[The oddly-dressed woman on camera is holding her Gear up at an angle, so both herself and her Pumpkaboo - who is a little over half as tall as she - are visible. She gives an agitated sigh and rubs at her forehead. Her gem is gone, her powers over metal aren't working, she's a human now... All of that on top of being taken from her home. It's been a day.]

Okay, this place really doesn't make sense to me. I understand the idea of competitive sparring, sure! But then you also fight Pokemon to subdue them for capture, right? Only instead of behaving like captives, they'll be your friends if you succeed.

I've been spending years figuring out how things work on Earth! And on Earth, things sure don't work like that! So what, now I have to start all over in a whole new place that makes no sense to me?

Trust me when I say you get used to it... mostly.

[Riku offers a small, sympathetic smile.]

Been here eleven years. Some things still throw me off, but after a while, you learn to run with it. Pokemon battles. Pokemon training. Endless background music and impossible ledges. Helps if you think of it like a video game made real, I guess.

Heh. Difficult sometimes, but it's usually huge spikes of insanity between relative lows. Most of the time, this place is peaceful, if you ignore the seedy underbelly.

[But Team Rocket's always gonna be on his mind, even when they're lying low. Might be a bit much to throw at a newbie all at once, though.]

Real glitches that turn the world into a pixelated nightmares. Ghosts possessing people and making them act like idiots. People getting fused with Pokemon...

And that's just a small sampling of the last eleven years.
