first battle ✾ ( video / action )

[virbank]

( video )

[the video starts up and-- huh, that's quite a view from high above! it looks like whoever is recording is high up in one of the trees. (wonder who's incredibly stupid idea that was, right?) it shifts a little with the hint of a paw so whoever is holding it isn't human. it focuses then a little higher and.. yeah, looks like some young teen is hanging onto a branch while looking out.]

This would be easier if I had Kyurem with me.. I wonder what's out there to visit? I bet this place has got some really awesome sights! Pokemon, too. I don't even know where to begin. Maybe a map..

[now the strange thing is probably what he's wearing. what does he think he is? some kind of hero??? do feel free to laugh at him at this point. but he's too busy trying to look out like some hawk. strange kid.] Hey Rio, is that recording yet?

[an answering grunt, to which Kyouhei looks like a deer caught in headlights (if you're focusing closely despite the mask.) but an easy grin shows all the same.] Oh cool! Well, in that case can anybody can tell me more about this place? Anything I should know, really. Don't think I caught the region name.. Not Unova, that's for sure.

[someone's clearly taken to first exploring before asking questions.]

To think journals are the way around here, huh? Do they not have the technology for Xtransceivers yet? ..Oh well, Justice shall prevail in the end! [a two fingered salute that almost costs him his balance.]

( action )

[at the edge of the forest you're likely to see the odd boy still up at tree-tops, though fortunately moving down lower before doing his attempts to jump from one to another.

and later if you happen to be walking around town, two things are going to happen. one: something purple and very fast just flew right into your face. it's only brief seeing that it's pouncing up and over just as quickly not a second to spare.

two: and as you're recovering you're likely to being face-to-face with your clone. an exact clone of you. perfect lookalike right down to the very details! .. except the fact it may be smirking quite coyly at you.]

[mischiefbreeder]

It's 'Luceti', and this ain't a region, at least, not one you're used to, I bet. [What a weirdo.]

[Video]

[virbank]

Well Unova had a forest place too, the White Forest. But I can see what you mean. Luceti though, huh? [don't judge, breeder]

Anyways how neat, it does work! [he can see a face too! just like the video function. even his Lucario is peeking into the feed, curiously.]

[Video]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Judging so hard.]

So you're a Pokémon trainer, huh?

[bluemikan]

Pokemon?

[ She's only been here for about a day, okay. ] That aside, this is Luceti. You'll want to read...hold on.

[ Nojiko goes into written for a second to give him this, before swapping back out. ]

That should answer most of your questions.

video;

[virbank]

Yeah, Pokemon. Like..

[he reaches out to take hold of the journal, focusing on his companion that's also up in the trees with him.] You know, Rio here! He's a Lucario.

..Huh? Is this some guide then? [he takes a moment to look it over before] Wow, that's a whole lot of information! This is definitely helpful, thanks! I'm Kyouhei, by the way.

video; 1/2

[bluemikan]

[ what the hell is that. ]

video; 2/2

[bluemikan]

[ well, she's seen weirder things. MOVING ON. ]

It is, isn't it? It took me the better part of a morning to read. I'm Nojiko - and I'd say we're from different places, since my world doesn't have "Pokemon".

[ that she's aware of, anyway. 8|a ]

[Action]

[ribbonbon]

[Pilouette is just going about her day in the village when a purple blur smacks into her, causing her to let out a little scream and fall backwards in surprise. After a few moments when she finally has her head together, she looks up and sees...herself? What. What is this? Is this another of the Malnosso's experiments?

She stands up and takes a cautious step towards it. Her. Whatever it is.]

What the heck...?

[Action]

[virbank]

[the 'copy' does the same, making a cautious step towards her with a perfect imitation of her expression.

except, she doesn't speak. only a tilt of the head before some odd snickering sounds after.]

[Action]

[ribbonbon]

[She's almost certain this is some kind of weird experiment. After all, the Malnosso have certainly done stranger things than this, so it wouldn't surprise her. She looks down at herself for a moment to make sure she's still herself.

Yup. Still herself.

She really doesn't like that snickering, though. Even if she assumes this is herself she's talking to, she doesn't much like being laughed at.]

H-Hey! What's...What's so funny?!

video;

[repudiate]

... 'Justice shall prevail'? [ she's just repeating it in her deadpan tone.. ] What are you, some kind of superhero? You do already have the outfit, either way.

video;

[virbank]

Yep! I'm Lucario Kid!

[he pats his chest with a fist, before he gives a good natured chuckle after.] That's only in movies though, I'm not really a superhero. Just a Trainer.

[repudiate]

[ this guy seems fairly ridiculous already, huh. ]

Then why did you decide to dress up like that? Did you just want attention?

