open with green!

[givespoisonoak]

Who: Green and anyone!
What: Continuation of welcome threads, checking out his new housing, and/or a deep realization of crap-I'm-stuck-here-aren't-I
Where: Orlea
When: March 6th

[It's only been a few days but that's still a few days too many. As much as he hates to admit it, Green might just have to accept being stuck in who-knows-where for a bit longer than expected. Fortunately he was planning on ditching his Gym for yet another vacation anyway, so it's close enough. Two weeks tops and then he's totally out of this place.

And if he's going to stay here, he's going to be comfortable. It appears he's found most of his team, with five Pokeballs hanging from his belt (one empty as Eevee walks beside him); now he just wants a bigger place to stay in. Seriously, he deserves a nice pad with a big balcony and a view; don't these people know who he is? Clearly the best course of action at the moment is to mutter to himself in the middle of the street as he stomps along. Sorry if he bumps into you.]

Place is full of weirdos...

It's a Pokemon called Machamp, you know - wait, you don't know. It's, er- [How do you explain an entire creature group/species to someone? He holds up the brown fox as an example.] They're living things that we raise and use for battles. This one's called Eevee. Makes sense?

[ruleofschool]

[He squints some more at Eevee.]

I'm still having trouble understanding exactly what a "Pokemon" is. Basically, they're the same, but different? That would make spotting them rather difficult, wouldn't it?

[givespoisonoak]

[Man it's weird explaining this. Green can't imagine not growing up without Pokemon fully integrated everywhere. Seriously, how did you people live.]

Nah, they all look different. Here. [Green rummages through his many pockets until he pulls out a red metal pocketbook, just small enough to fit in his palm. One push of a button and it flips open with a screen lighting up and displaying images of more strange creatures. Green mini dinosaurs, bats with giant fangs, little yellow rodents with red cheeks. Feel educated yet?] This is what they look like. You've seriously never seen them before? Or heard of them?

[ruleofschool]

[If only he could actually see them. He tries to make them out as best as he can, though, leaning very close to the screen. But the images are so small... But at any rate, he shakes his head.]

Are they that common? I must admit that I'm a bit concerned, myself, not being aware of such a species. Are they native to a particular region?

[givespoisonoak]

[Yeah, probably not helpful without those contacts. Green's not sure why he bothered to show images on a tiny screen, but there's really no other way to explain it.]

Well yeah, they're common. They're all over where I come from. You don't have anything like these?

[ruleofschool]

It's hard to compare the specific details with my lack of vision, but I know for certain that I have never come across the name before. Where is it that you come from?

[givespoisonoak]

It's called Kanto. Guess that doesn't ring a bell though.

[ruleofschool]

Kanto? Of course I know it. But— There's no way I could have missed the abundance of such a species in an area like that... Is there?

[givespoisonoak]

But if you know it, then how-

[This is freaky. There's no way someone can know about Kanto and not know about Pokemon. Unless...this other Kanto is...from another world?!

Nah, that'd just be silly.] Must be some other Kanto you're thinking of.

[ruleofschool]

Some other Kanto? That is possible. I'm referring to the region in Japan.

[givespoisonoak]

Yeah, sure. [Sounds like this Japan region is a far ways away from the Kanto he knows and sadly Pokemon-less. Poor kid.] And what region are you from?

[ruleofschool]

[Insert region of some sort here because I'm not sure if canon ever mentions it!!]

It's also in Japan. What about you?
