[An Anonymous messenger comes through the feed.]

The mysterious beasts coming through the wormholes are extremely dangerous as I'm sure you have all seen on the news. I've dealt with them before in person.

If you see a huge monster that's more mouth than anything else and you don't have a real way to fight it, run. Save any civilians you can, but don't die while doing it. That's UB-05 Glutton, and It never stops eating.

Guzma's hideout was trashed by UB-01 Symbiont. You gotta be careful around it; try not to touch it. It looks like a jellyfish, but it will latch onto your head and pump you full of neurotoxins. Ground type attacks are the best way to deal with them.

If you see anything unfamiliar, contact me here and I'll advise before you approach. I've got my hands full so I can't help in any other way.

[As the video starts, the network is greeted with view of a roughed up looking thug of a teen. Some may remember him from the embarrassing post he made looking for ladies or others may just recognize the uniform of Team Skull as the petty vandals of Maurtia Falls. Either way, Tupp doesn't look so great and neither does the small group of skull grunts huddled together behind him. The 'bedrooms' of the Shady Factory is in clear view, which is basically just a bunch of shitty beds pushed together in an old factory. It's probably always messy, but the large chunk of wall that's been busted open exposing their bedroom to the elements is a new development.]

YO! Shit here is wack! The Boss— I mean, Mr. Guzma—

[For someone coming to the network for help, Tupp looks pissed. There is hints of worry in the way he speaks though. Whatever he's trying to say gets cut short either way as his attention is pulled from his communicator. Off screen a high pitched trill can be heard.]

Shit— yo, homie hold this and get ready to run.

[The video fumbles a moment as the communicator gets handed off to a nearby grunt. Luckily they're polite enough to fix the view and keep the camera pointed to Tupp. It also shows just what made that weird noise. There's a strange looking jellyfish creature floating towards the huddle of grunts. It's tentacles raised threateningly?? Kinda hard to tell, but the kids sure seem spooked by it.

Tupp's standing between the grunts and the creature though as he holds out of one of his hands palm up and concentrates on forming a small golf ball sized flame in it. Once he's managed this he's quick to toss it right at the offending Ultra Beast. It explodes on contact which seems to daze the creature somewhat...? Fire against a rock type is... not very effective. Not only that but the burst of flames goes all over their bedroom as well. Thanks Tupp.]


What are y'all stupid? Go!

[It's enough of distraction for the group to run through the upstairs of the Shady Factory and make it to Guzma's room at least as they slam the door shut behind them. Once they're safe Tupp's quick to grab his communicator back from the makeshift camera grunt as he starts to gesture wildly to the camera.]

See!? Shits wack! But uh. The Boss, Mr. Guzma— we was fightin' those weird Frillish lookin' things off when things got real freaky. One of 'em just straight up ate him! It like— shit I dunno, became the Boss? I tried to get him back but...

[Tupp shakes his head with an agitated grumble.]

Yo, we need help. Boss needs help too! Help us save our boy Guzma!

[The background behind Niko is very purple. Spoilers: It's because he's resting against his crobat outside his unit at Base One.

Nikolai himself is rather grouchy, if the scowl is anything to go by.]


Hmph. So I died and I didn't even get any cool loot out of it either! What gives?! I got cool stuff the first time I fought the stupid Mouther thing. And when I fell off a cliff I got Shiko. Dying should have netted me something other than pissy pokemon.

Awww. Whatever. [A wave of his hand as if to dismiss the topic.] Anyone want to make me a shirt that says 'I died and didn't get any loot'? Or 'Dying doesn't give power upgrades'?

[Is he supposed to treat death like this? No? Too bad. No one needs to know it's Actually Affected him. Everything Is Fine. So much so that he signs off with a wide, shit-eating grin.

About half an hour or so later, there's an add on in text, mostly for those that know Archie is his guardian.]
Yes, I have spoken to Archie.

[ Gold. Hopefully you like gold, because you will see a lot of it. Heavy golden walls behind a large golden throne. Comfortably seated within? A potentially new face, looking pleased and overall just friendly enough despite being clad in full armor, complete with large, horned helmet and holding a golden spear in his hand.

Can you possibly see through illusions? Then enjoy Loki occupying a regular living room while casually holding a broom. He's just here to deliver a show, really. The armor and helmet are real, however.

After permitting the image to settle for a moment, he finally speaks. Loki's initial words are measured carefully. ]


Mortals of this realm.

[ He raises from his throne and takes a step forward before settling into a meaningful pose. ]

You have earned yourself the protection of a god.

