File 01 [Video]

[A bit of prodding and device-inspecting and very displeased grunts and mumbles finally bring Vexen's face into view. And boy does he look angry.]

Who's brilliant idea was it to have me teleported to such a place as this?! Xigbar, if you teamed up with Axel and this is another one of your pranks, I will not have it! So help me, once the Superior finds out about this...

[He takes a breath, using the additional few seconds to inspect his surroundings. His face goes from 'intrigued' to 'annoyed' to 'curious' to glaring at the device again.] And if this is not one of Xigbar's foolish shenanigans, then will someone kindly explain to me which world this is? And that... that ridiculous woman in there?

[In his moment of frustration, he accidentally drops the device. As it falls into the snow, the clunking of the backpack soon follows, and Vexen just grumbles even more.]

The nerve of them...

Honestly! She's younger than I am, how could she be my mother?! I just need to return before the Superior--

[There's a long, long moment of silence. The slow, sinking realization that he was definitely exploded finally sinks in. Once he grabs the device, he just clicks it off.]

[Explaination a go-go, from a kid who STILL has his goggles over his face! ]
This is the world of Pokemon -- it takes all our powers and abilities, traps us here, and gives us monster-like allies to fight. And... we're all trapped for now. Any other questions?

Oh you must of met the mother. Don't worry she does that to everyone, she's just insane woman is all.

Huh? You're back.

Yeah, she looks just a bit younger than you, old man.

Unfortunately it's not a prank.

[Wait. There's a pause while he tries to sort out the face and voice.]

You? I remember you!

[Only vaguely. It's been several months.]

Do you remember anything about Johto?

[... oh hey, he remembers this guy]

Yelling at the video isn't gonna help.

She's everyone's mother, somehow.

Hey, you came back!

[Time paradoxes, Vexen?]

[ And she sees him, and she's so shocked to see him that she incidentally can't help her reaction: ]

You- Vexen?

[Hey look, Vexen, it's one of your least favorite people.]

She calls herself everyone's mother, quite regardless of apparent age of the new arrivals.

Will you stop yelling--?!

...wait, Vexen?

[ Ordinarily, Valeria would be all for breaking out the video transmission in turn as is courteous, but this broadcast just so happens to rub her just slightly wrong. 'Axel'? 'The Superior'? 'Which world'? While she knows there are people who are aware of the existence of other worlds prior to their arrival in Johto, the mention of 'Axel,' which she knows to be the name of one of Xion's Pokemon, has her pausing. As if that wasn't enough, 'the Superior'? Color her curious as to any potential connection between this slightly off-putting-and-definitely-older-than-thirty man and Xion, if not a little on the protective side. ]

I trust you've been told by now, but if you haven't, you'll find returning to your world an impossibility at this time. You're in the world of Pokemon now, probably in New Bark Town. You'll find you've been stripped of any abilities and weapons you had on you before arrival and that you're expected to rely on the animal-like partner you've been given and others you will capture as your primary means of battling and protection.

[ She holds to her matter-of-fact tone as she continues to speak. ]

As the for the woman you met, she does that to everyone. Now then! [ She's given him everything he's asked for and then some. It's time to collect. ] What is your connection to Xion?

Temper, temper, Vexen. [ A familiar face appeared on the screen, one of a certain Gambler whose ties with most, if not all Organization members, were on the neutral side. He chuckled heartily at the other's broadcast, tilting his head. He chose to make little comment on the other blond's age, being in his early thirties, himself. ]

You'll be happy to know the woman's presence, though a mite strange, is benevolent. Her only purpose is a warm home from which to begin a tedious and rather annoying journey. Once you make it to Cherrygrove though, I highly suggest you pack plenty of food and extra clothing. Unless, that is, you've retained that resistance of yours to winter's frigid ways.

Strangely, the creatures in this world are not at all edible, nor are there many plants available to survive off of this time of the year.
