[Will’s chin flickers onto the screen. Followed by a flash of purple hair. Followed by a flicker of green feathers. Click click click. It’s not a video game, Will.]

Why! This seems to be some kind of Pokegear!

[OBVIOUSLY, Will is a genius, guys. And once the camera focuses, he also looks more flamboyant than a peacock dressed up in rainbows and

'Elite four'? So what sort of qualification is that?

[masked_elite]

I'm one of the greatest battlers in the region, of course.

[law_of_reason]

Another fighter, eh? I hope you have more interesting abilities than most of them.

[masked_elite]

...hm?

Well I do specialize in the best type of pokemon, so I should think so.

[law_of_reason]

...I take it these are some sort of animals you control? Is that all?

[masked_elite]

...like pigs and chickens? Rei was telling me about those. No, they're not like cows and stuff- well, Tauros are apparently, but those are just normal types.

[law_of_reason]

Different worlds have different names for their wildlife - it's only expected. Species are easily separated by landmass, entire realities are even harder to cross.

So again, are you just a beast tamer of some sort?

[masked_elite]

I... in a manner of speaking, I suppose.

[law_of_reason]

So no worthwhile abilities, then.

[masked_elite]

Hey! Don't just write me off like that. I'm one of the best strategists in my region, and Xatu never loses!

[law_of_reason]

Oh...? So what's it capable of?

[masked_elite]

Well obviously, she can see into the future. Being a Xatu and all.

[God Will shut up.]

She also has the best Psychic attack of any pokemon on my team. And her shadow ball can topple any other Psychic pokemon that tries to beat us with type advantages.

[law_of_reason]

Foresight? Did she see this ahead of time?

...Can she demonstrate any of those skills on something? I don't think there's any of these 'pokemon' around, but the local animals are plentiful enough to experiment on.

[masked_elite]

...huh? Well, I didn't ask her, but probably.

I suppose so, but if they don't fight back, it'll be really boring.

[Oh, goddammit, he wasn't going to talk to this fruitcake, but Mayuri is seriously creepy and Zuko doesn't want to see his stupid bird kidnapped and cut open.]

He's a scientist who dissects things for fun.

Don't tell him too much about yourself or he'll think you'd make a good experiment.

[masked_elite]

...um.

[OKAY YEAH THAT'S SERIOUSLY NOT COOL.]

What a dastardly villain! He should be shown his place around here!
