Suddenly in a Pokémon World

[unyieldingwill]

[Introduction - Video]

[ At first the video only shows a paw as it stumbles to walk over the PokéGear and accidentally steps on the video button. Then a nose as the object is thoroughly sniffed. But a muffled nearby cry is enough to draw the small Vulpix’s attention away from its investigations and over to the young man asleep on the twin sized bed. He tosses, mussing his fair colored hair and clutches at the blankets as he winces in pain. Though there is no visible source of this discomfort it seems quite real to him.
As the Vulpix tilts its head, sadly calling out in sympathy, the young man startles and suddenly sits bolt upright. He appears dazed and takes a moment looking around the small room before bringing a hand up to gently hold his head. ]

This isn’t Cephiro… A nightmare…?
No, that can’t be right.

[ The man slowly looks at his hands, flexing the fingers as if he is surprised that he can do so. ]

That battle… were the Magic Knights able to win?
I don’t remember anything after that light. What happened? Does this mean… I’m not dead after all?

[Video] Trixy thing. :)

[shiromadoushi]

Yeah. I'm starting to think everyone wakes up here the same way at first.

and I will! Safer and more fun. The once I had to camp out it was a group of us and even with the lack of supplies, [[and the player killer and Kaiba's helicopter and the Sennen Ring interruptions...]] it was pretty fun because we were all together.

[Poor Pokémon… Having to deal with such masters.]

Then maybe you should leave? I don’t see any reason to wait for orders if you didn’t sign up to receive any.

Of course that may require a fight for you to leave unless you can sneak out.

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[It was a little harsh, but Eagle isn’t the kind to take offense. She is just a little upset and that is entirely understandable.]

That is the second time I have been asked about a message. Are you supposed to be waiting for orders too?

I didn’t see any kind of message or letter when I searched this room.

[Video] They is, they is. ~-^

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

Not everyone I notice. Some people have mentioned getting as letter that tells them to wait for orders. Did you receive one of those?

[More fun? Chuckle!]

Yes, I guess it would be more fun also. Having some one to talk to along the way might be nice.

[Vulpix protest! ]

Ah, yes, I could talk to you! But, I meant it would be nice to have some one who could talk back to me.

[Poor Bakura. What… bad camping luck… ]

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[a warm smile at the vulpix]] Someone you speak the same language as is always nice, un. [[nods]]

And I don't think I got a letter like that...

[[and he's pulling out his bag to check again. Cue Amane wondering WTF he's doing and getting in the way]]

aaa, Amane-chan--!

[[some wrangling later and she's back to sitting on his head while he resumes his search]] I don't see one. And I didn't notice one in the room when I woke up either.

[Video]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[The Vulpix thinks on that before deciding that is probably true and yipping to make sure there was no harm done. ]

I wonder why some people were singled out to receive letters and others were not. [Curious about that but also about the creature now sitting on Bakura’s head. ]

What kind of Pokémon is that?

[Video] I have to look up how to spell this Every. Freaking. Time. *sobs*

[shiromadoushi]

Maybe it has something to do with what sort of world they came from? Or maybe they're working for the GM! [[a bit of a grin. It's mostly a joke.]] the GM always passes notes to people he has in on his schemes, after all.

And Amane-chan is a misdreavus. A ghost type! [[smiles up at the little pain who makes a ghostly moaning sound in return. Which doesn't seem to bother Bakura at all as he repacks his bag togethr.]]

[Video] That’s why I chose Vulpix. ^,^ Easy to spell and it’s cute.

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

The GM…? [Smiles. ] I wonder if there is some one like that. They should know a lot about this world.

[And maybe how to leave it. ]


That is a ghost? [Thinking - But, it’s so cute. It doesn’t look scary at all. ]
Do you know what… [Gestures at the Vulpix. ] … she is?

[Video] But Bakura needed a ghosty :D Either that or a Pikachu for the voice actor jokes :D

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa-- no, I'd have to look it up. [[and he's not sure if he can use this as a phone and an index at the same time.]] I'm still just learning about them all!

And a GM would, since they're the ones who run the games, after all!

