[He can do this. Who cares if people think he's weird for this? He has people who don't think that, too. He turns on the video and smiles a tiny bit, before speaking.]

So I'm just wondering... a couple of things, really. First of all, how many people are here who are under the age of twenty? It feels like that's a lot of people here - more than you'd usually see in any kind of population. Has anyone tracked that kind of stuff?

And second...

[Here we go.]

How many people had what people might call... powers or abilities or magic at home? Like, stuff that most people can't do but you can do? I'm not counting if you come from some kind of world where magic is common, but where it's rare and people would stare at you for doing it, that's what I mean.

[... He's kind of run out of steam.]

Th... that's what I was wondering. Let me know. I'm not trying to like... track people down or something. I'm just curious.

[He flicks the video off and goes to get a drink of water. That was kind of scary.]

Could be? The older you are, the harder it is to learn to use new stuff, right? So maybe there are older people around who aren't really used to the Pokegears and stuff.

Might be. I dunno. Or maybe there's just... people here that look younger to me that are older than I think they are.

That could be too. You never know, with all the worlds that people are from.

Yeah. We're all biased towards what we think is normal, I guess.

Something like that. And it takes a while to get used to something different. I know I still am, even after this long.

Yeah. I've only been here since September.

A little over four years, myself. But a few months is a while too.

I'm starting to settle in, but it's still sometimes hard to believe that I can do things like carry a giant bear in my pocket in a ball.

Can't blame you there. Even with Sion's right there, I still sometimes get stuck on the horses that are on fire...

Or the electric zebras, or the luchador birds, or the five million other weird things. Yeah.

Yeah. And just when you think you've got a handle on them, they throw another few dozen kinds into the mix.

I had trouble with the first hundred and fifty at home...

Ahh, you knew about Pokemon before you got here?

Only a little. One of my friends had one of the games.

Had one of the...

...You know what, no, I shouldn't ask.

It's okay. It's kind of hard to explain... I forget not everyone has the same level of technology at home.

Nah, it's fine. I'm kind of at a disadvantage anyway. We have magic back home, but Pokegears? Televisions? Microwaves? Seriously, whoever invented the microwave was a genius.

Probably. I only sort of know how they work. Not really.

At least you don't know how they work to use them. Just how to use them.

Pretty much. I'm not really great with science anyway.

Not everybody has to be, right? Ahh, what are you good at, though?

I -

[That was not a question he was expecting.]

I'm okay at drawing. And I'm really good at working with bird Pokemon. And... I guess making battle plans?

Those are good talents. I bet you've got some really happy birds, huh.

I try. Regal and I have -

[SUDDENLY BRAVIARY FACE IN THE CAMERA. Tobias nudges his giant head out of the frame.]

- yes I was talking about you. Anyway, Regal and I have been together since I got here.

[...Okay that gets a chuckle.]

Ahaha, you two look really close.
