falseshore[Hello again, Pokéworld. You've probably seen this face before, because it's identical to another face currently residing in the world, but it's not the same person. Said face looks slightly irritated.]
Geez, I leave for an hour and someone steals all my stuff...all my money, my clothes, my bracelet! My whole team's been replaced with the most useless bird besides a Pidgey. And my badges. I don't want to deal with Whitney again!
[He pauses his rant to run a hand through his hair, not to calm himself, but just to give him something to do with his hands while he takes a breath.]
...I've heard that people who leave...their Pokémon sometimes end up with other people. Did anyone get Nami or Spike? Pyre? Ri? I'll even take Aura if he's still around.
[He ends the feed there. He's in an inn room in Cherrygrove if anyone wants to bother him in person, but he's mostly waiting for responses from the Gear.]

Is it really you?
no subject
Date: 2014-04-11 02:13 am (UTC)Tenten! Of course it's me, who else--
[Pause.]
...No, don't answer that.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-11 03:21 am (UTC)It's been a long time. For me, anyway. I've got the Marill you named after me! I can send her back if you want. I promise I've taken really good care of her.
[video, oops]
Date: 2014-04-11 03:44 am (UTC)[video]
Date: 2014-04-11 04:39 am (UTC)Don't think this means I won't visit, though! Like I said, it's been a long time. I'm... really glad to see you again.
[And that he remembers her. That's the biggest thing.]
[video]
Date: 2014-04-14 03:49 am (UTC)[He's not saying that HE's useless against many Pokémon, even though he pretty much is.]
It still doesn't feel like long at all, to me.
[video]
Date: 2014-04-15 04:11 pm (UTC)[She's heading toward the Pokémon Center now; she'll throw in p5000 for him.]
I'll be expecting you to pay that back, by the way! [But yeah she's not that nice.]
What'd you end up with as a starter this time?
[video] Feel free not to respond since this is so late
Date: 2014-05-05 03:41 am (UTC)Whoa, wait, money too? I can't pay it back right away if it's more than a couple hundred Pokédollars, I only have a couple thousand...
[That means he'll have to get on the working and possibly breeding if it's a lot. If it's a lot.]
I started with a Torchic this time.
[And the camera's eye is being pointed at said Torchic, who has adopted a discarded pillow as a nest.]
[video]
Date: 2014-05-05 04:51 pm (UTC)[Besides, this girl is swimming in cash. She's fine.]
Torchic, huh? [Thaaaaat was Sasuke's starter. Her lips twitch a second before she smiles.] I have one of what those evolve into. Momo left her to me. D'you remember her? Momo Hinamori?
[video]
Date: 2014-05-10 05:59 am (UTC)[Sort of true.]
Momo Hinamori...?
[Does he know her? The name doesn't sound very familiar, and he shakes his head after thinking about it for a few seconds.]
No idea who that is. What's it evolve into?
[And is it a boy so he can breed more firebird babies?][video]
Date: 2014-05-18 04:14 pm (UTC)Anyway, Torchic evolves into Combusken, then Blaziken. Once it evolves into Combusken, they're Fire/Fighting, which is a pretty good combo.

