[The girl on the screen clearly knows she's recording, despite the fact she's just staring into it silently...it goes on for a few seconds. Kind of awkward actually.]

...powers are interesting.

[Her tone is...lacking. Literally, that is a total monotone she's got going on.]

But...give and take... unacceptable.

Property of team magma. Unauthorized acquisition absolutely... assuredly... forbidden.

So return it.

[A beat.]

My pokémon. Return it to me.

[thebestseller]

Po-what?

[ahanalyzing]

Pokémon.

[...well.]

Fauna... ...Companion.... Pet.

[Better?]

[thebestseller]

Ahh, okay, that makes more sense. What's it look like?

[ahanalyzing]

Quadrupedal. Stout body... red shaggy fur... blue ring markings on it's sides. Droopy ears. Two...active volcanoes...on it's back. Tan muzzle.

"Property of Team Magma."

Do you refer to yourself, or your pokemon?

video;

[ahanalyzing]

I would... say both.

But my Leader, he... would object... to referring to myself that way. So only my pokemon.

video;

[databoner]

So you don't mind referring to yourself as, essentially, an object.

[ahanalyzing]

If people choose to take it that way...I don't have any objections.

Living for the cause and nothing else...in that sense...as a tool to further goals...is what makes the most logical sense, as a designation.

[dragony]

Are you sure it arrived with you, in the first place?

[ahanalyzing]

Official protocol dictates... all members must carry at least one... at all times. So...with it on my person before I arrived... ... ...you're suggesting it was left behind?

[dragony]

It's possible, isn't it? Did you see anyone take it from you?

[ahanalyzing]

No.

[...]

However, it...was contained in it's pokéball...hooked...to my belt. It would have to be...removed. Wouldn't it?

[standardization]

Can you describe what you've lost? Maybe we can find it.

[ahanalyzing]

Understood.

Camerupt. Six feet in height. 480 pounds. Quadruped. Stout. Red fur. Tan muzzle. Volcanoes...on it's back.

That should be... everything notable.

[standardization]

That's ... definitely notable.

[Specifically the last part. But anything that's 480 pounds stands out for just about anyone.]

And you're certain you didn't see them after you arrived?

[ahanalyzing]

It's not...so much that I didn't see it.

Contained. Container...hooked to my belt. Now it's not.

[onewiththewild]

What's that?

[ahanalyzing]

Fauna... indigenous to my world.

[She doesn't realllly want to use the word animal, if only because they don't use that back home.]

Used for... personal protection.

[onewiththewild]

Oh, so it's a pet?

[bratziska]

You'll have to speak more clearly if you want people to be able to help you.

[ahanalyzing]

Speaking as clearly...as possible.

[bratziska]

Then this is going to be more difficult that it should be.

( But because she's feeling so generous, she'll try her best anyway. )

So, from what I can understand, you've had something stolen from you?

[functionoverfeels]

I have seen suggestions that our presence is as unauthorized as our departures were. Whoever took your pet may not be entirely at fault.

[ahanalyzing]

Understood. However...on my person at the time...so...it's exclusion...specific.

I believe I simply underestimated...present technology.

[functionoverfeels]

You can't be blamed for that. I've been here less than a day and I have seen more disparities than I ever thought I would. And that is just from other... imPorts, much less the city itself. Is technology generally more or less advanced where you come from?
