First Song ○ video

[Unhappy Masato is unhappy. Then again, so would you be if you have someone over here telling you to be evil. He's frowning with displeasure at the gear, the look in his eyes pretty much showing that he wants to say something but is refraining from it.]

...So I've... been told I'm here until further notice.

[His frown deepens.] I'm... quite suspicious that this may be the work of Principal Saotome, but even he does not seem to be capable of such a... ridiculous scheme.

Actually, I stand corrected. While he does seem quite capable of a kidnapping and organization plot, he doesn't strike me as one who is capable of creating these... creatures.

[And with that, he turns his gear to the little Karrablast sitting on the floor. It's currently holding a black cap, gnawing on the brim every once in a while. He turns the gear back to himself.]

It's... Am I truly responsible for this during my stay here? Hopefully it's brief. If anyone has any further information regarding this place, it would be most appreciated.

Time works differently in this world. [Yes they're in another world.] While you might have seen me six hours or minutes ago, I saw you six months ago.

[Have the most deadpan stare imaginable.]

Another... world. This has to be some sort of joke.

It's not. We're in a Pokémon world and that's why you have that... whatever that is. [Referring to the Karrablast.] And any others you might have.

[For a moment, he really feels the need to punch something, but that's not going to fix a thing in this place. So, after taking a deep breath, he turns back to the gear.]

And there really is no way to return? [He looks really depressed.] We're all going to fail our final.

[Fail our final? Why do you all keep coming from Ren's past?]

Time doesn't move in our world while we're here. It's another twist to this world. So as long as we're here, nothing's happening at home.

[Why are you from the future, grandpa?]

So time... stops while we're here? That's... Alright. I can't dream up a more unimaginable scenario, but I can't help but believe it.

...So you've really been here for six months?

[Shut up, brat.]

I have. I was alone until Shinomiya appear a few months ago. Soon after that Haruka appeared and then Kurusu almost a month ago and now you.

[He was basically alone for what, four months? Not that it bothered him as much as this bothered him.]

Tell me the truth, Hijirikawa. Are you or are you not in Goldenrod City right now?

[Have his most serious expression.]

[Don't make me step on your lawn.]

Ah... So you've been here longer than all of us.

[Whoa, sudden attitude. But that question is definitely pointing out what he is now guessing. He decides to answer truthfully.]

I am. I can only guess why you would ask that.

[Tch. So it really was like he feared. God damn it Hijirikawa.

He doesn't say anything else. Instead he'll turn off the gear and walk out of his room to search for Hijirikawa in the base.]

[Goddamn it, Jinguji! He just closes the gear and tucks it into his pocket, then decides to head out on his own. Learning this place he's stuck in beats sitting in his room frowning at everything. He frees the hat from his pokémon, surprised to find that it's not really damp, though there is a very slight burn on the rim now, and just tugs it on his head. If he's stuck in this Rocket group, he should at least play the part until he gets his bearings straight. The Karrablast just retreats into the pokéball for now... And Masato sets that on the pillow. Noooot dealing with that right now.

Shutting the door behind him and making note of the number as he leaves, he heads down the hallway.]

[Apparently they don't live too far from each other. Not in the same hallway, but close enough for Ren to catch Hijirikawa before he gets too far from where he lives. Ren's definitely not dressed up as a Grunt right now because he doesn't like the clothes. It's just his normal clothes you'd expect him to have.

Without a word Ren walks up to Hijrikawa and graps his collar and pushes him to the nearest wall as a greeting. You can tell he's really annoyed right now because of the way he's acting.]

Why did you have to come here?

[He does know it's not Hijirikawa's fault, but hey... he needs someone to be annoyed at.]

[While he hadn't expected to see Jinguji so soon, he was sure he should have guessed it. Getting shoved against the wall, however, was new, and definitely aggravating. That hat was quick to slip from his head and fall to the ground in the sudden movement of it all. Glaring, he reached up a hand to grab his arm, just to hopefully keep Jinguji from making this more violent than it needed to be. Well... it was already more violent than even necessary, but this was common for them.]