[tsuntrader]

[Pokémon, Unova, ridiculous outfit, up in a high place...

...] Kyurem? [The important things.]

[virbank]

Kyurem is one of my companions, it's.. a Legendary Dragon and Ice type. It's been spoken about in legends of Unova just a bit.. but not a lot have heard of it. [until someone tried to use it to try and take over Unova that is.] It can fly so it would have made it easier to explore high up, you know?

[he looks a bit troubled then.] But I've only been able to find three Pokemon from my team. Not all six.

[tsuntrader]

[...A Dragon/Ice type... Legendary Pokémon...

Why does this guy have a legendary Pokémon to begin with? That's...

Dragon/Ice?]

Only three of your team will show up. The rest stay at home.

action!!

[moehealer]

[Forest, you say?! Well, that happens to be where Yellow spends most of her time here. So, as always, she's just riding around within it, mounted on her trusty Dodrio as goes. ...Unfortunately she's not really paying attention to what's going on up in the trees though! Which is why she doesn't notice Kyouhei up there, whoops.

But maybe he'll be able to hear Dody's rapid footsteps?!]

[virbank]

[he has, but he's not exactly quick to coming down! so he gives a loud--] Hey, you!!

[but his Lucario is quicker, who jumps down and is able to stop a couple of feet in front of the pair to (hopefully!) halt her current ride.]

[moehealer]

[Yellow and Dody both jerk their head(s) upward when they hear the boy call out for them, which... makes spotting Lucario jumping in front of them a little uh... difficult. Yellow's just barely responding to Kyouhei when she finally notices the thump landing in front of Dody, and thankfully she's able to make him come to a halt just in time.

Like. Really. Just in time.

They're probably just a couple of inches from Lucario. Whoops.]

video; i'm sorry i am so sorry

[colress]

[you know, he probably would have tuned this all out if it weren't for one specific word in there. three guesses as to what that word is.

anyways, here's some guy you may recognize, even without his glasses, smiling his Usual smile at the camera.]

It'd probably be best if you were on even ground before making any sort of entry-- you could break a bone or two if anything unfortunate were to happen!

[blah blah, safety warning, w/e-- onto the good part.] Now then... you happened to mention Kyurem, right?

video; goodness gracious

[virbank]

Yeah, I kno--

[except he cuts himself off and seriously loses his balance in his alarm/ thankfully he catches onto the branch with a hand, stunt training coming in hand so he can swing onto another. which manages to brings him closer to his Lucario so he can take the journal away and stare at it with visible disbelief] Seriously-?

You're here too? [NEVERMIND KYUREM, WHY ARE YOU HERE. he recovers, but not before he raises a brow at the video.] We seriously need to stop meeting like this.

video;

[cilantro]

Kyurem? [Unlike Silver before us though, this is not a "what is Kyurem" response but more of a "why would Kyurem even be here" pondering...still, this is very interesting. Also judging by the outfit he might be an actor like Mei...or is genuinely a superhero who knows.]

Well, I'm afraid this isn't Unova, or any of the other more well-known regions, as it goes by the name of "Luceti" here. Has anyone informed you about the tastes that come with this place yet?

video;

[virbank]

Kyurem! [comes his reply, inching down the tree as can be shown while his Pokemon follows close by.] It's my friend now, it joined me on my travels.

[except he pauses briefly, because he sounds like he knew who he was speaking to.] Tastes..?

[you ready for someone else who recognizes you..] Cilan! Don't tell me everyone ever is here too, it's like a huge gathering or something. [thoughtful hum] Anyways, I haven't seen you since I teamed up with Chili and double battled you and Cress! Are your brothers here too?

[we kicked your guys' butt too by the way.]

[Action]

[infinitegrin]

[Emmet often wandered around during the day, exploring the forest idly and letting his Pokémon play. Galvantula was having a grand old time weaving a web on some trees, and her trainer simply watched over her as she did so. At least, until there was a sudden flash of movement, which Emmet turned to see...

...before coming face-to-face with himself. And with a sly grin like that, he was sure it wasn't Ingo!

Emmet's surprised by the clone, blinking some. Was it a rascally Pokémon? But there weren't a whole lot of Pokémon in Luceti as it was, so...

He awkwardly laughed, unsure if he was at a dangerous station or not.]

[Action]

[virbank]

[Your clone is about to shake his butt and pat it, pulling an eyelid out and making a face to match. Just a serious display of ridiculousness.

What a rude Emmet clone--]

Zorua! Again? Really?!

[ OOPS. POOF! yeah it's just a Zorua who snickers haughtily, before being snatched up into this teen's arms.] He does that a lot, sorry!

[..OH WAIT, HE KNOWS YOU.] Hey, you're the Subway Boss Emmet!
