04. On Johto

[isthedeadcat]

Good afternoon everyone!

It has been a while since I last made a transmission, but the raising of pokémon can be quite time consuming when you have five children to look after.

[Oh, and talking about said children, there they are in the background. The Skarmory seems to be bragging about something to the Dratini (who is wearing a pretty pink ribbon in her neck)...]

I have been here for almost seven weeks now, and I have talked to many who want to go back and others who do not, or are not certain.

[And uh. Now Dratini is slapping Skarmory. With her tail. And somehow the Skarmory with all his awesome metal plating is being owned by her.

Charmander is of course on the side. Laughing the flame of his tail off.]

It's nothing but mere curiosity, but do you want to stay or do you want to leave?

I suppose it's only correct for me to start by saying that I am planning on staying in Johto for as long as I am able to. I find this place fascinating, and I wish to see as much of it as possible.

How about you?

[Oh, dear, that's a rather creepy-looking man in the feed. His face is taking up almost the whole thing, but there's enough room to also see that his hair is surrounded by a purple haze and is moving on its own.]

May I know who's asking?

[Lion pretty much has an immunity to creepy by now, so hello creepy sir! XD]

My name is Lion Ushiromiya.

Those are very well thought reasons... I have been giving this some thought ever since I arrived here.

I am the same in a way, in this place I can see some people I love but have lost.

[Boy Lion, did you pick a great time to ask THAT. When the feed comes on, it's a widepan view of the inn room, which looks like it's been utterly ransacked. Not to worry, no rockets were responsible. Just one very agitated-looking silver-haired man who is now furiously pushing the table away from the wall to peer behind it. Apparently not finding what he's looking for, he turns to rage at the Gastly hovering on the air nearby]

Where is it? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH IT, YOU FOUL SACK OF GAS??

[The Gastly responds with what sounds like hissing laughter and it's best 'U MAD, BRAH?' face. Eevee, Princess, and Cube have wisely not involved themselves in this debacle and are watching from the other side of the room. One red eye twitches as Gaga glaaares at his newest "companion".]

I am going to count to three...and if that orb is not back on the nightstand where I left it when I'm done, things are about to get horribly unpleasant around here. ONE. [Gastly continues to trollface] *TWO*.... [A pillow levitates itself off of the bed just behind him] TH--[FLOOMPH! He flails for balance at the surprise projectile, going over in a heap on the mattress as Gastly laughs some more and phases out of sight, leaving Gaga to his tantrum]

WHEN I GET HOME, THE FIRST THING I'M DOING IS HAVING THE BIGGEST DRAUGHT OF WINE I CAN FIND AND FORGETTING I EVER *HEARD* THE NAME JOHTO!!!

[aaaand the feed cuts. Does that answer your question? :B]

[Video]

[isthedeadcat]

[Oh boy.]

I take it things are still difficult with that Gastly?

[Brb not listening

too busy watching your dratini]

FLUTTERSHY. I-I mean, both are fine whatever you prefer |D

[isthedeadcat]

[Oh...] Her name is Giselle, do you want me to call her over?

[video]

[puzzlesitter.livejournal.com]

You know, I've never thought about it until now.

I wouldn't mind staying here a while longer, though...I do hope to get home eventually.

[video]

[isthedeadcat]

I agree, Johto is a nice place, but coming or leaving should be an option.

[Action]

[buttpinched.livejournal.com]

[Will just arrived from the supermarket when he notices the Giselle owing the Skarmory. Diana enters with her ribbon in her head and her hair brushed happily.]

This makes the third time in a row, Noah.

[Action]

[isthedeadcat]

And there is no way I can make him understand that this is definitely not the way to court Giselle.

Not that it makes much sense anyway, as they are in completely different egg groups. [SIGH, NOAH XD] I fear he may be somehow taking after Battler.

[video]

[combat_butler]

I plan to leave. *no hesitation!*

[video]

[isthedeadcat]

I remember we talked about that once...

You have important people waiting for you back home, so it's only logical, isn't it?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

I plan on leaving. I can't stay here.

[video]

[isthedeadcat]

Do you have something important back in your world, Kuroba-san?

[Video]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

[A little bit of hesitation.]

... If it all came down to it, I would want to leave. Well, I would want to hear Rika-chan's and Satoko's opinions on if they wanted to go home.

[Video]

[isthedeadcat]

Do they come from your world, Maebara-san?

[Video]

[devilbatshit.livejournal.com]

I guess some people might be planning on staying, but I'm still pretty much trying to get out of here.

Who wants to know?

[Video]

[isthedeadcat]

So far I have spoken to people in all sides, including those who would stay for a while and then leave...

I'm Lion Ushiromiya.

[Video]

[cantseeghosts.livejournal.com]

Everyone here has been incredibly kind, but I would actually like to leave if possible. I'm sure my parents and friends back home must be worried after all, and I would like to see them again. I would miss all the people I've met here, though.

[She notices the Pokemon in the background for the first time, and is temporarily distracted.] O-oh! Are your Pokemon okay? It looks like they're arguing.

[Video]

[isthedeadcat]

Of course, having important people back home is always a good reason for wanting to go back...

[Looks to the back...] Oh. They always do that. Noah must be a bit of a masochist since he keeps coming back for more.

[brbjudgingyou.livejournal.com]

It matters not.

[isthedeadcat]

So any place is the same for you? [Only polite curiosity here.]

[video]

[usedpursuit.livejournal.com]

I still intend to stay as long as I can, as well.

[video]

[isthedeadcat]

I hope that the person you are waiting for will eventually find their way here too, Sumeragi-san.

[veritadorata.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you got flooded by answers.

[There's random encounter battle background music? XD]

[Video]

[isthedeadcat]

I did get quite a few answers, and everyone has their own reasons... [What the hell, cousin.]

[Voice]

[foolishwren]

...

<sub>[When she'd first arrived, Heather would have said she'd wanted to go home in an instant. It was just the principal of the thing. Kidnapping was BAD, right?]

[... But... things had changed since then.]</sub>

.... Depends on who else was staying.

[Video]

[isthedeadcat]

You have people you love here too, don't you?

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...Not planning on staying here for too long.

[He has an army to go back to.]

[isthedeadcat]

Do you have important things to go back to?

[video]

[used-harden.livejournal.com]

If there is the option for me to return, then I shall take it.

[video]

[isthedeadcat]

Most of the ones that agree with you have important people or duties to go back to... Are you the same?
