babel_hacker | Day 38 - [Video] | [Action] at Pewter & Route 3

[So, the museum’s closed due to a robbery. Which sucks a lot, so Atsuro suddenly find himself with some more free time than he originally planned.

He already trained his current team, he doesn’t need to go in and work right now... Well, he could start up his next programming project, but his Pokemon will get bored while he’s working.

But then, he get an idea. An idea he received while walking around the stores in Pewter, which is still pretty decent but not as huge as Celadon or Goldenrod, and saw something. At that time, he had Euler out and got begged to buy his Lucario something. He did made a promise, but it gave birth to an idea.

Something he’s been meaning to do and hey, he’s kinda bored now.

He quickly head to the Pokemon Centre, going over toward the PC and made a quick roster change...]

Alright, let’s head outside of town!

[VIDEO]
[The screen shows Atsuro in Route 3, at a fair distance from Pewter’s entrance. His back is facing against the PokeGear and judging from the angle, as well as how high up from the ground the video feed is broadcasting on, one of his Pokemon is filming it right now.

He’s looking at his Golurk, tall and silent. Well, it would be tall but it’s crouching down a little and bend forward. Sitting on the giant Pokemon’s back is a Lucario, with a pair of goggles on his head and a red scarf around his neck. He look pretty determined and focused.]

This mission will be tough, Pilot Euler. But we trust you to handle it.

[Of course Euler can handle it!]

Right. Get ready for launch!

[Euler pulls down his goggles over his eyes, as the Golurk seems to crouch lower, as if it’s about to jump...?!]

Pilot Euler, Unit 01, fight for our future! GO!

[Just as Atsuro points to the sky, Unit 01 spring up into that jump. Its legs retract into its waste, as it shifted over into flying mode. Euler is holding tightly onto him, as they flies off into the sky and combat...well, they’re just going to fly around in their immersion.

This is Atsuro Kihara, being a dorky young adult and proud of it.]

...If it weren't for the brain damage part, that sounds pretty awesome! Wouldn't it make battles a bit easy to win?

Hehehe. It turns out that being prescient doesn't mean a lot if your opponent is just that much better than you.

Hahah, yep! And probably faster as well, in case their reaction time isn't quick enough.

That too. They keep blaming their suits for that one, for some reason.

Some people just want to blame the tool, not the user.

And some people end up dead. Perhaps we should look for links between them.

Perhaps we should. Maybe suggest that as a possibility the next time you see them?

...Well, I guess I could. They do bring dead people here...

In that case, you just hope you're lucky - or unlucky, I guess - for this place to bring them over.

...I can think of dozens of people I'd rather see, to be honest.

I wouldn't doubt that. Friends?

All sorts of people. Heck, I think I'd rather see my dentist.

If your dentist do come here, they might even be the first non-native dentist.

[He didn't know if there's other dentists before, among all the students, children and adults in different occupations.]

...Probably. But would they even be allowed to do their work, or would they have to stock shelves like the rest of us?

[He's never seen the locals care about previous work experience before.

I'm not too sure. You'd normally need certificates to show your qualifications, but I dunno if they would just hire anyone for dentistry.

[Because while most of the work? Can be learned from training. Things like working on teeth? Uh...]

They'd probably stock shelves until they get the qualifications again, I guess.

...Seen any colleges or universities where they could get those qualifications around? The only professors we hear about work on Pokémon, not teeth.

[Unless they're Pokémon teeth.]

No. I expected the bigger cities like Goldenrod or Celadon to have them, but I didn't see any places for higher education. [The only schools he know of are the Pokemon academies for trainers.] So I wonder how people earn their qualifications. Just work at it and prove it to the appropriate people?

[For anything else, he can assume either apprenticeships or moving up the ranks via hard work.

Or bribery, that too.]

...Or maybe they don't need any qualifications, as long as they have the right connections. They join an existing office or they buy the equipment, and then they're good to go.

There's that. If the current employer and their coworkers are fine with them joining, as well as avoiding trouble, I doubt anyone would ask too much question.

[Isn't that how some of the businesses got started by some of them here, anyway?]

Until unpleasant yet easily avoidable accidents happen, of course.

[Unpleasant yet easily avoidable accidents always happen.]

Those kind of accidentals always happen, and leave you with a strong mark on your records.

[Complete with people never forgetting it.]

And then they lead to investigations, especially if your credentials are suspect.

And your future employments will be harder to get. If they keep track of those things very closely.

...They don't keep track of people from other worlds closely. Why would they care about previous work history?

...Just for the odd chance of checking for previous misconduct?

[Yeah, okay. That's a bit much to hope for.]
