oops?? | oo1: enter, trainer hibiki!

[goldendays]

[Tree, tree, tree, and hey another tree! Actually, that tree looks really familiar...wait no, that tree does. Wait, wait. ALL THE TREES ACTUALLY LOOK THE SAME?? This just wasn't working out for him, first he wakes up in a small cave in some clearly and then when he tries to use his map, none of the roads look familiar at all! And all this snow isn't helping at all--heck, since when was it winter?!]

Ehhhhhhhhhh? I'm not lost, right Typhlosion? [The jerk just gives him a deadpanned look, well, as deadpanned as it could look. Take a gander at his tongue, ye fire-breathing beast!]

Geez, you're no help are you, buddy? Ah well, we'll figure it out! There's bound to be something that'll tell us where we are, we just gotta find it! [Suddenly idea! Not one that would help his situation, but it's a fun idea.] Hey, hey, bet you can't do this! [Hibiki inhales and breathes out, watching his breath come out and fade into nothingness. frost breath. oh he was such a clever boy.

Too bad Typhlosion looks unimpressed. And proceeds to show off by SHOOTING FLAMETHROWER INTO THE SKY AND SCARING THE CRAP OUT OF THE POOR BOY. (Oops, hopefully no one will notice the fire in the sky?) The attack successfully knocks Hibiki to the ground, something tumbling out of his pocket to land in the snow. Nothing on the screen was pressed, right? His finger didn't graze that voice button, right? The screen just lit up by itself, right?]

[voice]

O-oi, Typhlosion, no reason to get competitive now! If you wanted to show off your strength, you could always just carry me! [Face, meet snow. Courtesy of a giant badger. But wait, there's more. He spies the weird gadget that came out of his pocket later and holds it up to his face.] ..Eh? What's this?

Comments

[voice]

[disastergirl]

[...Hm.] Hello out there!

[Totally not trying to startle him, no sir.]

[voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

A Typhlosion, huh? Excellent choice! [Best starter ever]

action

[risingwinds]

[...Well, fire in the sky is kinda hard to miss, so pardon Ven if he bolts that way, curious and a little unnerved. But when he sees the duo behind the flames, he stops, squints, and scratches his head.]

Hey, Gold, Explotaro! Is everything okay?

[Yep, it's a fine case of identity crisis.]

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[One of those trees is not quite what it seems... which means that Rock Lee is actually practicing ninja-ing by hiding behind a camouflaged paper matching the tree bark.

Once he witnesses the flamethrower attack, however, Lee leaps out dramatically to confront the boy and his creature.]

Be careful with those flames, young man!

[goldendays]

[Oops, too late. A voice coming out of unidentified-handheld-gadget is nothing short of startling.]

H-huh?! Hello?

[Is this something like his pokegear? Wait, how did this person even contact him...Augh this is confusing! If anything, he hopes that whoever it is, they can help him figure out where he is.]

[goldendays]

[Well screw being shocked that this device just spoke to him, it recognized the greatness that is Typhlosion! Priorities, check.]

Isn't it? Typhlosion's so much cooler than the other starters, really. I keep telling Silver, but he doesn't listen--he never does cause he's a big ol' meanie--and insists his Feraligatr is so much better. Poor guy is deluded, I tell you! Do you have one too?

[Huh, maybe this is like his pokegear...and the person he's talking to has pokemon, too! Oh, this is so cool!]

[goldendays]

[And it begins.

Huh?! A voice from behind him makes Hibiki bolt right up and face the newcomer like a man! Disregarding his totally shocked face.]

Are you talking to me?

[Wait, did he just call him Gold? Or Explotaro....hopefully it was the first once because if his mum ever named him Explotaro he didn't think he'd ever tell anyone his name. No offense.]

[goldendays]

[Commence internal screaming! Is he being challenged by someone?! He's had enough of them just popping out from behind trees and underground at him in Johto, he's done with those days he says!

Of course not all those screams stay internal and a surprised yelp escapes his lips. Typhlosion moves to stand behind Hibiki, eyeing this...green person.]

Itwasntme! I-I mean, Typhlosion knows what he's doing! Especially in a forest! And ahhh, you really scared me there.

[disastergirl]

[Well, it was pretty hard to hold back a giggle after that. Then again, she hadn't been trying very hard either.]

Wow, you must be really new, huh?

[mischiefbreeder]

[Silver, huh? ...Nah, it's gotta be a coincidence.]

You bet I do! Me and Explotaro're lifelong partners now!

[niceguypose]

Oh, I see. This is a power of your creature. I apologize for startling you. But as long as your intentions are peaceful, you certainly have nothing to fear.

[goldendays]

Ah, is it obvious? [He laughs, oh man what a great impression he's making right now.] I woke up here, but I have no clue where "here" is!

[goldendays]

[Or is it? ]

Whoa, same here! Dunno what I'd do without Typhlo' by my side, keke. Though right now he's being a little less than helpful....

[Really, Typhlosion's just looking around. Though staying in one place until they figure out where to go isn't a bad idea.]

[goldendays]

It's okay! Though it was pretty cool when you just popped out of nowhere! [Who would have thought people could hide in trees like that? Certainly nothing he's ever seen in Kanto or Johto.] How'd you do that?

[disastergirl]

Really obvious. [It was probably definitely better that he couldn't see her face right then.]

