[ Sabrina is sat down on a couch, standard furnishings that come with all the Heropa townhouses. Her government-issues device is floating far enough away from her that it has to be held up by some sort of powers, it would definitely explain the green glow around the edges of the frame. She sits, cross-armed and cross-legged, her file on the couch cushion next to her, and...a yellow humanoid creature making vaguely threatening gestures at a man in deep sleep on the carpet. You might recognize the man as Itsuki, friendly neighborhood flesh-eating abomination.

She turns to face the naughty Hypno, saying nothing, but somehow convincing him to quit being a brat anyway. He stomps off, and she faces the camera again. She's gone over the literature several times, and found the beginner's guide from pouring over the network on her own, but still, it seems like it's customary to introduce yourself. It would be best to be polite while she gains her bearings, she thinks. ]

Hello. My name is Sabrina, I'm from the Kanto region. I was a Pokemon gym leader there, though it appears that holds no relevance or prestige in this world. [ Which bothers her, a lot, given how hard she worked to get that far. Back to square one, in an unfamiliar world, it seems. ]

Who are the leaders in this 'imPort' community? [ She says the word like a woman trying to be more sure of herself than she really is, she hasn't been here long enough to take that on as an identity, no matter how quick the crowds of photographers and fans are to label her as such. ] Officially and otherwise. I would like to meet them, get a better idea of how this works in practice, beyond the time-and-space meddling that's going on.

She's a costar, not part of my regular team. The studio gave her to me to improve our chemistry.

[ And there she goes, zooming through the frame and knocking into the floating phone. Sabrina moves her finger to adjust it back into place, nonchalant. ]

Last thing I remember, I was in hair and makeup, she must have gotten caught up in it.

Costar, huh...

[Blue grins, waving to Woobat as she goes zooming b-- oh, there she goes.] I'll have to come meet her. So that means you're working on your next big flick, huh? Come on, gimme the deets!

[Forget about all this confusing new world stuff! He's getting a little wrapped up in the familiarity.]

We'd like that.

[ The little bat is overstimulated enough as it is, but she's a spoiled performer. Some real world experience would be good for her.

Sabrina made this introduction video to make contacts, not to brag, but...if Blue's going to give her a reason to, fine. She's happy to get into PR mode and bask in the attention a bit. ]

I can't reveal too much. But Bellelba is getting fleshed out a lot more in the next one, so that's been exciting.

Oh-! Bellelba origin story...!? I can't wait!

[Is this like, some Wicked shit?? Blue's here for that.]

How's Unova been treatin' you? After that tournament, I didn't stick around too long...

[Since he was, you know. Catching up with Red.]

Something like that.

[ No spoilers! ]

I really like Unova. Kanto will always be home, and I still have a gym to take care of there, so I usually head back soon after shooting is wrapped. I was thinking about staying longer to take in the sights this time around, but...

[ Now she's here. ]

[Boooo he wants to knoooow!!]

Yeah, I get whatcha mean... Alola has a really homey feel, you know? Everyone there is real friendly. Kanto is Kanto, but since we moved there, it's been hard to think about going home...

[There's a warm tone to his words... Considering she's spoken to Red already, she might be able to pick up the meaning behind that a little better.]

[ Yeah, she could tell what was going on when she talked to Red. She knew all along, of course, it was just a matter of when. She's happy for them, and shows him a knowing smile.]

I've never been. I'll have to visit you sometime, see if I can catch an Oranguru.

[Blue is either oblivious to her little smile or pretending he doesn't see it! The happiness is clear in his face, though.]

You should! We've had all kindsa strong trainers come through Battle Tree already from other regions. You could even run into them, have some battles.

Heh, if you can get a second away from filming and gym challenges, right? [Blue always hated just waiting around in the gym...]

Challenging myself and broadening my horizons a little more will make me a better leader. I doubt the League would mind a brief leave of it's for a good reason.

[ There's more to being a leader than just battling, Blue!! ]

Yeah, tell Lancey-boy to shove it! Maybe Will can run the place for a bit, huh?

[Blue laughs obnoxiously, as he do.] Speaking of which... I haven't had a lot of decent competition here for a while. You better be ready for a battle soon!

...Or I'd say that, but... me and Red are actually about to go on a trip. This place has real weird geography! The regions are all different from ours, but.. apparently there's a Kanto region in this world? We're gonna go check it out.

I've noticed. It's like Kanto, but not quite? Bring a souvenir, we'll be ready for a battle when you get back.

You got it! [Another dumb salute] I'll bring you some'a that old lady tea Erika and my sis like from Celadon Department Store!

You guys better be ready to lose again, I'm still the strongest Leader for a reason, you know.

Old lady tea? I like it.

[ She's not old! She still looks good in crop tops!!! ]

It sounds like you're out of practice. We'll see.

[Okay, mom]

Outta practice is just a little handicap to even out the odds! Like Machamp batting with a hand tied behind his back!

Tell that to Alakazam. He's the one itching for a battle.

Tell him to use one spoon!

Keep it down! If he hears you say that, he'll be furious.

Call it 'Kadabra mode', haha!!

[He's sure his own Alakazam would be rolling his eyes if he heard this, but it just makes him miss the old guy a little more.]

Well, I'll see you soon too, Alakazam!

Have a good trip. When you get back, I hope to have a handle on things here.

Yeah. Good luck settling in! Our comms should work overseas, so you can contact us if you need to know anything! Food for your Pokémon, or whatever.

Exeggutor's been growing berries, so you can feel free to take what you need! They're in the backyard-- oh, that's right, the house we just moved into... It's owned by a loser from Hoenn. Actually, you'd never believe who that guy is....

[You know, if Red or Niko hadn't gotten to it first, but...]

I've already been there, Blue. I went to see Red this morning, and I'm about to head back to meet Archie.

[ Try to keep up. ]

Of Team Aqua? Niko said something like that.

.................Oh.

[You can totally see the pout forming, like he's still that 11 year old racing to beat the Gyms. What the Furret, he wasn't the first to this!?] That stinker, he didn't tell me nothin'!

[Blue sulks for a moment as he nods.] Yeah, that's right. Real crackpot, right? .......Well, he's okay, I guess. Reformed or whatever.

Okay enough for you to move in with him.

[Blue makes another face, but this one is more embarrassed.] --Yeah, he's alright. For a like, former nutjob that tried to revive an ancient legendary Pokémon. Sheesh, at least the Rockets never tried anything weird like that.

--That reminds me, did you hear about the news recently in the Alola region? There was some kind of strange phenomena happening all over the islands... I don't know all the details, though.

[ Maybe if they had, she would have caught onto them sooner, and a kid wouldn't have been tasked with taking them down. ]

What's going on in Alola?

[ Sorry, Blue...she has two regions to keep up with as it is. ]
