Your name sounds familiar. Does the name Apollo Justice ring a bell? He's my childhood friend. I think he might've mentioned you before.

That... is a familiar name. He is one of the two lawyers that's begun working in the past couple years for that spiky-haired fool Maya calls a brother. Apollo Justice is a loud man, and frequently jumps to foolish lines of questioning that only end up hurting his case, but I must admit that at the end of it, he is nearly as formidable as his foolish mentor, which is no small feat.

I look forward to seeing both him and his fellow newcomer in court again someday, if I were to return to my home world. That other newcomer - Athena Cykes, her name was - had quite the reaction to seeing me in action for the first time.

[whipitgoodfvk]

Hmph. Those foolish miscreants will face justice, even if I have to figure out dimension-hopping to deliver it myself.

In the meantime, gather any evidence you can, even if it seems irrelevant. I know I have seen the most innocuous things become the most vital pieces in proving the truth.

It is a relief, however, that no one was severely harmed by the foolish actions of these burglars.

ok. so. uh. things have Happened. I'm physically fine, I didn't even get lightly stabbed this time. but

the bar got broken into. I didn't get there fast enough to... my options were pretty much to either try chasing the assholes who broke in or to make sure my boss was ok. picked the second option which was ABSOLUTELY the right call they're in the hospital and their umbreon's pokeball got so fucked up that it's literally not safe for him to be in it rn. so i am pokesitting and also waiting for them to be released from the hospital

nnnnot sure what got taken. or if anything got taken. what i saw of the place was trashed, like they were looking for something, I was. a LITTLE more concerned with getting my boss to the fucking hospital

anywayyyyyyy I don't have proof it was the fuckers who have been threatening my boss for the past, like, month? but I'd be willing to bet a LOT of money that it was them :/

assholes.

The road from Nimbasa to Driftveil is not a long one - I am here in town now.

[Image Description: Franziska is standing near a fountain in a dusty mid-size city. A large red drawbridge can be seen in the background. Curled up at Franziska's feet is a Shiny Eevee, joined by a Trapinch. Floating on either side of her is a Magneton and a Sigilyph, both staring intently at the camera. Franziska is not holding the camera, instead having her arms folded - perhaps the picture is being taken by another party, or by the Sigilyph levitating the phone.]

[whipitgoodfvk]

I must camp out for tonight, but safe to say that tomorrow I will be in Driftveil, come hell or high water.

[whipitgoodfvk]

[An audio log of a phone call, placed from a landline to a cell phone at 2:03 PM on a Sunday.

Franziska's voice is first to be heard. "Hello? von Karma speaking."

Another woman's voice is heard on the other end. "Franny! Oh, thank the Holy Mother, it's you!"

Franziska breathes an audible sigh of relief. "It is... good to know you are well enough to have this conversation, Maya."

"Yeah..." a sigh from the other end. "It's... not the greatest, but I'm here, so..."

"Where are you right now? I am looking to leave Nimbasa soon."

There's a pause before Maya speaks again. "...you're gonna hate me."

Franziska's voice softens. "Maya Fey, I could never hate you. Please tell me where you are."

Maya's voice drops. "...i'm in jail."

Franziska lets out a long sigh of frustration. "Of course you got into trouble. Where are you so I can help resolve whatever misunderstanding has happened?"

"Driftveil. Some cowboy guy saw me helping a guy out and thought I was clearly the one in the wrong, and..." A frustrated groan. "Every time..."

"Do not worry, Maya Fey. I am headed to Driftveil as we speak. I will get you out of there. I will see you soon, schatzi."

Maya's voice is low, but resolute. "See you soon, darling."

Both parties hang up.]

[A video is attached.

Two Plasma Grunts, or "fools" as Franziska is calling them, are recalling a fainted Trubbish and Watchog, respectively. A Sigilyph is floating ominously above them, and a Magneton below is sparking.

"W-w-w-w-we surrender!" The male grunt throws his hands into the air. "Just don't hurt us!"

The female grunt has a light blush as she puts her own hands up. "You again...! No way!"

"See?!" The man turns to the woman. "I told you we weren't in the clear!!"

"Look, all I said was that one of the problems was out of the way! And I'd much rather deal with blue-hair than with the purple demon!"

Franziska, off-camera, cracks her whip, startling the grunts out of their argument. "My name is Franziska von Karma. You would do well to use it. And you were saying about the purple demon...?"

The man turns back to Franziska. "Purple demon's out of our hair, is all. Your little ally ain't bothering us anymore."

Franziska takes a hasty breath. "You will explain this."

The man thinks for a moment. "Hmm... nope! Not gonna!"

The two grunts dash off, accompanied by Franziska's increasingly-fast breathing.

The video ends.]

I get up, get ready for a new day, have a perfectly pleasant day, and what do I get but a pair of Plasma fools sprinting by me.

Excuse me a moment while I handle this.

[whipitgoodfvk]

Greetings, Rotomblr. My name is Franziska von Karma, international prosecutor. I am not of this world, though I have found myself here for some reason, having woken up one day in the middle of an empty park in a city called Castelia.

In other words, I am a Faller from a world without Pokemon.

