[01] Cold, Wet, and Lost. [Video/Action]

[k9tantei]

[The feed clicks on to (1) disgruntled looking Osakan, who's already wandered off out on Route 29 in the middle of the night...]

[He hasn't gotten very far.]

[He's sopping wet and muddy and he's sitting half-cross-legged at the base of one of the ledges, in a puddle, with a visible scrape mark behind him from apparently skidding down the slope.]

[There's a largeish squirming shape that's taken up residence in his jacket, with a near-constant whining, and in the background up above can be heard a rapid-fire "RAATTATTTTATTT" scolding angrily.]

'Kay. Seriously.

What the HELL is going on?! This ain't Osaka, that wasn't my house, I don't even KNOW that lady, an' the damn book didn't give a single clue what the Hell or how I got here or where on EARTH this is-

[The scolding Rattata up above has moved from scolding to audibly strutting; Heiji scowls.]

.....Oh when this rain clears an' SOMEBODY stops bein' a wuss- [He's glaring sidelong up the hill...]

[ Osaka, huh? The poor guy was far from home. ] You're in Johto. We've all been pulled here.

...at least you didn't get here in December.

Lemme guess. I'm not gonna hear any sort of landmark that'd give me a clue where "Johto" is compared to Osaka. []

Lemme guess. It gets cold here.

Not until I get to hear how far we are from Tokyo, so no. I've been here almost four months now, and none of us have any ideas how to get back.

[ A sigh. ] And yes, it's well below freezing in winter.

I think w'might need to resort to quantum physics to figure out how far away we're talkin'. If we were on Earth, this area woulda shown up on a satellite map by now, an' the pokémon are way too visible; they'da shown up in cryptozoology studies, at least, or folktales, an' as well known as they are here, they'd've been known to the world by now.

[ Oh awesome they can be sigh buddies. ]

You mean you haven't heard of the video game?

....Yer the wrong one t'ask how or why or what the Hell, 'm guessing.

[video] o/ heading home, tags from here on out are from my phone~

[ He shakes his head, drooping. ]

We're in the same situation. I was pulled here without my permission.

[] Well, there's gotta be an answer somewhere in this crazy place...

[]

Say - how solid're the laws of physics here? The crazy music an' the pokéballs're pretty obvious, is there much else that goes by video game laws of reality 'stead of, you know, normal laws of reality?

[video] ...baby's first account fail, i am just on a roll tonight

[holdsleftovers.livejournal.com]

Hm.

[ Give him a moment, he needs to think. ]

Well for one thing, don't climb the ledges--but you've figured that one out already. You teach a technical machine move to a pokemon by bashing it over the head with the CD. Some pokemon spit water, but I for one would rather not know where it came from. A Ditto can breed with any pokemon, even if it has no gender. Oh, and ghost-type pokemon aren't actually ghosts.

[ Off the top of his head, that's all he remembers. ]

[video] Those are always fun...

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

I've got a fire-breathing dog. [] Not even gonna start on how that one works.

Well...Thanks - it's a start, right?

By the way, name's Heiji Hattori - don't think I caught yours.

[video]

[holdsleftovers.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, I was assuming you meant besides the pokemon's abilities. I haven't seen a single one that wasn't odd.

[ A pause, then a slightly brighter nod in polite greeting. ]

Nice to meet you, Hattori-san. I'm Watanuki.

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

Good t'meet you, too. Say - I know 'm kinda new to this an'all but -

If y'need anything an'I'm in the area, just lemme know! Dunno how much work there is for a detective here yet, but'm sure I'll find somethin' to do.
