Hey! This better be working, because like I asked that woman... What is going on?!

[So sorry for the sudden yelling, Johto. There's one angry girl on the line, hiding her confusion behind, well. The volume.]

Yes yes, it's nice to be back in some place with some sense of reality...

[As she quiets down a soft, constant “Pip! Pip! Pip!” can be heard in the background, unheard or unacknowledged by the girl talking.]

But, I was supposed to be inside a shrine, not running around some quaint little town with animals as weird as Mokona! It's probably that thing's fault to begin with. When I find that marshmallow-

[She's mumbling to herself now, making the background cries all the more noticeable. Enough that the caller snaps at the source.]

It wouldn't be the strangest thing I've seen...

So what, here these "Pokémon" do the fighting for us?

[One, proudly satisfied "Pip!" in the background.]

[usedquack]

That is what they're for. [Obviously not happy about that.]

[learnedwaterpledge]
