1ST REVOLUTION - [VIDEO/ACTION FOR NEW BARK TOWN]

[atrueheroine]

[[Good morning, Route! If you're lucky enough to be keeping an eye on the feed today, you're in for a bit of a treat, courtesy of one of Johto's newest arrivals.

The image is slanted, as if the 'Gear has fallen on the ground at an odd angle. However, the picture is quite comprehensible and clear, showing a grassy area outside New Bark Town. In the picture are an oddly-dressed woman and a rather large Kangaskhan. One of these two is ridiculously excited and bouncing for joy, while the other is crouching down, wielding a stick and looking incredibly unamused and mildly disturbed.

It doesn't take the IQ of an Alakazam to work out who is who; as the Kangaskhan gleefully surges towards her, the girl leaps to the side, lithely rolling and landing back on her feet, supporting herself on one arm. She doesn't take her eyes off the Pokemon in front of her, occasionally reaching towards a holster on her belt, wincing with frustration every time she finds it to be empty.

The Kangaskhan releases another happy cry, before promptly having another shot at catching the girl with the stick. Unfortunately for the latter, this charge is about twice the speed of the others, and with a very undignified shriek she's caught, the Pokemon bouncing happily!]]

Let me go!

[[The stick lost, the girl can only push against the Kangaskhan's massive arms currently holding her pressed against its body, kicking out angrily as she tries to come to terms with just what has happened here. The thrashing continues for a little while longer, until the girl is unceremoniously dumped into the Pokemon's pouch, legs dangling out of it, while the Pokemon bounces over to the 'Gear and looks down at it happily.

And to top it off, the baby gives the girl a happy lick right up her cheek.

Any advice would be appreciated. Very, very appreciated.]]

[...What did he even witness... That has got to be the most humiliating arrival in Johto he's seen so far. Good job, Page!]

[That said, Logan does recognize her from the wanted posters - he obviously has never met or seen Page, but the posters certainly got her likeness down correctly! As head of the rebellion, she was standing against both him and Reaver. Naturally he didn't find her much of a threat (because really, when you're focused on impending doom, no one is really much of a threat), so is responding really such a good idea?]

[...Of course it is!]

It should go without saying that you're no longer in Albion. This place is called Johto, and that creature is your only means of protection.

[...Hopefully it won't keep you in the pouch forever... And you're totally fine, right? It would be stupid to ask about that!!]

[Yeah, he's just going to... not deal with whatever the hell it was he just saw. :| ]

[[aslfkjasdas just let her fight her way out of this goddamn pouch

no?

ok, she'll just-

....

ok the Kangaskhan just happily handed her the gear, that works too]]

I can see that, I-

[[..............................]]

[atrueheroine]

[[You know, she really should be boggling over this device, but the face of the person she's currently talking to is taking priority.]]

You're.....!!!

[VIDEO]

[decrees]

[...You really have gotten yourself in quite the mess, haven't you... Well, at least your giant... uh... whateveritis seems nice enough? Maybe it will let you out eventually...?]

King Logan, yes.

[He'll just hold up a hand to (hopefully) stave off the incoming accusations.]

Before you ask, I have nothing to do with how you got here, nor do I have any idea why we're here. From what I've heard, there's no way to return to Albion. For the time being, it seems we're stuck here. I understand you are furious with me and the way I have handled things, but now is not the time or place to focus on that.

[Because really, there are far more important things to deal with here. Such as not being able to return home. Which you know, is probably best for Albion, but details.]

We're not the only ones from Albion here either. Reaver and his butler are both here as well.

[Let's see, is he missing anything else?]

Ah, and no one has found where they're keeping our weapons yet.

[That about sums up all the important things!]

[VIDEO]

[atrueheroine]

[[Page listens as Logan lectures her, trying to fight off the confusion that's threatening to overwhelm her. King Logan and her, having a conversation, while he communicates with her through this...Pokegear thing that woman talked about.

That woman had said she was her mother. Page had to resist the urge to slap her. Even now, she's still upset by the whole thing.

Not that she'll let Logan know that.]]

I....well, where is here, then?

[[Reaver and his butler, what....TOO MUCH INFORMATION, LOGAN!!]]

[VIDEO]

[decrees]

This place is known as Johto. It doesn't appear to be anywhere near Albion. Those I've spoken to haven't even heard of Albion.

[You can imagine how linefacey he was about that.]

[VIDEO]

[atrueheroine]

So how exactly did we get here?

[[Let her just....ignore who you are for now; there will be time to scream at you later!]]

[Video]

[feelofmisfortune]

[The embarrassment of the pretty girl alone made Barry watch the feed, smirking at the struggle. Animals vs. Women! Always a fun one.

And then he realizes he knows her.]

Having twouble, are we? Unless you're enjoyin' it, of course- which, don't wowwy, I can welate to that.

[Video]

[atrueheroine]

[[Page manages to force herself out of the pouch so she can grab the Gear, only to be shoved back in once it's in her hand. She ignores the fact that her new Pokemon probably intended for it to happen that way, due to the fact that she's currently trying to restrain herself from yelling at the person speaking to her.]]

Does it look like I'm enjoying myself?

[[.......oh god, it's you. Right, let her just try to get some swag back, here...even though it's really quite difficult to look intimidating when you're sitting in the pouch of a massive....whatever this thing is.

She settles for crossing her arms.]]

