[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.]

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.

[video]

[China pinches the bridge of his nose.]

It is. I have a friend who was originally from 2010 the first time he was here, but when he returned after a few months he was from 1940 all of a sudden, aru.

[video]

[justicereigns]

So time moves backwards?!

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Not all the time. Sometimes it moves forward too, aru.

[video]

[justicereigns]

I don't know about that...

Seems like the more people try to move forward here, the further behind they get.

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it is because they keep disappearing and then reappearing at a date past the one they were from the first time they came to Johto?

[video]

[justicereigns]

Possibly. But that's still rather backwards.

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

If that is the case, then I'm probably one of the very few who have been able to move forward in time, aru.

[video]

[justicereigns]

You have?

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I have been here since last October, but sometime around April I went into one of those comas, aru.
