starpunching[The audiofeed crackles on in what seems to be the middle of a conversation, the speakers seemingly unaware.]
-a journey? What? Lady, you seem real nice and stuff, but you ain't my Ma. Also, I dunno what "journey" you're talkin' about. The only "journey" I gotta take is down to the gym. Doc hates it when I'm late!
The gym? Just starting and you're already thinking about battling gymleaders! Such an enthusiastic boy! Good luck, dear! Work hard!
Wh-
Hey, wait a minute, what are you even talking abou-
H-Hey! HEY! Lady! Stop shovin' me!
[The sound of a door slamming can be heard, after which there are a few moments of silence.]
Uh...
This...
...What?

Date: 2011-01-31 05:56 am (UTC)Welcome to Johto!
[audio]
Date: 2011-01-31 06:06 am (UTC)H...
Hello?
[audio]
Date: 2011-01-31 06:16 am (UTC)owait you know ff.]
[audio]
Date: 2011-01-31 06:27 am (UTC)What?
I don't even know what that is.
[audio]
Date: 2011-01-31 06:50 am (UTC)[audio]
Date: 2011-01-31 07:09 am (UTC)waitasecond...
[Some rustling can be heard as Mac starts rummaging around in his backpack.]
Uh...Let's see...No...That's not it... Some kind of baseball...? Eh.
Oh! Hey!
[Mac's voice is probably a bit clearer at this point since he's managed to find his 'Gear.]
This is a phone? No way. I mean, this thing is tiny. No cell phone I've seen is anywhere near this small.
[audio]
Date: 2011-01-31 07:20 am (UTC)...Well, what year are you from?
[audio]
Date: 2011-01-31 07:34 am (UTC)[Well, that's a weird question.]
Uh, 1987...? I guess?
[audio]
Date: 2011-02-01 02:36 am (UTC)...By the way, I'm Scott Pilgrim, and I know everything about this world! [Well, not everything.]
[audio]
Date: 2011-02-01 02:52 am (UTC)...
I'm real sorry, dude, but did you say "the future?" "This world...?" I'm not sure I'm followin' you.
[audio]
Date: 2011-02-01 02:53 am (UTC)Yeah -- when you come here, you might have been from 1987... but I dunno the year here, so it might be the future. [Scott overthinks this sort of thing, you know.] And it's a whole new world, with no escape.
[audio]
Date: 2011-02-01 03:16 am (UTC)WHAT!?
Oh, man...Oh, maaaan!
Aw, geez, I was gettin' somewhere, too...!
Oh, dag. Doc's gonna be real mad if I don't show up for trainin'...
Hey, you said you know everything about this place, right? Is, uh, is there a reason I'm here? Or what?
[audio]
Date: 2011-02-01 04:22 am (UTC)[Now Scott is thinking. THE HORROR.]
Well, we're here to become the Johto champ, of course!
[audio]
Date: 2011-02-01 05:01 am (UTC)[Mac's interest is piqued.]
Champ, huh? Champ of what?
[audio]
Date: 2011-02-01 05:03 am (UTC)And the champ of the Pokemon League, of course! The strongest person in the universe!
[audio]
Date: 2011-02-01 05:21 am (UTC)Ohhh. The, uh, The Pokemon League. So...Pokemon is some kinda sport or somethin'?
[audio]
Date: 2011-02-01 05:25 am (UTC)--You're that Mac?!
[Time to answer his questions EVEN HARDER, and with a bit of fanboying in his voice.]
Yeah, it's a sport. But you don't do it -- in your bag, there should be a red-and-white ball. Inside is a Pokemon -- and you battle them with other wild ones, or against trained ones. I guess it'll be a bit hard to get used to, but fighting with fists isn't really allowed here.
[audio]
Date: 2011-02-01 05:37 am (UTC)That Mac...? Uh...I guess I am?
So that's what that ball was...
Wait. A Pokémon is an animal or somethin'? And we make 'em fight? Geez, I dunno. Not tryin' to start stuff or nothin' but that sounds kinda shifty, y'know?
[audio]
Date: 2011-02-01 05:40 am (UTC)We should totally meet up sometime. Well, not while I'm in Azalea... but I've always wanted to meet you, and stuff. Maybe I'll wait in Goldenrod...
Yeah, they're animals -- but they have special powers, and don't mind fighting. I guess Nintendo didn't want kids to be beating up people with other people, or something. Do you know how to turn this into a video? I can show you some of mine -- and my awesome badge.
[audio]-->[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 05:57 am (UTC)[Who knew beating the Minor Circuit was such a big deal?]
Well, I guess if they don't mind it...
Video? Wh- Uh, gimme a sec.
[Mac fiddles around with the gear for a few minutes before finally figuring out the video function. Mac appears on the video feed, surprised. Have a kid in a manly pink hoodie.]
Whoah. A phone with video...talk about choice...!
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 06:06 am (UTC)Yeah, it's even modern and awesome to me, and I'm from 2005!
[And then he lets out his team. A Typhlosion who does not look happy, a Furret who goes to cuddle up to the warm flaring mane of said Typhlosion, a Trapinch who lets out a yawn, a smiling Snover, a semi-tired Kingler... oh, and a giant Onix, who looks like it just got beaten up and captured this morning. Because it did.]
