[ it's pretty clear that whoever's putting out this video has little to no idea of what they're doing - not only is it being shot upside down, but it's framed pretty badly, with only one red eye and a few locks of blue hair visible against the familiar backdrop of New Bark Town.

Though it's hard to make out her expression, her one visible eye is a little narrowed and when she starts talking, her voice is understandably nervous. ]

Uh... H--hey... Is this some kinda messed up prank? Mitsuru-san, Akihiko-san, Aigis - or whoever's watchin' this - w--well, it ain't funny, yeah?! I dunno where I am! I ain't never heard of New Bark Town an' I never heard a' no Pokémon either!

And-- an' all this--!

[ she jerks the camera down to point it at her body, revealing the slight build of a high school girl, still dressed in her summer uniform. ]

I don't even wanna know how you did it but-- but just quit it, alright?! [ her voice wavers a little and she sounds almost like she's close to tears. ] Just stop it! It ain't funny at all!

[ there's a little bleat from off camera and then an exceptionally fluffy Mareep wanders into the shot at the girl's feet. She sniffs a little and when she speaks up again, her voice is a little calmer and gentler. ]

Oh -- s'you again. What are you, anyway? Some kinda--?

[ and that's when either her finger slips or something and the video abruptly cuts off. ]

That should be fine--Pokemon can eat the berries, too, and in cities you can find bags of more specialized food for the different kinds of Pokemon. [Al frowns for a moment, thinking.] The only sheep Pokemon I can think of are...Mareep? I think that's right.

[fortunatetoaster]

Oh, uh -- I think that's what someone said?

[ she glances down and away for a moment, apparently at the Pokémon in question. ]

Is that yer name? Mareep?

[ that gets an excited bleat in response and she shrugs, turning her attention back to the video. ]

I guess so. S'dancin' around all happy now I said that.

[armoredsoul]

[Al chuckles, nodding.] Yeah, they're pretty attached to you from day one. You can find out more about the species in your Pokedex--it's basically an encyclopedia all about Pokemon in that one little machine. [Al's still in awe about that, really--so much information in one tiny little device! So cool!]

[fortunatetoaster]

Oh!

[ she visibly perks up at that and there's a bit of fumbling as she pokes around on her PokeGear, presumably to bring it up. There's a bit of beeping and then an electronic voice drones - ]

Mareep. The Wool Pokemon. Mareep stores static electricity in their wooly coat. They avoid battle and have mild dispositions.

Ah -- so it has info on all of 'em? All I gotta do is point whenever I find one?

[armoredsoul]

Yeah! Well, there were a bunch of Pokemon that showed up from another region of this world a few months ago, and we had to wait to receive data on them, but that was kind of a special case.

[fortunatetoaster]

Another region? So it ain't just this place? You got a whole world?

[ and immediately once she's said that, it strikes her how stupid the question is and she goes a little red before fumbling to recover. ]

I mean-- well, it's like -- j--just how big is this place, y'know? Ah... ahaha...
