Lesson 001 (Video/Action): A Shishou has appeared! Command?

[movetutor]

[A new post appears on the network, video feed opening up to reveal a handsome older man with short brown hair. He beams at the camera.] Excellent. I believe I'm getting the hang of this device

[ It's unusual to find someone reacting to their situation so calmly. Or to be acting calm at all especially a Sohma person. This midget here is pinged by this; this and Kasuma's last name making it impossible for him not to react. Plus, it's someone who's in need of assistance.

So he replies. ]

Unfortunately, sir, there isn't a way back yet.. but I can tell you some things about this world.

[movetutor]

[Welcome to the non-zodiac side of the Sohma family, Miles. We don't all have massive trauma, honest. Some of us only have minor trauma. At any rate, Kazuma has been around long enough to know that panicking rarely helps.

He nods in response, already half-expecting that returning might not be so easy.]

Could you? I would appreciate that very much.

[miniworth]

[ Is there anybody not traumatized..? He nods. ]

First, this world is called Johto, and as you suspected, it's a place you might recognize from video games.

I think you may have a creature with you as a companion?

[video]

[movetutor]

[...I may have to get back to you on that.]

Indeed. It's a pity I never played them myself, or perhaps I would have an easier time of it here.

Ah, yes, I do. My "Pokémon", I presume? [He rotates the camera to reveal a Tyrogue standing nearby, eagerly practicing a simple punch.]

[Another Sohma? Well, Kisa had mentioned a big family. Though you don't look a great deal like each other.

Anyway, there's a well dressed young man looking at you through the device.]

Forgive me, but do you happen to be acquainted with a Kisa Sohma?

[video]

[movetutor]

[Kazuma's eyes widen briefly at the mention of a familiar name.]

Kisa? I do indeed have a cousin by that name. [Well, that's the easiest way to describe the tangle of familial connections that is the Sohma family.] Is she here in Johto as well?

[video]

[usednastyplot]

[Artemis gives a brief nod.]

Yes, she's currently staying in Goldenrod City with the rest of our traveling companions.

[video]

[movetutor]

[He can't help a little sigh of relief at that.] It's good to hear that she isn't alone here. [He bows a bit to the camera.] Thank you for watching over her.

[thebelsareinert]

Get a lot of good Pokemon and don't lose your money is the best advice I can give.

[a pause] ... Are you a teacher?

[video]

[movetutor]

Wise advice. You would recommend I build a large team, then?

[He nods.] I own a martial arts dojo, back in Japan.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

If not large, then varied. The Pokemon have different types, so you'll want to cover your bases.

Whoa. That's not what I was expecting.

[video]

[movetutor]

Ah, yes, the types that the trainer's guide mentioned. I'm afraid I may have to take notes at first.

[He can't help but chuckle at that.] Were you expecting me to be a school teacher, perhaps?

[video]

[gochuugoku]

Sohma? Do you know Kisa then, aru?

[video]

[movetutor]

I do indeed. I hope she has been well here in Johto?

[video]

[gochuugoku]

Yes, she has been very kind to me, aru. I'm sure you can tell by the way I speak that I'm a friend of hers.

I am Wang Yao and I come from China, aru. [He bows his head.]

[video]

[movetutor]

[Ever polite and respectful, Kazuma bows his head in return.] It is a pleasure to meet you, Yao-dono. Thank you for being a friend to my young cousin. [He doesn't know Kisa extremely well, but he has heard about her past troubles. Even if those are largely past by Kazuma's canon point, she could still use all the friendship possible.]

[video]

[biteisbigger]

...!

[ well, there's someone she didn't expect to see. ]

[video]

[movetutor]

[A pleasant surprise, we hope?]

Hello, Kisa. It's good to see you well. I admit I wasn't expecting to see any familiar faces here.

[video]

[biteisbigger]

[ indeed! ]

I-it's good to see you... [ and a little bow, because it's Kazuma, one of the few adults who isn't crazy traumatizing Hatori! ]

[video]

[movetutor]

[Awww, socute. He returns the bow with a smile.]

I hope that Johto has treated you well? You seem to already be making friends.