Date: 2014-04-14 03:42 am (UTC)So uh, how are you doing Sora?
no subject
Date: 2014-04-14 03:49 am (UTC)Well recently we celebrated Riku's birthday. Kairi's back, but tiny. There was this bomb thing in Olivine too.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-14 03:52 am (UTC)And Kairi is...?
[There's a slight look of confusion on his face. The name sounds familiar, but he can't put a face to it exactly.]
no subject
Date: 2014-04-14 01:42 pm (UTC)[ eh heh heh. ]
Kairi is the other friend of ours from the island. Red hair. Violet eyes?
no subject
Date: 2014-04-15 06:53 am (UTC)[On second thought, he might accidentally poison Riku. Hmm...]
Red hair...oh, I think I know her, yeah.
[She's the one who looks like Naminé, if he remembers correctly.]
no subject
Date: 2014-04-17 01:47 pm (UTC)You think you know her?
[video]
Date: 2014-04-10 11:08 am (UTC)[...well, he has but it was the other kid with your face.]
So sorry about your belongings though.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-11 02:32 am (UTC)[Hold on a minute while he checks the calendar. He doesn't turn off the video to do this, so Dist can see him frowning at the display.]
I was gone for six months? Geez...how's that even work?
no subject
Date: 2014-04-11 04:04 am (UTC)The same way people can spend years in their world via a week-long coma. In other words, we haven't the faintest idea yet. This world doesn't make any sense for many reasons, and that is one of them.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-14 04:15 am (UTC)Huh. Well, that sucks. Maybe someone'll figure it out eventually.
Oh, hey...I still need to visit you. I forgot when I was here last time.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-16 03:56 am (UTC)[Though his hopes aren't that high, what with the little headway the non-natives have made in several years. But maybe...]
Ah, I wouldn't mind that. But you're going to have to remind me why you intended to visit me. You'll have to forgive me; it has been six months, after all.
no subject
Date: 2014-05-05 01:37 am (UTC)[But he has to think for a second why he did intend to visit.]
Because I wanted to see the kind of work you do. I thought I told you...or maybe I forgot to say anything at all last time we talked. I dunno.
no subject
Date: 2014-05-05 01:59 am (UTC)I don't believe you ever mentioned wanting to see my work, but that doesn't matter. It's a pleasant surprise to find out you're so interested in what I do.
[Yes, thank you for that small ego stroke. He appreciates it.
There's a very obvious reason why he reacted with surprise at first though. It poses a problem because all of Dist's work is in the Rocket base, and he definitely doesn't intend to invite more non-Rockets into the base just so he can show off.
But he'll figure something out. There's plenty of ways to get around this without actually refusing Evan's request.]
I don't see why you couldn't come take a peek at my latest creations. But do tell, what in particular are you hoping to see?
no subject
Date: 2014-05-05 03:14 am (UTC)[Well, it's good to know that it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to stroke Dist's ego. He'll keep that in mind for the future.]
I think you said something about robots. Like you make them or something. I'm interested in seeing one that isn't a Pokémon of some kind.
no subject
Date: 2014-05-05 03:26 am (UTC)Ah! So you were listening. Excellent. [...of course he was, Dist.] You happen to be in luck then, because I am currently working on a new robot design. As it is my first robot designed with this world's resources, I've had to make some rather large alterations, but I believe it should be able to function in a similar way to my world.
no subject
Date: 2014-05-06 03:34 am (UTC)How would it function in your world?
no subject
Date: 2014-05-06 03:55 am (UTC)With fonon technology. Fonons are elemental particles that make up everything in my world, and are split into seven elements. Fire, electricity, water...all of it is run on fonons. Fonists can manipulate fonons for a variety of things, including combat. By that description, the Pokemon in this world emulate what fonists do in my world.
That said, fonon technology utilizes fonons to perform everyday actions that you would expect most machines to do. In this world, I've had to harness other resources in order to get around the absence of elemental manipulation.
Did any of that click?
[Because he certainly doesn't intend to repeat himself.]
[Video]
Date: 2014-04-10 05:08 pm (UTC)Well hey, if you don't want your little birdy, I'll take it off your hands for you.
[Oh, also, pidgey is precious.]
Re: [Video]
Date: 2014-04-11 02:39 am (UTC)It is for this reason that whenever he breeds them, they are always free.]
I never said I didn't want her, just that she was useless. She's afraid of other Pokémon and refuses to fight them.
[Video]
Date: 2014-04-11 05:43 pm (UTC)Then stop whining and figure out how to make her do it, genius, or let a real man take over. Everyone knows all a chick really needs is a little sweet talking, baby~
No wonder she doesn't want to do anything for you.
[Video]
Date: 2014-04-14 03:55 am (UTC)I don't think 'sweet talking' is gonna work.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-11 03:07 am (UTC)[She wouldn't want her precious pokemon to be stolen either.]

Date: 2014-04-14 03:56 am (UTC)I don't care about a lot of them, mostly I just want the Noctowl back, she was my favorite.
no subject
Date: 2014-04-11 04:41 am (UTC)[Heh, heh, heh...
So, hi, clone. Riku's over here grinning like a Cheshire Cat, though after a second, he turns his camera onto a certain Rapidash dozing in the corner.]
I got a couple of your Pokémon. Spike, Pyre, Spectre, Nami, Aura, Sora, Obito, and Fira. Want me to send them your way?
no subject
Date: 2014-04-14 04:02 am (UTC)Haha, very funny. I don't know if I'll even be able to get into her gym again, if I'm recognized. Last I checked I was banned from th--
[He cuts himself off when he notices the Rapidash. Blue and white, like the one he used to have...]
You...you actually have them?! You have them? Yes, I would like them back...
no subject
Date: 2014-04-15 10:42 pm (UTC)[He shrugs, taking a quick glance at Pyre.]
Should make regaining the badges easier, at any rate.

Date: 2014-04-11 04:41 am (UTC)...Since when do you have a pidgey? Your pokemon are all huge.
[video]
Date: 2014-04-14 04:05 am (UTC)[...]
And what are you talking about, most of my Pokémon weren't that big.
