[So, you're in your own world, going about your day. Things are normal, or as normal as they ever get.

Except suddenly, a hole in the air opens up, wherever you may be, and what looks to be a giant flying sea serpent monster comes... well, flying out. It's roaring and looking like it's about to start smashing everything, except a catgirl in armor leaps out the hole after it, before finally planting a sword in the monster's head, sending both of them crashing to the ground, with probably only minor collatoral damage. Probably.

The woman stands up after confirming the monster's death, pulls her sword out, and looks around.]

... Where is this now?

... You have a pet monster, unlike anything I have ever seen before, and you have named it as though it is explosive.

And you do not see why it is necessary.

[JUDGING YOU, CHILD.]

[JUDGING YOU CAT LADY]

He's named after explosions 'cause he does explode. He's a fire-type; that's his whole. . .

[gestures. with his free hand]

Thing!

And you do not see why that is worrying to have with a child?!

[WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS]

I'm tellin' ya, I ain't a child! I'm a Pokemon trainer, yeesh!

[SO INDIGNANT AT BEING CALLED A CHILD]

What is a "Pokemon trainer"?

. . .

What rock were you livin' under to not know what a trainer is?

[nevertheless, he explains]

It's a person who trains these guys-- [gestures again at the Tyhplosion] To fight 'n stuff.

Pokemon are friends and partners, not enemies or monsters to fight 'n be killed. It's insane that anyone out there might think otherwise.

[Her tail twitches, and she looks very annoyed, ears laying flat.]

You train them to fight, but they are not monsters to fight?

[he finally lets go of the cuestick and folds his arms, letting out and annoyed grump]

They fight each other, but not us. And no one dies in those fights!

You force them to fight each other?

No!

[frustrated and angered that she might think otherwise]

That's just cruel.

Is that not what you just said?!

[SHE'S GONNA SMACK YOU]

[oh my god]

Nuh uh! I didn't say that. You assumed it.

You make no sense, child.

Your face makes no sense, weirdo Meowth-lady.

[meowth-lady what]

What.

[no seriously what]

What!

[WHAT]

[he's so unhelpful i'm sorry]

I know not what a "meowth" is, but even I can tell an insult when I hear one.

A Meowth is a type of Pokemon. It's got ears kinda like yours.

[gestures above his head as though indicating her ears]

And it wasn't an insult, I just don't know you're name.

Your remark about my face was.

My name is Neferti, knight of Chetes.

[your* damn it grammar]

Oh. Hehehe, yeah, that one was an insult.

[at least he's owning up to it]

Name's Gold, savior of Johto, twice over! And as long as I'm here, I'm not gonna let ya hurt another Pokemon.

... What is "Johto"?

[yeah.]

. . .

[this conversation is going nowhere. although Gold has finally let his guard down, at least, and he's moved to stand next to Explotaro so he can pat the Typholosion's neck in an attempt to calm him down]

It's where ya are right now, duh. Man, I don't get you, Meowth gal. You go around killin' Pokemon and ya act like ya don't know what they are or where you are. What's up with that?

My name is Neferti.

[SHE'S NOT A MEOWTH, GOSH.]

The monster I have slain is a creature of the ocean. If it was not killed, it would have killed many people. But in the middle of the fight, it seems I was sent here somehow...

[She glances around, and she looks unsettled by the scenery.]
