Journal Entry # 1 [Video/Action]

[sneezelikeakitten]

[Anyone who walks by or happens to be watching the network feed will see a frustrated kid siting on the grass and flipping through an old, battered journal.]

There isn't anything in this book about 'Pokémon'! Or how a sheep can produce electricity! That mom lady must have been a shape-shifter who didn't look anything like my mom... and that professor makes McGucket look sane...

[The gear moves towards the boy before it's tossed to the ground. Unfortunately, it lands face down, obscuring whatever threw it and the boy.]

Hey! Don't break that. We might need it later.

[Just throw your expensive video phone around like it's no big deal, that's not risky or anything. That kid is going to be so sad when it eventually breaks if he keeps that up...

Or, well, whoever threw it.]

T-Try not to sit around too much, the weather will probably get cold again once the sun goes down, zura.

[ACK IT'S A PHONE! Oh! A smart phone with face-to-face capabilities. Neat.]

I noticed. It's winter here, isn't it... strange, I just came from a place where it was summer.

[Definitely something to look into. And this guy looked strange. Hmm....]

[eclectictype]

[Well, at least she's not the only one that got abruptly dropped off into a new and strange world. After some fiddling with the clothes she was left with and finding a place to change into them/layer them under her witchy robes (forgoing the boots because how the hell is she supposed to walk in those) Jade's ready to set off and make her way into the world of Pokemon.

It's just seeing this kid here has caused her to stop and kneel down to his level.]

Hey there. [Her tone is pretty friendly!!] You just came here too, huh? Are you in need of help?

[sneezelikeakitten]

[A shriek was an understatement. Where did this girl come from????

Dipper tries not to back away from sudden stranger in his face. She didn't look like she could harm him... then again, neither ad Wendy when he first met her. Girls are still a mystery he can't solve at the age of 12.]

N-No! I'm fine! I mean, y-yeah, I just got here.

[Why are you so friendly with a stranger, girl?]

[veggie_vamp]

[Head... tilt?]

Say, didn't we meet somewhere before?

[She has a vague recollection of some weird stuff happening with a fog and other nonsense.]

Video

[sneezelikeakitten]

[What.]

N... o? I've never been here before.

[doesntdomuch]

[Well hey, it can't hurt to talk about this world to strangers. Someone needs to tell him about it.]

I'm pretty sure this "mom" person isn't a shapeshifter, if you ask me.

They seem more like some kind of AI.

[Perry no, don't encourage him.]

[Text]

[sneezelikeakitten]

An AI?

[That's even more troubling.]

How do we know she won't get violent and try and take this place over? We have to stop her before that happens!

Your book might not include any information about Pokémon, but the handbook you received should cover the basics. Any additional question concerning them can be addressed to your fellow trainers and breeders on the network, of course.

[After all, what's the point of having a communication device that covers two whole regions if you can't use it to ask random questions at two in the morning?]

'Mother' is... ill, as far as we can tell. For a few minutes, she sincerely believes that every person who arrives in her home is her own child.

[video]

[sneezelikeakitten]

[Was this guy's hair really that color? Weird... a grandpa maybe?]

It's a journal, not a book.

[Though he has found the trainer's book. It wasn't as interesting, but he'll read through it all the way.]

And no one is helping her get better?

[the_pilgrim]

Some of them breathe fire.

Video

[sneezelikeakitten]

[Staaaaaaaaaare, and a nervous glance at his sheep.]

Sheep that breathe fire...

[video]

[fatalissimo]

Doesn't it defeat the point of shapeshifting if she looks nothing like she's supposed to?

[...that probably isn't at all the point being made here.]

[video]

[sneezelikeakitten]

No one ever said shapeshifters were smart.

[They can be quite dumb, and he's had experience with one.]

[VIDEO]

[adai]

Well, I'm not entirely sure how Mareep can produce electricity, but that's not really the strangest thing you'll see here.

[He has no idea what to do with the rest of that so he'll just... ignore it. Yep.]

Did you just arrive here?

[VIDEO]

[sneezelikeakitten]

So I keep being told.

[Why are all these people talking to him. Seriously. His sister is the social one!]

Yes.

video ; im hERE

[embezzling]

[ Oh God what is THIS??? Stan's got the Gear by BOTH HANDS, peering into it with his non-seeing old man eyes. ]

Dipper??

video;

[sneezelikeakitten]

[.... that is the last face he expected to see. Dipper is both glad and not glad to see his grunkles face.]

Grunkle Stan???

video

[shatterings]

I'm sure she's not a shape-shifter... Everyone does meet her upon arriving here, though.

video

[sneezelikeakitten]

[Oh! A girl. Who is cute. No, stop Dipper. This isn't the time.]

Yeah, I think that's out. I've been discussing the possibility of her being an AI with someone else.

[Video]

[samsa]

It doesn't seem like it would make sense, but these sheep actually produce a lot of electricity.

[Don't take them out into the rain, that's all he's sayin'.

That journal, though...]

Where did you get that book?

[Video]

[sneezelikeakitten]

Wool does conduct a lot of static electricity...

[Is this a college guy? Looks like someone who could stand behind a Starbucks counter.

Guess who is holding the book protectively against his chest now.]

Why do you want to know? It's mine! [No, not really. It belongs to Grunkle Ford.]

[ossifragant]

I don't think she's a shapeshifter, I think she's just... very confused.

video;

[sneezelikeakitten]

Can confusion be this powerful?

[Confused enough to think hundreds if not thousands of people are her kids?]

Video

[bent_the_world]

Nah, all the information's right here!

[Korra taps her gear screen.]

Basically everything you need to know about Pokemon is in your bag. And there's a lot to know.

Video

[sneezelikeakitten]

I know that. I just want to know what the point is? Is training these things the way out? Do we need to satisfy some sort of quota? What's the average time before people are sent back home?

[Answers. He needs them.]
