8 ❀ video
[The video opens up to a wintery forest landscape, high up in the air as the trees are small and the forest spreads out over the land like a small ocean. Light snow is making its way to earth and big flakes flutter right in front of the camera here and there.
But enough about the scenery because that's not important at the moment. What's really important is what the camera pans to moments later.
The shot pans to a large chair...which makes no sense because it's already been established that the video is been taken from high up in the air. But that chair is definitely there, and it's floating. Not only that, but there's definitely someone sitting in it. The chair lightly bobs up and down in with the winter breeze, and the chair's owner doesn't seem fazed at all by the fact that he's up so high in a floating chair. In fact, he almost seems contemplative as he nonchalantly leans against one of the chair's arms and gazes out toward the horizon.
He quickly snaps out of it though when he realizes the 'Gear is recording. He sits up properly and adjusts his winter attire to make sure he looks good for the camera. Coat adjusted? Check. Scarf in order? Check. Gloves pulled on tightly? Check.]
Oh good, you've managed to activate it. Excellent work, Belle and Cordelia.
[He clears his throat and proceeds.]
Hello, denizens of Johto. Or could this be Kanto? [He offers a shrug.] Such a mystery.
But the location doesn't matter. I have something very exciting to show you all. It's something I've been toying with since I arrived in this world, but I didn't have the proper resources to finish it until recently.
[He gently strokes the arms of his chair as he continues.]
However, I was remarkably blessed with a beloved possession of mine some months ago, so I didn't hesitate to continue this little project to completion.
Behold!
[He makes a small hand gesture to the 'Gear's operator, and the camera zooms out to show the chair in full view. It's definitely floating, no wires or anything. Dist spreads his arms wide and leans himself far back in the chair.]
I've finally properly replicated my mobile chair. It can move according to my will, and can handle distances as high as this and then some, without the need of a flying Pokemon to ride on. Yes, yes, I know how absolutely jealous you are.
Now, I could tell you how I'm achieving this, but that would ruin the effect. Though I'm curious how you all think my chair is capable of such a feat. Go on, take a guess! I do love when people try to piece together my magnificent creations.
[He smirks and leans back to his original position at the beginning of the video.]
But please, no idiotic guesses. Think before you speak.
[With a flick of his wrist, the video ends.]
[private to the Rocket frequency]
[But it doesn't completely end for Rockets! The scene is mostly the same, except now Dist has his feet firmly planted on the ground with the chair floating beside him.]
However, I'm feeling generous for all of you, because you never know, I may very well end up sharing this program with you at some point.
[He brings the 'Gear to the back of his chair where the secret of its flight is revealed: one Magnezone sits sideways in the middle of the chair's back, and two Magnemites are at its sides. They seem to be attached to the chair somehow.]
I've done some research into antigravity in this world, specifically this line's use of it. Now I'm using it to my advantage!
These Pokemon are attached by powerful magnets to keep them in place. Then...
[He moves back to the front of the chair to show off a control panel on the right arm of the chair.]
Using this panel, I send electronic signals straight through the magnets and into the Pokemon so they move according to the commands I input into the panel. The reaction is instantaneous, ensuring a smooth ride.
[He faces the camera straight-on, placing his hands behind his back and smirking the whole while.]
This program can be applied to many things, not just chairs of course, and I'm considering adding the Klink line into the program as well. This method of travel is not only efficient as it utilizes several Pokemon working together that can be swapped out when they begin to tire, but they also create almost no noise. The target will never know you're coming until it's too late.
[He allows himself to slide back into his chair.]
That said, comments and questions welcome. Praise is highly recommended, because let's be honest here, you cannot deny that this is going to help our missions immensely.
[He'll be eagerly awaiting your responses!]

Though I wouldn't dumb it down to simply calling it magic, if we were in my home world then yes, more or less. However, you wouldn't get full points as that is far too vague.
That said, "magic" is not the case here, so feel free to try again.
[He just smiles condescendingly after all of that. Wow, Dist.]
Thank you, thank you. You would be correct to assume that; I am a genius. As for it being a gift to myself...I suppose you could say that. I hadn't thought if it that way, but there's nothing wrong with the idea either. I only deserve the best gifts, after all.

[There was demonic summoning???? But Joker still isn't entirely sure what's up with that, besides the fact that it lead to him dying.]
But if it's not that... [Joker scratches his chin a bit, trying to think of the most advanced technology he knows of. Back in England, it wouldn't have been much but Johto has offered up a lot more ideas.] Steam powered, maybe? Nah, no steam. Maybe you figured out how those psychic types can do all their fancy tricks? Can't say I'm educated enough ta tell ya how it'd work, 'tho...
[He's really just throwing out whatever comes to mind.]
no subject
They're all valid guesses, but alas, you have yet to hit the mark. Utilizing Psychic types could produce similar effects, though it would require multiple Pokemon to hold up such a large object, and I would also need space for them to sit while they work. Not very efficient if you ask me.
no subject
Suppose that would be an issue, wouldn't it? But does that mean there aren't... I've gone and forgotten the proper word for it. What're the little metal fuel things but electric?
[Batteries. The word you're looking for is batteries, Joker.]
no subject
[He has to pause at the next bit to figure out what the hell this kid is talking about.
... Okay how do you forget what batteries are called.]
That would be batteries. You believe my chair is battery-powered? [Well...it's not wrong, but there's more to it than that.] And how do you suppose they would make my chair float?
no subject
That's it, thank you kindly. Maybe not the normal types, but are psychic batteries somethin' they have here? I mean, with the Pokeballs, it wouldn't be the strangest thing, would it?
no subject
[Levitation isn't limited to just Psychic-types is what he's trying to hint at here.]
no subject
[joker pls]
Do I get a hint?
no subject
[He's being such a hypocrite with his clue-giving.]
no subject
[Shrug!]
So, nothin' ta do with psychic types and nothin' ta do with batteries, right?
no subject
[The battery thing could be argued, but it really has nothing to do with the chair's flight at all.]
no subject
Well, does it have anythin' at all ta do with our Pokemon friends here? Arrived just a couple months ago, so I can't say I'm any kinda expert, but it doesn't seem like the strangest thing they could do, makin' a chair fly.
no subject
[So yes, basically.]
Pokemon can do amazing things, and they certainly don't let physics get in the way.
no subject
[Whups, cutting through the crap! However, Joker gives a relaxed shrug.]
Well, I'm afraid I'll hafta stop here. Still don't know too much about 'em, so if I continue, I'll just be shootin' inta the brown.
