001〚✖〛video / action for new bark town

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?

Okay. Where to start...? Well, for starters, you're in the world of Pokemon. The region we're currently in is called Johto and the Pokemon you received is your starter and partner. He, she, or it will be your primary means of protection and advancement in this world, regardless of whether or not you're a trainer or a breeder. At least, until you catch some new Pokemon or purchase some eggs from a breeder or the Breeding Center.

Are you following me so far?

N... No, I don't think there are. And I've been all over and seen plenty of movies that could have used them...

Well, if you're going by that standard, then I suppose nearly anything would be an improvement...

If you broadcast it to as many people as possible and call it a 'blog', then yes, to my understanding.

[Is he talking about the cut-off comment about Midgard? That's all Harry can think of, unless this kid's just a clinical paranoiac.]

.....
So. "Midgardian video game", huh?

I get it, though it does seem a bit dumb. You can't be the only one causing mischief. Even if you do preside over.

Of course. And since it sounds as though you hardly have any pressing matters to see to back home, I imagine you'll rather enjoy yourself here.

Okay. I mentioned Pokemon are your means of advancement in this world. There are eight gyms in Johto and eight gyms in the newly opened Kanto region for a total of sixteen gyms in all. Trainers, breeders -- anyone who has Pokemon can go to these gyms and challenge the leaders for the coveted badges. If you beat the gym leaders, you also get a special TM and HM with moves you can't get anywhere else and often a good bit of money. Some of these moves, like Fly and Surf, really come in handy.

You can also buy TMs at the Goldenrod Department Store, but not the same ones you get from beating the gym leaders. It's incentive, I suppose.

If you've got this, I'll explain the Gear in detail and also how to catch Pokemon, if you don't already know that.

Human logic.

[Said with a big, fond grin that's only half-sarcastic.]

From what I've gathered, it's at least a pretty good representation of one. They managed to get the bizarre pseudo-logic down pat, if nothing else.

Pretty sure it's not an actual video game. Unless someone managed to seriously magic-proof computers like no one before.

The internet? [He was never told about that. He says it with a smile though, in the 'tell me more about this and I'll always listen to you forever' way... if that's even noticeable to anyone but creepy otherpeople.]
