[When the Gear turns on, for a few seconds all that can be seen is the sky. Then, a hand reaches over and into the view of the camera as someone picks up the Gear. It soon shifts over to point down at Yuuri, who is laying down on the grass, his Horsea lying next him.] It’s really hot out here. Is it always like this? I wish there was a swimming pool or something around here...

[He sighs and wipes a hand across his forehead.] Anyway, I was wondering… Where exactly am I? I mean I know what pokémon are but I can’t really be in that world, right? After all, it’s just a game. [He laughs a little.] This all has to be a dream or some elaborate prank. I mean, I get that this kind of thing happens in fiction a lot, but the possibility of it actually happening is really low.

So, well, what I’m trying to say is… How exactly do I wake up from this dream?

Sure! I can start making copies, they should be ready by the time you reach Cherrygrove, I can have them sent there!

And it really does! Mapping lets you find all sorts of hidden things!

I'd really like that. Thanks!

I bet you've found some good places to train pokémon by doing that.

Un! I've actually been making a few, places with good shade, access to water and tall grass are the best ones. Keeps you cool and has a high random encounter rate!

Ah, I'd love to find out where those are!

The nearest one to New Bark... [[and he's off screen rummaging before pulling out a pad of graph paper and flipping pages until he gets to the right map.]] Let's see... Un, this one should be good! [[flips it around to show off a spot just off the side of the road not too far down Route 29]]

Hold on a second. [Currently searching through every pocket he has for a piece of paper, and then going through his bag.]

... I don't have any way to write that down.

Aaa, that's a problem, isn't it? [[ponders]] I wonder if there's anyway to take a picture with this, like with a cell phone... [[looking at the gear a moment before phht yeah he has no idea.]] Or maybe you could just mark it on your map?

Let me see. This really can't be too different from a cell phone... [He starts pushing some buttons as he tries to take a screenshot, causing some text to show up on the screen.]

[...] I'll mark it on the map.

They really should come with a manual or something.

[He nods.] It's not hard to figure out how to do text, video and voice but everything else isn't easy to do at first.

... I wonder if there are any games on this thing.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

There are! But you have to get them at the store.

[Video]

[travelsbywater.livejournal.com]

Huh... What do they have?

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

A few different ones, all older games, though!

[Video]

[travelsbywater.livejournal.com]

Like what? I don't mind playing older games, as long as they're fun.

[shiromadoushi]

[[a pause as he tries to recall the list]] There's asteroids and a lot of the really old arcade types.... one called Kanto trail which is almost like a text adventure... quite a few! It's been a while since I looked at the list!

That actually sounds like fun. I might check them out.
