[The camera flicked on, with a bearded man in a lab coat adjusting the lens, squinting at it, before nodding in confirmation, glancing back at a man out of view of the camera. Some people may recognize the visible man as the Professor who had been sticking around the Pokémon vending machine, giving advice to others upon receiving their Pokémon.]

I believe the camera is working properly-- shall we begin?

It is- and angled properly now as well, so we shall indeed begin.

[Just once last extra-check to ensure the phone was well propped, and wouldn't slip if any of the pokémon out of view decided to investigate/get nosy while this was being done. An older man finally came into view, smoothing down a jacket and adjusting round glasses- some would likely easily recognize Clavell as the other person that had been sticking around the vending machine dispensing pokémon, motioning to Turo that he could take whatever place he desired for this.

Turo moved to stand next to Clavell, also adjusting his lab coat collar, he paused--]

...Clavell, I believe it is already broadcasting.

[Whoopsie.

Clavell squinted towards the broadcasting phone, another idle adjustment to how his glasses were position on his face.]

—Ah, so it is. Well, good a time as any to get started on the announcement then, no?

Indeed.

[Though the taller man did seem slightly ill at ease, he cleared his throat--]

Hello, fellow Otherworlders. My name is Professor Turo, from the Region of Paldea.

And I am Director Clavell, also from the Region of Paldea. We're here to announce that, after a lot of work during our own free time, we've managed to adapt a phone application from our world to work on these phones here.

[Better to get down to business, simply to help push ahead and hope Turo settled some as they continued on.]

As some of you are aware, a vending machine located at the Underground Mall has been giving out creatures known as ‘Pokémon’. These beings are native to our homeworld, and we’ve both worked to help further the study of them.

[So to speak, in his case… but regardless.]

Our companion, Jacq, developed what is called a ‘Pokédex’, an encyclopaedia of all known Pokémon in Paldea. Due to the fact Pokémon from outside our Region have been appearing here, we felt it prudent to make a version of the Pokédex accessible to all of you, updated with all known Pokémon.

[Clavell tipped his head, a small gesture made towards the camera- more indicating the phone broadcasting them—]

We have also added the necessary information to help you care for your new Pokémon companions; from dietary needs to helping keep a level of cleanliness and happiness. All in an effort to help build what can hopefully grow into a strong bond between you and them, as Pokémon are very wonderful creatures.

[Whatever they could think of that needed to be known about every pokémon within the Pokédex that could be helpful, since between Turo and Clavell they certainly knew quite a bit about pokémon as a whole.]

I have done my best to ensure the application is easy to use once downloaded to your phones, given I am used to altering the Pokedex app program here and there due to familiarity with Jacq's work. If there is some trouble, do not hesitate to bring it up to either of us.

Also, there’s two modes for the Pokedex; Normal Mode and Unlocked.


[Turo holding up two fingers to indicate--]

Normal mode works as it was intended for Pokémon Trainers from our world; Pokémon are blacked out until you encounter them-- thus your own Pokémon will show up instantly, and you will be able to unlock more as you meet new Pokémon from your fellows around the city. Unlocked has all Pokémon available to see and learn about, including Pokémon that are rarely seen and often considered Legends or Myths in our world.

[Clavell nodded along as Turo spoke—]

You will be able to choose which Mode to keep your Pokédex application in, and either will still have full information available to you under each Pokémon's entry. So far there are only various starter pokémon to be seen, from that Vending Machine in the Underground Mall, unless you encounter one of the other people from some region of our world; chances are that Pokémon of our own teams are with us.

[Such as the Houndoom that wandered to sit just by Clavell after a long stretch.

And the Rotom that-- started buzzing around the camera.]

--Rotom, please behave.

[The exasperation in Turo’s voice could not be hidden, but after giving the camera a raspberry, the Rotom darted away with a buzzy giggle.

Clavell hid a chuckle behind his hand briefly, the other resting just at the top of Houndoom's head as the pokémon peered at the phone broadcasting them-]

So, we do hope this Pokédex phone application comes in handy for those of you who decide to download it, and again do not hesitate to reach out to either of us as needed.

[There was an attached file, the Download link to the Pokédex application.]

(OOC: The pokédex app does have all known pokémon in it- except for the ancient paradox pokémon, as these two are from Violet rather than Scarlet. Those tagging in may, of course, get replies from both Clavell and Turo. Speaking of- regular font is Clavell, and the purple font is Turo.)

[abnormalizes]

Easy to raise, no incidents so far that I've heard of. That's good. Will they be okay cramped up in there?

[quecheugy]

Very easy to raise- though when they evolve, some of them can pick up different attitudes. The pokéballs they are in should protect them, given they shrink to fit within and it has everything they need. I still dislike them being in the machine at all, and I can only hope all of them are eventually gotten out.

[abnormalizes]

Oh, that's convenient. Abnormalities kind of do the same thing sometimes, shrinking to a more manageable state.

