[The PokeGear turns on to one scarfed man who is dealing with his little Cleffa who seems quite content to bounce up and down around him.]

Hap-P! I realize you are excited for this journey through a land like this but you must be patient! We cannot leave this town until The Questioning One is ready to depart.

[He looks to the camera, as he's set it up.]

You there! I have seen this been used for the purpose of communication. I have seen that man use it himself.

[He stands, one arm pointing at the camera, as the Cleffa known as Hap-P jumps up onto his shoulder.]

Remember the name Gundam Tanaka! I am from the school known as Hope's Peak Academy! And this plane of existence will soon belong to me!

[This is probably not what anyone wanted to hear, Gundam. He starts to chuckle... before it turns into a laugh.]

We will head to the next city soon!

[And with that, he shuts the feed off.]

[pathogenics]

You dare to question me!

[there's too much theory behind gundam's name don't think about it.]

[video]

[captainash]

I'm not questioning you. I'm questioning your parents' intentions, saddling you with that name and all the expectations that come with it.

[Sure, he's named some of his Pokémon after Gundams, but that's not the same thing at all.]

[video]

[pathogenics]

I am the only one here who can answer that so you are questioning me!

[At least it's better than Hap-P.]

[video]

[captainash]

Hey, if your parents ever show up I'll go ask them instead. Until then, I guess I'll just have to feel horrible for you.

[...Hap-P's still better than some of the other names he gave. Poor little Stumbly and Hellspawn.]

[video]

[pathogenics]

H... horrible?!

[...Hellspawn... interesting...]

[video]

[captainash]

You share the same name as a machine of war, even if it's meant to protect people. That can't be an easy name to bear.

[Sweet little kitty, enjoys milk and scritches, loves to rip eyes out while her victims are awake and screaming.]

[video]

[pathogenics]

You assume I cannot handle what ever is thrown my way. I wear everything with pride!

[sounds like my mother.]

[video]

[captainash]

That's probably the best way to deal with it, unless you intend to use it as an excuse to go around shooting people.

[...Considering the kitty is a Purugly...]

[video]

[pathogenics]

I assure you, I have no such plans!

[yup. that's my mother]

[video]

[captainash]

That's lucky for you, because there are no weapons around here anyway.

[A beat.]

Well, except our Pokémon, but Cleffas don't learn many attacks before they evolve.

[video]

[pathogenics]

You will see! Soon, Hap-P's power will be unmatched by anyone! Everyone will fear her name. As they should! She has potential inside of her unmatched by any others!

[video]

[captainash]

...Our starters don't get particularly good egg moves, I'm sorry to say. But I'm sure you'll find TMs and tutor moves well-suited to her strengths, and will raise to become a suitably terrifying young Clefable.

[video]

[pathogenics]

Then you cannot see the immense potential that is inside of her! She will grow to be the strongest in this life! Heh... heheh.

[video]

[captainash]

[Ash stares at young Hap-P, deep in thought. Then, after a few seconds, his Clefable shoves himself in the frame and also stares at Hap-P. After a few more moments of that, the two of them turn to look at each other and shrug.]

...Guess we're not attuned to Cleffa potentials. If you say so, we'll believe you.

[video]

[pathogenics]

Mark my words that you will soon understand what I mean! This whole world soon will!

[video]

[captainash]

Good luck defeating those who've been here for three years, all the Gym leaders and every local, then. You'll need it.

[video]

[pathogenics]

Ha! Haha! They will be no issue for me!

[video]

[captainash]

Even with a level difference of ninety-five and weeks' worth of salary spent in TMs? You sure are confident.

[video]

[pathogenics]

Do I need to repeat myself? There will be no issue for Gundam Tanaka and Hap-P!

[video]

[captainash]

Yes, yes, so you said. Are you always this confident, or is that just a reaction to finding yourself in some unknown monster world?

[video]

[pathogenics]

My confidence is naturally born! I have always been like this, rain or shine!

[video]

[captainash]

...This world has plenty of both, so you'll need that. During the snow storms, too.

[video]

[pathogenics]

I am prepared! For every weather Mother Nature dares to throw at me!

[look at his fabulous scarf]

[video]

[captainash]

For the apocalypse, too?

[Neither of their beautiful scarves can do much about that, in his opinion.]
