…Tch.

[ There’s a seventeen-year-old girl on the screen, inspecting the camera before giving it an unimpressed look. By her side is a Rattata. ]

This is stupid. Who would think of something like this.... [ Scowl at the Rattata. This game was from when she was a kid, guys. Come on. Not funny.

But then her face settles into a neutral, almost calm

Why do you say that?

[ A while later, she thinks to check this thing again. A response...whatever. She might as well deal with it. ]

Say what?

[video]

[gochuugoku]

That it doesn't matter, aru.

[video]

[usedtsunspore]

Because this isn't real.

[video]

[gochuugoku]

I wouldn't say that too soon. I've experienced things here that are very much real, aru.

Although, I will say that I didn't think any of this was real either when I first arrived.

[usedtsunspore]

...This is a children's video game.

[ Said very firmly, as though it conclusively ends the argument. Reality doesn't involve Pokémon, after all. ]

[gochuugoku]

I'm already aware of that since this game exists in my world too, aru.

However, I've met people from different worlds, ones that don't have personifications of countries like mine does.

[usedtsunspore]

Personifications of countries. Different worlds.

[ Yeeep definitely some strange dream. ]

[video]

[gochuugoku]

Like I said, I won't force you to believe me, aru. But I will say that I'm the embodiment of China.

...What is your name, miss?

[video]

[usedtsunspore]

....

[ Oh, what the hell. Maybe it'll shut him up, and it doesn't matter, after all. ]

...Tsugumi. Komachi Tsugumi.

[video]

[gochuugoku]

Tsugumi... As for myself, my human name is Wang Yao, aru. Pleasure to meet you.

[Well, okay, maybe not a pleasure. This kind of talk was depressing, but he bows his head in greeting anyway.]

[video]

[usedtsunspore]

Whatever.

[ She's not going to lie and call it a pleasure. ]
