PICARATS 009 [VIDEO/ACTION IN GOLDENROD]
[Y'know, a lot of video feeds starts out quite normal, don't they? They just begin for a few seconds on the person starting it or perhaps the floor then towards the owner of the gear. It doesn't really matter. They all manages to have a very calm start and Professor Layton is one of those kinds of people that has all of his feeds opening like that. So, when a new entry appears in the network with his name attached to it, one can expect the same thing, but this time-- HELLO WALL. FANCY SEEING YOU HERE. MY, YOU'RE LOOKING RATHER WHITE AND PLAIN AND BORING TODAY. OH, WHAT'S THAT? YOU WERE JUST RECENTLY DESTROYED BY A WALKING FRUIT PUNCH? NAAAAAAAAAH. STOP TALKING NONSENSE.
Yes, isn't this a strange sight to see? The Professor never has had any video feeds that starts off with the wall or anywhere else, much less for longer than a minute. He normally has the camera upon himself. That or all over the place when his Noctowl is holding it, but at least it has attempted to stay on him. Even if he does have it pointing at sometime else, it is normally only for a few seconds. What is the problem?
But other than that, where on Earth is the Professor? He will normally appear on screen by now. Well, he can't be holding this Pokegear. It's pointing straight at the wall, but at a very elevated height. He isn't that tall, so who is holding it now?
The camera turns around and-- NOW HELLO GRIM THE DUSKULL. HOW COME WE'RE NOT SURPRISED?
Grim has became the unoffical cameraman-- er, camerapokemon --since that Violet City gym badge win and it has been recording this whole feed from the beginning, finding nothing better to do outside its Pokeball. These past few days have been rather strange with all the new arrivals. Also, all of his companions has disappeared too during it. The Vulpix and Noctowl have not been seen at all and in their places have been these other weird Pokemon. Something like an "Alakazam" or whatever it has called itself. Well, whatever has happened, the Alaka-whatever has disappeared as well, but Claire and Walter still isn't back. So, being alone, it might as well fiddle around with the Pokegear.
The camera pans towards the wall again before it falls upon the chairs and sofas of the Pokemon Center, and will you guess it? That's where the good Professor is, sleeping on one of the sofas! Well, anyone will be exhausted from that weekend. Even he needs to lay back now and then.
The focus stays on him just sleeping comfortably for a little while longer. It isn't until about a good five minutes when he does manage to wake up.
With a small quiet groan, he pushes himself up in a sitting position on the Pokemon Center's couch, placing a hand on his forehead. Oh dear, what a headache. It feels almost as if someone is pounding on the side of his head with a hammer. His knee feels strangely aching as well. Man, this will be the last time he will ever try to mark two whole classes' papers in one night if he wakes up like this now.
Using the other hand, he straightens his top hat back on, crooked from lying down. How is it still even on? Well, years of practicing how to do so, even while lying down. After all, a true gentleman never takes his hat off! Or that's just gentleman talk for "the hat is just titled at a certain angle while he has been lying down but still covering his head. You will never get to see what his hair looks like"... Well, the way Layton describes it sounds a lot more better, doesn't it? Take your pick or whatever tickles your fancy.
The Professor blinks a few times and looks around. Confusion spreads across his face. The Pokemon Center? He doesn't recall sleeping in here, or ever. He always slept in the comfort of the inn when he is in a city and just like every other time, he has done so last night. How on Earth did he get out here? Hm. His memory is a bit blurry at the moment and he can't think of anything. He must have been just extremely tired and just fallen asleep here. Well, that has happened before but in his office. Not too surprising if it has happened out here too, just in a Pokemon Center and from marking a bunch of papers. Still, it is curious.
Without quite noticing the Duskull carrying on with its usual tomfoolery and that his Pokegear was in the hands of it, the Professor stands up from the coach. He stretches his arms a few times, feeling the blood rush back into them. He can't stay here for long. He has to get back to the school to get ready for tomorrow's lesson.
Grabbing his sling bag nearby, he begins to make his way outside and Grim follows silently. He tips his hat towards Nurse Joy on the way out and pushes the doors into what he believes is Violet City, but--]
My word...
[Oops...Guess who has been transported all the way to Goldenrod City and seeing for the big industrialized area for once? Another ten picarats for this puzzle. Hint: he begins with "P" and ends with "rofessor 'oh my good tea and buscuits what on Earth has happened now I better get an explanation for this' Layton. Answer: Professor Layton and he is looking even more confused than ever.]
Where in Heavens am I? I do not recall Violet City ever looking like this.
[He stares in shock at all the new sights around him. He has heard many things about Goldenrod City and how grand it is but he has never actually seen any parts of it. Everything here is much different from how London is with all the tall buildings, tellies on top of said buildings, billboards everywhere, all of them are new sights.
Standing still and taking in all the things around him, his Duskull finally lets out a small low cry and floats down right beside him. He turns towards the Pokemon and even more surprise is added to the mix to see that it has been recording all this time. Well, that might explain why his coat's pockets have been feeling a little light. But, gosh. This morning is just one surprise after another.
He looks into the camera and clears his voice once.]
Will any kind sir or ma'am out there please explain as to where I am located in? I suspect this may be Goldenrod City from what little I have heard, but some confirmation is best.
[He places one hand up to his chin and thinks for a few seconds.]
As for waking up in a completely different location, I have the sneaking suspension that it might be as how I have first arrived here, though over a smaller distance? Hm...
Well, if anyone can provide me with any information, I will greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance--
[But before he can finish his sentence, something tackles him from behind. Well, something as in a distressed Noctowl and Vulpix that has missed their trainer since they disappeared to far away lands of talking creatures that called themselves Digimons.
The Professor lets out a sudden yelp of surprise before he falls flat straight onto a panicking Duskull with a Pokegear in its hands. Oh boy, Domino effect and-- oh good! A second part to this? --the feed forcefully shuts down but not long after for everyone to hear this team crying:]
