[Video/Action; New Bark Town]

A question.

[It took him a while, but the relieved face on the screen could notify you of the fact that he actually got the Gear working the way he wanted it to.]

While I appreciate the 'hospitality' that's been bestowed to me, I have something important to go back to.

[there's some awkwardness as a Budew peeked into the feed, while the dark-haired male let out a small sigh.]

Not now, little one.

[Gently pushing her away from the feed, he's going to continue speaking.]

Thus, if someone could kindly lead me back to Fuyuki City, I would be thankful for your aid.

[...And with that said.]

Ah, if you need something to call me by, Lancer would be fine.

[The feed's going to be cut off at this point.]

Take caution with your words, Lancer. Weapons are outlawed in this land, as are most forms of combat.

[ Hence the surprise she displayed at the initial offer. ] We will have to find a more creative way of finishing our battle.

[ But at least now both of her hands work. Huzzah! ]

Unfortunately, I am ill-equipped in terms of knowledge of this strange place, so I'm not able to give you a solution just yet.

[...at the very least there could be finally a way to reach the conclusion of that sought after battle, right?]

If you have any questions I may answer, let me hear them now.

[ Nothing like him to bring out her CHIVALRY side. ]

I suppose I should start with this little one.

[Going to show her the Budew he started with—]

We're supposed to train them, yes?

Against various other Pokemon. That is a Budew, a grass and poison type Pokemon. Sensitive to changing temperature, the bud blooms when it's warm, releasing toxic pollen.

[ ... Saber, don't recite the PokeGear. ] Er, that is to say you should fight against Pokemon that are weak to those types.

...Poison?

[Don't mind him staring back at his Budew.

It's just a... bud.]

Yes, poison.

[ ... ] Do not tell me you are making the mistake of underestimating it due to the size or... it's... cuteness

...Well, it still looked too young for it's age to be able to do that.

[then again, this place is strange enough as it is.]

Starter Pokemon are generally weaker than ones hatched from an egg, but it is possible for baby Pokemon to be exceptionally strong. I doubt that to be the case with your own.

How interesting though. To start with something like that?

I take it they're not a common choice for beginners?

[there's no other way he could take that reaction as okay.]

Even the smallest bud could be nurtured into a formidable fighter, if they're trained well.

Poetic, but no. My surprise comes from having done battle with you before...

[ People often started off with Pokemon identical to them in some way, didn't they? So why was his a plant? ]

Never mind it any. Have you been well in this land thus far?

...As well as a confused person is supposed to be.

[...which means he's fine and not hating everything right now.]

It is a little too much to take it at once, is it not? I wonder what I may do to alleviate your concerns any.

Thank you, but you've done a lot for me already.

[And to be honest it's making him feel bad for not trying to find things out for himself due to being a little bit disoriented.]

So don't worry too much about me, Saber.

Oh, am I being bothersome? [ Saber... ]

I just know what it is like to suddenly appear somewhere new and unknown. Having lived here a number of years has made it easier to provide aid to newcomers after all.

Years?

[That's the immediate thing he kind of... zoned in on.]

Well, that is a bit of assumption. [ She's rounding it up now. ]

I will have been here for two years in the next couple weeks. I know I hardly look a day older, but that is the truth.

[ Except she looks several days older. Weeks, months, even age with the way she stresses about things. Her skin's pale enough that it looks like she doesn't even bother to go anywhere near the sun these days. ]

[...He's noticed, but he figured that if she's keeping a front, then there's no need to press her about that.

Well, not now, in any case.]

Two years are still quite the length of time for one to spend in a different world, though.

[no shit sherlock.]

[ Yeah, she's looking at him with that exact expression read out on her face easily. ]

Yes, but you learn to adapt. Do not think for a moment I have forgotten what it takes to be a knight during my stay here. Combat may be forbidden, but never forgotten.

Of course not, it'd be far too cruel of me to underestimate you just from that fact alone.

[he's not that kind of person after all.]

[ She just has to reaffirm it. Pride and all that. ]

Excellent. Will you be heading to Goldenrod City anytime soon?

[There's a nod to answer her question and:]

Yes, The Prince of Light was gratuitous enough to offer me a free lift from Violet City.

[Going to let that sink in...]

The Prince of Light? I was not aware there was such a title among the kings of this land.

[ To be fair, she only knows about "King" Bowser and her good friend. ]

...Well, I believe he also goes by Lancer in this land.

[...dropping the bombshell here.]

He is a prince?!

[ Why would he tell her that when they've been so close and informal with each other!!! Not that he has any idea, but her reaction is anything but stoic. ]

I see. I was his ally this entire time and never knew.
