Day 42 - [Video] | [Action] at Mt. Moon, 4TH WALL

[Instead of a brightly lit room or the great outdoors, Atsuro seems to be inside a cave. He tug his hat down a little, almost protectively.]

So, either I’m in Mt. Mortar or Mt. Moon. If anyone asks, I have no idea how I get here from Pallet. [Beside the usual suspects. “The world did it” or “a Pokémon did it”.] Also, did anyone else got their supplies changed? I got more Potions than I remember since I did an inventory check. Calciums, too. Which I might give away since I'm pretty sure my team would get tired of having a lot of vitamins.

[He’s walking along with Asterisk out. The Clefairy seems to be at home, walking with confidence. Until they accidentally kicked a pebble.

And suddenly, Zubat swarm. Oh shi--]

Bebacklaterguys!

[Clicks. Gotta deal with these Zubats. Or run away because of the sheer numbers…!]

[Did you call for help? Cause here's Kazuya facing the Zubat swarm. Wow how cool, he must have some kind of a plan-]

I think it's time to get out, Atsuro.

[Yeah, let's run, Atsuro.]

Kaz--?

[Normally, Atsuro would be very happy to see his best friend again and would ask the Pokemon world or the PokeGods to let him stay longer than last time.

But alas, they're still being chased by goddamn Zubats.]

Yeah, let's!

[Well, Asterisk vastly outleveled the Zubats, but this is too many Zubats and it's a valid reason to run away.

AWAY THEY GO...!]

[Save yourselves first, ask things later. That's the only wise decision right now.

Though he does have a Jack Frost following him who now keeps shooting ice at the Zubats (while going "hee ho"). Just to slow them down and all. Poor dude wasn't given any Pokémon.]

[Yep, at least until they lose the Zubats.

...Speaking of which, he should probably order Asterisk to attack. The huge level gap should make up for his command.]

Asterisk, Magical Leaf go!

[That's a good timing, as Jack Frost is soon out of MP. Too many opponents, hee ho! He disappears back into Kazuya's COMP.

Kaz is curious about the attack, so he looks over his shoulder to see what's this about. He had suspected these aren't quite the demons they know, but this really is different isn't it.]

[Due to the sheer level gap between Asterisk and the local area's Pokemon, the storm of Magical Leaves knocked out most of the swarm.

The numbers are more manageable now.]

Okay, time to make our getaway!

[Rummaging through his bag. Where are the Repels? Atsuro pull out a spray bottle and toss it over Kazuya.]

Start spraying!

[ ...?

Well, since Atsuro told him to do it, here he goes.

And then a nearby Zubat started flying to another direction with a ">8(" face.]

[Suck on it, Zubat. Between Asterisk and the Repel, the remaining Zubats are pretty much dispelled.

Asterisk quickly turns around and run over towards Atsuro. He zips up his bag and bends down to give her a head pat.]

You did great as always, Asterisk. I'll treat you once we're out.

[Yaaaaaay.

Atsuro looks up at Kazuya. Now the chase is over, the fact that it's his best friend here is finally sinking in. He gives him a grin.]

And thanks for the help as well, Kazuya!

[ Holy crap. Don't mind the staring ]

Are you okay?

[Oh, right, his 'Gear is still recording. Hope Yukio doesn't mind seeing the screen moves, because Atsuro's holding onto it and running.]

Still okay! Just gotta lose them!

[ No... no worries about that. ]

I guess some repels sound good right about now, huh?

Yeah! Just need some space and time to grab a bottle from my bag.

[Or until the Zubats get sick of chasing him and Asterisk.]

[ Okay, he'll stop stating the obvious now. ]

How'd you get there anyway? Did you just wake up in the middle of the mountain?

Pretty much! I assume someone or something just teleported me. One moment I was in Pallet and then I'm here the next.

[If all else fails, it's either a Pokemon or this world's fault.]

The first conclusion I drew was that it was probably an Abra's fault. Now that it seems to be happening to everyone, I'm not so sure.

Since everyone were all from different cities, I'd think it's something related to the world.

[Right, a brief pause so he can order Asterisk to attack.]

Or it could be a legendary, since their powers are on a whole different level from our Pokemon.

That's what I was thinking but we probably need to figure out if that's even possible.

[ Mentally adding research on legendary pokemon to To Do list. ]

I appreciate the insight but you're probably caught up with getting of there right now, aren't you?

Yeah, I am!

[Ouch, that's some screech from those Zubats.]

I guess I should get this done and maybe I'll get back to you later.

Right.

[ Here's an awkward smile though you can't see it, Atsuro. ]

If you find anything out about what's going on, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

[Judging from the screen, it seems like Atsuro went around a corner.]

Got it! I'll call you later if I do.

How many did you even attract?

Enough for a decent swarm!

You might want to pick up the pace, then. I think I hear more of them...

[There's that sound of shriiiiiiiieks.]

I hear you, I hear you...!

[Crap. Time to think fast! And try to stay calm while the friend of that other you runs about...]

Are Zubats anything like actual bats?

They're pretty similiar, just as Pokemon.

[Unless Souji knows bats that can use techniques like Pokemon.]

Then can't you just draw them away with a bright light?

[Squint. It is a tad dark in there, as far as the video feed is telling him...]

I think I have a light in my bag, unless it's missing. Otherwise, it's just this Gear as a light source for now!

Check for it, quick. I don't think we'd want more of them trailing...

I'll try!

[After a moment, Souji would hear Atsuro ordering Asterisk for an attack, just after a bunch of Zubats screeching at them, and then a pause.]

[Well, that sure is a thing...not that he can see any of it clearly enough, but it sounds intense already.

But then there's the pause.]

Is everything alright?

[Atsuro finally appears on the screen.]

Yeah, everything's fine. I think they won't bother us for a while.

[At least those swarm of Zubats.]
