01. video
[ 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! ))

No, no,
Emporio disconnects, steadies himself, and comes back to the pearl with a clear head again.]
No...I...I should probably learn, if it's as much of a risk as it sounds like.
Uh...
...do you have a place for this in mind though? I'm in the Lum Guild, and we live in city limits- I haven't really seen anywhere that looks good for a fight here.
[Though, admittedly-]
....I wouldn't necessarily know a good place on sight though, to be fair.
....I'll work without a weapon to start, to be safe though. It wouldn't be good if I was suddenly unable to fight once disarmed.
no subject
[He'll try to project both the image and location of a field he's already noted. The beach is where he and Emmet had their disastrous attempted battle, but it isn't the best location - too biased, with all that water nearby.]
Did you get that?
no subject
[There's a bit of image bleed as the location Ingo indicates is located on a mental map- rather, a memory of the map he saw in the Lum Guild.
He thinks he's got it though.]
Mmmm...Yes! I think I've got it. I can go there now?
no subject
no subject
>> Action?
Just let me know, and I'll be there then.
[And indeed he will, once given the cue to head on over. Emporio, helmet strapped to his back, and pearl on hand.
...
It's a nice little clearing, he thinks.]
no subject
Ah! Good afternoon!
[Wow, peeled Cubone is weirder to see in person...]
no subject
I am Emmet. And you are the interesting Cubone. Hello.
[ Peeled Cubone... ]
no subject
It doesn't help that he's a bit small for a cubone.]
Hello! [the boy greets at any rate, a nod coming with the words.] Uh...
Oh. I didn't introduce myself huh... Um, my name is Emporio, [the cubone says- with yet another nod.] And you're Emmet, and...
That makes you Ingo, right?
[You're both quite tall, he does not say, in part because everyone is fairly tall when you're only a foot yourself.]
no subject
[Hm. He's used to teaching newbie trainers and Pokemon, but not usually from this position...]
I suppose we ought to see what you have learned on your own first! Do you know how to use any moves yet?
no subject
[ If it helps, Emporio, they're less tall when on all fours? Though the fox is going to yawn and stretch himself out a bit, paws splayed out in front of him (though the one holding the pearl remains facing upward to keep it from contact with the ground), as he drops down and back into a very feline looking stretch.
Hmm, maybe he should look into getting a satchel of some sort... He can hang on to the pearl for now with Ingo currently handling the bulk of interacting-with-people duties, but Emmet's alert and waiting for Emporio's response too. ]
no subject
The pearl gets itself a nice safe spot at the side, and from there the cubone shakes his head.]
I can pretty confidently say 'no'. I know a lot of the others were having...some pretty explosive reactions earlier in January, [he hums, tail swaying a bit behind him,] ...But the most I ever heard was that my tail was distracting, which doesn't really count...
[ that's tail whip little guy- ]
Is there any good way to know what someone should be capable of..?
no subject
[Mud-Slap, maybe even just Sand Attack?]
Emmet?
no subject
Don't remember really seeing them wild in Unova. Marowak, yes. Lower level Cubone, not so much.
[ which is a little interesting when he thinks about it, but maybe it's just that they keep much further away and out of sight, out of places they'd likely be found easily. since. well. Mandibuzz. ]
Hmm. Headbutt: likely, with the skull on. Probably a few instinctual status moves? Growl and Tail Whip. Smaller, lower level Pokemon often have at least one move that helps lower aggression. Probably a weak ground move like you said. I would say maybe also Bone Club, but...
[ Emmet cocks his head. ]
Wonder if he could improvise something else?
no subject
Headbutting things would definitely give this more use...
[So he mutters while flipping the helmet on in one smooth motion.
Finally something normal for the boys.] I guess I could...try charging something?
Uh...
[Tail...whip...] What makes 'Tail Whip' status related?
no subject
[oh he just goes off, huh]
Headbutt would not affect either of us, since we are ghost-types. Perhaps you could try it on a tree! Smaller Pokemon often do that to knock berries down!
no subject
[ thus the comment about how
babieslow level mons usually know at least something along those lines. ]But yes. If you tried to Headbutt us you would go right through.
no subject
[Some might assume that Emporio does not, in fact, see, but he has absorbed a surprising amount of what was just said!]
...So I guess I know 'tail whip' then. Uh.
[He. Has to stare a bit at Emmet. He'd go through??? Really?? But they look...huh??
Are they just both somehow like Diver Down what is this-]
Uh, g...got it. I wouldn't have guessed that...
[Well. Helmet on, he looks toward the trees now.] Headbutting trees at least sounds like a good way to keep from hurting anyone while testing it, I guess. Do I just...run at it?
no subject
[Yeah don't try it peeled!]
no subject
[ like, just look at them? a question left up for the professors to figure out, apparently.
but yes, please don't try it peeled. ]
rolls a 5, snorts
[He won't try it peeled! He won't! He won't!!
But alright. He's got his helmet in place. He's got a tree in his line of sight! He takes a deep breath. He's doing it. He's going to do it!!!
He's running for it!!! AND!!!
...annnnd he skids to a stop nope nope nope-]
aaaAAAAAAHHH- Nope, nope, nope...
[So goes the repeated mutter.]
That could be so much head trauma...so much, it could still go through the helmet...
[Awwww chin up lil buddy.]
no subject
[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. ]