You think I made this choice voluntarily? Let me go, Jinguji.

[Instead of letting go his grip tightened a little. Yes, it wasn't his choice. Neither of them made this choice. Knowing that didn't make him less annoyed, though, which is why he was still there.

It was hard enough to see Haruka in a place like this. How on earth would he deal with Hijrikawa being there also? Not that he normally would have cared, but he was under enough stress already.]

Of course not. None of us made this choice.

[Masato was fully aware of that extra grip, and besides the fact that he was annoyed at Jinguji for wrinkling his shirt, he was bothered by the fact that this was happening to begin with. He didn't want to fight, but his temper is definitely at that point.

Which explained why his other hand was forming quite a tight fist at that moment.]

Then what is your problem? The fact that I'm here? I didn't ask for this.

You're making things more complicated. They're already bad as they are and then you just need to appear out of nowhere and make things worse.

[He loosens the grip on the collar a bit, still not completely letting go.] Then again, isn't that what you always do. Just make my life more complicated.

[Making things more complicated... by just being there?! He looks pretty offended by that and it doesn't even take five seconds before his temper gets the best of him and that fist goes flying at Ren's gut.]

[Man that hurt. At least that made Ren let go... but it also made him even more annoyed that he already was.

So it doesn't take long until he aims a punch straight back at Hijirikawa's face.

Welcome to Johto, Hijirikawa.]

[Finally freed, Masato reaches a hand up to straighten his shirt, but he should have known not to let his guard down, as Jinguji's fist is quick to connect with his face. Unfortunately, the closeness of the hit has him bumping his head against the wall too. Eh, could be worse.

But now he's definitely angry, so he takes a quick start towards Jinguji and throws a punch at his face.]

What is your problem?!

[Fortunately Ren was prepared for another punch and put his arm up to shelter his face. Though the punch did hurt no matter where it hit, so the result was basically the same.]

You. You are my problem, Hijirikawa! [Did he made it clear enough?]

[Annoyed that the punch was blocked, he pulls his hand back, ready to throw another one, but the answer makes him pause. He's the problem? For merely showing up?]

Then why did you seek me out?!

[He thrusts both hands forward, trying to put a distance between himself and Jinguji.]

You're hopeless. Go away!

[Obviously, he needed to vent his frustration on someone. Don't worry, he'll take a few steps back to calm down for now. He's still annoyed, but he knows fighting won't do them much good so it's better to at least try to calm down.

He looks away to see if there's anyone near them. At least it doesn't seem like anyone saw them fighting like this.]

You might be right about that. Then again, you have no idea what's going on right now.

[He looks at Hijrikawa.]

Haruka started here.

[When Jinguji doesn't come back, he lowers his hands, but they're still in fists just in case he needs to be ready. Thankfully, it looks like the fight has taken a pause for now, so he just relaxes his guard and rubs his knuckles tenderly. Fighting is always rough on his hands...]

I don't need your help in finding out, you know.

[But he's quick to look back up at the mention of Haruka.]

She did? Is she still here? You haven't messed with her, have you?

[Ren probably would have told him everything, but the last question changed his mind. Really, he expected it, but it's still not appreciated.

He put his hands to his pockets, just to keep himself from making an extra punch.]

Ah, but didn't you just say you didn't need my help in finding out what's going on?

I wasn't going to turn it down if you were just offering it freely.

[And with that, he crosses his arms over his chest and takes a step closer. This attitude is just pissing him off further.]

Why are you doing this, Jinguji? If I'm such a problem to you, why did you come find me? Why did you offer help to begin with?

[Why was he like this? Most of it was most likely overreacting, but some of it was definitely some hidden stress that decided to erupt the minute Hijirikawa came to Johto. Sad, but true.]

Believe me, if you had started in New Bark Town like people normally do, I wouldn't be like this. Yes, that's not your fault, but who else can I yell at? [He'll admit that much of his childishness.]

Though it's not like I can just leave you be, can I? The lady would be sad if she knew I ignored you for my own pleasure.
