jikogisei[The video feature flicks on but it's completely black and is silent for a minute. Perhaps it was done on accident. But wait, no, that's not the case. There's a man's voice, unidentifiable except to those who know him. Either way, he sounds unamused.]
A world where you collect animals and let them do the fighting for you. Seems cruel. Or perhaps you just don't see it that way. Using creatures to collect ridiculous badges. What good will it do you when you leave this place? If you leave this world.
[Itachi pauses, silence fills the moment.]
How many of you still continue your own physical training as you level up your creatures? Would you be capable of taking down your enemy without the aide of your Pokemon? Would you be satisfied if you couldn't? [Yes, Sasuke. Those last two questions were specifically aimed towards you.]
It also appears that the dead walk among us. [Does he know about the other shinobi or simply referring to himself -- hard to tell. Some might not even recognize him by voice alone. So finally he shifts it around to reveal his face. Itachi doesn't have the hitae-ai sitting upon his forehead like usual and his surroundings are hard to pinpoint. The maroon cloak he's wearing doesn't help as it covers the rest of his clothes.]
[He sighs as if this is all a big bother or an annoyance.] I suppose it's only polite to introduce myself. My name is Uchiha Itachi.

I don't know if you really need to fight on your own. Everyone here battles with their own Pokémon. Though if I'd have to fight, I wouldn't stand a chance.

Date: 2013-04-26 07:38 pm (UTC)All of them. [Naruto would make friends with all of them.] I'm sure their names will come back to you in time.

Date: 2013-04-26 07:40 pm (UTC)You know the answer to that question.
[Video]
Date: 2013-04-26 07:48 pm (UTC)Interesting.
audio
Date: 2013-04-26 07:55 pm (UTC)[It is a common name in his world, there aren't many who don't know it.]
It is probably not a wise idea to depend on your Pokemon alone.

Date: 2013-04-26 07:57 pm (UTC)Were. You keep using past tense. [she shifts position, one eyebrow going up.] Something changed those plans of yours.
audio
Date: 2013-04-26 08:01 pm (UTC)[Not that knows that much about Obito or Sasuke, but he can guess, at least.]
Most likely not, but as long as I can avoid violence against other people, I'll avoid it.

Date: 2013-04-26 08:05 pm (UTC)My plans were not changed. They already happened. As I said, my brother is younger then the last time I saw him.
audio
Date: 2013-04-26 08:09 pm (UTC)[All Uchihas are related somehow.]
A pacifist then.
audio
Date: 2013-04-26 08:12 pm (UTC)[He wouldn't know though. Family things aren't good with him.]
You could say that. I mean, I've hit a guy a few times because I've been annoyed, but violence really isn't the answer.
Though I'm sure a lot of people here share your opinion.

Date: 2013-04-26 08:13 pm (UTC)Say hi to Bowser for me, then. Ask him if that Pokémon I blinded ever recovered, huh?
[And she disconnects. Rockets... of course. Anything further he says will go to her voicemail automatically, but she won't respond.]
[Video]
Date: 2013-04-26 08:28 pm (UTC)Of course I do. I know who to have face different opponents in a gym battle from their types and their strengths and weaknesses. But I trust them to be able to handle themselves while they're fighting.
audio
Date: 2013-04-26 08:53 pm (UTC)[Families are a tough subject for him.]
It's hard to practice what you believe when others are willing to resort to violence.
audio
Date: 2013-04-26 09:04 pm (UTC)I don't know. I haven't been in a situation where violence was needed while I've been, so I've been rather lucky.
[Video]
Date: 2013-04-26 09:13 pm (UTC)Be sure not to confuse trust with your inability to lead.
audio
Date: 2013-04-26 09:18 pm (UTC)Not yet.
Have you had an encounter with this Team Rocket I've heard about?
[Because somehow he doubts the Team would play fair.]
[Video | Locked]
Date: 2013-04-26 09:31 pm (UTC)Younger and different from the one you left behind. Don't expect him to react the way you want.
audio
Date: 2013-04-26 09:40 pm (UTC)Though even then, I didn't encounter violence.
[Even if they wanted to skin him alive in the end.]
[Video | Locked]
Date: 2013-04-26 09:46 pm (UTC)Even now, even with a world separating us for a period of time - I still know Sasuke.
[He's a mix of the anger that drove him to fight Itachi and the determination to learn the truth.]
audio
Date: 2013-04-26 09:54 pm (UTC)Lucky for you.
[Any information on Rocket would be useful to Itachi.]
audio
Date: 2013-04-26 10:07 pm (UTC)[Saying it like that, because he can't really admit that out loud since it wouldn't be wise. However, he can offer advice; on Rocket things or just general Johto things, so - ]
Though if you have questions, I'll try to answer if I can. I've been around for over half a year, after all.

Date: 2013-04-26 10:19 pm (UTC)[And... Uchiha, huh? Riku won't mention he knows Sasuke just yet, but that's definitely got his attention. Hm...
Also, he looks older than the icons indicate-- 18 rather than 15.]
video; private
Date: 2013-04-26 11:40 pm (UTC)[He's... taking a pokeball out, and releasing whatever is inside it. Soon enough, there's a red-eyed crow sat on his shoulder.]
Can you guess what I called it?
video
Date: 2013-04-26 11:45 pm (UTC)What sort of training do you do?
[Seems his brother has a lot of allies. Not that Itachi knows Riku is one of them yet.]

Date: 2013-04-26 11:47 pm (UTC)[After all, it's important to be able to hold up in a fight even unarmed, and being able to last while running definitely helps, particularly when foes use the Pokémon like weapons.]
