arrogantalloy | Route 29: 001

Right, so after studying up on the pokedex, I’m going to need to know the best ways to routes 10 and 11 in Kanto as well as 37 Johto. I’m looking for some of these little guys in particular, and that’s where the Pokedex says they are.

Don’t think it’s going to be easy, because it never really is. But they’re going to come in more than a little handy while I have to re-establish myself. Not something really new, though the location has changed quite a bit.

But then again, some guy in a lab coat pointed out to me the more I use the bird, the more useful it'll be. And if making it strong while I get these other ones I'll need, well that's going to work in both our favours.

Also, these need names, right? Because if I have to call it what it's screeching, well, that's just going to really get on my nerves to be honest.

Something like this would have been banned on the field where I'm from. Too likely to get someone killed.

From:

arrogantalloy

Technology could get someone killed? Okay, in the wrong hands I get it. But, this thing is pretty intuitive. Especially as I've seen kids with them.

From:

itsjustdust

If you're in a position where any noise at all can get you discovered and bring down the enemy on your head, you don't want something that lights up or makes noise of any kind on you that you can't predict perfectly. Outside communications can't be controlled entirely with these.

From:

arrogantalloy

Huh.

[Tony looks like he thinks about that kind of life then shakes his head.]

Doesn't sound like I'm going to book a holiday there any time soon.

From:

itsjustdust

You'd probably do better amid the civilians anyway, they're the ones that play with stuff like this.

From:

arrogantalloy

I'm usually the kind of person who sells this kind of thing to civilians.

From:

itsjustdust

So, yes, pretty much. Shinobi stick to base radios if they're doing mission tech.

From:

arrogantalloy

Shinobi, huh?

So, then if you're used to such tense living, how do you feel about here?

From:

itsjustdust

I like it here, but it's not home. Still, better than being dead by a lot.

From:

arrogantalloy

[He chuckles.]

Well a lot of things are better than being dead. And a world of freaky creatures is up there all right.

From:

itsjustdust

Exactly! After how I died I wouldn't have exactly had standards of living either. Eegh.

From:

arrogantalloy

Wait.

After how you died?

From:

itsjustdust

Yeah! Rocks fell, crushed more than half my body, then I gave the uncrushed eye to my teammate. Very dramatic.

From:

arrogantalloy

Huh. Not really kidding about the whole 'very dramatic' thing Well, you're looking pretty good for a dead guy.

From:

itsjustdust

I know right? I woke up here totally intact.

From:

arrogantalloy

This sounds like the kind of thing you need a publicist for.

From:

itsjustdust

A what?

From:

arrogantalloy

A publicist? Someone that makes you look good to the public, get you on all the best talk shows, so you can't about your harrowing tale. I'm pretty sure I've had 6.

And slept with most of them now I think about it.

From:

itsjustdust

And then they got all mad or are you better with women than that?

From:

arrogantalloy

Pepper kept replacing them, she seemed to think I was ruining the professional standard by doing it. But I have a reputation, so it's not like they didn't know what they were getting into.

From:

itsjustdust

Pepper your teammate or something like it I take it?

From:

arrogantalloy

Team mate? Uh, no. She... Hmmm. She's my CEO, well I say CEO but she gave me the company back, she still runs it though. And, until I was dragged here. My current girlfriend.
