canthearyou: (BONZAI LIKE IN WWII BANZAI)
[Gordon’s in Violet City finally, but that might be hard to tell at first. His yelling’s probably doing a good job of covering up the background music.]

THIS IS REALLY SOMETHING ELSE. I HAD HEARD THESE THINGS COME FROM EGGS, BUT I HADN’T SEEN IT HAPPEN UNTIL JUST NOW. I’M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS OR WHY THIS EGG WAS DELIVERED TO ME, BUT IT HATCHED.

[In trying to work the Gear, he might’ve ordered an egg under the Breeding Centre’s newbie deal. He knows buttons were pushed and yelling happened, and then eventually an egg was delivered, but the specifics of the conversation are mostly a mystery to Gordon.]

I KNOW IT’S NOT A CAT. IT HAS BLONDE HAIR, AND A PURPLE FACE. ALSO IT SEEMS TO FALL DOWN A LOT. IT DOESN’T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THE OTHER POKEMON I HAVE. DOESN’T LOOK LIKE A WHISMUR OR A KRICKETOT.

[He’s been working with the pokédex while out on Route 30. Thankfully, it has text display, so he was able to actually find out what his Pokémon are called.]

I WONDER IF THAT ENCYCLOPEDIA HAS INFORMATION ON THIS THING.

[The pokédex unfortunately has the read aloud function enabled, so Smoochum’s entry is getting broadcast across the PokéGear Connect at maximum volume.]

IT DOES. IT JUST HATCHED BUT EVERYTHING IS IN HERE. THAT’S AMAZING!

[And then quiet. For a couple of minutes at least.]

WOW! DID ANYONE ELSE SEE THAT? A BUNCH OF BIRDS JUST FLEW BY IN FORMATION. KINDA REMINDS ME OF THE BLUE ANGELS. WHICH ALSO REMINDS ME THAT I NEED TO CALL A CAB. NOT NOW THOUGH. I’VE TAKEN A TEMPORARY JOB IN THE CITY, SO THAT COMES FIRST. BUT SOON.

[He’s just going to assume that the right people will understand that and end the call there. Not to worry, he’s not actually expecting a black and yellow taxi to show up.]

ALSO, MADE IT TO TOWN LAST NIGHT, REID. TOOK ME TEN DAYS TO GET HERE.

[He got turned around a few times.]

I DON’T KNOW IF THAT’S HOW LONG IT NORMALLY TAKES OR NOT.

[And that’s the end of the feed!]
canthearyou: (WHAT? INDOOR VOICE? NEVER HEARD OF IT)
[Even though some very nice people explained to Gordon how to use the text function on his Gear, he still has it set to audio. In addition to his voice, there’s Pokémon Center music in the background, as well as the sounds of the storm outside.]

ALBERT? COOPER? IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, THIS IS GORDON COLE. I’VE BEEN IN CHERRYGROVE FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS, AND I UNDERSTAND THERE’S ANOTHER TOWN SOME DISTANCE FROM HERE, BUT I’M UNABLE TO HEAD OUT DUE TO THE WEATHER. IN FACT, I’M GLAD I MADE IT HERE BEFORE THESE STORMS HIT BECAUSE THEY DON’T SEEM TO BE LETTING UP ANY TIME SOON.

ALSO, I’VE FOUND OUT WHAT MY, WHAT ARE THEY CALLED AGAIN, POKEMON? I THINK THAT WAS IT. WHAT MY POKEMON DOES! APPARENTLY, IT MAKES A LOT OF NOISE. I CAN HEAR IT PERFECTLY WHEN IT DOES THAT, BUT I’VE BEEN ASKED BY THE PEOPLE HERE TO KEEP IT FROM DOING THAT WHILE INDOORS. I’LL HAVE TO SHOW YOU SOME OTHER TIME.

[So thankfully, everyone is spared from Whismur using Uproar or yelling until it passes out. For now.]

FURTHERMORE, I’D LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO PROVIDED ADVICE AND EXPLANATIONS THE OTHER DAY. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. DON’T THINK I WOULD’VE MADE IT HERE WITHOUT YOUR HELP. THANKS. ALSO.

[Gordon pauses, then says the next sentence very carefully and deliberately. It clearly means something, though since he just thought of the code the other day; it probably won’t make sense to anyone.]

ALSO, SIX MINUTES AGO SOMEONE LEFT THE RESTAURANT WITHOUT PAYING.

[And then the last bit before the call ends isn’t related to the above code at all. Just Gordon thinking about things.]

SURE WERE A LOT OF OWLS ON THAT ROAD AT NIGHT TOO. I’VE NEVER SEEN SO MANY IN ONE PLACE.
canthearyou: (I AM CALLING YOU FROM PORTLAND...OREGON)
HELLO! IS THIS THING ON? CAN YOU HEAR ME?

[The voice speaking appears to be yelling as loudly as possible into the receiver, and sounds a little confused about his current situation.]

I’VE NEVER SEEN A PHONE LIKE THIS, SO I’M NOT SURE IF THIS CALL IS EVEN GOING OUT. IF ANYONE CAN HEAR THIS, I THINK I’VE BEEN KIDNAPPED. IT’S THE DAMNDEST THING THOUGH. I DON’T REMEMBER BEING KIDNAPPED. OR MY MOTHER LOOKING LIKE THAT! ALSO, WHAT KIND OF KIDNAPPING COMES WITH A FREE PET?

[There’s a brief pause before the silence is broken by more yelling.]

THOUGH I’M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THIS THING IS. IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE ANY ANIMAL I’VE EVER SEEN. SEEMS PRETTY QUIET TOO. THEN AGAIN, THE MYSTERY PET ISN’T REALLY THE PROBLEM HERE. IF ANYONE IS RECEIVING THIS PLEASE SAY SOMETHING AND LET ME KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON. OR TELL ME HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH SOMEONE WHO DOES. PREFERABLY THE POLICE OR THE NEAREST FIELD OFFICE. TELL THEM REGIONAL BUREAU CHIEF GORDON COLE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU.

[After hanging up, or at least thinking he’s hung up, Gordon puts the phone away and kneels down to take a closer look at his Whismur. Yelling at it doesn’t seem to be doing anything besides freaking it out, so if anyone wants to try and prevent the volume level going even higher, now might be the best time to step in.]
