[ PokeKoga Scroll 6 ] To pass Route 30 and 31

[kougameleon]

Koga's wicked Chameleon ninja had been roaming Cherrygrove and its outskirts for a while. The next destination was to the north where Violet City was, but there was a little hesitation. Saemon found no reason to rush; furthermore, according to a citizen in town, it would take a week to reach.

(All this to seek badges in this world). Many thoughts occurred. In this different world space, things were more serene compared to warring Japan, plus many people practiced the custom of training animals for various reasons. Maybe it still bothered him that he may stay here for quite a while, potentially years, or even forever?

One thing's for sure, he should try to get a fishing rod. But that seemed very far.

"I should I say this. To anyone out there...shortly before coming here, have any of you been fighting? Are you from a place that has been in war?"

Of course. Humans are always at war with each other.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Yes to both of your questions.

Re: [audio]

[kougameleon]

Indeed. But I mean before coming here. Like for me, I was fighting.

Re: [Text]

[kougameleon]

...How do you cope in this world? When it isn't much like yours?

[pinnedbangs]

I don't know about a war, but I had been fighting before I came here.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Good question. Start but finding something close to how things were in your world and focus on that.

Re: [video]

[kougameleon]

Really?

Re: [Text]

[kougameleon]

That's been the difficult part.

[forcefateshand]

To an extent. One war had just ended, and another was almost certain to begin soon.

My world seems to be near-constantly embroiled in a state of conflict. [He doesn't seem either especially pleased or displeased about that. He says it in the same matter-of-fact manner one would say that the sky is blue.]

[hurtitselfinconfusion]

What's it matter if I was?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Not war, but I've been involved in plenty of fighting.

_{[It couldn't rightly be called a war if only a scant few people were actually involved, really.]}

Why?

[Video]

[usedcharm]

Now that you mention it, yeah. Is that common? For people to be brought here from worlds that had fighting and conflict?

[Text]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Maybe I can help suggest something. What was your world like?

Re: [Text]

[kougameleon]

Feudal Japan.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[Oh. Well. In that case. Wow, that definitely would be hard to adjust to.]

I can see how that would be difficult. I was assuming you were from a more modern time.

Re: [audio]

[kougameleon]

How should I say this -- I am a little lost.

Re: [Text]

[kougameleon]

Indeed. But then again, it is currently better here.

Re: [Video]

[kougameleon]

In my "world", I had a duty. Let's just say that things have changed considerably in Johto.

Re: [Video]

[kougameleon]

I wonder if this is some kind of "relief world"?
For the weary and the dead?

[kougameleon]

What did you do when you first came here? What were your thoughts?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Things usually do.

Getting ripped from your old life and plopped into a completely different world isn't exactly conducive to stuff staying the same.

Re: [Video]

[kougameleon]

How did you manage?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

... Looked at it like a second chance.

Re: [Video]

[kougameleon]

A...second chance?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah.

To do what you can't back home.

_{[Or couldn't.]}
