[In a clearing in one of the parks are Hiccup and Toothless. Hiccup is in the middle of trying to fit a saddle on the Charizard.]

Alright, bud. Lemme know if the straps are too tight or too loose.

[Toothless gives a questioning growl at that. The fire-type is unusually expressive for his species, but there's still a language barrier to work past.]

You mean how? I dunno. Tap once if it's too loose, twice if it's too tight, three if it's good to go.

[VIDEO]

[There are a few false starts, the video coming on for a second or two, focusing on a face, before going off again. After the third or fourth time that this happens, the camera pulls away, a young woman staring at the world with a bit of a perplexed look.]

Is this on? How can you tell? Is there a light or--

Oh!

[It looks like she's found it.]

There we go. My name is Elhaym, Elly for short. This is what people in Union use to communicate, right? It seems pretty convenient. What else is it used for? Does everyone in Union have one, or just the Enlightened? Are Enlightened really that common here?

[That's a lot of questions, Elly. She smiles a little at the camera.]

Sorry, I just got here a few days ago, and I have a lot of questions. I heard that people in Union "bond" with their Pokemon? How does that work? Oh, and speaking of work, how does one find work here?


[ACTION]

[Midday, one of the parks in Union. A redhead walks briskly like a woman on a mission, avoiding looking behind her as much as possible. Occasionally she'll glance back, make a bit of a face, and then continue to walk with her head down a bit. She looks like she is trying to get away from something, but what could it be?]

Reee?

[It's a Mareep, tailing her, doing the best that it can with its stubbly little legs to keep up with the woman. Hey, where are you going? Excuse me? Miss? Excuse me? You're going to get yourself lost! Excuuuuuuse me!

Stopping, the woman sighs hard, bending down as she puts a hand out, stopping the electric sheep in its tracks.]

Why are you following me? I don't know what you want, I can't understand a word you're saying?

Maree?

[The Mareep tilts its head to the side and Elly deflates a little. You're really cute, but what does she even do? A little help?]

[ Okay so she's totally just trying to save money from going to Versus with this but... ]

Anyone interested in some organized battles? Spars? That sort of stuff. Me and mine are looking for a new challenge which isn't gunna be risking our lives.

[ A beat ]

If you win, I can treat you to a meal.

[ There, guiltless. ]
