[It takes him a bit to figure out how the hell to start the feed. When he finally does, all PokéConnect is treated to the sight of a deceptively calm man dressed in purple pants and a white shirt tied with a gray obi, the traditional psychic’s outfit. An Absol keeps pacing behind him, as if expecting him to fall over at any moment and preparing itself to catch him. Honestly, that’s because it is, since its new Trainer has had a massive panic attack that caused him to pass out once already, and Absol can sense that there will be more to come. This is going to be a long partnership.]

Morgan, if this is a prank, alright. You got me. You win the war.

[The man holds up his hands in defeat, still unnaturally calm.]

I don’t know how you did it, but you can stop now. I get it. You can make the Pokémon go away. Once again, I have no idea how you did it…

[His throat gets tight. He struggles to keep his breathing even.

Please, Morgan. Please oh please make this stop.]

But you can stop it now. I have a lot of work to do, and giving me strange clothes, asking a woman to pretend to be my mother, and trying to make me doubt my own sanity is not helping.

[Please let this be a prank. Please say he’s not completely insane.]

And you can turn off the music while you're at it.

[Nobita and his own Absol appear on the screen. Tamashii raises a paw to wave at Reid's Absol.]

It's not a trick! Or at least it's not one by your friend! Because I don't know him, so he couldn't be playing this trick on me. I'm sure lots of us don't know him.

And the music can't turn off. But it sounds nice!

[Yang simply nods at Tamashii. Yang is pretty reserved in general.]

Please, just--

[He cuts himself off. Then after a deep breath, he says,] You wouldn't need to know him for this to be a prank. [But his heart is not in it. At this point, he's just concluded that he's schizophrenic.]

Really? But if it's a prank, why does it all feel so real? [As if to prove it, he reaches out to touch Tamashii's fur, moving along until he finds her chest.] I can feel her heartbeat! She has to be real! And so do all the others!

[Stop it, Nobita, you're just rubbing it in his face that he's crazy.]

Yeah. Yeah, there are ways of faking that, usually by getting a real animal and disguising it somehow. That's why there are so many performers that claim to have mythical animals.

[Yang pads towards Reid and nudges his leg with a shoulder. Hey. Hey, Reid. If it'll make you stop saying he's not real, he'll totally let you feel his heartbeat.]

What kind of real animal would she be then? [He touches the blade on her head lightly.] I've never seen a real animal with a horn like this, and it's attached to her head pretty well...

Possibly one with a genetic condition.

[Please. Just stop it, Nobita.

Reid runs his hands through his hair, turning his gaze towards the sky. That seems to be the only normal thing in this place.]

Maybe a species neither of us were aware of.

Well, if she's a new kind of animal, why can't this place be a new kind of place? [Gestures at the sky semi-dramatically]
