[A kid with rad shades on adjusts the feed, and if you look closely you can see his left eyebrow is twitching a little.]

Okay, so. After that, [A pause as he looks off screen, away from the end of cycling road that stretches upwards behind him.] report.

[Twitching in that eyebrow just gets worse. It has nearly reached out of control levels. Dave mutters a few swear words and steps out of the frame after kicking the stand on his bike down so it stays in place. He appears a moment later.]

Anyway. Getting to the point of all this. First off, newcomers, yo. Yes this is a real place and if you got questions, just ask'em.

[He holds up a hand and a large Salamence with pointy shades lands quietly at his side.]

To anyone around longer than a week. There was a survey going round before about gathering up who has rolled through here and what worlds have the most representation. We were looking for patterns or something like that. Couldn't find the results, for those of you I talked to. I figure we might as well do another one.

I'll even forgo my red text and do this properly. Because it isn't a joke, it's a fact finding tour of the gear network.

[It switches to text from here.]

Name (obvious)
How many people are here from your universe? (if i need to explain this one shame on you dudes)
How many people have BEEN here from your universe?(as in what people are no longer here and how many times)
What's your universe even like? (what was the most common what themes etc)
How long have you been here? (someone remind me if i forgot anything from the last one)

You can say that again. After those first couple months with Sasuke and Bowser, everything's settled down a lot. It's kind of hard to know what to do with mysel...

...Huh? [That's a quick change in topic. She blinks before answering,] You mean during that one really weird week? He appeared on the back of my Skarmory and nearly crashed us both, so pretty shocked. How come?

Because right after that he popped in on me and my first reflex nearly earned him a hospital trip. [He nearly stabbed him in the face, Tenten.]

What's this about Sasuke and Bowser?

Heh, I almost slit his throat by accident. That'd've been messy.

[Birds of a feather...]

Anyway, you hadn't heard? Some stuff happened a couple months ago between Sasuke and Bowser. I still don't have all the details on how it started, but long story short, we thought Team Rocket was after anyone with a Konoha headband for a long time, when really it was just Bowser. Remember when we first met, I had my hair over my eyes, like this?

[Just a second, and she takes her hair buns out, combing the hair forward and taking off the forehead protector to pull the rest of her hair into a long, low ponytail.]

We were disguising ourselves and everything. Not that it helped, since Bowser found us anyway, but we were able to kick his ass. I took out one of his Pokémon with a knife.

[He takes in the difference with a nod. It was easy to tell it was Tenten but he'd seen her enough times to pick her out of a crowd. Bowser was just...Bowser. Probably a little on the stupid side, if Dave remembers things right. He had some unfinished business with whatever hit the party Rose got hurt at.]

Bowser still a threat or do I have to not worry about how dirty my foot is going to get?

[He will put a foot up his ass if you want the added aid or just a pal along.]

I nearly ran John through, he surprised me in mid-warm up.

[She assumes it had something to do with ass-kicking.]

Nah, I haven't heard from him in months. I'm hoping he got sent back home, really. But this time, I'll be prepared. I've been training my team exclusively to be able to take him on, and I've got enough high-level Pokémon to take him on and win this time.

[She clenches a fist. It would be on!]

But yeah, that whole teleporting-not-jutsu was pretty dangerous on his part.
