❥ FIRST DRAGONSTONE | ACTION [NEW BARK TOWN] / VIDEO

[ ACTION (NEW BARK TOWN) ]


[Waking up in a strange world and being kicked out of the house you woke up in before you're fully awake is kind of weird. Nowi's still struggling to take in her surroundings as she leaves Mom's house. She's not used to getting up this early. "This early" is about ten in the morning, so it's not really early at all, but that's not the point. Nowi finally finds a nice patch of grass and flops down, lying on her back and stretching her arms above her head.]

Maybe I'll just get a little more sleep before I start that adventure or whatever...

[She should probably find the Shepards first though. Chrom will probably be annoyed that she's run off again. She doesn't recognize this place, but surely things will make sense eventually.

Nowi moves to push her hair out of her face only to come to a startling realization. She sits up immediately, reaching up to her ears.]


Wh-What!? What happened? Where are my ears!?

[Her ears aren't missing, they're just small. Instead of long, pointed ears, she's currently sporting human ones.]

How-- How did this happen!? What's going on!?

[Now that she's more awake and she's getting a better look at her surroundings, Nowi's beginning to tear up. Nothing here looks familiar. The buildings look completely foreign and not in the same way most of Valm looks foreign. They were last in a volcano, how did she get here? It isn't long before Nowi's in tears, rubbing her gloves across her eyes in a futile attempt to stop the tears.]

What's going on!?

[ VIDEO ]


[About an hour and a half later Nowi posts a video to the network. Well, it's probably not Nowi doing it, since she's not holding the 'Gear, but probably some poor sap she roped into helping her. The camera is angled down on her, which isn't really hard since she's so short.]

Hi! I'm not really sure how to start this, so I'll get to the point. I've been told that this is "Johto" or something, but I don't really care about that. I'm looking for a bunch of people! An army! We're called the Shepards and our leader-guy's name is Chrom, so if anyone's seen them, let me know!

[There's a pause while Nowi tries to remember what she was going to say. She tilts her head as she taps a gloved finger to her lips. It seems the cameraman (or camerawoman) has decided to keep the 'Gear focused on Nowi's torso, so you're not getting the full horribleness of her outfit. It's still pretty bad though. Yikes.]

Oh, right! I've got a question about my ears.

[She pushes her bangs back to show off her perfectly normal human ears.]

They're not supposed to be like this! They're like... long and pointy and stuff! They're really cute and not... tiny. These are human ears! I'm not a human!

[Way to just announce that, Nowi...]

And one more thing! What's this?

[She points to the ground and the camera pans down to show a Dratini curled up at Nowi's feet. She quickly hurries before the cameraman can say anything.]

Yeah, yeah, I know, a Pokémon or whatever, but that's not what I'm asking! Is it a dragon? It looks kind of like a dragon. It's kind of nice that someone gave me a dragon, but why was it in a ball? --Yeah, a Pokéball, that's not the point!

[She balls her hands into fists and stamps her foot as the camera moves to focus on her again.]

This is really annoying! What's going on around here? I was in a volcano last time I checked, so why am I here!?

[But as quickly as the anger comes it leaves her and Nowi sighs and folds her arms.]

Well, I guess that's all the questions I've got. So if you're listening and you've got some answers, let me know, okay? Thanks!

[And with that, the video ends.]

You're sure I'll...?

[This is starting to sound suspiciously like-]

Ohhhh no. You are not inviting yourself along for the ride!

I wish I could tell you, but I really don't know! Powers n'stuff like that just don't work here, usually.

If it helps any though...as cool as being a dragon is and all, I think you'll be okay without it. The only thing here you'll really be fighting is other Pokemon, and your Dratini will help you with that.

Dead people can't be alive - there's nothing in there...

[HE WOULD KNOW]

No, not exactly! Uhh...hang on.

[Jimmy leans back and looks offscreen, gesturing with a slight jerk of his head to...something over there. There's a shuffle and a squeak of the cot he's sitting on as a blue and yellow dog from nowhere jumps up onto it, moving to settle down next to Jimmy's side.]

This is the Pokemon I got when I first came here! He's more of a dog than a dragon...actually, I'm pretty sure he's not dragon at all. He's just an Electric-type.

[Leader gives a sort of low 'awroooo' in the back of his throat as a sort of confirmation of that statement.]

Anyways, trainers- like me, and prolly you, unless you're a breeder- battle their Pokemon! It's for sport, mostly, but the Pokemon seem to like it a lot.

...Sure. Sure, you know what, that's fine.

[he is so done with today]

Nice to know we'll be protected if we come across any walking potato sacks with claws.

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-05-04 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope!

[Unless you count the everything October decided to be, but he'll just...not talk about that for now.]

They do get a little roughed up, yeah, but there are Pokemon Centers in all of the towns that you can take them to to get healed when that happens, so it's not a problem!
awesmazings: (☼ slip away)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-05-04 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you gotta tell 'em what to do! ...unless you've got a Pokemon that won't really listen, but that's what getting badges are for.

Anyways, your Dratini knows some moves already. When you battle with them they'll get stronger!
nullorvoid: (UGH ♠ her fucking name is memine)

[...]

Fine. But before we go anywhere, we're buying you a shirt.
awesmazings: (☼ and all I've got ☼)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-05-04 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[...SURE, LET'S GO WITH THAT.]

It's not really so hard, once you've done it for a while! And your Pokemon learn along with you, and kinda know what to do on instinct...if that makes sense?

It'll prolly just be easier once you start traveling.

My name's Jimmy, by the way! What's yours?
awesmazings: (☼ on the marble arch)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-05-04 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, yeah, Mom's...well, she's nice!

[She...yeah...]

If you've got any more questions, I'll do my best to answer 'em for you! I've been here for a while, so I'm more used to how things work around here.
awesmazings: (☼ hallelujah)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-05-04 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...there's two ways you can go. You can take the ferry over to Kanto, but it costs some money...or walk to Cherrygrove, which is about three days from where you are now.

I went to Cherrygrove myself. It's not really all that bad of a walk, and there are a lot of Pokemon to see on the way!
