❀ 2nd Konpeito ❀ [Video]

[When the video switches on, she's holding a book- on Pokémon, and sitting in the corner of the Dangan House. There's a paper in her hands, and if you squint, you can make out frantic scrawling in Japanese all over the other side of it, written with a heavy hand- there's imprints on the paper.

Her Mawile is sleeping on the beanbag next to her, and a Petilil carries more books to her obediently. When Saionji takes them, said Petilil goes to bother Ayani instead.] You know... I've been thinking, and... it's so stupidly pitiful.

[A pause. She doesn't elaborate.] ...And what's a legendary Pokémon?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

True, true... but that just makes it all the more painful! This place is perfect for Japan. Why do other people have go and stink it all up?

This place is nice and all, and I'm not saying that's bad- but people from all kinds of worlds are coming! What about serial killers, cannibals, and big, old perverts?! They'll probably be welcomed here too! We're just sitting ducks!

Plus, shouldn't the foreigners who arrive here conform to this place instead of trying to bring in their own ideas? I myself am trying to question why it's such a weird mix of Western-Eastern in the first place, so it doesn't really apply to me.

I don't think we have to worry too much...at least, no one is able to die here...or so it seems...

[ And they haven't had any trouble like that for however many years this place has had other worlders in it, so... ]

I think the different ideas are a little interesting. It's a bit like a game...learning about where everyone is from.

[...True, true. She's talking to Nanami after everyone else, so she drops the topic extraordinarily fast.]

Yeah, but death will still hurt!

...I'm not saying new ideas are bad, but sometimes it's for the best they just stay away. Like this city! It's noisy, and crowded, and I don't like it. I'd much rather go somewhere else will less smelly tourists.

In that case, one of the smaller towns is probably better...those are usually the starting towns. As you go further in, things tend to get bigger, so going more towards the start would probably be best...

[ At least, by game logic. ]

[...GAME LOGIC. RIGHT.]

Okay then! Ecruteak sounds great, though... I can't wait to go there! [Grin.] With the towers, history, culture...

So how are 'Gym Leader' battles?

Hm...well, you have to beat the lower-level trainers in their gyms before they'll accept your match...but then it's basically like any boss battle. Their Pokemon are a bit higher leveled than the other trainers in the gym and area, and they might have special moves sometimes...which the leader might give you a TM for after the battle, if you win.

Huuuh... why are they stupid enough to stick to the same type, though? That makes them soooo much easier to beat!

[SERIOUSLY. SHE NEVER GOT IT. Maybe it's tradition...? She can accept that. But it's a fucking stupid tradition. Like memorizing movements for tea ceremonies, holy shit, those are boring. Not like she'll say that out loud.]

I think it's just traditional...

[ It's one of the things that seems to be totally true to the games, really. ]

It's still stupid.

[Argh.] What's Violet City's Gym Type, then?

Flying. So...electric types and that sort of thing should make it easier...

A funny electric sheep ended up in my PC! Plus, Ayani knows Stone Edge. I'll finish them! [HEEHEE.]

A funny electric sheep...? Ah, a mareep? A flaffy? An ampharos?

Mareep. It likes babysitting my Pokémon for some reason.

[Hmph.] Is the previous owner dead or something?

From what I've been able to learn, sometimes when people go home their Pokémon go to other people here...so it probably had an original trainer who went home?

Went home?

You can... go home? I've heard of comas, but people actually disappearing...?

[SHE SOUNDS SCARED AND FOR GOOD REASON.

KINDA. DOESN'T WANT TO BE PERMANENTLY DEAD.]

[ NANAMI CAN RELATE... ]

...Yes. But...some people have also been here for years. If there's a way to stay here permanently...I'd like to find it.

[Guuuuh.]

...I guess. It's a really kiddy, stupid world! But it's better than before. Anything is better than before, though, so that's not much of a compliment.

[Sighs.] ...Plus, Pokémon make good servants.

...I agree. Although, I think..."something" is always better than "nothing".

[...]

Big Sis Nanami.

What happened after the third trial? You guys caught the pig bitch, right?

...We caught the culprit. After that, there were two more trials.

[ Or, wait. ]

Three, counting the final one. But no one died that time.

[Well, the way Nanami easily tells her about the next trials without giving her a look or something is proof enough that basically everyone already can tell what time she's from. Fuck. Oh well, the way she was acting, she'd seriously question their intellect if they couldn't.]

No one died? How's that possible? Did everyone already die before?

[ It's sort of easy to tell...if you pay attention. ]

No...the people still alive at that time found a way out.

[...WAIT HOLD ON REWIND WHAT NOW]

There's a way out?! How- and who survived?!

[SHE'S JUST GONNA. STARE AT YOU RIGHT NOW AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME]

[ Nngh. Well, she can't talk Future Foundation shop talk, but...Saionji deserves to know a little bit. ]

A sort of forced game over. The details...might be best left to Hinata-kun...

[ ...Given they got out after her trial, that would be... ]

Hinata-kun, Kuzuryuu-kun, Souda-kun, Sonia-san, and Owari-san.

[OH.

OH SO THEY ALL LIVED TO THE END AND DIDN'T FUCKING TELL HER? FUCK THEM-

-how the hell did souda live to the end-

-OKAY MOVING ON.] Why didn't they tell me?! Don't use your video game analogies here, dumb bitch, it wasn't a game!

[Saionji I hate to break it to you, but]
