[Video] An Announcement!

[When the Gear starts up, Matt can be seen framed against the outside of the observatory. He's wearing a lab coat, his red-blonde hair a mess, but he's obviously thrilled. He waves, as he starts to speak.]

Hi everyone out there! For those of you who might not know, I'm Matt Holt, and, well, I guess you could say that I run the Sevii Observatory. I wanted to invite everyone to come to the observatory this week for a spectacular sight.

Starting tonight, and going for about a week, there is going to be a large Minior Shower after dark. From the research I've done, it looks like it's going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This weekend, there's going to be even more Miniors, and possibly other pokemon that will appear. It's going to be fantastic.

I'll be at the observatory all night to answer any questions people have, and to help people use our telescopes to see the Miniors, planets, and stars.

If anyone wants to join me, or set up some kind of booth... please, only things like food and education opportunities, let me know! I do have some tables and a couple tents I could set up.

Thanks, all, and I hope to see you there!

[The Gear shuts off as Matt leans against the building behind him, looking like he just ran a marathon. Boy doesn't like talking to lots of people.]

[ The feed starts up as most feeds do-pointed at absolutely nothing in particular and shaking while the owner fiddles around with it. A pair of slacks and worn shoes comes into view for a moment before it shifts again, apparently trying to figure out where the hell the camera is and why it isn't where it's supposed to be, even the shittest cell phones in any given universe aren't as crappy as this- ]

A-Alright, we, we have to-- shit, is this thing even on? Hey Squanchy, what the hell are you--URRRP--d-doing over-HEY, WHAT THE HELL-

[ The gruff old voice that had been muttering before freaking out is revealed to be a man who matches about what his voice sounded like. Old, grumpy, bloodshot eyes from who the hell knows what and what looks to be drool and some other mysterious liquid running down his chin as a metal flask is shoved inside a dirty old labcoat.

The hand not occupied hiding whatever he's been drinking is reaching for the askew camera, his expression annoyed before it's cut out and the feed shifts to darkness while there are scuffles with what sounds like loud, protesting meows.

When it comes back on, the old man's sitting on the ground and has one hand on his flask he's pulled back out and the other holding a Litten that looks far too pleased with itself for showing it's trainer the right way to face the Gear, and he calls himself a genius. As if he can just sense the little bastard's smug aura, the man glares down at the cat before wiping the drool/mysterious liquid off his chin with the back of his sleeve. ]

Alright asshole, d-don't squanch too hard over this, you got lucky.

[ When he finally turns to the camera, his expression has shifted from annoyance to bright and cheerful with a wide grin. Whatever he's been drinking, safe to say it's probably got a high alcohol content. ]

What uuup motherfuckers?! Rick Sanchez, in the motherfucking houuuuse! I-I need, shit-What was-Pikachu! That's it, that lil-little mouse thing, the one with the sparks and the seizures, I need one of those! A-And what was that one, the mushroom zombie thing, one of those too. Where can I catch o-or ot--uurrrp--therwise acquire them?

From what I understand, this is one way to ask questions. For anyone inclined to answer, I have a few pressing ones.

1. Where is this music playing from? It is music, right?
2. What advice or explanations do you wish you'd been giving when you woke up here? "Go forth and adventure" is not helpful. The guide on this thing is less than helpful. People here are very helpful, except they have nothing of much help to say.

Thank you.

[ There's a short snippet of dizzying video that follows, as the PokeGear shows a glimpse of sky and foliage while it tumbles to the ground, landing with a thump. At least then all the camera sees is sky through foliage, before the screen is overtaken by an extreme close-up of an Absol sniffing. Someone makes a shooing sound above the sniffling and susurrations of wind through the grass, and the Absol's face moves away. The camera catches a brief glimpse of a young blonde woman crouching down with her arm outstretched to the screen before it's flipped over and lifted, recording a stretch of dirt on a pathway and going dark. ]