And here I was thinking that balverine had finished you off. This day just keeps getting better and better.

[Video]

[feelofmisfortune]

No need to get angwy, sweetheart.

Nah, looks like someone up their liked me enough to give me a second chance.

[He has learnt nothing other than to hate Balverines.]

Didn't get killed in the final wound, didya?

[Video]

[atrueheroine]

Of course not. You'll have to do better than some stupid game if you want to kill me.

[[Is it obvious she's still kind off asspained about that whole thing? Because that was kind of the worst mission ever.]]

Apparently I can't quite say the same for you.

[[Seriously Barry, the second-hand embarrassment was pretty overwhelming, there. Smooth move.]]

[Video]

[feelofmisfortune]

Stupid? Didn't I do a good enough job commentating?

[YEP. And he's amused.]

In my defence, I didn't know she was gonna twansform.

[Video]

[atrueheroine]

[[That first comment will get you nothing more than a very sardonic look, but the second....]]

What's the point of having a party full of balverines, anyway? I mean really, they can't make for very good conversation.

[[.....not that she's....sure she really wants to know the answer to that, um.....]]

[video]

[soggypastry]

[...well. Clearly people will always have odd reactions to new places, but this is kind of an over reaction. Granted when something that size is charging it's pretty much instinct to get out of the way, but still.]

Calm down. It's not going to hurt you.

[video]

[atrueheroine]

Easy-for you to say, ugh-!!

[[After another minute of trying to fight her way free of the Kangaskhan's grasp (and failing miserably in the attempt), Page slumps, breathing heavily. Her Pokemon is still beaming, of course, and hops closer to the Gear so Lightning will have a better view.]]

Do you know what it actually wants? Is it food? I can afford to spare some if it means this thing will leave me alone.

[video]

[soggypastry]

[Lightning will just look back at the Kangaskhan, frowning faintly. That's...really not a good way to endear yourself to your trainer, you know?]

Hard to say for sure, but it probably wants to play. It's not going to leave you alone, either, so don't bother trying to get rid of it any other way. It's yours now.

[video]

[atrueheroine]

Well, I'll try to fit it in my bag when I return to Bowerstone-!!!

[[With one last shove, Page manages to free herself of the pouch, landing on the ground with a thud. Her Pokemon promptly picks her up by the shoulders and places her on her feet, happily brushing the dust off her clothes while Page tries to swat her away.

Clearly this is the best way for her to bond with her new trainer! :3]]

On that note, I don't suppose you could tell me the quickest route to get there? That.....woman in the house was useless, and I've got a lot of work to do.

[video]

[soggypastry]

[Well, it's a start for good bonding habits, anyway. Not that her trainer seems to care much for the idea.

Also, have a headshake. She hasn't been all over this place, sure, but that name's not on any map. Could be around, but probably isn't.]

There's no fast route between worlds. You're stuck here, same as the rest of us.

[video]

[atrueheroine]

Stuck here?! That's not...you mean there really isn't any way to get back home?

[[Releasing a cry of frustration, Page angrily kicks at the grass, hands curling into fists.]]

Then I'll just have to find a way! Surely there must be something? What about my gun; could I at least get that back?

[istheindustry]

[While normally, Reaver doesn't give a single damn about anyone posting to the network after having just arrived - he really doesn't care to explain this place to anyone, it's all horrifically boring business as far as he's concerned - this particular arrival catches his attention for several reasons...not least of which is the fact that he actually recognizes the star of this particular show.

Page. Page. There are so many things that could be said about this, you know...]

Well, well, well - you're really not disproving my initial assessment of you, you know! I knew I wasn't wrong about that passion of yours; do you take it home with you, I wonder?

[...so naturally, he goes with one of the more loaded ones.

WELCOME TO JOHTO, HOPE YOU WEREN'T EXPECTING A PLEASANT STAY.]

[atrueheroine]

[[Page actually freezes when she hears that voice coming out of her discarded gear, confusing her Kangaskhan horribly. Not enough to make it stop trying to keep her in the pouch, but still. You cannot be serious, Johto. You cannot-

-let her just flail her way over to that Gear, there; it takes a bit of effort but she's very determined. Once she reaches it (admittedly, with her Pokemon's help)....

....

oh come on]]

Oh, of course you'd be here. Just when I thought-

[[....could you please let go of her arm, you strange creature-thank you]]

-things couldn't get any worse.

[[AND YES SHE IS FREE OF THE POUCH and currently holding onto that Gear, glaring daggers at the face cheerfully displayed on the screen. So business as usual, then!]]

[istheindustry]

Surely, I couldn't allow everyone else to have all the fun...and this world has proven to be quite the amusing one indeed.

Good of you to finally join the party, my dear.

[atrueheroine]

I didn't exactly get the chance to refuse the invitation.

[[Ugh.]]

Had I known you were attending, I would have politely declined.

[istheindustry]

Now, now, there's no need to be so worked up about all of this. You're going to work yourself into an early grave, at the rate you're going; something of a shame, I'd think, especially when there are so many...ah, possibilities to be explored.

[if

you get

his drift]

[atrueheroine]

[[Oh she does; now could he please take it back?]]

I've never heard an early grave sound so appealing. You've got a talent.

[[She is.....actually keeping the rage levels under control for now! God knows how long that will last, but at least she's trying. Trying so very hard.]]