[When they're the equivalent of fainted.]

I... guess I could purchase one... To help get them out and all...

[Evangeline looks Visibly Uncomfortable though.]

[quecheugy]

There have been various phenomenon in various regions that can make them even more dangerous. Hopefully nothing to worry about here, and hopefully when they do evolve, those who have gotten one trained them well they will continue wanting to listen.

[Surprise teenage-like state? More or less, in some vague way that has nothing to do with age.]

If it's something that doesn't sit well with you, for any reason, do not force yourself. Turo and I are going to continue keeping an eye on the machine.

[abnormalizes]

[Phew.] Thank you. I promise it's nothing about the Pokemon themselves, they're lovely.

[quecheugy]

No need to fret- choice in the matter should always go both ways when it comes to pokémon. They can be very willful, and testing of those who have them.

Comfort is another valuable thing as well. This is just a very unusual circumstance for them as well.

[abnormalizes]

I still want to visit your team sometime, I've just been super busy. What with the people transforming and everything, that's kind of had most of my attention.

[quecheugy]

I can most certainly understand! I myself have been quite busy between pokémon appearing from a vending machine and dedicating more time to getting the pokédex application to the point it is now. Once things have calmed, you are more than welcome to come visit, as before.

[abnormalizes]

Great! I'll be looking forward to it. And if you ever have any issues with monster transformation, you can call on me if you need any help.

[quecheugy]

I will certainly keep you in mind, because even I know my own limits and it is far better to reach out for help than put oneself in over their head. Especially here, with what has been going on with that.

Troubling, here and there.

[abnormalizes]

It's not so bad for the ones whose monster forms haven't made them aggressive...

[Because it basically just makes them hotter, in Evangeline's opinion, and she won't complain about that.]

But even then, most people aren't huge fans of their bodies changing on them suddenly and without their permission.

[quecheugy]

I can only imagine, an amount of mental and physical stress that can certainly make things turn dangerous for the person changing- and those around them by sheer accident of being close.

[Only similar thing he could think of were the pokémon afraid to evolve, which did happen here and there. A reason for the everstones to exist, he supposed.]

You would be one who knew how to handle it well, from what I recall of our conversation.

[abnormalizes]

It's part of my job! Subduing rampaging monsters and keeping casualties to a minimum. So far it's been a little easier than what I do at home, even.

[She hasn't seen any transformed monsters kill anybody here.]

[quecheugy]

That is good to hear, I'm sure most who have been transformed would much rather know they're not as bad.

[Certainly a lot to deal with.]

[abnormalizes]

I personally will make sure they all know they're great.

[by flirting with the hot transformed monsters]

[quecheugy]

[It's hard not to chuckle, the sound soft. Confidence no doubt well earned.]

I trust you handle them all very well with that.

[abnormalizes]

You can count on me! And if you ever find yourself transformed into a werewolf or a centaur or a Pokemon, you know who to call.

[quecheugy]

Your number -or is it username, I suppose- right at the top of my list. You can be sure of that.

[Oh, Clavell.]

[abnormalizes]

Happy to help!

[Evangeline is not into humans but she is not against DILFs as a concept-]

-oh, should I be worried about embarrassing your friend? I can try to rein myself in a little, although subtlety really isn't my strong suit, sorry.

[quecheugy]

A good spirit to have.

[The moment this man becomes some sort of were creature-Clavell did chuckle, but there was something a little softer in his expression. All he had to do was glance to one side and see Turo after all- glad to see him getting a bit into this side of things.]

I do fear he may embarrass easily, unless distracted by the subject he's speaking on. He gets so buried into work he tends to forget to look up at times.

[... admittedly, Turo was a bit better here. The differences.]

[abnormalizes]

[She may not have said out loud 'hey if you turn into a werewolf let me know so I can smooch you' but it was definitely what she was trying to imply.]

Ohhh, that type. I'll try to behave then, but I can't make any promises. Rotom is really cute.

[Got her acting unwise, as they say.]

[quecheugy]

[Always know one's own tastes.Thoughts of were-snow leopard Clavell haunt me now-]

I'm sure he will appreciate the effort, if he notices it- ah, and just as mischievous as Polteageist, or any other Ghost type.

[Ghost Types know how to party? Perhaps.]

[abnormalizes]

[do it do it do it]

As long as it's the fun kind of mischief, that's fine with me. It's usually the other kind with Abnormalities.

[quecheugy]

[It is so fitting for him]

Usually it is, yes! The only time you get the other is if someone has crossed them in some way, and that is when the real trouble starts. A Ghost Type can hold quite the grudge, or worse, after all.

[abnormalizes]

[he would be hot tbh]

I'll make sure to be extra nice to the Ghost types then! Not that I wasn't going to anyway. It's usually a bad idea to anger even the more normally docile types. Like with humans, honestly
