Summary: Giotto had been through his fair share of strange things as a mafia boss, but this... This one surpassed them all. ( his starter is Growlithe )
Rating: PG
Log:

Giotto was crouched down facing the little creature in front of him. It was a curious thing that was for sure. It reminded him of a small dog, though it wasn't like any dog that Giotto had seen before. He chuckled as the thing got tired of staring back at him and pounced. "Well you certainly are affectionate." He commented scratching the animal behind the ears. If he remembered correctly it was called a Growlithe...

To be completely honest Giotto was still trying to figure out what was going on. He had woken up alone in a strange house, with some strange woman that said she was his mother. Now Giotto was sure that he had never seen her before, let alone be her son. BEsides, wasn't he a little old to be living with his mother? None the less Giotto's intuition told him the woman meant no harm, and he accepted her kindness playing into the role of her son. Things didn't get any clearer after leaving the house, but he tried not to show any of this on his face. It was a habit after years in the mafia to keep an easy smile on his face even when he was uneasy.

Sighing Giotto stood up, making the little creature stand on the ground again. Giotto bent and picked up the bag he had been given, before he started down the road, calling for the Growlithe to come along. Though looking down he smiled seeing that the little thing kept pace with him with out Giotto having to say anything. "Let's see what we can figure out about this place..." He said to

She's not sure if it was intentional or not, but as Katara was in the middle of feeding her Pokemon she suddenly got a lot of garbled friction on her gear, which Carla was playing with. She looked down to the baby Cubone in her lap and gently retrieved the gear from her in exchange for some food, patting her affectionately on the head.

Hitting the reply button she attempts to make contact with the darkness on the other end. "Hello? Is there someone there?"

Giotto stopped abruptly when he hard a muffled... was that a voice coming form his bag? Sliding it off his shoulder he walked over to the side of the road and started digging through the bag while talking to it. "Bags can speak now? Exactly what kind of place is this?" He asked to the bag, pure shock and confusion written all over his face. Maybe if he got it to talk again he could find the source of the voice.

His Growlithe same and sat next to him, head tilted to one side like he was wondering why exactly Giotto had stopped to dig through his bag...

His bag was laughing too, next. Katara had been in a similar position not long ago. So he came from a world with no technology either?

"Not your bag, exactly. There's a red and black object in there somewhere. I'm talking through that." She explained, watching as she thought she saw a hand coming into view. "Yeah! Right there!"

Giotto blinked, and searched through the bag until he found the described object. "Do all girls here talk through such strange objects?" He asked curiously as he turned the device over in his hands gently to look it over. He had never seen such a thing before, and couldn't even imagine the extent of what it could do. Though his intuition told him that it was important.

Katara chuckled again, light hearted. She'd had time to adjust to the different aspects of this place by now, and she was with her brother, or would be soon. It was easier to relax (though she did still worry about Aang and the others).

"It's what everyone uses to communicate here, at least when you're far away. It's called an 'electronic device', or more specifically it's called a 'Pokegear'. You're able to talk to me and see whatever I point it towards. See?"

She demonstrated, turning the camera towards Kishi, next to her, then back onto her smiling face.

"I'm in a place called Cherrygrove right now, and I think you're probably either in New Bark Town or on route twenty-nine. Either way I'm about a three day walk ahead of where you are now."

Unless he'd ended up in that other place, what was it? Mahogany town?

"My name is Katara."

Once he found the screen that has the girl on it Giotto stopped turning the pokegear. Assuming that the girl was now seeing his face as well Giotto smiled, "I see, how fascinating. There is nothing like this where I am from." He said. At the mention of where he was Giotto blinked and looked thoughtful, "I believe we saw a sign saying that this was Route 29..." He said before looking to his pokemon, who was ignoring him in favor of pouncing on... nothing?

Giotto shook his head and turned his attention back to the young lady he was talking to. "Katara? A lovely name." He complemented honestly. Unique too, Giotto wondered where it was from. "I go by Ieyatsu, it's a pleasure to meet you Katara." He said with a smile.

He was good looking, and had kind eyes, those were the first things Katara noticed. His hair was a bit wild, but she was seeing a lot more of that in Johto than she ever did back home.

Not to mention it was kind of hard to top Toph's bed head first thing in the morning.

"Yeah, we don't either. It took a while to get used to."

At the compliment Giotto would be treated to a blushing Katara, who tried to play it off with a sheepish sounding tone. "Thanks. Nice to meet you. So, Ieyatsu--" She gave the name a try, making sure she repeated it the way he'd pronounced before going on. "--I guess I'll be the first one to welcome you to Johto. I take it no one has explained anything to you yet?"

