[Your Pokegear is suddenly displaying a video feed. Not all that uncommon in a world like this, right? Those of you who don't immediately hang up will be greeted with a leek waving in front of the screen; beyond it is the duck holding it and the boy she is instructing.]

--Oh, there's someone on the screen now! Will they be able to hear me? [The

[combat_butler]

Ah... Hello? Are you just trying to figure it out?

[video]

[pokefonmaster]

Ah, I'm sorry! I should be talking to you now, shouldn't I? I apologize, the technology of this place is very foreign to me.

[video]

[combat_butler]

Er, well... You don't have to talk to me-- Though it could get a little awkward if all we did was stare at each other.

[video]

[pokefonmaster]

[He laughs a little at this.] You're right, of course. Let's start with introductions, then- my name is Ion.

[video]

[combat_butler]

Mm! Mine is Hayate Ayasaki. It's a pleasure to meet you, Ion-san.

[video]

[pokefonmaster]

And the same to you, Hayate! [Lol what are Japanese social norms and not automatically calling someone by their first name.] That's an interesting name- does it have any special meaning?

[video]

[combat_butler]

*pssh he goes for first himself most of the time here since it's not actually Japan* --eh? Well, my parents gave it to me because it meant 'gust of wind'.

[pokefonmaster]

I see! I apologize if I'm coming off as intrusive. There aren't any names that sound quite like yours where I'm from, so I think it's really fascinating.

[video]

[combat_butler]

Ehe... It's not intrusive at all! I think it's only natural to be curious about a thing like that if it's not common where you come from.

[video], I laugh every time I read those keywords

[pokefonmaster]

Yes, I agree! What sorts of things are you curious about, Hayate?

[video] haha you have some amazing ones as well

[combat_butler]

Me? Well... Someone mentioned their 'powers' not working before, so I have to admit I'm a little curious what kind crazy stuff people could do before arriving...

[video] pffff thank you, I just put down whatever dumb thing came to mind :D;;

[pokefonmaster]

Powers-? [He starts a little, as if realizing something, then looks as though he's concentrating. Meditating? Regardless, he only wastes a few seconds on this before he realizes Hayate is correct.] You're right... My abilities, they completely don't work here. I wonder why?

[video] those are the best kind of keywords

[combat_butler]

Mm... I don't know what causes them to be... turned off, I guess? But if I had to guess it's so we have to use the Pokemon to survive.

[pokefonmaster]

It's probably for the best. If this world's inhabitants are powerless, they would be in a great deal of danger if more villainous people appeared here with their powers intact.

[video]

[combat_butler]

Yeah... But I think anyone who's 'villainous' probably wound up in Team Rocket, which will still be a problem.

[video]

[pokefonmaster]

Team Rocket? What is that?