Sounds about right. That's happened to pretty much everyone around here as far as I can tell! [...Ah.] By the way, those wings on your back are real, so don't mess with them.

[goldendays]

Haha, guess it can't be helped! [Well his face right now was no better, it was a tad bit embarrassing to get called out on for being a new guy! Hopefully he'll stick out less with time...maybe...]

Huh? Oh! I was wondering about these things, everyone has them? Even you, miss?

[mischiefbreeder]

What's he doin'? [Typhlosions are the epitome of helpful bros.]

[disastergirl]

["Miss". It was a little awkward to be reminded of Magdalen right that second, but she would persevere!]

That's right! They're in a lot of different colours too--mine are orange.

[Well, mostly orange.]

[goldendays]

Ooh, orange is a nice color! [Reminds him of fire, yup.

He cranes his head to see what color his wings are, a nice golden color. Goldenrod to be exact, but does he know specific color names? Nope.]

Mine are gold! Does it mean anything?

[goldendays]

Ah.....just walking around the clearing and sniffing at the trees. At least I'm not stranded alone! [Maybe he should just send out another Pokemon to see which way it is to get out of here..]

[disastergirl]

[Ooh, gold. The colour of treasure!]

If it does, I haven't heard anything about it! [A pause.] In fact, I think you're the first person to ask about it.

[risingwinds]

Yup! You and your Typhlosion.

[...Hold on, though, he's squinting.]

...Unless you're not the same Gold. I know there's two Silvers hanging around here.

[mischiefbreeder]

You sure he's not tryin' to find the way to the village? Typhlosions are awesome trackers! [Or so Gold likes to believe.]

[niceguypose]

I merely utilized a ninja skill! Stealth is among our specialties, after all.

[goldendays]

Really? [He stares at them again--gold wasn't even his favorite color, how did these colors even work?!] You've never thought about it either?

[goldendays]

If the village is somewhere burrowed under the snow, I don't think so! [Where did his energetic Cyndaquil go? How did he get stuck with his bum of a Typhlosion. Whhhhyyyyyyy.]

Maybe you can direct me to where it is!

[goldendays]

Yea, I'm no--wait, two Silvers? [h geez, he's not even thinking about the possibility that there's another dude walking around that looks just like him, Typhlosion and all. Two Silvers. Did he do something wrong in life?]

[goldendays]

A...ninja? [STARRY EYES. This is a new development.]
That's...

so...

COOL!! Are there more ninjas here? Is this what you have to do everyday, like hide out and spot intruders and stuff? Whoa, whoa, whoaaaaa.

[disastergirl]

Not really. Besides, if the colour did make a difference, I'll bet someone would have bragged about it already!

[According to Jane-logic anyway.]

[niceguypose]

[Lee beams at him, basking in the compliment.]

It is only one activity we perform each day! Of course our watch must be arduous for enemies, but so must our training and other daily habits! And there are various other ninjas here, many from my world and village!

[risingwinds]

...Yep.

[And cue some shaky laughter from Ventus here.]

One of 'em's nicer than the other, if it helps, though. Probably a little older, too.

[mischiefbreeder]

Try findin' a river.

[goldendays]

[Excuse him while he lets this all sink in. Though one of them being nicer is a little...reassuring.]

If there are two Silvers...then there's a..there's another "me" here? I mean you did call me by someone else's name...

[goldendays]

Whoa! Can I be a ninja, too?! [...Wait, back up. Did the he say there's a village here?

So it's not just a giant forest?]

Uh ninja-san! Did you say there's a village here?

[goldendays]

How many people are here, anyway? I bet there are some repeat colors here and there! [So no one's special...boohoo.]

[goldendays]

[A..river. There's snow everywhere, and plus it's probably iced all over and covered in snow! But then again he could just be overdramatizing the situation. Typhlosion can surely find..a river...]

Oi, Typhlosion! Come on boy, lets see if we can find a river! ...How big is this forest anyway? [What if he's searching for days.]

[mischiefbreeder]

How big? Ahh, well... ...Don't worry about that! [That's a good point. That forest is huge, after all...]

...Ah, wait! In what direction is the sun from you?!

[disastergirl]

There's a lot, so of course there are some repeating colours! [Although her definition of "a lot" was a little different from the norm.]

Does that bother you?

[niceguypose]

Ah... I do not know if you have a potential. Where I come from, we are raised since childhood!

As for your other question, there is a village over in that direction. [He points.] It is the residential center for all who are trapped in this enclosure.

[goldendays]

[Don't worry, huh? If he dies here, you'll be hearing from his lawyer!]

UuUuuUuHHHHHHHHH..........left? Left.

[goldendays]

[Aw, that's too bad. But then again, he doesn't think he would have given up the life of a Pokemon trainer to be a ninja, no way!]

Whoop! Looks like I know where I have to go now, kekeke. Thanks, uh..

[goldendays]

Nah, not really! Maybe if people have the same colored wings they'd get along! ..Or something like that. [Or they could just be there to look nice, he notes.]

[risingwinds]

Well, there's somebody who looks like, you, anyway! And he's even got a Typhlosion. That's what threw me off at first.

[A beat.]

Not that I haven't gone through something like that before. I've got a lookalike of my own, actually.

[niceguypose]

[He could have always taken a note from Koga or Janine's book and do both!]

My name is Rock Lee! I am Konoah's Beautiful Green Wild Beast!
