[The camera starts off with the stoic face of a moss-haired individual. He's staring at the communicator, though his eyes, hidden by his bangs, give him more of a dangerous appearance than a curious one.]

...it's on.

Where is this?

[His voice is soft, oddly enough. He looks around.]

A woman must be mistaken... she called me her son before sending me off... How unfortunate to have confused me... [His head turns back towards her house--and then he remembers what he was doing with this thing.

He holds up his pokéball.] I don't think this is mine... If anyone knows that woman's son, could you tell me where I can return this to him?

She does that for everyone who wakes up there. That's meant for you.

So it's mine? But... are you sure? I don't want to take it if it was meant for her son.

[shiromadoushi]

Un, it's yours. Everyone who wakes up in there gets one. It holds your first companion creature.

[[starting to feel like he's acting the part of the quest start point in an RPG now. Oddly, that makes him smile]]

Companion creature... It looks like a pokéball.

[His head tilts at the smile, and he glances back at the small ball.]

...This isn't a joke, is it?

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa--- you've played the game, then? [[starting to feel he's the only one who hasn't.]] It's not a joke, the world here seems like it's based off that game.

[vocal-gardens.livejournal.com]

I did, when I was younger. It's been a while.

[Wait what.]

...a world based... off... of pokémon? Is that possible?

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

It must be if we're in it, right?

[Video]

[vocal-gardens.livejournal.com]

...I guess so.

[And slowly, he starts to smile too.]

I never thought this was possible... but it shouldn't be that dangerous.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

It's not very dangerous at all. It's probably safer than real life!

[Video]

[vocal-gardens.livejournal.com]

Really? That sounds nice...

...but I really should return home. I have school in the morning.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

You don't have to worry about that! I've heard time doesn't pass back home while we're here.

[Video]

[vocal-gardens.livejournal.com]

...it doesn't?

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

That's what everyone says.

[Video]

[vocal-gardens.livejournal.com]

How bizarre. Like a dream.

I guess I will go forward. Am I supposed to be on a quest?

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

There's the main quest to get all the badges, but it's optional.

[Video]

[vocal-gardens.livejournal.com]

Badges? You can do that here as well?

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Yup! I think there's 8 of them you can get.

[Video]

[vocal-gardens.livejournal.com]

Ah! Just like the games... But... do the pokémon get hurt?

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

A little... But you can heal them up easily and it doesn't seem to bother them much at all.

[Video]

[vocal-gardens.livejournal.com]

Ah... That's good. Thank you.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

It's no trouble.
