Pokemon & Gear [Video/Action]

[silverphoenix]

WHO: Ernesti and YOU!
WHERE: Genessia City and Nova City
WHEN: February 25 - March 3
WHAT: Pokemon 2018 event! AKA how Eru get along with his Pokemon
WARNINGS: Nothing so far. But will change if something happens

[Video]

[As the video starts, you can see a confused Ernesti staring at a strange one-eyed blue robotic arm creature and a grey one-eyed creature with magnets for arms.]

Can someone explain to me about these guys? They’re not Demon Beasts and I doubt they are robots.

[Video] Rumors Response

[A day later, you can see Eru smiling unnaturally as he starts to speak.]

Whoever Satsuki or Tsukasa is, I recommend you not to sneak into my apartment to steal Ikaruga and Mephisto.

And to whoever spread that kind of rumor, please stop.

[In case you haven’t guess by now, his tone of voice is somehow threatening despite his smile.]

[Nexus Defense] Gear Check

[While he was still perplexed at these new creatures, they seemed to be a blessing for him as his now evolved Metang and Magneton is helping him out with his incomplete invention. By the looks of it, it seemed to be like the Silhouette Gears, except this one seems to be a bulkier version of it due to being a prototype. Not to mention it is supposed to be one of the defense weapons for the company he’s currently working for.

While onlookers may able to take a closer look at his work in progress project, residents outside the building may hear an explosion from his Gear thanks to his latest failure.]

(OOC: Here’s Ernesti’s Pokemon for this year’s event so far:

Beldum [Ikaruga]
Magnemite [Mephisto]
Ferroseed
Klefki
Klink

I may update this list if he has new Pokemon.)

How cuuute! Hehe. It has magnets for aaarms!

Are those your 'Pokemon?' I got one too! [Her Espurr is settled on her shoulder, staring at the screen like he has no soul.]

Re: Video

[silverphoenix]

Yeah. That's what the lady said to me when I got the blue one.

[While his Beldum isn't fazed by her Espurr, his Magnemite on the other hand, is shivering at their stare.]

[priceofmagic]

They're super cute! Eheh. The blue one has eyes like mine~.

Are you going to name them? [... Oh. She's being a bit too cozy with this stranger.] I'm Satou, by the way. And this is Mikitty.

[silverphoenix]

Nice to meet you, Satou. I'm Ernesti Echavalier, but you can call me "Eru".

And a name for both of them, huh?

[He then looks at his Beldum and Magnemite and thinks about it before he realizes something.]

I might call this blue guy "Ikaruga" because it's color reminds me a lot of my Silhouette Knight from my world.

[Yeah, that name really gives him many memories.]

[priceofmagic]

Nice to meet you, Eru-san~.

Ehehe. Ikaruga... That's such a nice name. I named Mikitty after my friend Mikky, too. Mikale always calls me 'Kitten,' so~! [She grins playfully.] Revenge nickname~!

[-- and then, after realizing she just bluntly announced her awful intentions, she covers her mouth.] I-I'm joking, of course, ahahaha!

[silverphoenix]

I-It's alright.

So do you know where these creatures came from?

[priceofmagic]

No idea! Probably somewhere super cute and happy, though?

[She really is an intelligent person, I swear.] But I won't ask questions. They're here now, and that's what matters, right? They're like us.

[silverphoenix]

I agree. I feel that Ikaruga and my new friend may able to help with my future projects.

[priceofmagic]

Oh, future projects? Sorry, I'm not keeping you from a current project, am I? I can get out of your hair.

[Voice]

[weavemyownfate]

[Well that's... Random. Satsuki at first thought to ignore the comment but curiosity gets the best of her in the end.]

I presume the rumor you speak of is that Satsuki and Tsukasa are part of Team Rocket?

Re: [Voice]

[silverphoenix]

I think so...

But who are these Team Rocket you've spoken of?

[Voice]

[weavemyownfate]

Team Rocket? They are an organization that steal pokemon for their own purposes- black market sales if I recall correctly.

They can be identified by the 'R' insignia upon their uniforms and seem to only be active during pokemon phenomenon like these, so I do not have as much information on them as I would like. Based on that alone I find it highly unlikely that either person you mentioned would be involved with such a group.

Re: [Voice]

[silverphoenix]

I see. But even if it's just a rumor, I should look out for them in case of any danger, correct?

Re: [Voice] -> [Video]

[weavemyownfate]

[There's a pause, but then amused huff follows.]

With the possibility of truth somewhere in that rumor, it is reasonable to be on guard but it would also be wise to obtain some information on your suspects to weigh against.

[And with that she switches to video.]

I am Satsuki Kiryuin; Headmaster of Second Honnouji Academy- two years ago I defended Nova City from Team Rocket as its Guardian. That kind of information should not be difficult for you to confirm.

[Video]

[silverphoenix]

[He also switches to video just as he speaks to Satsuki.]

So they even attacked the other cities during this phenomenon years ago?

[Video]

[weavemyownfate]

[... Oh. Satsuki knew he sounded young but actually seeing him reminds her of the only young boy she'd devoted time to here in Genessia. She had decided to avoid engaging any others since she ended up getting too attached to him.

She'd dropped that line of thinking earlier in the year, but the reveal still hits her harder than she expected.]

Y- Yes. Of course they learned the hard way how in over their heads they were. If there is one thing I can say of the otherworlders here, many are exceptional in self-defense.

Re: [Video]

[silverphoenix]

Can you tell me more about this incident more specifically? Like how armed these Team Rocket members are during the attack.

Video

[last_decade]

Oi, oi, who do you think I am, Kaitou?!

I wouldn't steal anything, damn rumors.

Re: Video

[silverphoenix]

[He doesn't know if he's talking about a person or a "phantom thief", but he thinks they count.]

Who even in a right mind making those rumors up?

Re: Video

[last_decade]

Who knows. People just like gossip.

[Well he's a thief at least.]

Re: Video

[silverphoenix]

Huh... Guess they want to make any kind of rumors as they like.

Re: Video

[last_decade]

Seems like it. I doubt there's any reason for it though.

Re: Video

[silverphoenix]

By the way, do you have any creatures like Ikaruga and Mephisto?

Re: Video

[last_decade]

I got a Pichu. They're pretty adorable for the most part. He's a troublemaker though.

[Turning around, he exclaimed,] Pichu that's not a toy!

[Said Pichu is playing with the camera in the house.]

Re: Video

[silverphoenix]

[Upon he sees the said Pokemon, he takes a few seconds to stare at it before he turns to the thief.]

Huh? I guess they aren't limited to robotic-like creatures like mine.