These are my guys -- they're really strong, and stuff. I've been here a few months -- so they've gotten plenty of training, too!
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 06:28 am (UTC)For the moment, he just looks at Scott's Pokemon in amazement.]
Whoa! Rad...! Plenty of training, huh? So...I guess that would kinda make us like coaches to these guys, huh?
[He looks to the red and white ball in his hand.]
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 06:30 am (UTC)Yeah, that's right! We've gotta train them up well, or they'll be losers and then you've gotta pay the other trainer, if it's a trainer battle.
So, what'd you get? You only start with one -- but you can catch others, too.
Knuckles -- I mean, the blue firey one was my starter, but it started off smaller and a lot different.
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 06:55 am (UTC)Huh...Never thought I'd be coaching anyone. Or, uh, anything, I guess.
[He fumbles with the Pokéball for a second, before pushing the button. One brief flash of light later, there is a serious looking little Tyrogue.]
[Mac grins.]
Hey, cool...!
Uh...So...Do these guys have names, or what?
Re: [video]
Date: 2011-02-01 07:01 am (UTC)That's a pretty cool one... and I guess it suits you! It looks like a fighting-type. There's 17 different types... and a fighting-type will be great on the first few routes!
[Man, Scott is becoming a coach to Little Mac. A coach friend.
But when names are mentioned, Scott smiles.]
Well, they've got species names, but I like giving mine nicknames. Y'know, so people don't mistake mine for theirs, or something. [That backfired during the short period of time he knew Mario.]
[video]
Date: 2011-02-01 11:31 pm (UTC)Types? Species...? Geez, this is startin' to sound more complicated than I thought. But I guess a nickname is a good idea.
[Mac kneels, turning to the Tyrogue.]
So, hey, little guy, how about a nickn-
GAH!
[You know how sometimes you make a cool little animal friend, and you're kind of excited, but then your little animal friend PUNCHES YOU IN THE FACE? Yeah.]
[video]
Date: 2011-02-03 02:21 am (UTC)I guess it wants to battle things.
[video]
Date: 2011-02-03 02:33 am (UTC)[Mac rubs his face where the hit landed.]
Little guy packs a punch! ...Hey...Maybe I'll call him Rocky!
[video] sorry for late -- stuff came up
Date: 2011-02-05 10:18 am (UTC)[video] No problem! :)
Date: 2011-02-05 11:06 pm (UTC)[Rocky continues to make impatient noises in the background.]
Guess I'd better get this little guy battling before he decides to take another swing at me...!
[video]
Date: 2011-02-08 06:08 am (UTC)[video]
Date: 2011-02-08 10:29 pm (UTC)[Clearly, Mac is pumped.]
Awright! Guess Rocky n' I'd better get goin', then!
[video]
Date: 2011-02-09 07:52 am (UTC)[Meanwhile, Scott is trying to think of how he'll explain he knows Little Mac... and also trying to figure out how he'll find out which version of the NES game he's from. Oh, Scott is going to be surprised.]
[Video]
Date: 2011-02-02 12:02 am (UTC)... Yeeeep, that was pretty much my reaction when I got here, too!
[Video]
Date: 2011-02-02 12:41 am (UTC)When you got here...?
Wait, so, like, is everyone here from different places?
[Video]
Date: 2011-02-02 05:25 am (UTC)There's a few people here from where I come from, but not many.
Like... four.
[Video]
Date: 2011-02-02 05:34 am (UTC)Man, this whole thing is startin' to sound real complicated. I've got people tellin' me people are here from different places AND different times?!
Geez... I'm startin' to wonder if maybe I took too many hits to the head...
[Video]
Date: 2011-02-02 07:21 am (UTC)Anyway... hits to the head?
What, you in a gang or something?
[... yes, the first thing Heather is going to assume is not 'pro boxer', but 'gang'. Shows what kind of neighborhood SHE grew up in.]
[Video]
Date: 2011-02-02 06:57 pm (UTC)No, no! I'm a boxer! Geez, is that the kinda vibe I give off...?
Though, there were some pretty rough guys back home. I mean, I guess I coulda been in a gang if I wanted. I bet I coulda kept up...
[...He's actually giving this thought.]
[Video]
Date: 2011-02-03 10:28 am (UTC)OH.
Well, I guess that's a bit more respectable than a gang member.
Anyway, hate to bust your bubble, but there's plenty of people here who HAVEN'T taken a lot of blows to the head and they're still as here as ever.
[Video]
Date: 2011-02-03 10:53 pm (UTC)...Huh. Well, I guess if havin' brain damage is the other possibility, then ending up...where ever we are is the better option...
Still, though, this is, uh, kind of a lot to take in, y'know?
[Video]
Date: 2011-02-04 08:35 am (UTC)Don't worry, you're not alone. Most people kinda wig out when they get here, anyway. Not that I can blame any of 'em.
[Video]
Date: 2011-02-04 11:07 pm (UTC)Oh, uh, I'm Mac, by the way.
[Video]
Date: 2011-02-05 10:54 am (UTC)Nah, man, you're good.
Nice t'meet ya. Name's Heather.
