001. Action for Goldenrod City/Video
[ACTION FOR GOLDENROD CITY]
[Well, if you're on the streets this evening in the general vicinity of the Radio Tower, you will likely come across a figure in what looks like a cross between a white gakuran and a military uniform (no, seriously, those boots cannot be school issue, can they?); he's got his arms folded tightly across his chest, almost as though he's cold despite being nothing of the sort, and he's staring rather intently upward.
Not at anything in particular. Just looking up at the sky.
However, if you're close enough (and you're probably close enough because he is pretty much the opposite of subtle), it'll be fairly obvious that he's probably not seeing much of anything despite the intensity of his gaze, given that he's got an impressive amount of tears going on. Like, "that should probably not be coming out of human eyes" levels of impressive. Holy shit. Tears. All over. Like he's seen the face of God or something.
Someone might want to poke him or make sure his brain hasn't just shorted out or something, he'll be here all night otherwise.]
[VIDEO]
[Hello, Johto! Sometime this evening you are being treated to some serious jittercam, courtesy of one of your newer arrivals (after he's come out of whatever trance he was in earlier because good lord almighty there is sky out here). It's not quite enough to make you seasick, but more than enough to make you wonder exactly how it is your life has come to this and who gave the complete amateur a camera before everything seems to even out. The video eventually seems to settle on a rather...uh, severe-looking kid with short, dark hair, red eyes and eyebrows that go forever, and whatever he's doing, he seems deeply annoyed with it, goodness. Who invited the spawn of Satan to the Poképarty...
And then he seems to figure out that he is, in fact, filming, and his response is so immediately joyful it'll give you whiplash if you are not properly strapped in. His grin is open and incredibly genuine, the expression entirely unguarded; he sets the device down on a table in front of him, as he appears to be outside still, and he immediately starts waving at it a bit - both through utter glee and trying to see if it actually is tracking properly.]
Ha ha ha - so it does work! This is excellent news, excellent! Now, if I can get it to -
[His voice is a bit odd - it's loud and enthusiastic, but it's strangely blunted, as though he hasn't...quite worked out how voice inflection works but dammit, he's trying. He reaches out while he talks, the conversation dissolving into rather pleased muttering to himself as he tries to turn off the 'Gear and promptly...uh, sends the video, good job.]
[VIDEO, TWO MINUTES AFTER THE FIRST]
[Well, Captain Eyebrows here seems to have gotten himself under a bit more control, though the amount of volume is still going to make people why he even bothered with a video - surely he can be heard in Kanto by now. He's clearly trying to sound authoritative; the effect is just...horribly shouty.]
My name is Ishimaru Kiyotaka, a student of the 78th annual class at Hope's Peak Academy! It's excellent to have a way to contact all of you, even if the situation that's brought it about is very weird indeed!
Whoever is responsible for this turn of events, I would like to both thank you for your generosity regarding the situation, and yet express my general confusion at what it is you expect me to do here! It would be appreciated if I could thank you in person - or...speak to you properly or knew who you were...hm.
[He...seems to have lost himself for a moment, hang on - ]
At any rate - if I've learned anything in my studies of others, it's that cooperation is the best way to ensure success! If you could introduce yourselves and tell me where it is you come from, I would be very grateful - let's make the most of this weird situation by working hard and working together!
[End feed!
...Ishimaru, please...]

GORDON COLE. I'M FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. ON THE PLANET EARTH.
video forever!
Good evening, sir, and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance! Though I hope to enter into the arena of foreign affairs eventually, I'm from the country of Japan, likewise on - !
no subject
Have you...dealt with very many people claiming otherwise, with regards to Earth...?
[I mean that is silly as hell sir but given this place he wouldn't be surprised]
no subject
[Hopefully that clears up any misunderstanding.]
no subject
Well, let's just amp up the volume, then!]
Don't worry, I didn't believe you were from Australia!! I'm likewise from Earth and understand where the United States of America is located!!
Have you met many aliens here?!
no subject
ALIENS? IF YOU MEAN LITTLE GREEN MEN FROM OUTER SPACE, THEN THE ANSWER IS DEFINITELY NO. NOT YET, ANYWAY. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I WOULDN'T BE TOO SURPRISED IF ONE SHOWED UP.
[Or if there's one here already. Or if there's some sort of alien Pokemon. Look, he's met a giant cricket with an absurd mustache and a baby tree with a face. He's not going to rule out aliens showing up next.]
no subject
No offense meant, sir, but why would you specify the planet, then?! Have people questioned that before?!
[All the yelling, Gordon. All of it.]
no subject
NO, I HAVEN’T QUESTIONED ANYONE ABOUT ALIENS. ALSO, I MADE SURE TO MENTION EARTH IN CASE YOU WEREN’T FAMILIAR WITH THE UNITED STATES.
[He’ll explain why in a second.]
THE REASON I DID THAT IS BECAUSE WHILE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE ARE FROM EARTH, IT’S NOT NECESSARILY THE SAME ONE OR EVEN IF IT IS, IT MIGHT NOT EVEN BE THE SAME YEAR AS IT WAS ON THE ONE I’M FROM OR YOU’RE FROM. I KNOW THAT PROBABLY DOESN’T MAKE MUCH SENSE, BUT IT DEFINITELY APPEARS TO BE WHAT’S GOING ON HERE.
no subject
...challenge accepted tbh.]
WELL, I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT WE'RE FROM THE SAME PLANET, SIR, AS WE ARE BOTH FAMILIAR WITH AMERICA AND PERTH SEEMS TO BE LOCATED IN THE SAME COUNTRY FOR BOTH OF US!! THAT'S A STRANGELY SPECIFIC DETAIL TO GET RIGHT BETWEEN ALTERNATE WORLDS OR DIMENSIONS OR...WHATEVER IT IS WE'RE LOOKING AT!
JUDGING FROM THE DATE ON THIS DEVICE, THIS WORLD IS A FEW YEARS AHEAD OF MINE BUT NOT VERY MANY!! IS IT THE SAME FOR YOU?!
[...he's going to have no voice tonight, but. Communication!!]
no subject
[He's just going to assume Ishimaru's asking what year it is on Gordon's earth.]
IT'S 1989 WHERE I COME FROM.
