[Text] Journey start

really
is this really how this is going to go down

this feels a little like dejavu but without the hey ive been here before
like the circumstances feel somewhat passingly familiar
me and some weird pony just hanging out and waiting to see whats up
maybe ill name her black beauty not that shes black
youre a she right
im not looking to check fyi
you do that on your own time

were new in town and too cool for school or so someone calling herself my mom seems to think
ive seen my mom shes way hotter than that
there is a clear path of how did this dude came to be when you look at mom
not so much here sorry lady
but you can keep thinking whatever thats cool

now seriously what the hell is going on

[ooc: Color text opt out over here.]

it's funny because you've been here before.
four times now, to be exact.
but yes, this is really how it's going to go down.
you really are in the land of pokemon now.
just like in the video games only the pokemon are real instead of pixels.
it's actually kind of great.
and "mom" does that to everyone. kind of creepy but at least you never have to hear from her again after this.

shit better get used to it yeah i gathered i was in pokemon
which is a lot less weird than our entire lives but anyway
what do you mean ive been here four times
so she just sees kids off with a tearful little wave and a im so proud
that
isnt disconcerning at all

exactly what it sounds like. you were here for a while, then you left, then you came back.
and this is the fifth repetition of that cycle.
it happens sometimes. especially with people from our world, i've noticed.
yes, that is exactly what she does.

ugh
thought i was done with looping or at least being out of the know
well lay it on me
is this legit just like the pixelated capture and fight program we know or is there a hidden twist
like you reach the edge of it and suddenly holy shit everything is out to eat you instead

for the most part, it is.
kanto is even a region next to this one.
but sometimes there's some weird shit that goes on.
and team rocket is getting better at doing their job.

oh so they connected everything to finally make it make sense
ill drop over here out of shock
what
it took them long enough
take it youve run into them a few times

only once directly.
they pulled a train heist at the end of last year.
which on the one hand, obviously sucked because there was a bomb on the train and we could have died.
but on the other, how many people can say they've been part of a train heist?
but other than that, i haven't really had any run-ins.
been on the receiving end of some of the things they've done though, everyone has.
exploding bugs, crazy wireless broadcasts that make the pokemon go nuts, ridiculous amounts of garbage, pokecenter explosions, and my personal favorite: airborne mutagens.
most of these didn't exactly work the way they planned but they still managed to wreck some havoc.

we really have to talk about your priorities dude
speaking of which what part of heroic kill makes game over did you not get
this means pushing people out of the way and taking hits is not going to be a pop back up for us
you could have just yanked mom down or out of the way and still got what you wanted done
not that im not glad you helped her but still
seeing as i doubt youll ever be offed for just reasons only thing to avoid is the hero kaput

heroic kill?
ohhh you mean that god tier stuff or whatever?
rose and vriska told me about that.
you must be from after you and rose set up the bomb or whatever then, right?
hate to break it to you, but none of that matters here.
i guess you haven't noticed yet, but this world has a staunch no-powers policy.
though for the record, supposedly nobody can die here.
so i guess you sort of got to keep that perk. without limitations this time though.

i figured the powers thing out myself
but what do you mean told
are you saying were all from different points in our timeline thats straight up crazy talk
anyway yeah it dont matter dick here but youre from the past ok
no dude the whole godtier thing is different you die but you come back
pending the two conditions but who gives a fuck
tell me what pokemon youve netted
im at the edge of my seat waiting for what magic little monsters youve got on your roster

i had a feeling you would.
yeah, that's exactly what i am saying.
timeline consistency mean jack dick to whatever magical force it is that brings us here.
i hadn't even gotten jade into the game yet before i wound up here.
when rose first showed up she was waaaaay behind.
then she passed out for a week and woke back up with a whole bunch of new memories.
i have like forty pokemon though at this point though dude, do you really want me to list them all?

would i say i wanted to hear about them if didnt
come on get with the listing john

dunsparce, pidgeot, haunter, lopunny, quagsire, luxray, umbreon, dusknoir, persian, spiritomb, nosepass, ninetales, rotom, swampert, venomoth, kabutops, venusaur, lapras, drifblim, altaria, grovyle, cherrim, mismagius, blastoise, togetic, audino, jellicent, mawile, gengar, staraptor, froslass, murkrow, krookodile, blaziken, litwick, golett, porygon2, natu, and mr. mime
though i guess technically i can cross krookodile and murkrow off that list since you're back now.
seppucrow still holds a torch for you and only you, bro.
i would hate to come between that.

thats a lot of new names what did we miss out on a bunch of pokemon introductions
and hahaha sure ill take seppucrow back and giveem a yo im back
i got saddled with ponyta this go around

apparently, because there's like over 400 of them now.
the list just keeps growing.
she will be overjoyed, i'm sure.

better than over 9000 or something like that
now for the hard part
where are you

goldenrod city.
rose, jade, vriska, tavros, and i are staying at the other house for now.
we can come and get you though because fly is basically the best move in existence.
in fact, rose will probably insist on that since gamzee just got back too.
and he's kind of nuts this time around.

yeah about that you might want to hurry
hes sort of following me
yeah hes nuts and really taking offense to my charming personality i cant imagine why im such an awesome dude

wonderful.
any chance your ponyta will let you ride it?
maybe you can ditch him.
because it's going to take us a while though.
we're like...three cities away and while fly is great, it's not instantaneous like it is in the games.
let me go find rose and jade and see what they want to do.

lady b might let me ride her yeah
but im only a bit smaller than she is
i can stall him as long as it takes for you to pop over

all three of us will be on our way soon.
just gotta go get the gaggle of fliers out of the pc.
just do what you can, because it's probably going to take at least 16-20 hours.
which, before you say anything, was better than how we used to have to do this meetup thing.

yeah cool i just need to figure out how to ditch him
hes getting really handsy
its getting creepy
this is what i missed when he was in hiding i am cool with him going into witness protection again

while he was hiding?
on the meteor or whatever, you mean?
why was he hiding?

because of chainsaws
held by glowing broads with an urge to settle things in a messy way

oh ok.
that means absolutely nothing to me but i can understand chainsaws.
getting cut in half might suck.
but with how he's acting now i can't really blame whoever this glowing broad is for wanting to give it a try.

he can also have nakodile if you want. john taught him how to nak b/c he is such a good friend

hahahah that's perfect. He'll take the nakker.

he really does love you, dave. promise. best bros 4 lyfe.

He loves you too, bro. Best bro. He's going to find a pokemon that will cling to your face.

yes do it.

He'll figure out the perfect name for it and send it. Then sit back and watch.

john deserves it, tbh. this is the second time he's done this. it was shuppet the first time.

jdsakjd that's beautiful

it's what dave gets for leaving him all the time :T

wow rude not like he can help it.

he knows but it's still sad and frustrating and he is the pranking master. JUST LET HIM COPE.
