Day 36 - [Action] 4TH WALL

[babel_hacker]

[For anyone checking out Fuchsia’s movie sets, or even walking around the city, you might hear a voice. Or several voices.]

Hee ho!

Hey, stop!

[When you turn to look, you would see Atsuro riding a Cerberus and chasing after a group of Jack Frosts. If you’re unlucky, you might get hit by a stray ice spells from the Fairy demons.

...And, uh, better get out of the way.]

Comments

[babel_hacker]

Really? Congrats, Wataru!

[Huh...]

What do you mean by change your fates?

[babel_hacker]

Then get on!

[Cerberus crouch down low enough for Shiraishi to climb onto his back.]

[hasavision]

Thanks.

{It's a surprisingly subdued response, all things considered.]

Well... Exactly what it sounds like, I guess. If something's wrong with your life, you can make a wish and the goddess will grant it.

[backtobasics]

[Shiraishi's a little hesitant, but he'll get on. Huh, it's not really different from riding a Pokémon.]

[babel_hacker]

[Pretty subdued, that Atsuro picks up on it.]

And there's no limit to it?

[jumyouboshi]

Hm...that would be a matter of concern. Misinformation can pose to be a problem.

[Or information withheld...it meant less choices for people, if they were less educated, or taught the wrong things. But anyway...]

But, I am more curious as to how you are faring.

[babel_hacker]

Yeah. We wouldn't be able to make an informed decision properly.

[He knows all about being on the receiving end of having information being withheld from him. Cryptic, mysterious white haired guys sure love to do that.]

Me? I got all of Johto's badges, so I'm going around Kanto right now and checking the sights.

[He get to see the world he love for himself. There's really no word that can describe his nostalgic fondness.]

[babel_hacker]

[The similarities between Pokemon and demons always got to Atsuro. It's one of the reasons why he adapted very well as a trainer.

...Being a fan of the games also helped.]

Hold on tight.

[Atsuro dig his heels into Cerberus's side, urging the beast to start running after the Jack Frosts. Woooo~]

[hasavision]

You can only make one wish. Also... Only one Traveler can get a wish at a time. But other than that, I think she could probably do anything.

[backtobasics]

[Oh, he will. Though to be perfectly honest, he's only used to traveling on a Torterra or a Venusaur so the speed...



Welp.




Might be a bit to get used to.]

[babel_hacker]

That limit's just about what I expected. If there's no limit to what she can do, then it'd be how many she can grant.

[hasavision]

Yeah... But I guess it does make sense. It's a pretty big thing, if you're making a wish that can change your destiny.

Come to think of it Wataru, a while after you went up, all those demons disappeared! But from what you were saying, it sounded like you had a different wish. What exactly happened up there?

[Oh whoops, that's right, Jozo's still here, huh? Wataru blinks a bit before looking away.]

W-well... I wanted my mom and dad to get back together again, but I couldn't just leave all of you guys to fight those things, either.

Huh-? But Wataru, that was your only wish!

[babel_hacker]

[Atsuro rode some beast and wilder demons before, as well as his Arcanine, so he's used to the speed and pacing.

Long enough that he just long since stuffed his hat into his bag, every time he went for a ride.

So anyway, one Cerberus, with two human guys riding his back, seeking out Jack Frosts.]

[backtobasics]

[Add one Ninetales running beside them. She's luckily really calm so seeing Cerberus doesn't really scare her.]

[babel_hacker]

So you actually gave up your one wish to help your friends, Wataru?

[Atsuro couldn't blame him for the decision.]

[jumyouboshi]

[Hey now, at least he doesn't run away all the time like Naoya does.]

I suppose that will occupy you for a while. That is good.

[Not everyone has teleportation like you, Alcor...]

[babel_hacker]

[Good thing too, which earn Cerberus some respect.

And hey, a Jack Frost ahead. Noticing them, it jumps and runs faster with a "Hee hooo...!".]

[babel_hacker]

[Only teleporting away in a deep thought...]

Yeah. I'm taking my time, since there's a big difference between seeing familiar places for myself instead of in video games.

[hasavision]

Kind of. But, I mean...

[It's hard to come up with a good explanation when you're already feeling kind of embarrassed.]

That world is the way it is because it came from my heart. It's... kind of complicated, but Vision is a part of me, too. So if there's problems in Vision, there's problems in my heart.

Besides... I realized that even if my parents did get back together, the next time something bad happens, I wouldn't be able to just wish that away, too. Life just doesn't work that way.

[jumyouboshi]

You are familiar with those locations through video games...?

[Well, he's heard from his time in Route that it was a sort of video game, but he's never dabbled in them much (if at all), so it was still a bit hard to believe. Still, it wasn't as if he was unused to thinking of worlds and matter in terms of data.

...Just a bit strange.]

[backtobasics]

['Hee hoo...'? That sounded like a merry cheer.]

Natsumi, try catching it.

[One Ninetales appoaching. What will you do, Jack Frost?]

[babel_hacker]

Yep! They're video games in my world, but they only cover the Kanto region with 151 Pokemon. Seeing the places for myself is very different from pixels on a screen!

[There are a number of things that can get Atsuro going. Talking about what he loves is one of them.]

[digitalorunknown]

[...Well, they were throwing attacks around, weren't they? It's instinct to be wary of anyone who claims to be keeping the peace, but that sounds reasonable enough. He nods after hesitating for a moment.

His gaze flicks down to Cerberus' face and stays there. That's the one he's most concerned about right now - the lack of introduction isn't reassuring.]

[jumyouboshi]

[It's no small wonder. Alcor can't fault his excitement.]

Indeed. Although, do you not find it odd that what is fabricated by human imagination in one world is reality in another?

[desu1 to desu2 oops]

[babel_hacker]

It is strange, but I'm not as surprised? I know there's multiple worlds out there, so why not a Pokemon one?

[The idea that his world, the lockdown, might be fiction in another world haven't occur to him.]
