Tournament talk while at work

Did anyone happen to see the posters that have been put up around town advertising the Johto Fighting Tournament? I notice it says you are allowed to use weapons in this competition. I wonder what kinds of weapons people will have. I was under the impression that all weapons were illegal here?

[It never hurts

There's a fighting tournament?

[video]

[conflictedrebel]

Uhh... No, not really? What's it like?

[unyieldingwill]

It is a very developed world with tall buildings encased in biodomes where all of the technology is controlled by mental energy.
Where do you come from? Is it Earth?

[video]

[conflictedrebel]

Biodomes?? And-- how can it be controlled by mental energy?

Oh-- yeah, I live on Earth.

[unyieldingwill]

We have developed a system over the years that can harness the power of mental energy and turn that into energy, the details of how that works would be difficult to explain, but we use it to power everything from lights to mecha.

[Pride in his world shifts a little toward sadness as he brings up this next part. ]

It has its downsides… the pollution this system causes forced us to build biodomes to contain all of the save air near the surface and keep the pollution on the outside.
But, I know we will find a way to fix that situation.

Mecha? Like... Giant fighting robots?

O-Ohh... Well... at least you built something to save the air instead of letting it happen?

[The darker topic is abandoned in favor of the much more interesting mecha! ]

That’s right, giant fighting robots. We have tournaments for them like they have Pokemon battles here in Johto.
I have been told you don’t have mecha on Earth. They are only in stories?

[conflictedrebel]

Man, and I thought those only existed in cartoons and video games! And yeah, pretty much.

[unyieldingwill]

Cartoons, video games, and foreign worlds.

[Smile!]

People do have trouble believing it but I promise I am not making it up.

[video]

[conflictedrebel]

Well that's cool. And why would someone want to make that up. I believe ya man.

[video]

[unyieldingwill]

Thank you.
It is nice to be so easily believed. The last person I told that to, I’m not sure they ever believed it.

[video]

[conflictedrebel]

Believe me, I've heard of weirder stories....

[video]

[unyieldingwill]

Waking up to find yourself trapped in a video game?

[That was a stranger story surely. ]

[video]

[conflictedrebel]

Nnn--not really. Try waking up inside of a TV.
