Taking Responsibility.

[kingmakereffect]

And a while after that strange, dark floor is accessed, after you've had time to look things over and get some idea of what's happening...well. There won't be any sort of official announcement to tell you to get downstairs, nor will there be a personal invitation for you to do so. Instead, the doors at the end of the corridor (were they there before? You find that you don't remember. It doesn't matter anymore, though-) slide open, as they always do, and the elevator ride to the courtroom is probably the first familiar thing that's happened all day. It's smooth and quick, though it seems to take a bit longer than it usually does. And when the doors open at the end of the line, the courtroom looks different. The dark, weirdly cylindrical room is largely the same in and of itself, but the usual twenty-seven podium circle is gone; instead, there's a smaller setup in the center of the room - ten podiums total, and you'll likely find the way your spots have been distributed to be very familiar indeed. Of further notice is the balcony - there's a structure that wasn't there before in view of the courtroom, situated high above, barred-in by a railing that'd probably be at about waist-height on your average person; there's no one up there just yet, however. There are so few of you now. It seems that today there are no speeches to give; maybe the Kingmaker is absent, maybe he just doesn' have anything to say. Either way, however, the implication in the fact that you're here at all is clear. For one last time, make the guilty take responsibility.

[Bruce hands it over.]

It's nothing like what my own world would have, so I'm pretty stuck myself.

[Can you make it work, Colress...]

Mods...?

[Once it's in his hands, he silently examines the exterior first, inspecting how it opens and everything.

He'll go ahead and power it on. Thank goodness it can actually turn on!

While it may not be super useful information for what's going on, is there at least any information at all inside?]

[trustharder]

[There's a lot of the Johto/Kanto pokemon in there, as well as a massive amount of Legendaries. Like. An alarming amount of Legendaries.]

[pokexplorer]

[Sweet Arceus whose Pokedex even is this.]

I thought as much...

[Colress finally speaks up, looking up from the device.]

This is a Pokedex. It is not from Unova, however. It appears to be an older model from another region.

[He frowns, really conflicted about the discovery.]

That means that others from my world have been brought here as well...

[cherryblooded]

...So multiple people coming from the same world isn't uncommon.

[Sorry, Bruce. Especially sorry, Colress.]

[pokexplorer]

Apparently not.

[He's just going to wonder how many PokeWorlders have been forced into murdergames now.

If only the anchor was actually familiar to him.]

[amygdalae]

[Sorry, Colress...]

Would you say they're still in production - or available - where you come from?

[pokexplorer]

That I cannot say for certain. Each region's Pokedexes are different in design, and I am much more familiar with Unova's.

I do recall seeing something similar to this some years ago...but I am not sure if they are still in production or if a newer model has completely replaced it.

[amygdalae]

[Hmmmm.]

It's at least still something to keep in mind.
