Snake: Otacon, is this a joke? I'm actually fighting someone using an oversized golden sword?
Otacon: No joke, Snake. Thats Ike, of the Fire Emblem world of Tellius. Hes a very tough swordsman with a unique fighting style he learned from his father, who was himself a legendary warrior.
S: You're joking. Why couldn't he at least pick up a more modern weapon, like one of those beam swords? Its not like hes stuck in his own world anymore.
O: I doubt he would - that sword of his is blessed by a Goddess.
S: A Goddess?! Aren't those just fairy-tales?
O: Not where hes from, at least.
S: Hm. Think I could get him to introduce me to one?
O: Just keep your mind on the battle Snake...
Snake: Hey Mei Ling, know anything about a guy in blue with a slim sword wearing a tiara?
Mei Ling: Sounds like Marth. Hes the prince of Altea, and was the debut star of Fire Emblem. Hes known for slaying a powerful being known as the Dark Dragon Medeus at a young age.
S: Okay, but whats with the tiara?
M: It was his sister's.
S: So hes...?
M: I said was, Snake. Shes dead, and he wears it to honor her memory.
S: Oh, is that all?
M: You weren't afraid of something there, were you Snake?
S: No, nothing. :end transmission:
Snake: Uh Colonel, why is there a kid here just standing around yelling at a turtle?
Colonel: Thats the Pokèmon Trainer, Snake.
S: "Pokèmon Trainer"? Doesn't he have a name?
C: If he does, hes hidden it carefully.
S: Wierd. So, whats with the turtle? Why isn't he out here fighting?
C: Thats what he does, Snake - trains Pokèmon. They fight for him. The turtle is a Squirtle, and hes also packing an Ivysaur, which is like a cross between a flower and a baby dinosaur, and a Charizard, which is a lot like a Dragon. By varying the Pokèmon he can fight in a variety of ways, so watch out.
S: So why can't I just go tackle him, knock him unconscious, and derive the Pokèmon of orders?
C: Try it, and the Pokèmon would tackle you while you did. Or breath fire on you, or any number of other, less pleasant things.
S: I thought they needed his orders to fight?
C: Not really - they have minds of their own. Didn't you notice while fighting the Pikachu earlier?
S: Then whats he here for?
C: I'm not sure, now that you mention it. Cheer leading and self-esteem boosting, I suppose.
S: Great...
