1st rebuttal; video (action for cherrygrove)

[ In all honesty, Naegi wasn't all too concerned about going home. Mainly because, well, what sane person would actually want to go back to that hellhole of a school? As weird as it was to be whisked away to a magical land of Pokémon and constant background music, it was vastly preferred to death and despair. He did have his worries, though; he still had no idea what had happened to his family and he hadn't seen hide nor hair of the other students still trapped inside Hope's Peak. Why had he ended up here but not the others?

Celes had talked about adapting, and... well, that seemed like the best course of action for the time being. Adapt to this new world and set out on a journey. The latter was actually easier said than done because he isn't used to a) having to sleep outside and b) having to walk for three days and a half from New Bark to Cherrygrove. His feet were sore and he's gotten himself some bruises from tripping and he felt more out of shape than ever before. Thank god he could rest up in the small town before continuing onward. ]


( action; around noon )

[ Near the outskirts of the town, Naegi can be found battling the local wildlife. Right now he's trying to train his Togepi but it doesn't seem to go too well. ]

Use-- [ The Togepi doesn't let him finish the sentence and immediately starts wagging its arms back and forth to play Metronome roulette. When it stops, everything seems to be okay for a few short seconds before it begins to glow with a bright light followed by an ear-splitting explosion. ]

( video; )

Good afternoon, everyone! I'm Makoto Naegi, a Pokémon Breeder. I just arrived the other day so I don't actually have much to breed yet, and I haven't finished reading the guide... Um, but that's not what I'm posting this for. I'd like some help regarding my Togepi. [ He adjusts the camera, and it pans out to show a Togepi resting comfortably in his lap. Naegi is stroking its head gently as he continues to speak. ]

You see, she knows this move called Metronome. But almost every time she uses the move, she seems to end up hurting herself; one time it turned into Double-Edge and after that, she used a move that made her faint... but nothing else happened. I'm not sure why. [ The move he's referring to would be Healing Wish, but the Sentret he had sent out in Togepi's place had already been at full health. Generation IV moves, how do they work? ]

I healed her up at the Pokémon Center afterward, but then she used Metronome and... um, she exploded and fainted again. So I'd like to hear any advice on what I should do about it. She's young and really seems to enjoy using the move, regardless of the result so I'm not sure what should be done. I don't want her to keep hurting herself, but it's also the only attacking move she has. Is there a way to control what you get at all?

[ That's all he has to say regarding this particular issue so he figures that's a good point to change the topic as there's one more thing he needs to include. ]

... Also, if anyone here is from Hope's Peak Academy, please respond as soon as possible.

[ No, wait. He shouldn't limit himself to only addressing those from the school. When he thought about it, he had some questions that someone from outside of the school might be able to answer. Maybe they knew more about that incident... ]

Um, actually, even if you've only heard of the school before, please respond.

[ The Togepi makes a chirping noise in a high-pitched, cheerful tone and Naegi picks up the PokéGear to cut the feed. ]

[Laguna comes on screen, before panning it to his Togepi - who's currently sleeping and holding a Charmander Doll.]
Metronome's a bit of a problem, isn't it! Fae here - well, he doesn't collapse that often while using it, but he still uses all sorts of strange moves. Once, he just threw some money - but I don't know where he got it!
[oh pay day.
But at that second bit...]

I haven't heard of that place, though. Was it from your world?

...It's silly when you can't even tell what the move will be!..[Spike crosses his arms. This place makes no sense!]

Maybe you can get your Togepi to train with/against your other two? Do either of the others have a healing move they can use on Togepi after?

Really? So what was your world like, then?

[ She's legitimately curious. ]

Exactly. The less explosions you have to deal with, the better, I've found.

...Also, the only cities I know sell TMs are Goldenrod and Celadon. Some of the gyms give them out too if you win, but I'm pretty sure Falkner's was Roost, which wouldn't really help...

Haven't try raising a Sentret, but Caterpie's worth the effort once it fully evolves into Butterfree. But yeah, increasing your roster's important if you want to breed more than a couple type of Pokemon.

[All the Togepis and their Metronomes.]

Yeah, they evolve at the same levels as we remember from the games. But since they're real, training them takes longer.
tearsofademon: (and some say)

[personal profile] tearsofademon 2013-04-19 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. If I remember right, it's about a week to Violet, and then from there it's another week or so to Goldenrod if you don't detour through Azalea...

That's right. Going out there, training and making sure they rest up enough, the time all adds up. More so if you juggle in other things, like working for money.

That's probably the best idea. And take lots of potions with you.

Maybe you can teach her a...T...M? [Spike's heard of them - he's not too sure of the specifics though]

Then she'll know another move, right?

It sounds like a nice place! And similar to a lot of other worlds, with just that.

Yep, it is! It can be a lot of work, but it's worth it in the end.

[It can be a great bonding experience.]

Name's Atsuro Kihara. Makoto, right?

[Don't worry, Naegi. Atsuro's casual like that blame the localisation.]

Yeah, it's okay with me.

[Usually people he don't know very well use his surname back home. That or his teachers. Or very polite people like Amane.]

Just whichever's comfortable for you.
