001 [Video]

[the view, which seems to be of patch of grass, is jostling around, tapping as well as a muffled curse] ...probably Stark technology. [the camera jostles everywhere as the man turns it around in his hands] Wait, Stark's name isn't on it, can't be his. What Stark would miss the chance to plaster his name everywhere.

[the camera moves around some more, mostly catching glimpses of the ground and a building, the man huffs] Do you know how this works?

[a pokemon makes a negative sounding "ri" before the camera moves again, catching a glimpse of sky but then is obscured by a thumb] Yeah, me neither.

Seems to be on. [moves his thumb, a man with short, tidy, blond hair and curious blue eyes comes into view, his blue top fits perfectly to his muscles, but is otherwise unmarked] Is that the len- This is one of those video phone gadgets.

Okay, so best guess is someone can or will see this, so does anyone know what or where this place is? What century is it? Because it seems more like I slept into a few centuries this time, I mean I have my little blue companion with me, so it's not all bad, but I just want to know where I woke up this time. Because this isn't Kansas.

You know. It warms my heart to know that the second you pick up something shiny with buttons you think I designed it.

But at least you're right in one thing. We're so far removed from Kansas right now.

[starspangledavenger]

[another person, that's always good]

I'll admit, it was bizarre to find useful technology without your name on it.

Seems you are too, or else you learned to cross space communicate.

[wouldn't be that surprised if he did]

[arrogantalloy]

Now you're just trying to turn me on.

Not that communicating through space is really all that hard, it's more just a matter of finding a faster way to do it, but even I have trouble breaking speed of light, especially right now. And really if we're going to get technical. I think this is more cross dimentional.

[buckyouup]

That's a real good question, actually. Time seems t'move kinda funny 'round here.

[video]

[starspangledavenger]

Well, seems I didn't sleep away centuries this time. Which is good.

[video]

[buckyouup]

S'that somethin' that happens often for you?

[colorsofthewind]

This place is called Johto, and the neighboring region is Kanto. Where that is in relation to anything else, I couldn't tell you, but I doubt this is the world you're familiar with.

Re: [ video ]

[starspangledavenger]

Thank you, ma'am. I'm starting to realize I'm not anywhere close to home.

[colorsofthewind]

None of us are, really.

[Wait. Wait. Muscles, Rip Van Winkle syndrome, knows Tony Stark...]

....Are you....Captain America?

Re: Video

[starspangledavenger]

[just a little bit caught off guard, don't mind me]

I, uh... Yes. I am.

You are?

Re: Video

[nasa_dreams]

[Oh my god. OH MY GOD.]

I- I'm Danny Fenton, sir! Also known as Danny Phantom! Saved the world from a giant asteroid!

[Laguna replies with a video of his own, riding on the back of a Steelix, a green Munna gripping to him for dear life.]
Centuries? You've really been alive that long?
[Don't mind him.]
But, uh, this place is called Johto - in some faraway place.

Video

[starspangledavenger]

I only slept through one so far.

Faraway place seems an understatement.

[ragnarok_strike]

[Laguna gave a bit of a nervous laugh.]
Well, where I come from, not many things even live that long!
[And then a pause.]
I know! I mean, back when I had my map, this place didn't look like it was on my world at all! Of course, I've been to another world before - but this is a lot different. Uh, d'ya have anybody else from your world around there?

[timelymaid]

I'm not familiar with Kansas, but this is Johto! Which I'm sure others have said, so let me know if I can answer any remaining questions you might have.

Oh, I can give one piece of advice - if you point your gear at your pokemon, it should give you information on it. Including gender, type, attacks...that sort of thing!

[starspangledavenger]

Thank you, for the help, ma'am.

Is it normal for the gadget to talk?

[cakelover]

It is, it is~! Ah, are you American then, or are you referring to the Wizard of Oz~?

[starspangledavenger]

[chuckles to himself]

Most certainly American, but yes to both.

[doitrockapella]

[Oh, look, someone's namedropping The Wizard of Oz — which just so happens to be her favorite story from childhood. That's worth a hop in to say hello.]

Unfortunately, clicking your heels together three times won't do you much good at the moment. And I suspect your welcoming committee will be a bit more multivariate than munchkins.

[text]

[starspangledavenger]

[oh goodie, a new function of this gadget to learn, at least using text to communicate is easy enough]

You were right, the welcoming committee was quite varied in comparison to munchkins. So, if clicking my heels won't work, what's your advice, Glenda? I'm thinking of heading on down the yellow brick route 29.

[islandshore]

Different world, couldn't tell you the century, that blue companion's a Pokémon, and right now you're stuck in Johto, just one of the regions here. The next one over's called Kanto.

[There's a huff and a grumbled 'Riku...' before a Lucario steps into the frame.]

And that Riolu of yours will evolve into one of these if you treat it right.

Re: video

[starspangledavenger]

Straight to the point, I respect that. Thanks for the information. Seems you're used to this sort of event.

[Riolu pokes its head into frame, but then ducks back a little timid]

And that's quite the transformation. But, did your.... Uh Lucario just person speak?

[Video]

[heartandsong]

[This time...?]

Um...! You're in a different world entirely! Not just century! But I'm not sure what year it is here, now that I think about it...

Re: [Video]

[starspangledavenger]

Someone mentioned it's the Twenty-first century, the year 2013, but no one else has said one way or another. Thanks for the information, Ma'am.
