First Particle (Video/Action for Rockets)
[Action for Rocket HQ]
[He hasn't changed out of the outfit that he arrived in, a blood red Howie coat with a pair of goggles pushed up on top of his head for now, black leather gloves, black pants and black rubber boots, but he's decided to explore his new surroundings because this...
This is weird.
...This is definitely not the Evil League of Evil. There's a Rotom floating in the air around him, letting out impatient staticky hums every now and again. He doesn't seem to be listening to whatever it's trying to tell him, though.]
Yeah, I know, I read the manual. [BZZT!! Bzz bzzz!!!] It said wear the uniform for official business, and last I checked walking around isn't exactly "official" anything.

[When the feed connects, the man on the other end blinks hard a couple of times and glances to either side before turning his attention to the 'Gear. The space behind him is a bland, sterile white wall, and he's wearing a hoodie zipped up over a black shirt.]
So, I- I have a question about how people name these, uh… Pokemon...things. Wasn't there some kind of video game with something called Pokemon? I never played many video games.
Anyway! Uh, so I was wondering if anyone ever names them after… people? Like, people they knew back-- back home. [He blinks hard again, nervously.] And I guess, if you do, why? Not why would you do that but like [He glances at something offscreen, this time more pensively and less out of the nervous twitching that he started with.] ...why did you pick that name?

In terms of why, I mean... s'pretty obvious. We're in a different world and people like having reminders of their old life around.
Some people, anyway.

I just got here, and there's this little fox thing that... She reminds me of someone I knew, back home.

Honestly, naming Pokemon after friends is practically tradition.
[... A beat.]
... Not that I ever did it, but y'know.
[This is a lie.]
[Video]
[It's a lame attempt at a joke, and it falls flat pretty much as he says it.]
[Video]
Sometimes you get here and find a bunch of people from your world.
Sometimes you're the first one.
... Sometimes you end up being the only one.
[Yeah, maybe he meant it as a joke, but... she actually sounds pretty serious.]
