[The video screen shook a bit, as Ivan seemed to be adjusting it after finally figuring out how the damn thing worked. His face took up the majority of the screen.

Amazing! This thing didn't even look like a camera, and it seemed to do a lot more than just that too. They had portable cameras where he came from, but video was a whole 'nother story.

There was a whine, obviously feral, and the camera shifted down to a small yellow rat. Or Pikachu, but Ivan preferred to call it a rat.]

Heh! And look at this thing--it fits into a ball!

[He shoves it with his foot. The "rat" protests again, sparking angrily. Ivan either ignores it or simply doesn't notice as he turns the camera back to his beautiful visage. The lens wasn't as close now, and his Soviet Major's uniform could be seen. He had refused to change into his new Rocket uniform.]

If somebody could explain to me how to get home, the only assholes I talked to--

[And that's about the last thing Ivan says (besides a surprised scream) as he gets a good shock and the feed ends.]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

...I see. [He didn't look too happy about that, a few days was too long to be away from home, let alone a few months.]

That's right, Major Ivan Raikov. And you are?

[Surely a name will confirm a gender once and for all!]

How dare I what?

[He just gives Huey a perplexed look, with a hint of smugness--simply because the other man seems angry.

It doesn't really matter why he's angry, just that Ivan caused it and that was something to be smug about.]

Wang Yao, from China.

[He bows his head.]

[His name sounded like food.]

...What kind of name is that?

[China just... blinks.]

I'm Chinese, aru. Yao is a common name in my country, just as Ivan is in yours.

[He clears his throat.] Putting that aside, I'm afraid you'll have to get used to having that Pikachu following you around, aru. You're stuck with it whether you like it or not.

[ZUBAT CHILLING ON HER HEAD PAY NO MIND.]

As far as anyone here is aware of, there's no feasible way of going home. Everything here happens at random with no rhyme or reason.

[Ivan pays mind.]

That's what everybody keeps saying...

...What is that thing on your head?

[It looked like some kind of rat. Everything was a rat to Ivan--unless it was an American, then they were just a dog.

Dogs were also dogs.]

Edited 2011-02-23 18:22 (UTC)

...Oh. [He still didn't know what gender Yao was.]

[Pikachu pips up happily at the mention of it's name.]

What's the point? I don't need pets, they just waste resources.

[Also known as food for Ivan.]

No way home.

'Least not one that anyone knows how to find.

[Oh, it's some little girl. Ivan watches her rather blankly.]

What would you know?

_{[... What would I know?]}

More than you, newbie.

Nobody knows how to get back.

Not even the natives, unless they're playing some serious kind of dumb.

[Ivan only narrows his eyes and raises a brow at the word "newbie", having no idea what it means.

He doesn't like your attitude, Missy.]

Keep using that tone and you'll regret it.

What about how we got here?

[China's beginning to notice how long Ivan has been staring at him.] May I ask why you're staring at me?

[China smiles at the Pikachu. Those were so cute!]

I wouldn't call them pets, since they seem to be more intelligent than the natives here, aru. They can actually put up a good fight if they're trained well. Not only that, but when they reach a certain level they completely change their appearance.

[His beautiful Gyarados for example; his precious Lien-Hua.]

Are you a man or a woman?

[He says rather bluntly.]

They can fight...? Maybe they're useful after all...

I'm a man, aru. [This isn't the first time he's heard that question, so he answers in a pretty calm tone.]

Yes, they all have different abilities. Your pikachu, for example, is and electric-type, that's why it can use lightning and static with its attacks, aru. Then my Dewgong is an ice-type, so he will be able to use ice with his attacks.

[He smiles a bit.] How beautiful~

[Yeah, this talk of Pokemon? He's caring less and less.]

So that was what shocked me earlier...the thing should know better. I'll have to train it.

[He looks off screen at the rat, a little irritated. Pikachu can be heard responding cautiously.]

[Even though China's heard that one before too, he still blushes a little, but he keeps his face relaxed.] *ahem* Thank you, aru.

Even I have to admit they can get on one's nerves, but not all of them have bad attitudes...

[He takes his own pokegear and has it zoom out a little so his Gyarados, Lien-Hua, can be seen nuzzling against him like a purring cat.]

[Well, Ivan feels accomplished now. If only this weren't over...video...phone. Video phone.]

A good soldier should never attack his--what is that?!

[His face grew larger as Ivan leaned closer to his screen, trying to get a good look.

Pikachu's face popped into the frame as he tried to get a look, and Ivan pushed him away.]

_{[It's okay, Ivan. Not many people like Heather's attitude.]

[Her brows go up and she actually scoffs.]}

Oh gosh. I'm quakin' in my rainboots.

Anyway, isn't it obvious?

Alien abduction.

_{[She has no idea. But he's getting annoyed with her and when that happens, it's basically like pressing a great big red button that says 'ANNOY ME MORE'.]

[... There's also something incredibly familiar about him, but she's thrown off by that Soviet uniform. ... It'll occur to her eventually, though.]}

[One of these days, Ivan... One of these days...]

Hm? Oh, this is Lien-Hua, my female Gyarados, aru. [He steps away from Lien-Hua and focuses the camera of his gear on his sea dragon.]

She's quite gentle, actually.

[Not many people like Ivan's attitude either, ironically.]

... [He scowls a bit at her sarcasm.]

Alien abduction? Are you kidding me--you actually believe we're on another planet?

[That's what some of the others have been saying too.]

It's big...

[What the Colonel wouldn't do for a creature like that...]

Where did you get it?

Well... She actually used to be a tiny red fish until she evolved and became this beautiful dragon, aru. [He's honestly not expecting Ivan to believe him, but it was still the truth.]

Although, she should be having eggs soon, aru. I could raise one for you. [Because not everyone had the patience to raise these guys.]

You were just given a banana-yellow rabbit that can shoot electricity out of its face and fit into ball the size of an apple and you're telling me you think we're on Earth?

_{[...she has no idea that she basically just described his boyfriend. ..... with the part about shooting electricity, not about fitting into balls the size of apples or being banana-yellow.]}

I hope you don't expect me to believe that.

[He scoffed, but the offer for eggs still piqued his interest.]

I'll let that slide, though. [Ivan was so generous, wasn't he?]

Now, what do you want for it?
