parkour | 001 ♟ Video | Action for New Bark/Early Route 29

[It's been a pretty busy day, spent mostly with reacquainting himself with everything in Johto; from the things as small as battle mechanics to gauging how much has really changed since he's been gone. Now it's late night, and Izaya's got no plans to fight every HootHoot on Route 29, so he's just sitting on the New Bark Town signpost. May as well use this time to make his presence known, right? Right! He turns of the video, a slightly smug smile on his face before speaking.]

July? Oya... how much time has passed! Really, I can't imagine - our captors must have been very bored if they decided to bring me back after so long! And here at the very beginning, no less. I wasn't even granted the privilege of a strange coma? Johto, I'm so disappointed.

But that's enough of that. Really, having to start over again is nothing short of troublesome. Now that so much time has passed, I have to ask -- Kachin, Rise-chan -- are you both still here? After all, I did ask you to keep watch of some very important belongings of mine these last few months. Once I arrive at Cherrygrove once again, I'd like to retrieve them, of course! [He points upward, grinning almost innocently.]

I have so much catching up to do, I'm sure! Old acquaintances gone! New ones to greet and see! I can't say I expected it... but this may just be a lot of fun.

[He pauses, letting out a flippant sigh.]

...Well, provided that a certain bartender hasn't made his way back as well. Although I'd think after his last misgivings, even the NPCs would give up on such a hopeless case.

Not that it's important.

Though I suppose I'll have to wait until I'm in Goldenrod once again to replace some of my other belongings. [You know. The chess board.] How troublesome.

[And with that, an abrupt cut of the feed. Now it was time to wait and see just who was still around who was of any interest to him.]

There's no use in getting upset over things I can't control.

That is very true, yes.

It's a shame you have to start over from the beginning, though.

It's the most irritating part about the situation... I knew it was a possibility long before I was taken, though.

At least you might be able to get some of your Pokemon again. Or I assume that's what you mean by "important belongings".

There really wouldn't be much else here, now would there?

Nothing important enough to ask someone else to hold on to for you, no.

Most belongings really hold no value here. The Pokémon, at the very least, are useful.

Though finding a way to preserve my savings would've been beneficial. Ah, well. Now I know for next time!

Perhaps someone should open a bank in case of returns like this.

I'm sure someone could, but they'd need quite a hefty staff.

I think there are probably enough people here now to manage it, if they really wanted to.

It wouldn't be an easy task... I don't think many are willing to undertake it.

Sadly not, I suspect.

It's just not the way of Johto's imports!

You mean most of them prefer to avoid difficult tasks?

They generally just do as they're told.

By that logic, shouldn't be fairly simple to get them to do one's bidding, then?

You would think. Though with a bit of conditioning, I'm sure it's possible... our fair captives here mainly listen to those who brought them here.

Though whoever brought us here seems to be largely nonexistant, aside from the occasional communication from a professor. Bit difficult to listen to someone who isn't there.

They're given enough instruction when they arrive - that seems to be enough to satisfy the lot of them.

Hm. You think there's someone else they should be listening to instead?

Not particularly. It was just an observation. I really don't care one way or the other what they choose to do.

Hm~

So, any great plans for what to do with yourself now that you're back?

Continue on as I was before, really.

And what did that entail?

Traveling, mostly. [This is a bold-faced lie.] Though I suppose that's not much different than what the rest of Johto's residents do!
