Envious One

[This 'Gear feet is a video, but it's so dark you wouldn't be able to tell. It's clearly an accident, so maybe it's just that the device is in Envy's coat pocket. Or it could just be that dark where he is. Either way, viewers will be able to hear the sounds of scuffling and Envy exclaiming quietly.]

--quit stepping on my feet!

Oh, that was you. Sorry, I thought it was some rope! [This voice is low and seems genuinely apologetic, and some might recognize it as belonging to Miguel.]

[Someone else speaks up now, voice hissing. This one is easily recognizable as Tulio.] Be quiet!

What're you so worried about, nobody's going to hear us.

Well they will if you keep up with all that-- that cacaphony.

Sshh sshh sshh! I hear something!

[All three of them go quiet now, so anyone listening to this feed will now be able to hear the sound of…waves? It sounds like these three are on a boat. There's also the sound of creaking footsteps walking by wherever they are, and it's not until a minute or two after the footsteps passed by that they finally exhale.]

I hate boats.

[There's a few moment's pause.]

…how long will this trip be?

…a few days, I think.

Oh, great.

We have to hide in here for days?

At least it's not a month…

[There's some more sounds of shifting before the 'Gear feed gets knocked off again.]

[ooc: Green for Envy, red for Miguel, and blue for Tulio! As this is a joint post, all three of them will be replying to tags.]

[It's been a while since the network last got any broadcasts from Envy's 'Gear; just a day shy of a month since he woke back up in Johto kicking and screaming. He's spent that time getting re-used to the world, getting used to being human and to everything that comes with it all over again. It was easier to manage this time, even after being gone a year, and he's not sure if he likes thinking about that.]

[But when the 'Gear turns on, it's not pointed at Envy's face, but up at the sky and the treetops. From the lack of buildings and the forest, it looks like he's out walking just outside of Ecruteak. The camera's following the flying form of a smaller-than-average Tropius as she wheels and skims along the treetops as fast as her leafy wings can propel her and actually looking oddly graceful for such an un-aerodynamic creature. She backwings right in the sight of the camera, neck arched like a question mark, and peers down at her trainer before she's off in another direction again. But she did stop long enough for viewers to catch sight of the little blue Riolu perched on the top of her head, looking perfectly secure in her footing. Apparently this is far from the first time the two Pokemon have done this.]

I still don't know how something looking like that can even fly at all.

[And there's Envy. The camera lingers on the flying pair for a moment longer before he turns the camera to himself. He's sitting on the back of his Tyranitar while Chimera lays out and enjoys the sun, so he's looking a bit farther off the ground than usual. Envy looks a far cry from the raging, wild-eyed person who woke up a month ago; he's back to looking composed and neat and just a little smirkish. Adjusted back into Johto? Mostly. Forgotten the reason why he was so angry? Hell no.]

There's something I've been wondering about, and I figured I might as well try the network. Does anyone happen to come from a world with a place called…'London', I think it was? I don't know anything more than the name, but--

[He's interrupted by a pair of loud, startled cries from up in the air, and the video tilts and wobbles crazily as Envy jumps up and off Chimera's back and lets the arm holding it fall to his side.] Damn it, Izumi--!

Watchers might be able to catch the remnants of a bright glow coming from somewhere above the screen before they'll see that Tropius make an extremely ungraceful, skidding landing in the dirt, along with a newly evolved and newly very dusty Lucario. Turns out that suddenly carrying a much bigger passenger while in the middle of some fancy flying trick does terrible things for your balance. Envy's already walking over to the pair of them, but they're getting to their feet and look like their only injury was to their pride. The now-Lucario barely even looks like that's the case, more concerned with looking over her evolved form with a mix of wonder and smugness.]

Heh, I was wondering when you'd evolve, Samus. [Envy sounds almost proud of her, and gives the fur on her head a ruffle with his free hand. Izumi makes an indignant noise and butts her head against his side to demand attention too. Envy sighs and relents, ending the feed to free up his hand before he winds up getting knocked over by a flying bananasaur.]

[Envy switches the video on to show himself sitting in what look like some of the higher branches of a tree, although not so high that he's in danger of his perch breaking. Someone is obviously enjoying the sun and warm weather Johto is having right now.]

[But while he looks to be in a good mood, there's also something he's been thinking about. Namely that he was informed of some events from his future by one Roy Mustang. Events that aren't going to end well for him. And while he'd prefer to think that Roy is just lying about it, it's still not something he'd like to chance. So, Johto, Envy has a question for you.]

Hey, for anyone that sees this. Say you found out about something from your future while you were here. Do you think it's possible to change it?

[When the camera first comes on, it's a little difficult to even see what's going on in the thick snow and the dark. But there are three figures huddled against the wind, and the shortest of these is the one holding the camera. Although it's a little hard to tell who it is under the hood of his coat, a quick readjust of the camera to be closer puts Envy, as well as his two travelling partners that some might recognize as Miguel and Tulio, at a better angle. None of them are looking too good.]

H-hey… [He gives the camera a strained grin, teeth chattering too much to be at all convincing.] We c-could use so-ome h-help, if anyone's a-around Route 34. I t-think we're about…halfway t-to Goldenrod? Not m-much cover from the wind out h-here.

[The pokegear turns on to show a scowling face. He's shivering quite a bit due to his completely impractical outfit, which hasn't improved his mood at all]

--is thing supposed to be a phone? Hey, whoever's on the other end of this, what the hell is this place? Where can I find that old man?

Laaarvitar!

[the camera drops as Envy loses interest in it in favor of kicking at a happy looking Larvitar, who was nudging at his leg affectionately. The little pokemon doesn't seem to mind or even feel the kick, just coming right back to him after it's gotten back to its feet] Hey, I told you to get the hell out of here, stupid thing. What the hell kind of chimera are you anyway? [he turns his attention back to the 'gear, the image going all kinds of Cloverfield as he shakes the device and pushes buttons in an atempt to figure out what to do with it.]