Since then, I have been taking on the Gym Challenge, training alongside a few Pokemon and traveling throughout this Unova region. I have acquired four badges as of this writing, and fully intend to gain the remaining four as well.

My team stands as follows:

Eevee (F) -- Sayo

Magneton (X) -- Maxwell

Sigilyph (M) -- Cormag

Trapinch (M) -- Titan

There was a moment where I encountered a particular young fool with spiky blue hair named Hugh, as the two of us investigated a theft at a local ranch. He briefly had possession of my phone, but was courteous enough to use blue text to differentiate himself from yours truly.

I also have encountered a young woman named Iris, who I have learned is the region's Top Champion. She was alongside me during an investigation in Castelia, and used pink text to mark herself on the blog.

In Nimbasa, I received an unexpected phone call from someone I never thought I would see here... my partner from my home world. I am seeking her out now, and should I find her, she will use purple text - her favorite color.

OOC info under the cut!

OOC: Hi! I'm @casualgamefreak, starting to get a little more into this thing! Franziska is my blorbo from Ace Attorney, I am in LOVE with her, and I saw some buddies in one of my Discord servers doing this thing, and then I got the idea to throw Fran into Black 2, and it was on from there. Ghetsis will Suffer >:)

Victory. Four badges. Halfway there.

Maxwell's transformation... Elesa was mildly surprised that this was my first experience with evolution. That would certainly explain the power boost that carried me through the end of the fight.

It was not the cleanest win, but it was a victory nonetheless.

[whipitgoodfvk]

[A video is attached.

Franziska is facing down Elesa once again, in a brightly-lit arena with floodlights all around. Elesa has a Zebstrika on the field, while Franziska grimaces as she recalls a fainted Trapinch.

There is a brief moment before Franziska winces again and throws out a Magnemite. "Maxwell... just like last time. Supersonic."

Elesa's Zebstrika snorts in derision, flame already gathering in her hooves, but the Supersonic lands first, causing the flame to sputter before flickering out.

"C'mon, don't let 'em shake you! Flame Charge!" Zebstrika's on the move, but stumbles before reaching Maxwell, falling down.

Franziska nods. "Good. Metal Sound, then Mirror Shot." A harsh grind causes everyone present to shudder, before a gray beam fires and smacks into Zebstrika's side.

Zebstrika rights herself, taking a ready stance, flame building in her hooves once more.

Maxwell begins to glow. A yellow light consumes their body, forming into a ball of energy, electric sparks flying every which way, building until a bolt of lightning crashes to the ground below.

Two more flashes of lightning before the ball disperses entirely, causing everyone's hair to stand on end and revealing three of Maxwell - or, more accurately, one newly-evolved Magneton.

Electricity crackles between the three sections of Maxwell's new form, as Franziska pauses, studying the form before her.

Maxwell dodges out of the way of an attempted Flame Charge, startling Franziska back into her battle stance. "Right. Supersonic, then Mirror Shot!"

Both attacks land, staggering Zebstrika. A moment passes, before she crumples to the floor, fainted.

"Zebstrika is unable to battle!" An unseen referee calls the faint. "Challenger Franziska is victorious!"

The video ends.]

Here we go.

Heading in now. My plan is made. I shall not lose this time.

[whipitgoodfvk]

I understand that much on an intellectual level. I simply cannot easily switch my mindset after nearly fifteen years (has it really been fifteen years?) in a very high-stakes job.

It is... quite strange to me, the idea that I am allowed to simply go back into a Gym and retry the challenge if I fail the first time.

There are no second chances, usually, in my line of work back home. If the truth is lost and a guilty party gets away the first time, there is no bringing them back to court, at least not for that particular offense under double jeopardy laws.

So to have a failure like my previous attempt at the Gym having zero consequences... I believe my brain is trying to invent personal repercussions that do not exist.

Nevertheless, I shall come back to the Gym later today, better prepared and determined to attain the victory I need.

[whipitgoodfvk]

The cost is mostly just time and pride. And something about making you learn that you can learn and improve from mistakes or something if you listen to the official line on that anyways.

I... suppose I simply am not used to competitive environments with such low stakes, is all. My usual profession will often quite drastically affect the lives of at minimum the defendant, and sometimes others involved as well. A mistake on my part in the courtroom has severe consequences.

I believe you can understand where I have difficulty in remembering that the stakes are not so high.

[whipitgoodfvk]

oh you lost BADLY huh!

No. Not as badly as previous humiliations.

I was actually close to winning. Maxwell's Supersonic very nearly pulled it out for me when I was all but done.

But whereas previous defeats were largely attributable to holes in team composition, this time I can find no such flaw beyond my strategies getting countered.

I will need to re-evaluate my plan before my next attempt, to account for Elesa's ability to quickly defeat Titan.

[whipitgoodfvk]

My self-worth is not defined by victory. My self-worth is not defined by victory. My self-worth is not defined by victory. My self-worth is not defined by victory. My self-worth is not defined by victory...

[whipitgoodfvk]

It is time.

I am heading in to earn badge number four now.

Titan is the main plan, with Sayo and Maxwell backing him up.
