[025] Video/Action Ecruteak (Burned Tower)

[gochuugoku]

[Good evening, Route, tonight China can be found within the Burned Tower. He's stepping along the floorboards carefully, so they won't collapse under his weight. China's voice can be heard off camera.]

This is where the three Pokemon were resurrected by the legendary Ho-Oh, aru... I wonder where they are n--Wa!

[One of the boards collapses under China's foot with a loud noise, causing him to stumble.]

Everyone who goes in there runs into broken floorboards and falling.

Doesn't quite seem worth it for the charred remains of something that isn't there anymore.

[video]

But it has so much history, aru! Besides, I've never been inside until now and I wanted to see where Ho-Oh used to live.

[video]

[justicereigns]

What is with everyone's obsession with that bird?

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

It's a legendary, aru! Who would not want to see it for themselves? It's probably the most powerful Pokemon so far!

[China's all smiles.]

[video]

[justicereigns]

You think so?

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

If it could bring three Pokemon back to life, then yes, aru!

[video]

[justicereigns]

If. Assuming it could even be found and caught anyway. Besides, it sounds like a phoenix and that's now how they work.

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I have no intention of catching it, aru. I just want to see it with my own eyes at least once!

Now that you mention it, it does, doesn't it? In the artists' drawings it looked like one too, aru.

[video]

[justicereigns]

Except it's red.

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Hm? Isn't a phoenix supposed to be red, aru?

[video]

[justicereigns]

I'm pretty sure they're blue.

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Why do you say that? Are they blue in your world, aru?

[video]

[justicereigns]

Well. One is. And he's the only one I know. It's like how Sengoku the only Buddha is golden.

[Why yes, his canon IS sacrilegious.]

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

You know a Phoenix?!

[video]

[justicereigns]

Not exactly. He was in the battle of Marineford. And I know of him.

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Oh? Does anyone happen to know where his dwelling place is, aru?

[video]

[justicereigns]

Moby Dick ship? He's a pirate. I don't remember all the islands previously under Whitebeard territory off the top of my head.

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Huh? Pirate? Whitebeard? I thought we were talking about a Phoenix as in the bird, aru.

[video]

[justicereigns]

Right. We are.

They're one and the same. Marco the Phoenix.

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Ah! So it's a man that can transform into a Phoenix?!

[video]

[justicereigns]

Yes. That is correct. In my world there's a curse known as devil fruit. That's his. Though some would argue that's not much of a curse.

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't consider such an ability to be a curse either, aru.

[He imagines what he could do if he had the same ability.]

What's the downside to devil fruit?

[video]

[justicereigns]

Drowning. Never being able to swim again, always weak to the ocean. It doesn't seem to have any effect in this place, which is the strangest of all.

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Oh, that would be a great disadvantage for a pirate or a sailor, aru.

It's because Johto takes away any special abilities upon arrival, I've also heard this place has brought over a few people who were dead before.

[video]

[justicereigns]

Correct it is.

And yes, it does... As well bring people here more than ten years apart from each other sometimes. It's still fucking bizarre.