[ You get another moment to take this in. Or just enjoy looking at this god. Then, all of Loki's dignified behavior and display slips away in favor of a wide, open grin and his unoccupied hand gestures lightly. ]

They could have just asked, though. You know? Instead of just pulling me here and--

[ He lets that trail off with a dismissive wave of his hand. Let's not talk about that, okay? ]

I am Loki. Rightful King of Asgard.

[ That same hand that has just been gesturing dismissively is now placed over his own chest as Loki offers a bow to his audience. ]

And I look forward to serving you.


[ For his roommates at Nonah #004: Your living room is currently stuck under an illusion. You will find yourself stepping right into Asgard's throne room. It's painfully golden. Enjoy your new Asgardian pest. ]

[The network is greeted with a new face today! Or part of a new face anyway since Tupp had a bandanna tied around his lower half of his face. The camera is held close to his face like a shitty sort of selfie. There's a couch pillow behind him and some occasional dark movement in the corners of the view, but it's impossible to make out what just yet.]

Yo! Ya boy Tupp just arrived and ladies...it's yer lucky day.

[The camera view pans out as Tupp holds the camera further out from him. He's reclined back on a couch, his free arm seductively posed so it's resting behind his head real casual like. The bit of movement that could be seen before? Well for some reason this young Romeo is just covered in small dog sized lizards. Covered meaning exactly 3 Salandits were draped over him. Two were happy to just add to this seductive visual their trainer was trying to convey as they looked to the camera. One up by the couch pillow near his head and the other draped across shoulder and chest. The last Salandit however is laying on Tupp's stomach going the extra mile with a classic 'draw me like one of your french girls' pose.]

This handsome hunk before ya just so happens to be single—I know, I know that's hard to believe, but maybe y'all can help me out. So ladies if yer single, hit me up.

[If you haven't managed to cringe yet, the attempt at a seductive wink he gives to the camera once he's done might do it. Proper use of the network, amirite?]

Alola! I'm Mizuki. It's nice to meet you all.

[The child on screen looks as bright and happy as she sounds.]

I'm a pokemon trainer. I was told there's other trainers in this world and I've already met one- but he was rude. Really rude and yelled at his pokemon when he lost.

[For the briefest of seconds, there's a look of sadness before she sighs, shaking her head. Then Mizuki's back to bright and cheerful. As if she's itching to get out and explore.] To the other trainers- I hope you're not like that. B-but, we should get to know each other anyway, but I'm not in any rush. Oh and I can heal -It's a superpower??- so if we battle, you don't have to worry about holding back.

I hope you wouldn't, but they weren't kidding when they said this is a world without pokemon. It's weird, but so was Ultra Space, and the world like mine where um. Never mind. It was weird. But this is a good weird, because it's nice not having Ultra Beasts that want to fight me right this second, or try and kill me. Or both. [Said like it's the weather. But also moving on. She's babbling now. Or trying hard not to chatterbox at people. It's hard to tell.]

Anyway, if anyone would have any clothing shop suggestions or places I should visit or check out or anything like that when it comes to this world. I'm in Jeopardy if that helps, and honestly, even the dumb ideas would be great. It's a whole new world to explore after all. Though, um. Bonus if they'll keep out the fans. I know I'm a Champion and an imPort, but this kinda. Um.

It's overwhelming. J-Just a bit. I don't think I had as many fans back home...

[By the end, the grin's more than a bit sheepishly nervous.]

[When the video clicks on, the viewers are greeted with several faces in a shady area—or maybe it's just not particularly sunny despite being mid-afternoon. Either way, two of those faces most will be familiar with, but especially one in particular: Darin's. Though, his is bloodied and bruised, as if someone wailed on him with their fists. Actually, it looks like that's exactly what happened. He's also notably unconscious—his head being held up by Guzma (the other familiar face), whose fist is full of Darin's hair to do so. He also looks pretty damn smug—if not downright delighted—to a degree that's a little worrying.

The others in view are decidedly less human. In fact, they aren't at all—above Darin hangs a red and black spider, staring at the camera with large purple eyes full of interest and curiosity towards it. He seems to be keeping himself up on what looks like thick webbing that's hanging down from somewhere and connects to Darin... because Darin has been wrapped up in web. A partial cocoon covering his torso and arms. Curiously, there's blood on Darin beyond his busted face—soaking through the webbing that's around him. Awesome!

