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.

[feed goes black with a muttered 'oops']

[Steve raises an eyebrow right back at Tony]

No, she's just quite graceful for walking on her toes.

[that and a little bit to do with another song, but that's not relevant]

Seems quite the handful, aren't you little miss? [grins at her, then looks back at Tony] Here.

[he tosses his Pokedex at Tony, clearly assuming he'll catch it]

I've only been to Kanto a couple of times, so I don't really know much about it. People seem to start wherever they please, mostly.

[Steve rubs the back of his head]

Same for mine, but there's an exception for everything.

I ran into one or two from my world so far. I'm still deciding if that's a good thing or not.

[He looks at the Rilou, then gives a shrug.]

Take your word on that one.

Buuh~!

[She wiggles excitedly at him before skittering back to the elbow Tony has on the table as he does in fact catch the dex in one hand.]

She hasn't left my side since she hatched. So really, even here. I can't blink without having girls all around me.

[He smirks.]

Right, sit, and I'll teach you how to use this thing.

[He slides it open and starts poking around in it.]

[huffs a laugh and decides that's response enough on the girls comment]

She got a name?

[Steve sits, watching Tony poke around on it]

Someone said I could point it at a Pokemon and it'd give me information.

Thank you, for the help, ma'am.

Is it normal for the gadget to talk?

[chuckles to himself]

Most certainly American, but yes to both.

Hmm?

[He looks up at Steve, then glances at the small Pokémon.]

Uh, Pep. And you can, you just have to select the Pokédex, well, we'll call it an app.

[He tilts his hand so Steve can see the gear's screen as he pulls up the Pokédex]

And then point.

[He points the device at Pep, and the Gear pulls up information on her species and says:]

A Rabbit Pokémon. It rolls up its long ears, then unrolls them with great force to slap enemies. This attack stings enough to make adults jump. It uses its ears not only to attack, but also to sense danger--they stand straight up when it senses a threat. Its fluffy fur lets it sleep in warmth and comfort on cold nights. When it levels up, it evolves into Lopunny.

Too easy, even for you, don't you think? But then, it's meant to be easy enough for ten year olds to you so. Suit syou to a tea.

[He playfully teases.]

It's nice to meet you Miss Applejack.

[carefully watches everything Tony does with the Gear, raising his eyebrows, impressed by the tiny device, then looks at Tony]

Sure, easy for ten year olds, mildly difficult for anyone born outside this century. Lucky for you, I'm a fast learner. Does it do anything else useful? Might as well show me everything while we're at it.

[Riolu climbs up to sit by Steve, curious as to what they're doing, but not saying anything, Steve smiles at her, before returning his attention to Tony]

Hmm, well we've got a map, that's handy, really. And the phone, which you managed to broadcast over the network to. Sometimes you being a mancicle's useful.

[He flicks through everything slowly so Steve could see what he was doing. Pep, moves to sit on his arm so she can watch.]

There's a radio you can use, you can download songs and games, but you probably wont care about tho- Wait.

[He opens one app.]

You can draw in this one here.

[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.

[Oh, Steve. Don't feed the poor kid's ego any more, it'll die.]

You bet! I can fly, phase through solid objects, go invisible, possess people, shoot lasers, and other stuff too!

[he really just has no idea how to handle fans or deal with kids with what seems to be an over active imagination. Also, he's not keen on the possession thing]

Sounds great, kid. So... what kind of Pokemon do you have?

[watches intently, side eyeing Tony at the "mancicle" comment, but not interrupting. He was starting to lose some interest when Tony mentioned the games, but his eyes light up when Tony opens the drawing app]

You can draw on it? How d-... Wait, mind if I... try it out?

[attention totally on the Pokegear]

[Tony can't help but grin when Steve perks up at the drawing app]

Use your nail, or the stylus. On the bottom screen. You could probably post it too. I haven't really looked at it.

[He hands it back over to him, almost expecting him to wiggle with excitement.]

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.

Well, I've got a couple of- [He's cut off as Jaws the Garchomp bites down on his upper half, making him kick his legs wildly.]

I thought I'd start with a protective kiss to the forehead and a few helpful words on how to avoid the Wicked Witch of the West.

To start with the questions you asked yourself, the Oz metaphor is more apt than you might think. You've landed in a different universe from the one you left; around here, the locals call it Johto. There's another region to the east of you called Kanto, and you'll hear some mention of that before long, I expect.

From where you're standing in New Bark Town, there are two directions you can take. One is the Yellow Brick Route you've already found. The other is a three-day ferry that will take you east into Kanto. It's up to you which option you think is better, and some of your decision might depend on who you meet and hear from in the next few hours — you might luck out, and have a Scarecrow, Tin Man, or Lion already waiting for you.

The century, by local reckoning, is the twenty-first. The year is 2013, and the date is March 4. Not a bad day to land in Johto, frankly. Today's my anniversary, too.

[takes the gear back, not wiggling with excitement, but he does bite his lip. Steve starts to poke around, lowering it a little when Riolu makes a sound of protest at being unable to see]

I had wondered how the digital artwork I've seen was made. It's not too far from what I had imagined, though a bit more complicated.

[starts sketching something cartoony, it resembles Riolu]

It's nothing compared to pencil and paper, but I could get used to it.

[he pauses to look at Tony and smiles]

Thank you.

Edited 2013-03-07 06:14 (UTC)

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?

Well, after being here for three years, it's hard not to adjust.

[As for said Lucario, she nods, loosely folding her arms over her chest; seems that chest spike of hers isn't too uncomfortable.]

Ace has been trying to pick up speech for a while thanks to some silly bet. Long story short? It makes communication easier, but it's not like there aren't other ways to understand them. They're all pretty expressive, after all.

[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...

A new universe and it's 2013, well at least one of those is easy to get used to.

Mentioning Dorthy's companions, seems I found someone to substitute Tin Man quite well. And, for now, my time and resources are best spent following the yellow brick route and learning more about this region and world at large.

You've been incredibly helpful, Glenda, thanks.

Also, Happy Anniversary. Next year, we should celebrate it properly.

I do what I can, player. But before you set off for the Emerald City, you might want to try introducing yourself.

Unless you'd like to be "Dorothy" in my esteem for the rest of your stay.
