[ There seem to be two Pokemon on this dispatch! You get a sense of both a Hisuian Typhlosion AND a Hisuian Zoroark, though the perspective is a little dizzying before settling down into (mostly) one psychic perspective. The Typhlosion's, probably; it's mostly his perspective with a vague sense of what he thinks he looks like now. Psychic pearls are hard, who knew? ]
Good afternoon, fellow passengers! I am Ingo, and this is Emmet - my brother.
[ So so smooth, it comes so naturally to introduce someone as his family member! ]
We are both from a world with Pokemon originally! We were humans there, and I'm afraid we do not have any idea how this might have happened - this is not the sort of thing that is supposed to be possible! But we would like to offer our help in navigating these new tracks! Between the two of us, we can help to identify your species and typing, as well as other facts about your new forms! We are also both very familiar with Pokemon battling! If you wish to learn to fight, we can provide assistance! I'm very excited to have battles in this new way, and the more people who can participate, the more fun it will be!
If you would like to speak in person, we are both in the Oran Berry Guild!
[ The perspective warps and shifts a bit, as you see Emmet moving forward, and also Emmet's own perspective as he does so. ]
— I am Emmet. What Ingo says is true! Yup! But also, we are willing to come to you if necessary? It would not be a good idea to start a battle near any housing, after all.
[ Emmet, it seems, is a man of much fewer words than his brother! At least when they're in the same space, anyway. His address is also smooth, very smooth, picking up after Ingo's like clockwork.
... for those who have already met them both and / or have heard at least some amount of their circumstances already, isn't there some kind of explanation missing? Oh well, must not be important. ]
(( Responses may come from either or both of them! ))

[At least, it's a common enough attack that never seems to cause any recoil damage!]
no subject
But if you want I can also throw myself at the tree first. I do not know Headbutt but you can pretend that U-turn is similar.
[ Emmet, no. ]
no subject
[He's torn between 'sure, demonstrate' and 'those things don't sound remotely similar please do not do that'.
But, swallowing, he nods and backs up to try again. And this time-]
HaaaaaAAAAAAAAA-
[C L O N K
The tree shudders. Nothing falls from it, but Emporio clearly hasn't suffered any weird reverb or side effect as he just looks up at the sound of the rustling leaves.]
....oh. ...you weren't exaggerating about sturdy.
[Is...He thinks there's a dent in that tree. A smoll, cubone helmet sized dent.
Wow.]
no subject
[Ingo rears up briefly on his hind legs to call this out.]
Very well aimed! Often, if you hit an enemy with that move right, you will be able to make them flinch! It's an excellent way to gain an advantage!
no subject
no subject
[It sounds like it should be obvious.]
Like...it'll stun them for a minute?
[That makes sense. He can think of a lot of things that would probably get stunned if they were hit like that.]
no subject
[Of course he's been headbutted by Pokemon, honestly who hasn't]
no subject
[ beat. ]
Or you can just use the chance to run away I guess. That would work too if you do not really want to fight. Headbutt does not always cause something to flinch though so you will have to be careful.
no subject
[Ah, but this extra bit that Emmet is warning him about sounds familiar. Emporio just nods, like it all makes total sense.
Maybe it does.] Right. Because some pokemon might be too unflappable, or durable.
[Yeah sure that
though technically the pokemas skill unflappable-]I'll probably use it to run away, but at least it's an option I have now! This is already really helpful!
no subject
[near enough, anyway]
There is no shame in running from a fight you did not ask for, or one you are going to lose!
[Which is perhaps an odd thing for a Pokemon trainer to say, but Ingo's mind is far more on the sorts of attacks he's experienced from wild Pokemon than on a regulated trainer battle. Considering the sorts of scars he has, maybe that's not so hard to guess. Emporio doesn't seem to be training because he wants to fight; he's preparing ways to escape.]
no subject
[ why
is he saying that with this kind of smile on his face. anyway, what were they talking about, oh right, picking one's fights. hm. ]
Better to be safe than sorry with dangerous or aggressive Pokemon. Yup.
no subject
[Aww, his tail is wagging.
Bro don't tail whip 'm-The wagging pauses when Emmet adds that brief anecdote. And alas, he cannot be distracted by what follows.
Emmet,] Uh.....
...what's a Haxorus..?
no subject
It's a.....dragon?
[This works a lot better when he sees the Pokemon in question.]
no subject
[ huh, that all doesn't sound so bad, right—
so of course he continues, in blithe cheer: ]
Except when defending their territory! Or otherwise provoked. Then they can be pretty scary. Definitely scary for a pair of teenagers who stumbled a little too far the wrong way when looking for an Axew.
[ it's the kind of story you have to look back on and laugh at later because hah,,, we were stupid kids, huh,,,,, even though it definitely wasn't funny in the moment. ]
no subject
He slowly nods at Ingo, and then Emmet takes over and WOAH HOLYSHIT]
Uhh....
[bro u almost died.....................and wow ok six foot is Terrifying at this scale.] ...which means I'm only a foot tall...
[Yes that's his first take-away. Uh.] W-why were you looking for dragons in the first place?
no subject
no subject
[ can it not be as simple as that. but also: ]
You might be a foot tall or you might be a little more or less than. Scale is admittedly hard when I am not entirely sure exactly how tall I am. Size variations within a species and all.
no subject
Right.
Well, even an estimate is better than nothing- I didn't really have anything to go on, they don't seem to have any real measuring sticks. ...At least none using something I'd recognize...
[Do pokemon use metric??? oh no!]
no subject
[Not that this is really the most important concern, he supposes.]
In any case, that was an excellent Headbutt! Would you like to practice it some more?
no subject
[ surely they don't make all their patterns off of just vibes. conversions might be necessary after finding a decent reference point, but ...
Ingo's asked the other relevant question anyway, so he doesn't have anything to add there. ]
no subject
[Right, training-]
Yes please..! I'd like to work on this as much as possible! I want to fit in better!
no subject
no subject
Whatever you like. We will be happy to help for as long as you want, yup.
fades this out now...
[Time to aim for the trees and get to work then.] Let me know if there's anything I should be trying!!
[...And hopefully, training won't go on for too long, because they likely have plenty more to do elsewhere as well.]
