X. [Fourth Wall Weekend! Video-Action for the Goldenrod Rocket base.]
[The light in Gorthan's room is dim, making the images all the more eerie.
The PokéGear's backlight reveals an orange bill attached to a large violet head with large blue sclera-only eyes, black eyelids closing around them as they become narrowed and peer into the feed with a judging stare. The clear giveaways are the blond dreadlocks and the silvery circular marking on the strange being's forehead - this is how Gorthan normally appears as an Evronian.
... Is it really Gorthan, though? While the Gorthan you probably know has two circles on his forehead - a smaller one on top of a larger one - this... being only has a single large one.
The Evronian speaks, and his voice is indeed, identical to Gorthan's. Only, perhaps, slower, slightly more poised, and with a certain ragged note about it, as if this being were much older than the Gorthan that Johto and Kanto have come to know.]
It figures that someone like you would keep an Eracolator. Given those books... Don't tell me you've read so much of their literature that you've become like them. Of course, having an Eracolator, per se, is not a bad thing. The great Zartas, the Beacon, the Invincible, had one of his own, where he would store the full extent of his powerful, infinite imagination. But what do you have that can compare to his greatness? Nothing, probably. You are nothing but treacherous scum.
[When the being turns his head to face the one he has been talking to, it becomes clear that...
... there are two violet alien ducks in the room. And both of them are Gorthan. The one who has not been speaking into the feed is lying on the floor, unconscious. They are each other's splitting image, except that the unconscious Evronian is wearing an earthling's clothes, while the standing Gorthan wears a large, flowing turquoise robe accenting his broad shoulders. The standing Gorthan looks down at his double with a mixture of contempt and sadistic amusement.]
You will learn, dear impostor who tried to steal my place as head of the Evronian army, that there exists no one who can trifle with Gorthan, the Warrior King.
[A large metal goblet, adorned with what seem to be precious gems and exhaling a column of glowing light blue smoke, appears into view as Gorthan lifts it to his bill. Upon closer inspection, there seems to be a dent in the cup, though it certainly doesn't seem to bother Gorthan. Who smirks, as a third being comes into view - Gorthan's Gallade.]
Right, creature?
[An identical smirk appears on the small lips of the Rocket-aligned Pokémon. To him, that his trainer was just replaced by a more ruthless and uncomplicated copy of himself is just as well.]
[[OOC: For the purpose of the 4th wall weekend, Gorthan has been replaced bywarrior_king, Gorthan's other self from "Superduck", PKNA's reboot series. You'll find that he's very different from the original Gorthan, and almost his opposite, in some ways.]]

no subject
A... better person? I am not sure that is the case.
[He goes to his bag and finds a Revive there. He then walks up to his fainted Gallade and proceeds to heal him.]
But I like to believe I am at least smarter than he is. I know better than to pick a fight with you.
no subject
I'm dreadfully sorry about hurting your Pokemon, but he gave me no choice... and in all this transportation, I haven't been able to take any of my Pokemon with me. I guess it's the only time I've been grateful for being the weakest magic user.
no subject
[He sighs, slowly massaging his Pokémon's blade-like arms as he waits for the medicine to take effect.]
This Pokémon species is not supposed to behave like this. Their loyalty to their original trainer is supposed to last to the end... But this one was trained from birth to serve Team Rocket. It must have sensed that the other me could serve Team Rocket's purposes better than I do...
... It's not like I don't know of a way to reprogram its behavior. But Gallade is my starter, and I have no intention to disrespect him.
[When Gallade's eyes open again, Gorthan meets them with a very sad and empty stare.]
no subject
How dare you, young man! This man is your trainer, the one you have been with from the start!
[She even goes for the finger wag.]
Has he not cared for you and done everything for you? Has he not trained you well and given you good companions? And this is how you repay him? You ought to be ashamed of yourself! I have a right mind to cast more spells on you all over again for that betrayal! I demand you apologize to your trainer right this second!
no subject
[He closes his eyes gravely.]
I suppose I should not expect it to be as loyal as other specimen of Gallade are to their trainers.
[At first, Gallade is determined to sit through this without batting an eyelash. He sits up, his brow furrowed as he stares up defiantly at them. But then... as Minnie and Gorthan scold him, each of them in their own way, Gallade lowers his head and lets his shoulders fall apologetically.]
1/3
[She smiles, relieved.]
I really do hope I remember this. In all honesty, I -
2/3
Oh, for Walt's sake, not aga -
3/3
... Ah! What happened to my castle?!
no subject
... He will have to tread very carefully here.]
I am Gorthan, an Evronian scientist. And this is my room. Who are you?
no subject
Oh no, I know what this is! Pete hired you to kidnap me again, right? Well, I'll have you know that it won't work! My musketeers will save me!
[She's just as prissy, though.]
no subject
[That makes him curious... Ah! He can't afford any mistakes now.]
I'm afraid you are mistaken. You have found yourself here by mere accident. I have no intention to keep you captive. In fact...
[He simply walks to the door and opens it.]
You may leave at any moment. Also, I do not know who you are. Would you mind introducing yourself?
no subject
Don't be silly, everyone knows who I am! How do you not know your own princess? Princess Minerva Mouse, ruler of the Disney Kingdom!
no subject
A princess? Then forgive my lack of respect so far, princess. I was merely ignorant of your standing.
Do feel free to leave, if that is your choice. But be warned that mysterious forces have taken you to a world that is not your own.
no subject
[She takes one more look at the door.]
... So you really didn't kidnap me?
[And now she sounds disappointed.]
no subject
[Ugh, old Minnie, where are you. ;A; Here's hoping that, by switching the subject, they may find a common ground of sorts...]
You mentioned... musketeers earlier. Would you mind telling me more about them?
no subject
[... yeah, there was... a lot of character development in eighty years.]
They're the royal guards of the Disney Kingdom, of course. They protect everyone, but first answer to me. They're brave, noble, and the best at the sword. They're sure to come rescue me again from wherever this is.
no subject
[Hang on, he has a certain suspicion about this.]
I see. And what are the musketeers' names?
no subject
... However, the three more recent ones would be Goofy, Donald, and... Mickey.
[There's a way-too-wistful sigh that comes with that last name.]
