[Neku comes on screen, looking very unamused. A little bit of Goldenrod City, not far from the Game Corner, can be seen behind him, and at least he thought to turn his shirt inside out for this because what is buying more clothing?! He seems to be sitting on the sidewalk as people bustle by.

It's been a few hours since he woke up here and any Rockets in the area might have heard him demanding answers before just going outside to stew instead. Checking out the weird chat phone seemed wise, even if he has little interest in chatting with strangers. This might be the best way to find out where the hell he IS]

So, show of hands for every one stuck in this weird delusion.

[As he's talking a Meowth tottles up with a potion in it's paws, offering it to him]

Huh? Erm, thanks.

Okay, so it's too real to be a dream, but I guess just asking what's going on would be too easy.

[The cat comes back again with a... Clefairy keychain? With someone's keys still on it]

Where did you...? Whatever. Does EVERYONE have kleptomaniac animals or is it just m-

NO, NO PUT IT BACK!

[Oh that's a struggling pokeball yeah the cat doesn't look ashamed at all even with someone yelling in the background. Neku jolts up and grabs his pokemon and bolts, the feed cutting off]

[As Isogu continues to neatly evade Nagi, the boy feels his face growing hot with frustration. If he could, he would have forced the Pokemon away from Neku a long time ago, without so much as lifting a finger.

Leaning back in his seat, Nagi pulls away, instead reaching a hand up to nudge the Abra snoozing on his shoulder, causing him to stir and lift his head blearily. Once the Pokemon is awake, he whispers something in his ear.

There's a moment of delay as the Abra fights to wake himself up fully, a bit confused by the command, since he recognizes the Pokemon before him as part of the team.

He lifts his claws, and suddenly Isogu is pulled from Neku's shoulder and up into the air, startling the Pikachu and causing him to kick his legs a little and cry out in protest.]

HOLY SHIT

[SORRY NAGI BUT HE DIDN'T EXPECT PSYCHOKINESIS WITH LIVING PEOPLE OKAY... even if it's actually Abra]

[Neku's sudden exclamation doesn't phase Nagi at all- in fact, all it manages to do is cause him to smile ever so slightly, pleased by these developments, clearly. The Abra carefully lifts Isogu and deposits him back where he was on Nagi's shoulder before releasing his hold.

Isogu's ears twitch, and he and Nagi share a brief glance before he settles down a bit, his posture a bit stiff, but subdued. Doesn't look like he's going to be going anywhere any time soon.]

What? Haven't you seen a Psychic Pokemon before?

[At the question Neku just pictures himself with his kinesis pin squishing Nagi over and over with the slot machines. If it's not already asleep the Abra might even pick it up as he's is projecting this wish with a fiery hate passion that would make trolls blush.]

That's literally the fifth pokemon I've seen period. Don't be a smart ass.

[The Abra isn't asleep yet, and the blatant rage rolling off of Neku causes him to perk up a bit, claws tightening their grip on Nagi's shoulder.]

You've got a lot to learn, then.

[And by a lot he means over 600 Pokemon worth.

And something about the way that Nagi says that betrays a more hidden meaning than just having to do with Pokemon.]
