[ 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! ))

Very similar! If an electric-type attack cannot affect you, for example, then we will know you are certainly a ground-type! At least partially!

[Electrocution? Oh...if only she could still perform alchemy, she could just do it to herself...]

I suppose I'll have to find someone who can perform electric attacks, then...

[This is a terrible idea.]

[offtracks]

They can just use something like Thunder Wave! That does not even really hurt, it only causes paralysis.

[quirkynote]

[Oh! Only paralysis?!]

You desire for my loss of muscle function?! My inability to move?! I happen to enjoy being mobile!!

[offtracks]

It will wear off! It is not even entirely consistent, you could still move...oh, probably three out of four times!

[ and here he's butting in briefly to say: ]

Lightningrod and Motor Drive. Volt Absorb.

[ ... while also not elaborating other than like, letting the general concept of each float to the front of the telepathic message as he 'says' it. ]

[offtracks]

......what...?

[Local Man Attempts To Remember The Concept Of Pokemon Abilities!]

[outbounds]

Lightning Rod. Draws electric moves to it. Will absorb to boost own power.

[ A Zebstrika with its tail held high, pulling in an opposing Discharge. ]

Motor Drive. Will absorb electric moves directed at it to help move faster.

[ Another Zebstrika, getting hit by a Thunderbolt and going zoom. ]

Volt Absorb. Will absorb electric moves directed at it to heal.

[ Pachirisu, tanking through a Zap Cannon with excitable cheer and only seeming more energized for it. ]

[offtracks]

.....ah. Right.

[Sorry, there's a strong feeling like television static through the pearl for a second before Ingo closes his eyes and rubs a paw over his face, cutting off the connection.]

[outbounds]

[ oh, that's—

jarring, to say the least. not painful, per se, but definitely not something he wants to have a repeat experience for. in physical space he has to shake to clear his head of the sensation, before also pulling away a little from the pearl.

what was that ...? ]

[offtracks]

[But if he notices, Ingo doesn't seem eager to explain it. He just goes back to the pearl and moves on.]

[outbounds]

[ His ears pull back and flatten for a moment,

But he bounces back quickly enough that there's no issue in continuing with the pearls. ]