Next is a moth-like Pokémon, who seems fit to hide most of his body behind that arm of Guzma's that's holding Darin's head up. His little face peeking up over it to look into the camera as well. To the right of him is a hulking bug that looks similar to an isopod if it was on roids. He's got weird cross shaped white pupils, and unlike the other two who seem both interested and excited to be on camera, he holds himself far more reserved and stoic. More like a threatening backdrop to the whole thing.

The last member of this shitty sadistic selfie is a brown beetle-like monster the size of a child, who stands directly besides Darin. His eyes are wide and intense, almost hostile, as he stares at the camera. This hostility is only further emphasized by the obvious blood on the spikes of his pincers.

...And then a second later Pinsir fucking dabs, without breaking eye contact with the camera. As if the idiot bug even knows what the gesture means, but he's seen people do it, and they were on camera too! It makes sense to him. Guzma doesn't seem to mind. He doesn't comment on it, he might not have even noticed, honestly.

He's got more important matters to address:]


Listen up, idiots! It's ya boy again, and I'm here with a special message, a PSA, of sorts, yo.

[He glances to Darin, who is still very much so knocked out, before looking back into the feed. That sinister smirk still on his face.]

Just in case any of you rotten upstarts was under the absurd impression that big bad Guzma was a dude to cross, take it from poor Darin here: I ain't. You mess with me, and I'll crush you, just like I did him.

[As Guzma talks, he's swaying Darin's head side to side by the hold he has on his hair.]

This idiot thought he could stand up to me, that he could beat me down. Hell, in some warped sense of heroic idiocy, he even thought he could help me, HA! Some stupid soft shit like that—and where did it get him!? [Guzma lets go of his hair, letting Darin's head fall emphatically into a hanging position.] No where good, I can tell ya that much.

Your boy still stands, but this loser sure ain't, huh?

[Guzma gives Darin a good little spin as he walks away from the scene with the camera still pointed at himself. The spin, and the more Darin comes into view it's clear he's being suspended by that web that's wrapped around him. However, with that little crowd taking up less of the background, viewers can get more of an idea of where this little broadcast is happening: in an alleyway. Somewhere.

Super helpful!]


Consider this fair warning, y'all. I won't be handing out another.

[He lowers the communicator, making the camera view him from below as he's about to cut the feed, his hand hovering as he stares down at it for a moment as something occurs to him:]

—Oh, yeah. Those of you who give a damn and wanna clean that mess up, [he gestures over his shoulder towards Darin with his thumb, even though he's currently blocking the view of him,] he's in Maurtia Falls. Somewhere on the east side. Never been too good at giving directions, but I'm sure you hero-types can figure it out.

Later days, y'all!

[ While Selina still hasn't decided whether or not to go in front of the camera just yet, using voice and text functions in her correspondence on the network, so when the video feed opens viewers are treated not to treated to her face but that of one of her new friends -- a gorgeous Bengal Tiger named Freyja. A proud, regal creature, normally, but a bit more like a big ol' kitty cat at the moment.

A hand reaches out, scratching the cat behind her ear as Freyja chuffling happily in response. ]


Aren't you something? Pretty girl.

[ She's already done this government asset bullshit and she's not normally the 9-to-5 kind of girl, but she's still settling into her new home. Marking her territory, so to speak. Seeing just what this place has to offer. Might as well take advantage of some of the perks, right? The camera stays on the cat as she throws herself down onto the ground and rolls onto her back, submissive and offering herself up for some belly rubs, to which Selina is happy to oblige. ]

As I sit here enjoying a lovely lunch with a new friend, I find myself curious, fellow... ImPorts, about these employment assignments. Did you or, I suppose, have you settled into your newfound careers, or did you strike out on your own? Do you enjoy what you do? I can't say that I'm fond of the hours, but I always did enjoy working with animals. Can't exactly complain there.

I'm just used to a very different kind of work...

[The video opens to one man with very red and ridiculously spiked hair. He doesn't look like he's in the best of moods, exasperated and tired even. Not just because he's found himself in an entirely new world even, one painfully lacking in Pokemon.]

I think it's every trainer's dream to be able to talk to their Pokemon.

[And yet he sounds so... weary?]

But psychic powers are not what I had in mind.

[Pun not intended. He's not a psychic trainer! He's not Sabrina! Take it back!]

I can hear what they're thinking. ALL the time. Does anyone know how to make it stop? I can't even sleep without their voices in my head.

[You would want it to end too with the voice of a walking palm tree singing 'I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts' on a constant loop.]
