001▼video; action for Mahogany Town

[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.]

...it looks more like a rat to me. The electricity is...unique, but doesn't prove that we're on another planet.

[He looks off screen at Pikachu. If Volgin could do it, he guessed it wouldn't be impossible for a rodent, but...this thing handled it differently than the Colonel. It didn't need a suit, or...maybe that's what the ball was for?]

Rat, rabbit, whatever. It's yellow and it's a living Van de Graaff generator. I dunno what kind of Earth you're from, but on mine, the only place where stuff like that exists is in Saturday morning cartoons.

[He chuckles.] Many people don't tend to believe it either, aru.

Considering you're new here, I'll only charge 300P, that's the currency they use here by the way.

[He just hoped the offspring would be as good mattered as their mother.]

[He's not going to mention that he can't quite remember what a Van de Graaff is, except that it probably has something to do with electricity.]

I always wondered what kind of ignorant fool you had to be to not know who Colonel Volgin is. Thunderbolt, to the American dogs?

300P, huh?

[Ivan rummaged around in a bag at his side, remember being handed a bit of currency. It looks like he had roughly 3000P from what those Rockets gave him.]

I'll be getting a Gyra... the blue thing, right? I don't want some stupid fish.

_{[... Dull stare.]

[Colonel... Volgin? ... Yeah, not a household name, exactly. She raises a brow and takes another look at the person she's talking to. ... Army uniform. Not American, though. Well okay, buddy.]}

Do I look like a soldier to you?

I've never heard of anybody named 'Thunderbolt'.

Sounds like a male stripper name.

[Ivan's...speechless.]

[After a moment of that stunned silence he finally says something.

Well, more like shouts.]

How dare you insult the Colonel like that!? If he were here to hear that right now, you would be dead, woman!

[He nods.]

It will take time to raise the fish, but I will give it to you once it's become a dragon, aru.

[He tries to figure out where Ivan is by looking at the background.]

Where are you anyway?

Alright~ [Pleased with this deal, he smirks a bit.]

I, uh...Mahogany town.

_{[...no. No Ivan. Don't yell at her. Do you realize what you are doing??]

[At first, Heather looks slightly alarmed. Not so much about his anger, just the unexpected volume. But then, slowly, the corners of her mouth curl upwards into a big, toothy smirk.]

[Oh. OH. You mad, son. You mad.]}

'Colonel'... so that's what they're calling it these days.

_{[She obviously doesn't really think he's talking about a stripper, but... come on, it got such a good reaction!]}

Mahogany... [Wait... that was where all the Team Rocket recruits... He keeps a calm face on the outside, at least he hopes he is. Besides, he was anything but defenseless.]

I'm in Goldenrod. Perhaps, we could either meet in Ecruteak or I could take the shortcut to Mahogany myself, aru.

[That would mean he'd have to go ahead of his brothers, but with Hong Kong doing the badge challenge they'd catch up.]

You think you can just mock the most powerful man in Russia?! A little girl like you?

[Oh, he's mad all right.]

[Ivan gives him a look, but doesn't seem to notice anything else.]

Ecruteak...let me see.

[He rummages around again, pulling out a map. Mahogany to Ecruteak...]

There's water in the way. I'm not swimming over that unless I can get a boat.

[He's not a very cooperative buyer. Granted, he assumes he'll have to swim it himself.]

Well, I don't see anyone stopping me, so...

_{[Teenagers feed on stuck-up people getting mad. It is like their life force.]}

You're just lucky this is over video phone or I would come over there and stop you myself.

[And Ivan is like that kid who starts shouting and resorts to violence the moment he's insulted.]

[China can't help but chuckle.] Understandable. I wouldn't want to swim all the way across either. [Why would anyone go for a swim when it was still cold?]

I can get across with Lien-Hua, aru. Hopefully by the time I reach you, the fish will have evolved.

Then, perhaps... [He trails off.] Then, you could get across easily, aru. [That wasn't what he had originally planned on saying, but it sounded better this way.]

[The cold wasn't anything new to Ivan, being from Russia, but he knew his limits.]

About that--how long do you think it will take you?

[He really had no sense of how long traveling would take from one city to the next, and so far he hadn't even seen a vehicle. Better Yao to make the journey than him.]

[China rummages around in his own knapsack for his map. He takes a moment to look at it before looking into the screen again.]

I would say a month at the most, or four to three weeks at the least, aru. Plus I have to tell my brothers that I'll be going ahead of them.

[Now what sort of reason should he make up for going all the way to Mahogany? Though, Hong Kong would eventually find out most likely.]

A month?

[He's at disbelief. Ivan was a man of immediate gratification...and he really didn't want to stay in this own for that long. He really didn't want to stay in this "world" for that long.]

Isn't there a shortcut you can take?

[He cups his chin in thought.]

I have another pokemon that I can ride on land, so it should cut that time in half, aru. So then it'd probably take me two weeks?

It will depend on the pace I take, aru.

[He could always travel for two days or more days straight, but then his Onix would need a break after all that endless movement.]

[Two weeks was better. Still too long for his tastes, but better.]

...That's good enough. I'll have the money when you get here.

[In the meantime, maybe Ivan will see what this whole "Team Rocket" thing is about.]

[He nods.]

Alright. I'll leave Goldenrod tomorrow, then, aru.

[He still hasn't thought of what to tell his brothers, let alone everyone else he knew back in Goldenrod, as to why he was leaving so suddenly... He had better think fast.]

I'm just a lucky duck like that, aren't I?

Anyway, love to see you try.

_{[These two will clearly be the best of friends.]}

Good to know you've been informed.

[why yes, Cybil does sometimes forget that her 15lb bat ~~you silly russian~~ Pokemon likes to use her head as a roost.

give her a second.]

It's another creature who can fit into those balls. This one's called a Zubat, yours is probably called something different.
