hawksandbullets | 001 [Video | Action for Route 29]

[The feed opens up to Riza, but the view is unsteady. She’s frowning at the devise, unaware that she’s broadcasting. The technology she’s used to isn’t exactly up to par with the kind she has to deal with now. A Pidgey can be seen on her shoulder, though the view quickly changes to show the ground. Riza’s walking somewhere.]

I guess there’s no point in trying to call anyone. Not if everyone’s like the rest of the people in that town.

[She huffs in frustration and continues walking. The Pidgey chirps a bit, but for a while, everything’s pretty uneventful. At least, until Riza comes to a large clump of tall grass. She sudden;y stops as she meets up with a mean little Rattata. She tries to walk around it, but it keeps stepping in front of her. She reaches to where she would normally keep a pistol on her, but grabs nothing. That’s right, they’re gone…]

Do you want to get hurt?

[Riza tries to step over it, but the purple rat just jumps up and grabs on to her leg and sinks its teeth into her leg. Riza cries out and reaches down to grab its tail to throw it off of her. Meanwhile, her Pidgey flies off her shoulder and confronts the Rattata.]

Damnit! [Riza had read the pamphlets, but the whole thing seemed more than a little cruel to her. Still, her bird seemed ready to fight that thing of its own free will…

Riza brings the Pokégear back up, still unaware of the recording as she tries to find that thing where it listed names of attacks.]

Use Sand-attack!

[The Pidgey obeys, though it can’t be seen on the screen. It’s focused on Riza’s face, though everything can still be heard.]

Now tackle it. Good job!

[It isn’t long until Riza lets out an exasperated sigh and the Pidgey returns triumphant. As Riza takes a seat, she sets the Pokégear on the ground where it shows Riza’s bleeding leg. She digs in her bag to find an extra shirt which she rips to bandage herself up. The Pidgey is on the ground next to her looking a little concerned.]

Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine.

[She strokes the Pidgy’s head and it nuzzles her back.]

You’ll be needing a name, won’t you? How about Kittyhawk?

[A happy chirp. The Pidgey’s just happy that she’s getting a name.]

Kittyhawk it is then.

[Riza’s able to get up and she picks up the Pokégear, now realizing that a little light is on. Kittyhawk returns to her perch on Riza’s shoulder.]

What’s this-

[The feed cuts as Riza hits a button.]

[Oh wow, hey look, there's someone Winry should recognize here, on this video post... thing~! Surprised Winry is extremely surprised.]

[Unlike Winry, Alphonse had been thoroughly distracted involving his two metal pokemon, one of whom had apparently decided that the other, much larger one, was a snack, and thus had missed the entirety of Riza's accidental broadcast until it was complete and he had a moment to check his gear.

Then he found himself very, very surprised. Still, it was a much more pleasant one than last time he'd seen someone from the military, as this time it was someone on his side of events at least. And she was looking well too!

...Unlike Alphonse whose long hair was neatly pulled back with longer side bangs falling into his face, and was far, far too skinny. He was a bit better than when he'd arrived, of course, his bones no longer prominent, but he still looked like he should eat more than he was.]

First Lieutenant Hawkeye! Hello! Did you just arrive?

Are you sure you're going to be alright? That looked like a pretty nasty bite!

[John looks mildly concerned. I mean it's not everyday you see somebody get ACTUALLY attacked by a wild Pokémon like that.]

Oh um, for the record though, not all of use are like the natives! There are a bunch of us here who came from other worlds, just like you. And we have the tendency to be slightly more helpful about things, hehehe.

Tch. If you have physical strength, it's easy to fight off those rats. They're rather weak to physical strength, so a strong kick or a stomp should knock 'em out. [ Tsunade also has the pain tolerance of a bison so. But, hello, Riza. Here's a woman that looks like she's in her late seventies with a tentacool on her head. No one ever said she was perfect. ]

They won't let you pass though. So you have to work with your pokémon to get rid of them.

[Lee looks faintly amused.]

Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The town that the Wright brothers chose as the base for testing the first controlled powered airplane back in 1903. I almost named my starter Orville - after one of the Wrights.

...I'm gonna guess the reference wasn't intentional, though.

[Not everyone is a history nerd like you, Lee. And not everyone is from America, either.]
