...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...

Y-You can tell?!

[Teddie's honestly impressed, he didn't think he made it so obvious. At this rate, this new person might as well be a wizard.]

T-That's AMAZING! Quick! What else do you know about me?!

E-eh?

[..w-wait, no.]

O-oh no, I...I just assumed since...that's what you said. You called yourself a bear, and your name is Teddie...

I'll have you know that Teddie is a bearfectly acceptable human name!

[Teddie puts on a surprisingly serious face, his cubchoo giving a just as serious nod. Haters to the left.]

But you're absolutely correct, I am a bear right down to my fuzzy core.

[The gratuitous use of bear puns is also somewhat of a giveaway, but he decides to keep that to himself. At least this bear seems nice.]

Well...it's nice to meet you, Teddie-san. My name is Chihiro Fujisaki.

[What do you mean no one else speaks in animal-related puns?!]

Ah, it's real nice to meet you, Chi-chan~

[And despite his near-squealing when he says that, he's absolutely genuine. Teddie's absolutely loving how much attention this new phone's bringing him.]

I gotta say, if I keep getting random video-y calls like this all day, I'm just glad one of 'em got to be from you~

[NOT USUALLY...]

Ah...that...that's very nice of you to say. But...this video you made is actually on a public Network, right now. Everyone in Johto with a Gear can see it and respond.

[So they aren't random, at least.]

I c-can call everyone at the same time?

[That is far too much power. Power Teddie will happily accept.]

Well it's...not calling them, directly...but anyone who checks the Network can respond, yes. It's pretty much like a public forum that every trainer can access through their Gears.

[Teddie smiles and nods. Ah yes, trainers and forums and gears. Good, good.]

...I have no idea what you're talking about.

[SMILE]

[...]

That's alright. It can be a little confusing, at first. But to put it simply, if you don't send a message to one person specifically, then it will go to everyone. Does that make sense?

I think I gotcha now...

[He has absolutely no clue.]

But boy, this is gonna put my scoring efforts through the roof! Just think, I can call all those girls all at once! There's no way I can fail!

[CLEARLY this is the only use the pokegear possesses. Oh man, when Yosuke finds out... Teddie can't help but snicker over the idea.]

Scoring...?

[Chihiro echoes before he can stop himself, lifting a hand to brush his hair from his eyes.]

You know...scoring! I'm a hot stud after all, and it's my job to score with all the girls! If you want, you can be my first~

[WINK]

[..OH DEAR.]

I...t..that's very...flattering...but we just met...

Huh?! Whaddya mean, of course we just met! Haven't you ever heard of love at first sight? It's in every fairy tale ever!

[He honestly doesn't seem to understand how awkward this is, if anything Teddie wished the same would happen to him. Oh youth...]

You can just think of my as your prince~

W-well...in some circumstances, maybe...

[He's not really sure how to continue from here, so maybe he can just...try to shift the conversation elsewhere...]

You should be able to use your Gear to...contact as many people as you would like, though...um...

...is there anything else you would like to ask, Teddie-san?

I wanna knoooooow iiiiiiifff you wanna smooch~

[At that, Cubchoo seems to have had enough and baps him on the head, a rather annoyed look on her face. Teddie, of course, overreacts and cries out loud, attempting to please his suddenly angered partner.]

I mean- I WANNA KNOW HOW TO GET TO THE NEXT TOWN, PLEASE!

[Chihiro sighs, glancing away for a moment before his smile returns.]

That depends on where you want to go. You could take the ferry from New Bark over to the Kanto region, but it will cost you some money...otherwise, it's a three day walk on Route 29 to get to Cherrygrove.

Oh oh! It's definitely the cherry one! Rise-chan said she'd make me three whole cakes if I meet her there!

[And he is awfully proud about that.]

I don't mean to brag, but today is my birthday~

Oh- you know Rise-san?

[He brightens, obviously glad to hear that. He'd been hoping some of her friends would show up, someday.]

And happy birthday, too. I'm sure she'll be very happy to enjoy those cakes with you, Teddie-san.

You bet, Rise-chan's a real good friend of mine. She... said we could find ourselves together.

[And they did. And it was great.]

ALL my friends are great, they helped me with so much back at...well, back where I came from. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for those guys...

[Sorry, he's getting emotional. There's even the faintest sound of a sniffle sneaking through.]

I'm glad to hear that.

[And he is, really. It's important to have good friends, he thinks.

...but that reminds him of something.]

Actually...you said it's your birthday today, right?

Were you gonna get me a present~

[He means yes.]

[Well, actually.]

Would you like another Pokemon, Teddie-san?

More pets?!

[That seems to have gotten his attention.]

Wowie, how'd I go from "Teddie, you can never have a pet, you aren't responsible enough! Put that lamp down!" to suddenly two whole pets in one day?!
