...Is-is this a cellphone?

[The video shows a good view of a cloudy sky and...not much else. The feed shakes and wobbles a bit, a clear sign that whoever's holding the pokegear is a grade A newbie. Thankfully it isn't long before a merciful white paw grabs the thing and turns it the right way, showing a far too excited blonde kid and a cubchoo who rests on his shoulder, looking awfully proud of herself for fixing the feed. Aw yeah, she knows technology. Take that everyone else! Teddie gives her a congratulatory pat on the head before continuing.]

It is! And it does VIDEO?! Woah-ho, this one's waaaaay better than my last one, Yosuke must've finally decided I needed a well deserved upgrade~

[He chuckles a bit to himself, his pokemon joining in despite the fact that she doesn't even know what a Yosuke is. She's just happy he's happy. Sadly, their festivities don't seem to last very long as Teddie begins to glance around, slowly beginning to realize none of his surroundings are very familiar. At all. His smile begins to fade into a worried frown as it finally dawns on him: He's lost.]

I-I guess he decided to move the house while he was at it, hehe...

[He tries his best to stay positive, but anyone with any sense could tell that was a very nervous chuckle. Cubchoo attempts to reassure him by patting his head now, but it only does so much.]

I'm bearginning to think something's going on here...

[WHOA WHOA WHOA

Rise did not expect to see this face when she decided to browse through her feed today. That was definitely who she thought it was.]

TEDDIE! Is that really you?!

[Can you tell she's happy to see you?]

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

[WOAH! Rise's yelling his name and it isn't even because he did anything wrong! This is, like, the second best day of his life. Not to mention a huge relief. Seeing a familiar face brightens him up instantly, Teddie's practically beaming.]

Rise-chaaaaaan~! I see you got a new phone, too! I mean, that makes sense, you'd so be on top of all the newest, popbearlur techie gizmos.

[Ahem, but before he can rave anymore about his new toy, first things first.]

So what gives? Why the heck is the town all scrambled and different?

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

Well, of course! I have to be! And it's a PokéGear, not just a phone.

[She sounds rather proud of herself. Why wouldn't she know what it is?

Oh wait, this isn't home. Be prepared for confusion, Teddie. She's been here a while.]

Because this isn't Inaba. Didn't you listen to that mom lady before you walked out of the house?

[Does he ever stop to listen?]

[Is that a bear pun?

Anyway Perry can't help but get curious at this guy since he seems to know about this place.]

You live here?

[Text]

[kingofthetvworld]

[Woah, a text message! ...Well, duh, all phones can text. But...he's not used to this keyboard, and it's not like he was ever very good at texting in the first place... Well, here goes nothing!]

nO i lve IN yOSUKe's cLSet

[...perfect]

[Text]

[doesntdomuch]

[Well that sets off several alarms in Perry's head.]

they make you live in a closet?

[Oh gosh please tell him this place has child protective services.]

[video]

[codeforhope]

It's much more than just a cellphone...it can record video, audio, and send texts and pictures...among lots of other things.

[Like the Pokedex and map...but it's probably best not to try to explain all of those things all at once.]

Is this...Yosuke a friend of yours?

[video]

[kingofthetvworld]

Ah, I see, a super cellphone.

[It's all coming together now. Good.]

And you betcha! Yosuke just so happens to be one of my bear-y best pals~ He even lets me stay with him, what a guy.

[Just never tell him he said these things. Ever.]

[video]

[codeforhope]

I see...he does sound very nice, if that's the case!

[It's good to see someone relatively upbeat about their given situation, since most people who just arrive are a little...well. Panicked, confused, or just straight up mad.

...the bear puns, though. That's...a new one. It stirs up something inside that he hasn't felt in well over a year now, but focusing on Teddie helps him overcome it pretty quickly. Maybe he just likes puns...?]

You must have a lot of questions...but I can try to answer any for you that you might have. What's your name?

[shuttermouse]

"Bearginning"...?

[ This girl who appears to be no older than twelve (spoilers: she's actually 21, she's just tiny and young-looking) doesn't seem particularly impressed by the bear pun. ]

video;

[kingofthetvworld]

[Teddie, on the other hand, seems completely impressed by the girl parroting his awful choice of words.]

Get outta town! You speak bear, too?!

video;

[shuttermouse]

Um, no. [ What's with this guy? ] Why are you making bear puns?

video;

[irenicly]

....Was that a bear pun?

[Sorry, Teddie. This is Mr. No Sense of Humor.]

video;

[kingofthetvworld]

[Why hello there Mr. No Sense of Humor.]

Pawsibly~

[He has zero shame.]

video;

[irenicly]

Do... do you always talk in puns?

[Focusing on the important thing here.]

[capitald]

[Aww, what an adorable bear! Ringabel can't help but grin at the sight of the charming creature, though when Teddie pops into view, he chuckles at his enthusiasm.

The bear pun certainly helps, terrible as it is.]

Are you a fan of bears, then, or did you choose the pun for the occasion?

video

[kingofthetvworld]

[Teddie can't help but laugh, maybe a little too loud for his own good. So many bear questions today, he can't help but eat up all this attention.]

I 'suppose you could say I'm the biggest fan ever~! Probearly 'cause I am a bear, after all.

video

[capitald]

[He's a bear? Ringabel's eyebrows perk, and he strokes his chin. Interesting!]

You're awfully well-shaved for a bear! And where are your fangs?

[It's part-teasing; if he is truly a bear, and this isn't merely a game of pretend, then it could be this world up to its old tricks again.]

Voice/So sorry

[nvcr]

[That pun was awful, but you know what, let's just ignore that for now.]

I didn't even know if houses can suddenly move while we're in this plane of existence, or whether or not your friend is even here, but...

WELCOME...TO JOHTO.

[Voice] More like I'm sorry

[kingofthetvworld]

[There's a wee moment of silence on his end as Teddie looks around, almost like he's trying to make sure no one's pranking him. Why he would even think that is anyone's guess, but perhaps the fact that this is his first voice message makes him a little suspicious.

Then again, he's still fairly certain the pokegear is a type of phone... And his phone didn't have video chatting to begin with... Great, it's not even been a full day and the bear's already spoiled.]

THANK...YOU!

[He holds the gear just a little too close, trying his best to mimic the same tone as his mysterious stranger. He even puts in the pause and everything! Is this some kind of game? If so, it's the weirdest one yet.]

[nvcr]

I...see you've received your first Pokemon! Well then. The path that lies ahead of you is a long and treacherous one, filled with uncertainty and adorable little kittens--

So! Have you got your balls?

[Video]

[wing_attack]

[... Okay bears are still a bit of a sensitive topic for him but he can't help but smile a tiny bit as he turns on the video.]

Something is going on here. Maybe you should paws for reflection.

[... He had to.]

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

[At this rate, Teddie's going to start thinking everyone's secretly a bear. No one has ever played along, let alone several people.]

Reflection, huh? I'm gonna need a mirror, first.

video

[shatterings]

[ The video feed flicks on, and Naminé gives him a light smile. He's seriously enthusiastic, that much is obvious. ]

Well... there is something going on here--many things--but none of it is exactly... bad.

video

[kingofthetvworld]

[He can only get more enthusiastic, the pokegear quickly becoming one of his new favorite objects. Just look at all these cute girls who keep talking to him.]

I know, right?! First I get a pet, now all these people wanna talk to me!

...N-Not that people never talked to me bearfore, heheh... I am Junes' super pretty boy star idol, of course.

[Of course.]
