[When the feed starts, Gundam's holding the Soul Badge up to the camera...and wearing one of those scarves Chihiro was offering a week ago.]

Such a confounding challenge. Though I suppose I should have expected as match from the toxic terrors lurking within the Gym's walls.

[He might've had some problems with the invisible walls. Apparently his so called All Seeing Eye didn't really do him much good there.]

Next, I shall prepare for challenging the precognitive powers of the Saffron City Gym. It seems that even I, Gundam Tanaka, the Supreme Overlord of Ice, can become a creature of routine now that our ominous October is at an end.

[...it was probably a lot worse than ominous, but ominous October sounds cool and spooky doesn't it?]

What I would like an answer to is thus, has the same happened to the rest of you, or do you still tremble in fear at the otherworldly forces that transformed this world?

[He probably could've picked a less intimidating way to ask that, but then well, he wouldn't be Gundam, would he?]

Such things are hardly surprising. The mortal masses are often the type to play with forces they cannot possibly begin to understand, much less control.

[Never mind the fact that a lot of Dark-types can't even begin to be described as...what he just said.]

You cannot be serious. To claim such a thing is...is...inconceivable!

It most certainly would have. Especially considering there are far more humane options of restraining such creatures.

[Okay, look, he's not trying to scold the guy with the giant mech, but he sort of is. Sorry.]

Eh? What's wrong with it?

So they're your preferred type of choice? That's a little funny, considering...mine is Psychic, ironically enough.

[God fighting Sabrina is going to be a Thing once he gets to her.]

But it's been easier to branch out, lately. Especially since Pokemon have been happening to me more often than I've been actually catching them.

True. My suit's chest floodlight would be enough to daze any non-blind Pokémon and soften them up for capture. Along with everyone else on the field, but the damage wouldn't be permanent.

[Spoilers: The Bisidian Space Pirates do not play fair. At all.]

[...he would bring up the whole thing about giving one's true name away so freely, but he's not even sure if that's a real name and what is going on]

Very well then, Draculaura. I look forward to meeting such a unique individual.

[He thinks he handled that well.]

Ya can make preparations? Like what?

Mm. This sort of thing... doesn't seem to be that uncommon, does it? I mean... odd things happening.

Might be to you. But even if I helped, wouldn't stop people from being idiots and getting bitten by things like that.

[God, that's a relief, Botan's still practicing with non-sweets cooking and hasn't been able to example it for her Pokemon. She may be the reaper, but she certainly doesn't want to kill anyone.]

Lovely, then I'll send a batch ahead to--was it Saffron next? Anyway, it'll be ready and waiting by the time you get there.

[Don't ask her how she knows, it's mysterious Botan Things, clearly.]

By the way, is that a new scarf, Tanaka-kun? It's [cute] nice.

How could one enjoy seeing the natural order rendered asunder by such...catastrophic chaos?

Dark is merely one of the preferred types of I, Gundam Tanaka, Herald of Destruction.

[...look, he likes all the types. But yes, Dark and Poison are probably tied for first with him, with electric making a close second because a lot of electric types are adorable.]

It has also been quite some time since I have added a new addition to my Empire.

[...oh no that's really cute actually.]

I see. I'm a bit curious...is there a type you particularly dislike?

[For Nagi it's...actually probably Dark types, but you know. He's just a little biased.]

Such tactics may be underhanded, but would certainly be preferable.

[He's fine with that since it doesn't involve any Pokemon going squish. Or well, he would've been fine with it had it been an option.]

Heh. As if I would reveal such a strategy so easily. Then some unwitting fool could attempt to use it and invite their own destruction!

[He's not calling Joker a fool, so much as well, anyone listening in. Not that there's a real strategy here besides training his Pokemon anyway.]

Peculiar happenings do seem to be a constant in this world, almost as much as the creatures that inhabit it.

Who's to say? Perhaps if you had intervened, we would've reached a conclusion sooner.

It is indeed. It was a gift from...from a friend.

[He has a hard time saying that because having friends are weird. Also because he's unsettled because HOW DID SHE KNOW?!]

Are you sure it's an enchantment and not just a part of this world? This is a place with magic ledges and nightmare inducing Pokédex entries.

[He could go on. Yamask, Parasect, Haunter, Gorebyss... For as bright and cheery as the world appears, there's definitely a dark undertone.]

Don't get me wrong. I'd like to get to the bottom of things-- there's no way you can chalk all of it to Legendary Pokémon or evil teams. Sometimes it's predictable, like ghost types possessing people, but then you get living glitches and that whole mess with the fusions...

Heck, a few years back, we got dragged into some weird, nightmare dimension.

[N...no, Gundam, for that part at least it's just observation--it's pretty obviously a different make of scarf! F-friends notice stuff about each other, it's normal.]

Aww, that's sweet. [Yes. It's sweet, she thinks it's sweet that Gundam has good friends that give him janky scarves. The smile is both genuine and a silent challenge of "try to argue with that, I dare you."] Well then, I'd better remember for the record to probably not get you a scarf for Christmas, I don't think I can compete with something that's clearly handmade.

[Even if he did, Joker's been called it plenty of times before.]

Oooh, I see. Very clever of ya. I suppose I'll just have ta come up with my own ideas when I finally get there myself.

Might take a while, 'tho... This place is pretty big, innit?

There's nothing wrong with a little underhandedness if it keeps you in one piece. Especially when you're up against a mix of poisonous sludge and magma.

Look, kid, even I had no idea what was going on. And I've dealt personally with gods.

Mm. What is the strangest Pokémon you've seen--?
