[torrentofbits]

Hello, good people of Johto!

[A black-haired boy, no older than 13, gives a short wave at the screen.]

While suddenly being trapped in a Midgardian video game itself warrants plenty of questions, which I'm sure will get answered in time--

[He gets interrupted by a loud] Bliiiitz!

Shush, you. [He returns his attention to the screen.] Like I was going to say before my new friend here interrupted me, I have a far more important question. Do these devices have access to the Internet?

[White-hair boy around 13 waves back. That was certainly the most interesting question he's heard in a while.]

Nope, not at all.

[Video]

[torrentofbits]

[He must not have heard very interesting questions then.]

Well, that's terribly disappointing. How am I supposed to watch films now?

[killer_sweets]

[They're mostly along the lines of: where am I, what is this creature, who his this crazy lady pretending to be my mom? It gets old is all.]

Well they do have TV here, but anything that on always involves pokémon.

The 'internet'?

Video

[torrentofbits]

It is a vast series of tubes! [Well that's how he heard someone explain it.] People all over Midgard access it and share information or pictorially chronicle the lives of their cats. It's highly entertaining.

If I had access to the Internet, I'd be able to look it up on Wikipedia... or show you.

Midgardian video game? Internet? [ Just what in the world...? ]

I don't think the Gear has access to 'the Internet'. What is that? And this... you're saying we're in a video game?

[video]

[torrentofbits]

I'm going to be getting that question a lot, aren't I?

And perhaps. You don't know of it? The monsters of the pocket are known worldwide.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[Cobra Commander doesn't usually bother with this sort of thing for nonRockets, but he's never heard anyone ask something like that before.]

The what? That computer thing? They have computers here, but I have no idea if they have that or not! I can't see how the PokeGear would even connect to anything like that since it doesn't have a phone cord! Or anywhere to put one!

[Everyone still uses telephone modems right?]

[Audio]

[torrentofbits]

[That is far too old school for Loki to know.]

... I had access to the Internet on my Stark phone and I didn't need to use a cord.

[tensai]

No, which is a huuuge bummer!

The Gear's network's more of a BBS than actual internet though. So it's not the same.

[torrentofbits]

A pity. They don't know what they're missing!

No, it does not seem the same.

[usedquack]

What's the internet?

[Video]

[torrentofbits]

This is the third time I've been asked this. What sort of sad, deprived realms do you hail from?

[he may be trying to cover for the fact that he doesn't really know how to explain it.]

[video]

[fathersbeloved]

Internet? I haven't seen that in the map. It is a good thing you can ask the people in the network, though. All of them are truly helpful!

[video]

[torrentofbits]

Of course not! The Internet is a mystical realm. It cannot be seen on any ordinary maps.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Access to th-- well, I mean, more or less, yeah.

But if you're expecting it to be the same internet as whatever you had back home, you're probably gonna be disappointed.

[Video]

[torrentofbits]

So the best parts of the Internet are missing?

[video]

[combat_butler]

No internet, but we do have computers here.

... and video games. Which is kind of Inception level of crazy if you think about playing a game within a game and all...

[video]

[torrentofbits]

Is it Pokëmon games within a Pokémon game? If so, consider my mind blown. Or entertained.

video; but she's probably sitting like ten feet away

[fuwa_fuwa]

Oh, the internet would be great! Maybe we can email everyone back home!

video;

[torrentofbits]

[he will use his phone despite being right there like a true teenager of the 21st century]

Unfortunately, there is no access.

Besides, I'm not entirely positive that an e-mail would be able to travel between realms with the magic of the Internet alone.

[used_fireblast]

Midgardi-?

[Interesting way of putting it, to say the least. Sounds like another old-world magical type's been sucked into Johto, to Harry. Can't say he's ever heard of anyone from the Nevernever asking about the internet, though.]

[Except for the vampire who tried selling him on eBay, but that doesn't count.]

No, they don't have the internet. Not the same as back home, anyway. They just seem to connect to each other.

[video]

[torrentofbits]

[He's a cool old-world magical type, thank you very much.]

So I've heard. Doesn't anyone listen to anyone else's conversations?

[Video] I never saw this post. :C i can't help but tag it though

[pianokeys]

[A tall, happy-looking man waves back, grinning.]

Hey there.~

'See you're familiar with Johto?

[Video] no worries. <3

[torrentofbits]

Somewhat! I heard about it on the Internet. Well, that and I paid attention.
