa, really? Awesome! Thanks, Rise-chan! What kind is it? [LITTLE DOES SHE KNOW.]

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

He's a Dunsparce-- it's kinda hard to describe what he is, exactly, but he's a sweetheart.

[ ENJOY. ]

[video]

[herolegs]

Dunsparce, huh? Kind of a weird name, but I guess they all have weird names like that. I'll look forward to seeing it! Should probably get on the move soon, huh?

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Definitely! We'll see you soon, Senpai!
