This is Major Miles from Amestris... In this land known as Johto now.

I'm looking for information about the creatures of this land. Especially small blue round ones.

...Also, I'm looking for a man with an X-shaped scar across his forehead. Let me know where he is, if he's here.

Miles, out.

... nah...

[derpsaboutfamily]

[ Blink. ]

Lt. Colonel Hughes.

... Do I know you?

YOU HAVE NO CHOICE

[militarytactics]

...You do not.

[he's a good man...]

Sorry, I must have heard wrong. My apologizes, Lt. Colonel.

[And he salutes as well.]

... betch pls

[derpsaboutfamily]

[ Have a salute back. He's not cocky enough to think that news of his death would reach so far as Briggs, so that doesn't even register as a possibility as to why you're so surprised to hear his name. ]

You've just arrived, I take it?

i will cut you at the legs

[militarytactics]

[Well it technically didn't, it was one time when he came down to central that he heard.]

Today. How long have you been here, Lt. Colonel?

whatevs

[derpsaboutfamily]

Hmm, lets see... must be about two months now!

ugh oh you

[militarytactics]

...Two months. And you haven't seen home once?

[derpsaboutfamily]

[ A pause. And then his expression softens a little. ]

Unfortunately, no.

[militarytactics]

...That's not promising to hear, Lt. Colonel.

[But he nods. Who knows how long they could be here.]

[derpsaboutfamily]

No, I'm sorry, it really doesn't.

On the other hand, Major, I've heard that time will continue as is when you return home. So I doubt you're missing out on much.

[ He's already been here once before, right? And nothing strange happened... so that must be the explanation. ]

[militarytactics]

I am not too concerned about that. Nothing that I need to do can continue without me.

[derpsaboutfamily]

[ Small laugh ]

That's good, I suppose.

Either way, it isn't so bad here, Major.

[militarytactics]

It does not seem to be. A little warmer than I'm use to, but it looks good.

Where should I head from here then? [He sees only one route but he's not above asking for a little bit of help.]

[derpsaboutfamily]

[ He's never been there, but he has seen a map of the area ]

I believe there should only be one road leading out of this city! There is also a small map of this country in that device you're holding.

[militarytactics]

Alright, I see it. Thank you, Lt. Colonel Hughes.

[derpsaboutfamily]

Ah, Major! One more thing. You should have been given a chimera-like creature. They call them Pokemon here.

It will help ensure you're safe.

[militarytactics]

Ah, yes, I've already experienced them. They're quite fascinating.

[derpsaboutfamily]

Aren't they! I've heard there are hundreds, maybe even thousands, of different types out there!

[militarytactics]

[Moment of thinking...]

They seem similar to animals.

[derpsaboutfamily]

Some seem quite similar to plants, as well!

[militarytactics]

...They seem to have everything here, don't they?

[derpsaboutfamily]

They do, they really do...

[ Pause. ]

Except alchemy! That doesn't work here, unfortunately. [ Or fortunately, depending on who it is. ] Are you an alchemist, Major?

[militarytactics]

I am not. [He's an Ishvalan Hughes. Oh wait, can you not see this? I forgot.]

[derpsaboutfamily]

[ The screen is tiny, okay? Plus, idk, you could be rogue or something. ]

Then you've got nothing to worry about!

[militarytactics]

[NOT AT ALL ROGUE.]

I suppose not. I wasn't worried to begin with.

[derpsaboutfamily]

[ How's he supposed to know this? ]

Ah, a tough one! You'll fit right in, Major.
