001 [Video + Action for around 200ft outside of New Bark, down Route 29]

[saeyaka]

[First thing to broadcast over the feed is the sharp clatter of the Gear skittering across the ground, nearly drowning out the sound of a person hitting the ground soon after and the rushed stop of hoof-beats

[Oh, that jacket looks pretty familiar. Shiraishi's never officially met Rokkaku, but he remembers seeing this at the Nationals at some point. Definitely from their world.

Might as well say something even if he doesn't remember names.]

There are quite a few people around here who know how to ride a Pokémon, so I'm sure someone will offer you their help. However, they might be a bit far away from you right now, if you're near New Bark Town. [Yeah, the sceneries look really familiar.]

[saeyaka]

[On that note, you look familiar yourself. But it'll still take a moment for Saeki to remember a name. No matter!]

That's probably true, if this place is like the games. But it shouldn't be too hard to figure out how with a tip or two until then, right?

[flawlesspoison]

This place is a lot like the games, you got that right. Except the time to travel distances has been made more realistic. [He nods.] And that's true.

All I can say is that you should first bond with the Pokémon as well as you can.

[saeyaka]

The world would be very crowded together if you could travel between towns in a few minutes, I think this sounds better.

[A brief pause here.]

I'll remember that. Bonding with them is part of what makes the journey worthwhile, isn't it?

[video]

[restardom]

Well, for starters, you might want to get yourself a helmet.

[ completely straight-faced, but there's definite amusement in her eyes. ]

[video]

[saeyaka]

[She may be straight faced, but he can't hold back a chuckle.]

You think so? I hope I don't fall so much that I need one.

[video]

[restardom]

It'll prepare you for when your horse suddenly gets three times bigger and ten times fast--

[ and if she knows she's being talked about, there's abruptly a unicorn head in the feed, nudging the screen curiously and prompting a laugh. ]

Rosie, hey, I was leading up to that!

[video]

[saeyaka]

[His smile widens somewhat at the sight.]

A... Rapidash, right? When we get to that, I think it'll be fun.

[And his Ponyta's nudged her head into the feed now, with a whinny of greeting to the Rapidash on the screen.]

[video]

[usedhadokyuu]

[Oh somebody from Rokkaku this made his day so much better.]

I've heard it's more of a practice thing.

[video]

[saeyaka]

[Seeing someone from Seigaku did the same on his end. Not that Pokémon isn't already kinda awesome...]

If it's just practice, then I should be all right.

[But there's a better topic to be talked about.]

It's nice to see a familiar face.

[video]

[usedhadokyuu]

It is.

Buchou and Ryoma are here too, if you need anybody else from Seigaku to talk to. All of Rikkaidai and most of Hyotei are here too. [A slight pause. He knows he's forgetting a team.]

[video]

[saeyaka]

It sounds like a lot of us are being brought here. [He may be slightly disappointed that his team isn't here...but the happiness that some of his other friends are here has mostly overwhelmed that feeling.]

Are you all in the same place?

Video--Possibly Action

[tower_trapped]

Oh, it doesn't seem like it would be that hard!

Video--Action when you want it <3

[saeyaka]

If I see you in person, I'm sure she wont mind letting you try.

[An agreeable whinny from his Ponyta follows his offer almost immediately.]

Video--Huzzah! <3

[tower_trapped]

Really?!

[She seems so excited. Not only to ride a horse, but to see someone that's not on a screen.]

Well, where are you?

Video--<3!

[saeyaka]

[Her excitement is well worth the offer, too.]

Not very far outside of New Bark town. I can still see the buildings, a little.

( video )

[northerncrosses]

[ sorry. that's a giggle over there. ]

Maybe it'll help if the Pokémon doesn't sound it's having fun throwing you off.

( video )

[saeyaka]

[Oh don't worry he doesn't mind! He laughed too, after all.]

Maybe I should work on that first then. But I hope she was just playing.

[He doesn't want to fall so very often...not really.]

( video )

[northerncrosses]

Well, she's not setting you on fire yet, right?

( video )

[saeyaka]

That's true. It was nice to find out that she wasn't going to. [He was careful about it, he didn't particularly want to burn.]
