[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.

Po-what?

"Property of Team Magma."

Do you refer to yourself, or your pokemon?

[ahanalyzing]

Pokémon.

[...well.]

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

[Better?]

[ahanalyzing]

I would... say both.

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

[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?

[thebestseller]

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

[dragony]

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

[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.

[ahanalyzing]

No.

[...]

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

[dragony]

No... not necessarily.

[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.

[ahanalyzing]

Ahah. ♪

How advanced. I'm...fascinated. Do you know...how it works?

[dragony]

This form of abduction... it's not as though somebody threw a bag over your head, and carried you away, is it? You were brought from your "world" to a different one entirely.

What, exactly, is it that you're missing?

[ahanalyzing]

I understand...the mechanics of interdimensional matter transportation. However this...how I came here...taking me, but not it...so precise. That precision... it's new to me. Our warp technology is inferior...decidedly.

Missing...Camerupt.

[#helpful]

[dragony]

Camerupt... is that a name?

[ahanalyzing]

Species.

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

[dragony]

A living creature, then?

[ Seems to have no issue with the concept of it being kept in a container on a belt. ]

[ahanalyzing]

[It's all downhill from here, considering battles, contests and some weird pokemon olympics. Pokéballs are one of the more benign aspects of her world...]

Correct.

Needed for...protection. Although maybe...not anymore.

[dragony]

Mmm.

Though it's not impossible, for the Porter to bring in multiple entities in the same "Port," it's far more common for separation to occur. Sometimes, something like a Camerupt is more likely to be ImPorted by itself, than to arrive with someone else.

[ahanalyzing]

If...it was simply left behind...no concern.

Held until my return. Accounted for. I'm...fine with that.

[databoner]

Then you're useless here. You do realize that's what you're saying, right?

[dragony]

Are you?

[ahanalyzing]

Your evaluation is...accurate.

I'm of no use to anyone here, myself excluded...a result of...indifference. And loyalty.

Not a hero.
