PUZZLE 001 [ROUTE 29 - VIDEO/ACTION]

[[With a flicker of static, a concerned young woman comes into view, peering into the screen. Behind her, a Machop is also staring into the camera, albeit with a more positive expression.]]

That appears to have done it...not that tricky of a puzzle, all things considered. Hello? Professor? Luke? Anyone?

[[Frowning slightly, the girl casts a somewhat concerned look at the Pokemon beaming beside her, before furrowing her brow, appearing to be deep in thought.]]

I think I'm alone, but...where? What is this place?

[[The serious look lasts another two seconds before her expression changes to a perky smile, and she looks down at the Pokemon.]]

Well, if I am alone, perhaps that could mean that this is the big puzzle I'm destined to solve! The professor did mention something like that for himself, so why not for me! I can use this as training to become the best assistant he's ever had!

My first challenge, however, will be unraveling the mystery of you...whatever you are...

[[-and her focus shifts once again to the Machop, who promptly cries happily and kicks her arm!]]

Ow! What was tha-....ooh, do you...you want to fight?

...

[[Congratulations, you are now being treated to the (albeit distorted) sight of a woman sparring with a Machop! Emmy appears to have forgotten she's left the PGC on; she's too busy laughing and combatting Machop's strikes with practiced ease. Feel free to interrupt, although be prepared to yell; they're rather involved with their 'battle'!]]

Goldenrod City....I'll remember that!

I...wow, if you really are 'future Luke'....I can't wait to meet you!

[[HER POOR HEAD, OH GOD]]

[HE REALLY ISN'T FUTURE LUKE... BUT DETAILS...]

I'm looking forward to it, as well. I haven't seen you in almost a decade.

[WELL ACTUALLY THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY'VE EVER MET IN THEIR LIVES, BUT AGAIN, DETAILS...]

Wha....three years?! That's...it's not possible, it was only last week!

[identity profile] snapandscoot.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[[OH GOD STOP TROLLING HER SOB]]

A decade....

...what happened to me, then?
puzzling: (fight till the end)

[personal profile] puzzling 2011-12-16 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid that time here in Johto does not matter as it may grab whoever it may please. Lando here is from about twenty years into my past and Big Luke is about ten years into my future. The Luke that you know is also from my time, three years ahead from your time.
explosivecombat: (I like the way you think)

[It's a common typo.]

My, my. You certainly are an interesting one, Miss Altava.

[[OH GOD THIS IS GETTING CONFUSING]]

How do you manage to keep up with all that, Professor?!

[identity profile] snapandscoot.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll take that as a compliment, Mr Kimblee, and return the feelings! I look forward to meeting you face to face!
puzzling: (what's that ahead?)

[personal profile] puzzling 2011-12-16 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ IT'S LIKE A PUZZLE!! ]

I do write it down in my journal to help me keep track of it all. You will get used to it all once you have been here as long as Luke and I have.

[identity profile] snapandscoot.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[[IT DOES REMIND HER OF ONE, YES....]]

....how long have you been here, Professor?
puzzling: (.....)

[personal profile] puzzling 2011-12-16 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ 99 PICARATS. SOLVE IT RIGHT NOW ]

A year and some months. My birthday has passed twice during my stay so I am now 39 years old. [ Nope, not 34 anymore! ]

[[FMLLLLLLL CAN SHE HAVE A HINT COIN]]

....that long?! Does...does that mean there's no way to leave?
puzzling: (up the tower we go)

[personal profile] puzzling 2011-12-16 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ NO. HINT COINS ARE FOR LITTLE PANSIES ]

Fortunately, there is a way to return back home, but it is by completely random choices. In fact, you have left Johto twice. This is your third return.
explosivecombat: (Don't worry; it's nothing personal)

[personal profile] explosivecombat 2011-12-16 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Likewise, Miss Altava. Until then, enjoy yourself.

[Aaaaaaaaand with that, the video feed will just be shut off!]

[HE WILL NEVER STOP TROLLING HER!!]

I'm... afraid that I can't really recall the details. The fact that I'm running purely on cold medicine right now isn't really helping my memory, either...

[He even got the time frame wrong... It's been over a decade, not almost a decade. God, Clive, you need to go back to sleep right now.]

[identity profile] snapandscoot.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[[STOP MAKING THE PUZZLE HARDER OTL]]

But I swear I've never been here before! Not in my life!
puzzling: (Phoenix - WITCHES)

[personal profile] puzzling 2011-12-16 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ BUT THE ASSISTANT OF THE GREAT PROFESSOR LAYTON SHOULD BE ABLE TO SOLVE THIS SIMPLE PUZZLE ]

Yes, that is a common occurrence for those who return to Johto without any memory of it before. Big Luke does not remember his previous stay here as well. It's rather quite confusing.

[...What did he just witness...]

[Then again, that's his reaction to pretty much everything on this network. A cheery girl who doesn't seem to care that much about waking up in a strange new world filled with chimera-things really isn't all that big of a deal in comparison to some of the things he's seen. Like cats hatching from eggs, or a flaming chicken that mauled all his chimeras.]

[...Anyway.]


That's certainly an interesting way to attempt to raise it.

[Archer is clearly indoors, though the room he's in is bland and unremarkable. If you look closely you might see a cat's tail pop into the shot every now and then; he has the Meowth out on the bed, of course.]

[[What's this? A person in the machine? BRB RUSHING OVER TO IT ow Machop please don't kick me]]

Ah, is it? I hope I'm not doing something wrong!

[identity profile] snapandscoot.livejournal.com 2011-12-17 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
[[OH GOD YES SHE SHOULD BRB IDENTITY CRISIS]]

Well, I....I'm sorry Professor, but I simply can't recall anything about Johto! This must be very confusing for you; I'm sorry.

[identity profile] snapandscoot.livejournal.com 2011-12-17 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
[[YOU JUST WAIT LUKE, YOU JUST WAIT!!!]]

Ah, of course! Silly me, I should let you rest and recover! I need you to be at full strength when I move to reclaim my rightful position as Assistant No. 1!
vengefulyears: (hey professor wanna have sex)

[personal profile] vengefulyears 2011-12-17 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[HEHEHEHEH]

Yes, I suppose I should get some more sleep now. It was nice talking to you, Emmy.
puzzling: (Enjoying a nice cup of tea)

[personal profile] puzzling 2011-12-17 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ AND SHE CALLS HERSELF LAYTON'S NUMBER ONE ASSISTANT ]

No need for apologies. It is just good to see you once again. [ Even if it has only been a few weeks. ]

[VIDEO]

[That... looked like it hurt, ow.]

These creatures are capable of causing serious injuries. I would be careful if I were you.

[Though honestly he'd never engage one of these things in a fight in the first place, so! There isn't much of an issue there!]

I'm not familiar with this species, but it looks as though it would be capable of severely injuring you if it wants to.

[Though... it doesn't really look like it wants to. Hmm. It probably wasn't found in the wild then!]

[identity profile] snapandscoot.livejournal.com 2011-12-19 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Severely injuring me? That doesn't sound good....

[[She casts a somewhat concerned look at Machop, who pouts.]]

Would you ever do that to me, Machop?

[[Furious headshake!!!]]

Well, I think that's sorted, then! But thank you for the warning, Mr...?
