[First, some music to set the mood.]
[Athrun has been through many things. However, going to bed in his own bed and waking up in another bed is one thing he hasn't experienced. Nor is dealing with some woman claiming to be his mother. Like he needed that wound reopened. Best getting out of there ASAP.
Athrun found himself in an unfamiliar town. It was small and very...green. Unsure of what else to do, he decided to heed the advice he'd been given. He made his way to the Elm Pokémon Research Laboratory.
After looking in through the windows, Athrun takes a deep breath. Well, nothing's going to get done just hanging out outside. He opens the door.]

Mobile suit? That's all fiction, isn't it? But he sounds serious, and that face really doesn't look like a person who's joking. ]
A mobile suit?
[ Maybe she just heard wrong. ]
no subject
[Athrun hesitates. Did she not know what they were?]
...Mobile suit. A humanoid combat machine about twenty meters tall.
no subject
And you... 'pilot' them? As in sit inside and control their movements?
no subject
You're not very familiar with them, are you?
no subject
They don't exist where I"m from.
[ At least not... in real life. ]
no subject
[That doesn't make any sense. After two wars, everybody should know what mobile suits are. Unless...]
...So apparently not only is this not our native world, but we're from different worlds, as well.
This just keeps getting more and more incredible.

I'm from Japan.
[ Hmm. She gives it a moment's thought and then adds: ] 2014.
no subject
[Which would mean that her time is multiple centuries in his time's past.]
We stopped using that one decades ago. We're now in the Cosmic Era, year 74.
no subject
.... It's a good thing she added that year as an afterthought. ]
Really?
[ Seriously. This is fascinating. Even if she does think you're just a little bit mental. ]
What is it like in the future?
no subject
[Where to begin? It's not like she asked about anything in partic -- oh. That's an issue.]
That's, er, a rather broad question, isn't it?
no subject
Is it vastly different from the 21st century?
[ The whatever calendar he'd said before... that one. ]

no subject
So there's people living in space now, right? And teleporters? And hover cars?
[ All the important stuff, you know. ]
no subject
...No. I mean, we have space colonies, yes. But teleportation isn't happening any time soon, and hover cars? Probably never.
no subject
She doesn't even bother trying not to look disappointed. She's disappointed, man. This sounds like it sucks. Minus maybe the space colonies, thing. ]
But you still play basketball?
[ Space basketball...? Even better.
She is asking all the important questions, here. ]
no subject
Er...yes. All the popular sports from that era are still around. I take it you're a fan of it?
no subject
[ 'Fan' is a bit of an understatement. ]
Do you play?
[ Doesn't quite look like you do. ]
no subject
Nothing more than what we did in gym class. I was more into engineering and science as a kid than sports, though I've got a fair share of martial arts training now. Plus some military CQC.
