tarotcards | Dream 001 [VIDEO/ACTION IN NEW BARK TOWN]

[The video feed starts off with a really shaky start. The only sound you hear at first is that horrible muffling sound as fingers keep trailing over the mic. It’s clear that the owner has almost no idea what he’s doing. It finally focuses onto a young man with silver hair. He seems pretty calm for someone who just woke up in Johto, but still pretty confused.]

I think I got it on...This looks like one of Yosuke’s handheld game consoles, though I don’t remember a camera on it...

[He ponders to himself for a bit before shrugging, looking towards the camera.]

If this video is going out, does anyone know where I am? It doesn’t look like Inaba or the city...

I’m pretty used to this stuff and I wouldn’t surprised if this was a dream. Not like I didn’t have weird dreams just like this before, but the “mom” thing is new, and that I'm wearing my Inaba school uniform. I probably just fell asleep on the train.

[He shrugs once again, but keeps his small smile on. Weird dreams; he had them before. This wasn’t any worse than when Igor called him in his sleep. This dream was pretty mild compared to the flaming luchadors and the Velvet room, so whatever. Still kinda weird he has his uniform on. He came from the train where he was wearing normal clothes, right? Then what's up with the uni?]

But if anyone can tell me what’s going on, I’ll really appreciate it. Even if it's a dream, I would like to see if I can find any familiar faces...

Thank you in advance.

[And with that the feed ends. He's pretty relaxed about all this. I mean, c'mon, crazy dreams are just crazy dreams. Move along folks. Nothing to see here.]

So the Pokemon go by levels here? Huh, this really is like a video game.

It's pretty much exactly like a video game. Leveling up and random encounters included.

I haven't played a video game in years, but I remember some things from it. Is there still those annoying NPCs wandering around?

Plenty of those around. If you ever meet a kid named Joey, do not give him your Pokegear number.

...Why?

He calls like every five seconds!

About what? A kid can't be that bad.

Yeah, I thought that too. But apparently that kid's pretty enthusiastic about his rattata.

Isn't there any way to block him?

Not that I know of right now. I guess I could ask around.

There's probably a way. You'll figure it out sooner or later.

...I guess I should introduce myself now before I forget. I'm Seta Souji.

Yeah, hopefully.

Kagami Hiiragi. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too, Kagami-san.

[And he makes a small bow with his head. He would have offered a handshake, but yeah...not possible with the gear.]

Where are you now in this place?

[over the gear brofist?]

Route 30. It's just past Cherrygrove, the town next to the one you're in.

[Yes, over the gear brofist. Here's my imaginary brofist just for you.]

That's not too far, but you'll probably be ahead by the time I arrive.

...Is that where this "Joey" kid is?

[I feel like such a special snowflake]

I'll probably stick around Violet City for awhile since there's a gym leader there.

...Yes.

[Oh boy, let me get the heater to melt you away.]

The first boss of the game, right?

...I'll make sure to stray away from him then.

[but then how will I sparkle with my individuality]

That's it.

He's pretty persistent. He'll probably catch up to you if he sees you so if you do end up battling him, just walk away afterwards.

[You can be an unique puddle of water. You can have all your sparkles there.]

Seems a little mean for a kid, but I guess if you say so. He can't be on Route 30 all the time.

[but all puddles of water are the same, not snowflakes though. none of them are the same]

...You'd be surprised. Even though I was staying in Cherrygrove for a while, every time I went out, he was standing there.

[I'll add some food colouring in your puddle, just for you. Purple sounds good?]

...NPC?

[...that would be acceptable. but it had better have glitter!]

Yeah, probably. It'd make sense.

[ you're not special enough for glitter and guess who is tagging this a year later? I TOLD YOU I WOULD DO IT!! ]

Are all of the people here NPCs?

[ i was special enough for glitter a year ago!!! and I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'VE DONE THIS. GET OUT!!! ]

Nah, most people are like you and me. They've been dropped here too.

[ that was before i knew you!! and HAHAHAHA NOW I'M TAGGING WHILE YOU'RE NOT EVEN IN THE GAME ANYMORE. OH ICHI, YOU ARE A GENIUS ]

Wonder why. For Pokemon fanatics, this would be great, but I haven't even played the games.
