[Audio only. The voice is a rather pleasant baritone.]
Good evening, denizens of this new world, human and pokemon alike. I am Xemnas. Perhaps there will be a few of you who recognize such a name.
[His pleasant tone never wavers; there's almost no emotional inflection at all.] This is a world I know little of. I have studied the information I have been able to find, and this little foal has been very dutiful in attempting to aid me in that search. [At this, there is a small, cheerful-sounding "Blitz!" in the background.]
If one could supply further information, or where to find it, I would be ... grateful. But tell me, countless unknown strangers, is it truly so that the humans of this world avoid combat in favor of asking their pokemon to do it for them? My small friend here seems incapable of fighting anything much tougher than a tumbleweed- [A protesting whinny this time.] -and yet I am to rely on it for my defense against all this strange world might strike with?
[It's thoughtfully said, as if this 'Xemnas' has no investment in the question or possible answers.]
[OOC: yeah I stole the sample post off my app. ;_; guilty.]

[Pictures]
Oh I'd die very soon in a situation like that. [Well she sounds remarkably blase about that fact.] At least you don't have to worry about that, right?
Or did no one tell you we can't die here?
[More sounds]
I did not have to worry about such a thing previously. There is one familiar thing, then.
[Now that's not precisely true, but there's really no way to tell at all, and Xemnas wasn't about to explain time travel to this girl, it'd take way too long.]
The lack of death in this world as well raises a further question about why the humans are afraid to use their own weapons. Merely lack of a challenge?
[A picture is worth a thousand words (but Xemnas has over nine)]
[That would be the most impressive thing she's heard all day.]
Well I think it's simple. They're playing their role. The Pokemon fight, the humans guide them. To them it's how the world works. It wouldn't make sense to change the order, especially since it seems to work for them.
[What?? Over nine thousand??? (sounds)]
[He sounds faintly amused, as if it's an old and familiar joke.]
There is much that makes internal sense to a world that to an outsider seems unusually strange. I have heard that ledges are a difficult hurdle to overcome if one wishes to go up.