Giotto chuckled, "Yes you are. Johto is the country we are in then?" A small frown crossed his face for a moment. Giotto had never heard of a country with that name, he only hoped that no one here was mafia, or knew him from when he was the Vongola's Boss. Giotto shook his head, a smile back on his face as he added. "I haven't stopped and actually spoken with anyone about being here."

"Actually... This... may be hard to believe, but we're actually in an entirely different world."

Katara saw that frown, taking it to mean that like many others in Johto Ieyatsu had important things to worry about from home, or that being in an unfamiliar place was really just that distressing. It had been both for her, after all. Her expression grew serious, not quite grave, but serious.

"I don't think anyone knows how it's happened, but there are people from all over gathered here. Where my brother and I are from there's the North and South pole, Earth Kingdom, and Fire Nation. I spoke with a girl that said she was from the 'United States of America'. There's no place like that on any map back home, or here for that matter. From what I've been able to gather there is no rhyme or reason when we're brought here, either. Some people come from further into their friends' and family's time lines."

Like Tohru, who had given Katara Jet. She'd mentioned being from a point in time further ahead of her friends when Katara talked to her.

"Some people here weren't even HUMAN before they got to Johto."

Giotto blinked, "You are right, that's very hard to believe normally..." He said, though he sensed no lie from the girl, and he could hardly say that he was in Italy, or his new home in Japan. A startled look crossed Giotto's face at the mention that some people weren't human before being here, "That can happen?" He asked. What a strange world this was...

Katara couldn't help but chuckle at his reaction. "Sorry, you sound just like I did my first day here. But yeah, that can happen. I think I met one here as he was passing through. He talked like he wasn't used to having a mouth, or something, and when I asked him about it he only said that he 'finds the syllables quite pleasing'. Weird, huh?"

She gave him a look that communicated exactly that.

Giotto smiled again at Katara, "Well It's not like I can claim that you are lying to me. This certainly isn't my homeland." He said to her before blinking. "How odd... " He added thoughtfully. That was nothing he had ever heard of before now.

Giotto shifted his seated position as Growlithe pounced on him, briefly coming into view of the camera, before he was gently pushed away with a firm "No." The pokemon looked at him, and then turned off to chase something near by. Chuckling at it Giotto shook his head before he said, "You've been a great help to me, Katara."

Yes, yes, that was true wasn't it? Katara grinned. "Your Pokemon? I don't think I've seen that type before."

For a moment she looked pleased, just about to let him know she was happy to help when something Sokka said came back to her, and her eyes widened.

"Oh! I almost forgot! This thing we're talking on, it has a few other uses too. If you point it at Pokemon it'll tell you all about them, like what element they can control, and how strong they are. There's other stuff too, but it would take a while to explain it all and I'm still getting used to some of it myself. I didn't mean to talk your ear off, as it is." She admitted sheepishly, calming down. "You have a manual in your bag that will show you the ropes. Just make sure that you try to make your food last, that woman didn't really pack much for the trip and it's at least three days!"

Mother hen much? Yes, yes she was, and recently Katara had started to come around to the idea of embracing that fact.

Giotto chuckled, "Is that what they're called then? Pokemon?" He asked. He nodded at the information that Katara gave him about the pokegear. "Oh? I will have to figure it out before I set off again. Ah don't worry about it too much. I've dealt with many people who will talk for twice as long." He replied reaching into the bag for the manual with his free hand. "They usually wanted something from me as well." He added thoughtfully.

He laughed at Katara's mothering words, "Yes of course. I'm sure it will be fine." He said his voice reassuring.

"Yeah. That's what they're called." Katara confirmed with a grin. She rubbed her arm a bit with her free hand but nodded, though that note at the end was curious, and had her blinking with exactly that-- curiosity.

His reassurance seemed to have a positive effect, though. She almost hated to end the feed.

"Now that I've contacted you you should be able to reach me anytime. Call me if you need anymore help?" She offered, Kishi could be heard and then seen, trilling in the background, then peering over Katara's shoulder.

Giotto didn't respond to Katara's curiosity, instead nodding to her, "I will be sure to call if I need more help." He replied. "Likewise, if you need help with something please let me know." He offered.

"I will. It was nice to meet you, Ieyatsu. Good luck."

Katara smiled and waved at the camera a little, then finally cut the feed.