[Video] Do Pikachu and Bakura have the same VA? I did not know that.

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

You are still ahead of me. I wouldn’t have known that was a ghost Pokémon.

I will have to play with this piece of technology later on. To see how it works. And… of course, look up this little creature.

[Video] He and Ash/whatever his Jp name was do. There's TONS of Y/Bakura + Pikachu fanart out there

[shiromadoushi]

It was pretty easy to guess, really! [[huge smile. I mean, c'mon, it's obviously a ghost!]]

[He gives a nod in agreement. He wasn't about to be a pawn in someone else's Master Plan. One was quite enough, thank you. Besides, if these "orders" are important enough, they'll find a way to get to him. Right?] Ah, once again, you appear to be right! Where is my mind today? [He smacks himself on the forehead once more.]

[Fai waves a hand, laughing.] Oh, I'm sure I can find a way out! []Fai glances down at his Growlithe, who's looking up eagerly at Fai, tail wagging. He might be able to sneak out without a problem...but could his Pokemon?]

[Video]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[Eagle smiles reassuringly. ]

Yes, I’m sure you will be able to find a way out.

[But, just in case. ]

Do you know where you are?

[That way if Fai wasn’t heard from after his escape attempt a rescue could be mounted. ]

[Video] LOL! I see. ^_^

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

But, it’s nothing like I expected a ghost to look like.
[Beams. ]

It’s a lot cuter than that.

[Video]

[cheerfulfacade.livejournal.com]

Ah, I'm at a place called ...Mahogany Town, I believe. [He goes to get his bag, digging out his map, before looking back up, smiling.] Where are you? The room you're in looks different than mine!

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[laugh a bit a that]] Un, there is that!

But ghosts a can look all sorts of ways, a ghost that looks like a girl isn't that far fetched!

[Video]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[The answer to that question requires a bit of an investigation and the only way to do that is to exit the room and run into ‘Mother’. She of course explains everything… It does take a little while for Eagle to get back with an answer. Apparently ‘Mother’ likes to talk a lot. ]

That was strange… clearly she is not my mother…
[Softly stated because Eagle isn’t speaking directly into the PokéGear. The voice suddenly becomes a lot stronger as the device is addressed directly.]


It is some where called New Bark Town.

[Eyes the door suspiciously as if ‘Mother’ might return at any time. ]

This is supposed to be my house…

[Video]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

I have heard of human ghosts before, but it never occurred to me that animals might also become ghosts… or that they could become pets.

[Which really was the odder concept!]

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

There are a lot of different ways ghosts can come into existence, not always from a death, and there are lots of stories of people having kami as their personal spirits! [[smiles up at Amane again]]

[Video]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

I always thought ghosts were just something made up for stories.
I have never seen one… [Corrects that. ] …had never seen one until today.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

They're real. [[there's a bit of a distant softness to his smile with that]] I've never seen one directly... but sometimes...

[[and he trails off a bit wistfully before letting that line of thought stop.]]

So you're still in the starter house?

[Video]

[cheerfulfacade.livejournal.com]

[Fai waits patiently for Eagle to return. During his absence, he turns his attention to his Growlith, wondering what he was going to name him. Since apparently people do that here. Fai'd never had a pet before, so having to think up of a name for something was first.]

[Fai looks up as Eagle returns. He heard him mutter something, but he wasn't quite able to make out what before he spoke loud enough for him to hear.] New Bark Town... [He looks it up on the map.] Ah, it seems like the two are quite a ways from each other...

Eh? It is? Strange... [He then gives a laugh.] Does that mean I get a house as well?

[Video]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[Strange term. ]

If you mean the house I woke up in, then yes. I have been looking through this book.
[The manual he earlier retrieved from his bag. ]

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

I can come meet you if you'd like. There's not too much in town, but I can give you the brief tour.

[Video]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[Already looking at his version of that map… That kind of distance would make it unlikely that he would be able to help if something went wrong. ]

Very strange… [A ‘you have no idea HOW strange’ kind of laugh. ]
Maybe when people arrive they either get a house or a letter. I don’t know why that is… But, it’s almost like we are being broken up into two groups.
