Room 006 [Action/ Video]
[ACTION]
[It's evening and the world is sun is sinking. Somewhere along Route 30, there is a rattled looking youth crouching in a ditch. He's got a frybasket in one hand and a poke'gear in the other. What's got him so interested is the culvert passing under the path. It's big, rusty, and full of standing water. And round. It looks like a hole. Henry is a man who knows all about holes.]
Oh, man...
[VIDEO]
[BEHOLD, JOHTO...a ditch. There's a Rattata snuffling around the far end of it with a candy bar wrapper in its teeth. The fry basket comes into view to point out the culvert. As if you didn't know what you were looking at.]
I found a hole. I'm going to tape this in case I disappear.
[He sounds more motivated about this than anything else he's spoken about so far besides beating colorful magic animals senseless with blunt objects. He puts the 'gear in his shirt pocket and starts crawling through the muck LIKE A BOSS. We see Henry's hands and occasionally his knees as he makes his way over broken sticks and trash.]
[Suddenly, an eerie sound enters the culvert.]
HOOT-HOO-HOOOOT
[BLAIRE WITCH SHAKEY TIME AWH YEAH. Henry hauls ass out of the culvert, faceplants, and manages to turn around to give his little camera a grainy, split-second look at this--

I dunno...if I found the way out, I sure wouldn't come back to put up signs.
[He had an evil not-ghost to destroy!]
[action]
Still, you'd think there'd be warnings like "WATCH OUT, PEOPLE DISAPPEAR WHEN THEY WALK IN THIS SEWER" or something. Think about how many people other than just you wanna get home that bad.
There'd probably be lines forming as soon as anyone found out where a way out was.
[Mordecai shakes his head and gives a bit of a laugh.]
Especially after the flood and the bugs. I'm almost expecting hail or for everyone's starter to just keel over or something.
[...Well. THAT was surprisingly morbid. Either way, by this point Mordecai has paced around the pipe enough to look at the route ahead of him.]
Listen. Some of the other folks here seem convinced that we're trapped in a video game, and if that's the case, then the only way out is through, dude.
[action]
I played Pokemon when I was a kid.
[Suddenly, the photographer gives Mordecai his full attention.]
What do you think happens if we die here?
[action]
Well, it's still us, right? It's not like it's just our consciousnesses, or like we're playing the game on a GameBox. No, it's a real world that seems t'be the game. So I figure if we die, we're dead.
[A long pause and then a serious look.]
All the more reason to not randomly stick your head in every sewer pipe you see, dude.
[action]
I see what you mean...
[A thought finally comes to him, several moments after the topic has passed.]
What are you doing out here?
[action]
[action]
[ 8C WHAT DO, NOW?]
[action]
Well, we could always stick together. It's apparently even farther from Cherrygrove to the next town than it was to get to Cherrygrove, so if nothing else, sticking near each other means that if that freaky stalker-owl is really stalking you, I could help you chase it off.
And, heh, who knows. Maybe your idea that it's some weird hole that gets us out of here will pay off.
[action]
Mordecai seemed pretty cool. He knew all about blunt weaponry. Plus he hadn't tried to kill him yet, didn't have a broken arm, and seemed to know a lot more about this place than he did.
Right before said blank stare stretches into awkwaaaaard territory, the photographer pipes up.]
Okay!
[You even get a smile, Mordecai!]
