#001 | VIDEO (UN; PROFESSEUR)
[It's been a few days since Sycamore arrived in Lunatia, and he feels he's managed to learn the ropes well enough; there's been one thing that has stood out to him more than anything else, however. It's likely not what he should be focusing on, but...well, he's always believed in following one's intuition whenever it strikes.
When his image pops up, it's framed quite nicely, as if this isn't the first time he's spoken to others through a video network. He's seated himself in a quiet corner of Cafe Azure, leaning back in the chair and smiling softly into the camera.]
Salut! I do hope I'm doing this right.
[One moment! A waiter has appeared off-screen bearing a beverage, and the professor chats with them for a moment before he returns his attention to the feed.]
It's come to my attention that most people in this city have no idea what Pokémon are! Such an odd experience, but not an unwelcome one! I see this as an opportunity to educate those who are interested!
[Reaching underneath the table for a moment, he soon emerges with what looks like a small orange fox. Said fox is obviously very pleased with being on-camera, if the little pose it makes has anything to do with it. Sycamore, meanwhile, takes a quick sip of coffee after Fennekin has settled himself on the table, looking momentarily pensive.]
Ah, where to begin with such a topic...I am used to beginner trainers, yes, but not those who have no experience with Pokémon whatsoever! I have been mulling this over for a few days now-
[-while spending ample time in whatever café is nearby, because that helps the academic process-]
-and have decided that perhaps it would be easier if I gave anyone who was interested the chance to contact me personally!
[Smiling again, Sycamore pauses for a moment, as if finished...before slapping the table and surging forward towards the camera, scaring the life out of poor Fennekin-]
I cannot believe this! I have forgotten to introduce myself, amidst all this Pokémon-related excitement! I am Professor Sycamore, a researcher from the Kalos region! It would truly be my pleasure to share my knowledge with any of you who are interested in learning more about these wonderful creatures we call Pokémon! Let me give you an introduction-
[...or not, because as soon as Sycamore is ready to launch into his monologue, two more Pokemon pop up into the video...before the latter one accidentally bumps the camera and switches it off.
...
enchanté...]

Interesting creatures. What made them, Pokemon, was it... different from the average animals, here? And are there more of them, aside from the three?
[There's just the slightest hint of interest in his avatar's tone to learn more.]
no subject
[Even more if we include Alola and Galar, but let's stick with the Kalosian Pokédex for now....or it's going to get confusing.]
And you know, that's actually a very fair question! I haven't had too much of a chance to really experience the creatures of this world, so perhaps they have more in common with Pokémon than I first assumed! Are there any in particular that you like? I'd love to hear about them!
no subject
Anyway. As for the creatures Soundwave likes? There are several, but he just so happens to keep one as a pet. His avatar turns to face off-screen, chrips, and then grabs the device to show his... adorable small rainbow-colored kitten, trotting around in its little legs happily.]
Here's one. Her name is Opal, and she is a cat. Native to this world. I... don't think she has anything special she can do, though. ... Unless you count being overly friendly to anyone as a special talent. Ah, but her fur sparkles and glitter under sunlight.
[That's cool, he thinks.]
no subject
Ah, she is beautiful! Is her species common?
[seriously he kind of wants one, come and be friends with his pokemon dear sparklecat]
