[A blurry splotch of white and red fills the screen, before the camera zooms out to show a Ponyta standing in an open field. It sniffs the air curiously before it faces the camera again, and trots over as a girl speaks in the background]

Hey, careful there-oof!

[The Ponyta's face fills the screen and the camera jerks around wildly, before focusing on a large, blue eye. It blinks as it zooms out again, finally revealing the owner of the pokegear: a young girl in her early teens, with an angular, heartshaped face and long, bright pink hair. The pokemon nuzzles against her, and she sighs as she strokes its nose with her free hand. Compared to a human, it appears quite small; about the size of a miniature horse. Once it settles down, the trainer turns her attention to the camera. Her brow furrows as she begins to speak]

Is anyone out there? I just got done with that professor guy, and – look. I don't know what you want us to do with these “battles”, but first of all, I don't have any time for that. I've got more important things to worry about right now than some silly game! And second...

[looks back at her Ponyta] Even if I was interested, these guys don't really look like fighting material to me. Maybe if they were bigger, or stronger, or....huh?

[Pauses, and blinks while Ponyta moves away – there's a rustling sound as it nudges the bag off-camera. She sighs, and the camera jerks a bit as she pulls it away from him]

...look, all I need is a way out of here. If any of you guys know something... well, I'm all ears.

[and off goes the transmission]

Yeah, that's right.

[Quite the operation they have here, then. But what motive could there possibly be for hauling in foreign teenagers alongside FBI agents? It's fishy, to say the least.]

And where were you before you got dumped in this place? Were you still in America, or were you somewhere else?

[She's hoping to hear that he was in Japan. If they both came from the same place - or close to it -, then maybe they aren't so far away from home]

It's hardly worth being called a part of America, where I was. Little backwater town in the middle of nowhere called Twin Peaks.

[He pauses, then decides he might as well go into specifics; it's frustrating enough that no one else does around here, and it couldn't hurt anything anyway.]

Washington State. Five miles south of the Canadian border, twelve miles west of the state line.

[Frowns slightly - it's kinda rude to talk about your home town like that, isn't it? Besides, it can't be that bad...

...though, to be honest, she's less upset about his attitude, and more for the fact that her idea was blown completely out of the water. If, by some crazy chance he was in Japan, then maybe they weren't too far from home... she sighs shakes her head]

So much for that. I have no idea where we are now, unless they stuck us in the middle of the ocean somewhere.

[Takes a deep breath]

But I know we aren't going to find anything here, either. I think I'm going to hit the road, soon - maybe there'll be something in the next town over.
