[ 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! ))

[ but... huh. that's... interesting? it almost gives him more questions than it does answers. is aether supposed to be in complete balance for all things? or does a fire type have more fire aether than the rest? or would it only be fire type at all because of the imbalance? ]
You mentioned eight elements. For Pokemon there are eighteen known types. Not counting the question-mark one that's just an umbrella for moves that can't be categorized otherwise. Or the Stellar thing they're doing in Blueberry Academy— sorry, sorry, derailing.
Anyway. Types are not ... they do not usually affect the environment the way you describe aether to. Many Pokemon can call rain on demand. Kyogre does it just by existing. So much that if left unchecked it can cause great floods. But I would not say that is an imbalance of 'water energy' so much as just an ability they have?
no subject
Hm...then perhaps, aside from how they look, aether and Pokemon don't have much in common. Or, maybe it works completely differently. I'm not...I have never been a scholar, so I couldn't say for sure.
no subject
[ he thought he loosely understood the idea of aether for a moment but apparently it turns out he was not, in fact, on the right track. ]
Because that is what Pokemon are. Living. Mostly living. There are some ghost types that are questionable but for the sake of clarity we will ignore them right now.
no subject
[But maybe, in some form, that does mean Pokemon are aetheric beings. But belonging to specific aspects doesn't corrupt them like it does where she's from? Perhaps they can channel it differently, or have grown over time to not be harmed by it...Emmet does get a sense of these thoughts as Firoza mulls them over, mostly because she doesn't have the wherewithal to clamp down on errant musings when the concepts are so nebulous.]
...Mm...it's interesting to think about it like that...
no subject
[ Maybe a living glob of aether might actually be something like a ghost type, actually ... one of the ones without more solidly defined forms? The way Firoza's been explaining aether is very- all energy based, without ties to anything more solid, or at least it sounds that way, so Emmet's trying to put that together with the fact that they're talking about real, physical beings here. ]
no subject
[She is...trying her best...!]
no subject
So aether is kind of like ... typed soul energy or life force, [ maybe mostly life force but not quite, she says it's in everything after all, ] but it isn't necessarily? Since you mention souls as a separate thing. But it is also capable of warping them. Not just internally but physically as well. And it affects the surroundings, even the parts that have no living component.
[ like the weather. ]
Am I following you right?

Was there anything else you wanted to ask?
no subject
no subject
That is to say. I am willing, yes.
no subject
[Said with a centered confidence only someone used to battle might have.]
My name is Firoza. Where ought we meet, and when do we begin?
no subject
Very good! You will probably have to wait until Ingo and I finish up with the others first. Then we can meet up... hm, you are with one of the other guilds, yes? Maybe somewhere in between the two of us, there are some decent clear areas just outside of the city.

Will do.
