[The video opens to a young man with very, very green eyes. He bows slightly, with a little flourish to one hand.]

Greetings to all! It would seem I've awoken to a predicament. You see... someone has seen fit to hand me a small, slimy creature.

Something hardly befitting of a mysterious ninja such as myself.

[He says this as he's standing in plain sight, arms folded, and ... well. Wearing bright purple. Because that's subtle. He gestures to the adorable Froakie sitting at his feet.]

Who is it fielding complaints in this location? I would have a serious conversation with them, if possible.

Ah, though I suppose, it would also be wise to see if there is anyone who recognizes my name among those watching this feed. I am Brave Police Independent Stealth Unit, Shadowmaru~!

[... yeah there's a flourish at the end of that last word there.]

No, Professor Elm is- ...well, a professor. A scientist. He has a lab in New Bark Town, I think? Mom is just... she's a very sweet, confused woman.

[sassymaru]

She must truly be the most confused human on the planet, if she mistakes me for her family.

[in4apounding]

She does that for everyone. It's honestly VERY worrying, but she seems to take care of herself fine otherwise. ...I don't know where she gets all the backpacks and lunches, though.

...Were you not human? Before you got here.

[sassymaru]

Perhaps she's incredibly, secretly wealthy, eh? Financing strangers.

[He's hilarious.]

Not in the least, no. I was part of the Brave Police -- a Super AI group of police robots.

[in4apounding]

Oh, I guess she must be, actually.

[He is absolutely hilarious and being taken one hundred percent seriously.]

Police robots? ...There were a lot of you, then?

[sassymaru]

Ah... yes. Perhaps she really is.

[Though really that's not too surprising.]

There were. Eight of us, in the end.
