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.
[Video]
[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?

Just a little...homesick, I guess.
[it doesn't help that now he's actually paying attention to who he's talking to and speaking of uncomfortable resemblances...]
Uh, Billy. ...is my name.
no subject
My name's Anna. Are you new here..?
no subject
But there's nothing else he can say that wouldn't be a lie.]
...Yeah, I am.
no subject
What Pokemon did you get to start, if you don't mind me asking?
no subject
[His brief, unguarded expression looks like that of a man who's never had a friend before in his life.
Or one who's only ever had bad things happen to their friends.]
Nooo, nonono, you don't... you don't want to, uh, be my friend. That's...not really a good idea.
no subject
[Seeing that expression only makes Anna more determined, it'd seem!]
Trust me, you definitely don't want to be alone. Take it from me, it's...definitely a lot better to have people by your side and in your corner.
no subject
[He's actually speechless at that, caught somewhere between blushing and going pale.
He doesn't... He doesn't know her, she's not Penny, it's not like he should be fighting off butterflies, but no one's just nice to him for no reason, and if they are, bad things will happen to them. His face tics and he glances offscreen.
And then a Vulpix jumps into his lap, pressing her head against his hand in concern.]
no subject
[The poor guy must really not have had that many people to talk to, she reasons to herself, before the Vulpix shows up and Anna can't help but gush..]
That Vulpix is so cute...I have one, too. Her name's Amber.
no subject
Penny butts her nose under his hand again with a sharp Vul!, jolting him out of his thoughts. He looks at the girl on the screen and then the little fox.]
...Penny. That's her name. Penny.
