[Watch that's a cell phone? Easy. The video function? Now that's pretty cool.

Some redheaded girl with an eyepatch and her hair pulled way back into a ponytail comes into view; she doesn't bother to figure out who this actually calls; right now is a time for absolutely indignant screaming at whoever the hell will listen.]

Okay, first of all! Your cell phones suck!

[Undyne, your priorities.]

Second of all, who the hell is responsible for this?

[She gestures to all of herself before realizing that might just mean jack and squat; her next act is to set down the weird cell phone, pick up her Totodile, and show it to everyone.]

This girl here? She's adorable! She's scaly and blue and looks like the monster she should be. Good for you, kid! And who puts monsters in little red balls in the first place? What kind of sick individuals are you?

[But that's beyond the point, and she quickly sets her down.]

I like being blue and scaly, you know! It's a good look on me! So what gives?

[...Hello to you too, Undyne.]

[On the other end of the connection, we have a tall, young man with shoulder-length silver hair. About twenty-something now, and he can't help but chuckle at Undyne's reaction.]

You've probably already heard the gist of it. Different world, nonhumans turn humans, and we're supposed to go around capturing Pokémon and battling or breeding them.

It's just the way things work around here. Heck, the whole world seems to revolve around Pokémon, right down to their books and movies.

Well, I can't complain about a world that revolves around monsters!

[Even if she's still sore about the human thing, that's definitely an improvement.]

[islandshore]

Heh, no kidding. It's way more exciting than the world I came from. Plus, it's hard to top a place where shard tornadoes are a natural phenomenon.

[...]

And for the record, I'm dead serious about that.

[challengeaccepted]

Sounds awesome!

[Without missing a beat. Not just weather, but dangerous weather? Surely this guy comes from somewhere great.]

So just how exciting is it?

[Does it have fire and explosions?]

[islandshore]

Hmm, kinda depends on the time of year. I'd say around October's when this place gets its most hectic. We've had nightmare castles, ghost possession, giant monsters blasting the heck out of each other...

[He pauses, then brings a hand over his face for a moment.]

...Wait, scratch that. It's around May and November that things get really insane. People flooding in from other worlds, powers coming back, nonhumans getting their old forms for a few days.

It doesn't last, but at least there's a silver lining to it.
