Feather 1 [Video]

[ The feed clicks on to show one (1) ash-blond-haired teenaged boy grinning at the camera. ]

Good to know that it does work. [ He giggles, then actually addresses the (surely) eagerly-listening network. ]

Does anyone want to let me in on what's going on? I can't say that falling asleep then waking up in a different place is something I experience often, and when it is it's usually a certain someone's fault, but he doesn't seem to be around at the moment. So I suppose anyone who cares to answer this will have to do.

... Wait one second.

[ And the feed cuts. Joshua is going to walk over in that direction with Absol in his Pokeball, because he enjoys the element of surprise. Besides, it's not too bad a walk.

... It might still take him a bit though because he is not used to navigating Places That Aren't Shibuya and he needs to figure out which direction is "out". ]

[He'll wait. But only for a little bit so hurry up.

Joshua will find Neku just at the edge of town on the path. Neku doesn't even bother putting Eevee in his Pokéball, instead letting the Pokémon hang out in his shoulders while they wait. He's got his backpack on and he really was about to leave, so if Josh ends up taking a while Neku might start to get impatient.]

[ It's a good thing New Bark is small, so Neku won't be left waiting too long. As Joshua notices Neku, and specifically notices that Eevee, he giggles. ]

And here I was looking forward to a Pidgey.

I never said I had one, you just assumed that.

You also didn't say you didn't.

Excuse me for not playing the guessing game with you.

Hee hee.

It suits you.

...

[So, what. We're just going to keep acting like everything is normal.]

[ Yes. Yes we are. ]

Care for a Pokemon battle?

[No. No we're not.]

I have a few questions first.

[ ... Ooooh boy. ]

This was your challenge, you know.

And it got you here.

... Was that what this was about?

Not completely. I'm still going to battle you.

[And with that Eevee jumps down from Neku's shoulders, taking a few steps in front of him. With Eevee off his shoulders Neku sets his backpack down at his feet.]

[ Ah, what he wouldn't give to be able to teleport. Joshua takes out Absol's Pokeball and holds it. ]

Is this before or after the questioning?

After. [A beat.] You don't have anything to say for yourself?

Nope.

[...rrgh.]

You don't have anything to say. Nothing at all?

Congratulations.

Though that's not really for myself.

...I don't get it.

[He lost. Or won, depending on how you see it. But by him winning that means Shibuya should have been Erased. But... Joshua fixed everything. And he should have been Erased since he wasn't able to shoot and—

You... gave him a second chance. You gave them all a second chance. Not that he's complaining or anything, only wondering what happened. What really happened.]

"Congratulations" is what you usually say to someone who has done a good job or has had something good happen to them.

[Some things really never change. Ugh. He shouldn't be surprised, he knows he shouldn't, but a serious answer would have been nice for once. Especially after all... that.

Neku sighs, ducking his head down a little. Fine. Be that way.]

...

[ A serious answer to what question? Neku got a serious answer to the questions he asked. ]

Is that it?

There was one more, but I don't know if I want to bother.

[Looking back up to stare down at Joshua. Maybe they should just get on with this battle instead.]

How about you think it over while we battle, hmm?
