[ 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. ]

If they've got psychic powers, surely someone can teach me to handle computer hardware with my mind.

[Aaaand he's actually considering it. Well, mostly as a joke. His musings on the idea of using grumpearl-like technology as a base for building some 'electronic' device of whatever variety is not a joke, though.]

Whatever. Let's see about those, then.

[Streamer arc continues. The grumpearl link view changes very strangely, like visually seeing someone's attention focus on different things at once- probably because that's exactly what is happening. After a second of that, the view settles on one over Doc's shoulder, though. He's looking through the maps the archives have available.]

...All of these are of the city. I don't even know if there's anything more than five miles out.

[He adjusts a bit so the viewport he's got actually can see the map he's looking through better.]

[outbounds]

I don't know that the Pokemon around here know what computers are yet.

[ someone... someone out there has yet to invent the concept of a microprocessor... or maybe Pokemon just don't have access to such things. who can say. it is a little dizzying maybe to keep up with the split views, but the link holds steady.

that said, oh. that... sure is a map they are both looking at. bay. canopy. wilderness. very informative. ]

But there is nothing? Really? This place really must not have much contact with anywhere else, then...

[ which, hm. hmmm. what does that mean? do they even know what the outside world looks like, other than that humans do indeed exist and in a negative context at that, enough for the locals to be wary of them? are there other settlements of displaced Pokemon? the city doesn't look that new, they seem somewhat reasonably established... Cheri's supposed to be the guild responsible for scouting, right?

all of this is supposed to be internal thought process, but some of the bits toward the end might leak through. ]
