[As the feed starts, viewers are greeted to a close up of a green face.



It's just a Metapod, chillin' there. It's only until the person recording speaks that it becomes obvious who this Metapod belongs to - and he doesn't sound very amused.]

What the hell happened to my Caterpie?

[At least he's straight to the point. Despite doing some research, this is his first pokémon to evolve and he isn't quite sure what to make of it or why it happened.]

Alright. But I gotta warn you, history's not my best subject. So I can only give the basics.

The Cold War was a sustained state of tense relations between USA and...USSR? About preparing for a possible war using nuclear weapons.

[captainash]

You have a lot to look forward to, then.

What's wrong with this place?

Re: video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

Hell If I know.

[otakon_geek]

Well, I always try to be careful. Yet, you did openly admit to me about your nature just now.

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

Mm. They're companionable.

[And non-judgmental.]

Why their preferred passtime is knocking one another out, I doubt I will ever understand.

[majorcrotchgrab]

As I said earlier: Who's to say I wasn't just messing with you?

[video]

[majorcrotchgrab]

I wonder if I'll still be around for when people start living on other planets...

voice

[majorcrotchgrab]

It seems more like a trainer thing than the pokemon's normal behavior.

[Video]

[majorcrotchgrab]

[He nods]

You are correct. Good to know there's only been one Cold War.

[video]

[captainash]

You could always get put into cold sleep, if you want to be sure.

[video]

[majorcrotchgrab]

We don't have that kind of technology yet.

[video]

[captainash]

...That does reduce your chances of seeing the fun parts of space exploration, somewhat.

[envy_the_sinners]

People tell me that they enjoy battling. None of mine seem to care one way or another about it... I wonder if it is only an idea created by people.

[Though, there are people who enjoy fighting, so he supposed there could be Pokémon with similar feelings.]

[video]

[majorcrotchgrab]

Yeah. And I can't rely on anyone else's world history since we all come from different universes...

voice

[majorcrotchgrab]

Mine are the same way. They aren't really competitive.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was originally a human's idea though.

[video]

[captainash]

Except for a few particular cases, but they seem more the exception than the norm.

[video]

[majorcrotchgrab]

Like those from the same world?

[Waaiiitt a minute... There are people here from his world here. He's more than positive Snake is, if not from the future. He'll have to pester him if he ever gets curious.]

[video]

[captainash]

From the same world, sometimes even from the same time. You'd think the odds for that would be pretty low.

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

It is strange... Such a practice would be heavily frowned upon, in my home world. Animal fighting is an underground sort of activity. I suppose it is different because Pokémon cannot kill each other.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Then that means we're both from similiar versions of earth. There haven't been another Cold War since then, and I'm from 2009.

[Video]

[majorcrotchgrab]

There's another way to narrow things down.

Did you ever hear of a Russian war hero called "Thunderbolt?"

[video]

[majorcrotchgrab]

Yeah...

... Do people who've died show up here?

voice

[majorcrotchgrab]

Yeah... Same in my world.

It is a bit odd that they just end up fainting. Can they actually die...?

[video]

[captainash]

...Yeah, they do. Even little kids, sometimes.
