[Fourth Wall] [Action / Video]

[imthe_shit]

[ Snake is still in Goldenrod, thankfully, but he's staring at a rather enormous Pokemon before him. His 'Dex told him what it was, but he can't help but feel... nostalgic. ]





Metal Gear...!?

Metagross.


...


[Oh, it just spoke.]

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

But they always show up by the fountain, and there aren't ever any bright flashes or anything.

And what partners? Is this another thing you never told me about?

[fujigglephysics]

Ohhh. I've never heard of a Meet...Metagaross before. What does it do?

[Still swinging her legs and not really minding the movement at all.]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... I wish I could tell you.

[ stomp stomp stomp stomp ]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... What are you talking about? What fountain?

My partners... My Pokemon team.

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

[Wait a minute, he didn't know about the fountain? He was old? He was talking about something she didn't really get? Well, maybe the last one was normal, but the first two definitely pointed to several things.]

You... don't remember anything, do you? When did this happen?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... I don't remember a fountain, and the last time I saw you, you were with RATPT01.

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

RATPT01? Never heard of them.

Last time I saw you, you were... working for the police. Yeah.

["Last time I saw you, I had just dumped you." sounded pretty tactless, even for her.]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... Working for the police?

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

You just joined, or at least, you just told me.

[This isn't really a subject she wants to talk about, especially if it would jog his memory. For now, she had to face the facts, her surroundings were entirely unfamiliar, and nothing either of them said made any sense to each-other.]

Dave... what city is this?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

This is Goldenrod. It's in the Johto region.

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

What was that? I was distracted by your ass.

Johto? Goldenrod? Never heard of it. Are you sure this isn't just some crazy dream?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

If it's a dream, then I've been asleep for over four months.

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

Four months? You're kidding, right? I mean, there's no way any of this can be real.

[She points to the bird riding a strange robot monster, followed by the rectangular... presence. She's seen strange, but this crosses yet another line.]

I'm taking that to mean you wanted Snake

[formerfoxhound.livejournal.com]

[Incoming time paradox is looking just as confused at that Metagross. Well, probably more confused. Pokemon? What are those?]

...what the hell?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that crossed my mind, too. But if you get killed by one of these, you die for real.

A man was poisoned here a while ago... He's lucky he survived.

who else would i call SOLIDDDO

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... [He recognizes that voice. That was his voice. Snake turns, staring... Octo-camo? Can't be; camo didn't change your voice. Just your appearance. Sure, he's met people from the past here, but... He didn't think it was possible to meet yourself.]

What...?

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

So you've got a bunch of deadly creatures running around, and people are okay with this?

[She gestures to a random NPC lady walking a Snubbull.]

They're keeping these monsters as pets!

IDK MAN chat conversations are disjointed.

[formerfoxhound.livejournal.com]

[Sorry, old man, he's sort of distracted by the suspiciously Metal-Gear-like monster over there. He reaches instinctively for a weapon, only to find himself unarmed.]

[He growls, low and frustrated, before looking sharply over at his older counterpart. If he's fazed by the similarities, he doesn't let it show just yet.]

Want to tell me just what's going on here?

PINGAS

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... [ Snake can't help but stare. He feels his blood run cold, like he's staring at a ghost. And then, overwhelming sadness fills his heart. He can't explain why, but figures it's due to seeing this man before him... He'll never be that young again. ]

Hn... [ He looks back at the Metagross, and frowns. ] That's a Pokemon, an animal from this world... I'm not sure how it got here though, I've never seen it in this city before...

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Meryl, I trained Wolf Dogs back when I lived in Alaska. Those dogs could kill you, too.

Things work differently here than they do in our own world.

8T

[formerfoxhound.livejournal.com]

An animal? It's alive?

[Sounds impossible. Which doesn't seem to mean much anymore. He watches the Pokemon and the older man with equal distrust. Neither of them seemed to be making any threatening moves just yet, at least.]

Where the hell is here?

<3

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... This is Goldenrod, a city in the Johto Region. It's fine if you don't know where the hell that is, it's another world or something. [ Takes out a cigarette. ]

[thoserookieeyes.livejournal.com]

Wolf dogs are easy to tame, and they don't cause earthquakes.

[Though really, you think she'd be able to just look in the eyes of a Pokemon she doesn't like. It must not work like that here.]

What's different about this world?

[She's obviously had a similar discussion before.]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Catching and training Pokemon is the norm here. People keep them as pets, or have them as battling partners... Trainers battle each other using their Pokemon. I'd rather fight my own battles, but they're a bit more durable when it comes to catching on fire than a human is.
