[Anyone watching this post is immediately greeted by this young blonde girl quickly checking that everything is recording right, and then scoffing. Pacifica is wasting no time setting the tone here.]

Okay, so. I think the part where I ask what the heck is going is super obvious, so I won't even bother. I'm sure someone will give me an explanation for this. And it better be good! Seriously, I've dealt with enough crazy already, let's get this over with quickly and I won't have to sue anyone.

Now. On to other important matters. [There's a beat, then Pacifica taps against the gear, which you can't exactly see, but it's audible.] So is this like the latest model, or what? Don't get me wrong. Loving the color, I so approve. But if there's something better, I need to know right away so I can upgrade.

God, if it turns out this is like last year's model, it'll just be embarrassing. Can you even imagine? No, I'm going to take care of this potential disaster right now.

[Another pause. She glances at something off to the side, off-screen, before looking back.]

...Also, there's a little, like... tree ghost following me and it's making me super uncomfortable, what do I do about that? I kinda thought I was done with ghosts.

[Josuke helpfully ignores any inquiries and focuses right on the ghost bit.]

Aw c'mon give it a chance! Only ghosts I ever met weren't out to kill... well, not anyone that didn't deserve it.

[nobell]

...Uh-huh.

[Dude, do not even try this with her, wow.]

Okay, so. How about you get chased by a lumberjack ghost and watch everyone around you get turned into wood, and then get back to me?

[fehcatsap]

Well, that's a different story. I mean I know I'm never gonna look at toy soldiers the same way...

[And that's only partly because a small army of them nearly killed him with tiny armaments!]

But like it or not, the little guy's your only protection against other wild animals and all the bigger towns are at least three days away.

[journalname]

Oh, like this?

[The camera's only briefly on Asgore, before he turns it to look at a Phantump. It's floating near the carpet and drawing on a piece of paper.]

They are called Phantump! Even though they are ghost types, the stump they carry is actually still growing! Is that not fascinating?

[nobell]

Wait. So there's just a whole species of little tree ghosts? Okay, wow, I don't know how to respond to that right now?

So it's not like... haunting me or something?

[journalname]

Oh, no. They are meant to be your partner while you are here. I'm sorry to say it, but that may be for some time.

Oh My Ghoul, can I see your ghost? I bet it's super cute!

[nobell]

Oh my-- What?

[Oh boy, weirdo alert.]

Ugh, why does everyone only care about the ghost?

video

[veggie_vamp]

Because ghosts are clawesome! I've got a bunch of ghosts with me, and they're all super cute! I want to try and catch them all, after I catch all the bats!

I dunno if you'll think it's a good explanation, but you've been magically whisked away to a whole different realm of existence for no discernible reason.

Welcome to the land of Pokemon! Which is what that little ghost guy is. Not exactly a ghost, but a type of native animal. The animals and people coexist and work together and everybody has a special Pokemon they get when they first come here.

[nobell]

...I can't believe my life that that explanation almost sounds logical.

[Almost. Not completely. But hey, she'll take this place over the state Gravity Falls was in not so long ago.]

That's... That's really weird. Like I cannot express just how weird that is? What do these things even do?

[sneezelikeakitten]

[.... WELL THIS CERTAINLY IS A FAMILIAR FACE]

Pacifica?

[Why are you here why]

Video;

[nobell]

[Whoa, what?]

...Wait, Dipper? You're here too? [Okay, she didn't see this coming. Except...] Oh my god. I knew it. This is another one of those weird Gravity Falls things, isn't it? So of course you're here.

[Hey, it would make sense.]

[arcanaeum]

I think it's the newest. They seem like they were just made when you get them, anyway.

[nobell]

Finally, someone tells me something actually important. Thank you.

So you haven't seen anyone use newer looking ones, right?

[video]

[styxiedust]

[...Oh honey.]

Sweetie, I'm sure you've gotten a ton of explanations already about where you are and what's happening, so...how about you just ask me what you still want to know?

[video]

[nobell]

I... don't even know. Ugh, you'd think I'd be used to weirdness like this by now...

Okay, wait, here's something. How am I supposed to pay for anything here?

[A pretty practical, reasonable concern, to be fair.]

[Video]

[laughingstawke]

[That's a long, drawn out and horrifically annoying 'pfft' coming from the 'Gear there.]

A tree ghost. That's pathetic! That's-- [The woman broke off to guffaw, pounding her hand against her knee.] Next thing you know there will be key ghosts and... [Snort.] Tree ghost.

[All the while, Hawke's own ghost pokemon, a pair of swords and a more spirit-esque creature look on. If it was possible for Pokemon to look unamused, the two were sporting such a look.]

[Video]

[nobell]

...Yeah, it's not that funny.

[video]

[in4apounding]

Uh- I think there's only really one model of Pokégear. I mean they come in a couple different colors but I'm pretty sure they're all the same beyond that?

[video]

[nobell]

Ugh... Well, I guess that'll do. At least I've definitely got the best color.

[meowbel]

[Hey, wait a minute here! Isn't that...?]

Whoa, Pacifica? You're here too?

[Seriously, why are so many people from Gravity Falls here??]

Voice

[nobell]

...Hi, Mabel. Yeah, I guess so.

So you've seriously been here a while? Dipper mentioned that.

[video] I'm not late you're late

[questionmarksthespot]

Oh, heyya. Welcome to the party, dawg.

The little tree dude's probably your partner. ...Unless it's trying to attack you, in which case you should probably get off the 'Gear an' find your actual partner so it can fight that thing. They're like those little virtual pets that were super popular like fifteen years ago, only real and spittin' fire and stuff. ...That was probably before your time.

[video] and then I'm late to your lateness it all cancels out

[nobell]

I don't think this thing really knows how to attack, he's mostly just hiding. And... yeah, I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. Sounds lame, anyway.

[There's a muffled "thuuuump..." coming from off-screen and oh dear. Pacifica quickly turns her attention to that for a moment.]

Whoa, hey, I'm not saying you're lame, I just... Uuuugh, nevermind!

[She's... gonna need some time to figure out how to be a good trainer.]

Anyway. You're, uh... dang it... ...Something that starts with an S. I'll memorize it eventually.
