One Ghost

[The pokegear flips on and there is a very confused, somewhat bewildered looking kid looking into the camera.]

Okay, um. I ...really don't know what's going on here. This isn't my house, or my mom, and this place is definitely not Blithe Hollow.

Is anyone listening on this? I- this is crazy. I'm walking around this place like I got trapped in a video game- I don't think I've even played this version. What does- Ack!

[And it's at this point, Norman gets cut off because he's being bodily tackled by his pokemon, which can be seen as a Duskull shaped blur. Norman grumbles off screen as he's at the mercy of its affection.]

I'm just making a call, I'm not going anywhere- Okay, okay we can go in a minute. I kind of need you to get off me first.

[The funny thing is that he's actually also having a conversation with it.]

[It looks like he's having a conversation with it? That's what pings Raz the most, his Gardevoir off-screenly using powers to levitate up the 'gear. On screen, a Weavile is next to the kid, a Hoothoot is floating around behind him dancing around a Charizard, and a Woobat on his head.

All but the Weavile have goggles on.]
Hey -- are you talking to that guy?
[Raz may have his Gardevoir talking to him right now. Telepathy is awesome Norman.]

[Oh, hey, a response. Norman sort of crawls his way over to the gear while Duskull is still latched onto him.]

Um. Yeah?

[Is that weird? Because Duskull just keeps talking to him. He half responded with a defensive "YOU CAN SEE HIM?" but stopped himself because duh pokemon.]

[Raz suddenly has a grin on his face, as R tries to be the voice of reason. Why? Well, Raz had done this before.]
Razputin, I doubt he's a psychic. There are many reasons he could understand that spectre, that spirit.
Hey, but he could be! There's so few people who can hear you guys - it's pretty annoying. [And then he looks back to the screen, instead of behind it. His eyes, though hidden, are kind of wide and excited.] I can understand them too! Are you a psychic?
[because if you are it would be so awesome another psychic around his age--]

[Norman blinks a little while Raz talks to his own. Only, Norman can't seem to understand what R is saying.]

I- no. I don't think so. I just talk to the dead, sorry.

[There's a slight flicker of a frown, before Raz grins more. He'd never heard of somebody like that! That's...]
That's cool! Sure, my powers are cooler, but you could use those powers for quite a few things!
[raz bby]

[What. Norman didn't know what to make of this guy. Was that a compliment or an insult? He just didn't know.]

I- Sure, I guess. What ...can you do, then?

[Meeting other people with powers was still a pretty big deal, though. Back home he'd sort of convinced himself he was the only one outside of his family.]

[Norman, do you know what you've gone. The reaction from the Weavile - suddenly vanishing from the screen - might give you a hint, as Raz actually grabs his 'gear.]
Well... I can do just about anything! I am a Psychonaut, after all - a super-cool secret agent trained in the powers of psychics!
[He gives a firm nod, before a bit of a pout.]
Even if this place robbed most of my powers. I can't even set people on fire anymore.
[raz
i hope you're not trying to scare norman]

You're just a kid. There's no way you're a secret agent.

[What. Norman is eying you pretty suspiciously.]

Have you really set people on fire?

[The part about the place robbing this kid of his powers, catches his attention. Norman noticed a very distinct lack of dead as of arriving here, but he'd blamed it on how creepy this place kind of was. He didn't think to ascertain if it was actually the absence of his own abilities. Which ...frankly, kind of freaked him out.]

[Raz suddenly frowns even more. The rest of his Pokemon, sans Woobat, seem to be getting a bit nervous, as Raz sounds unhappy.]
Of course I'm a secret agent! I saved all the adults and other guys from evil mind tanks, after all!
[Raz likes bragging. He doesn't like being called just a kid, and he doesn't like being called a liar. But then, he gives a bit of a nod.]
Well... mostly mental people.

Like, crazy people?

[Is this guy insane?!]

No! It's--
[Suddenly, the 'gear turns off for but an exact minute. And then there is a ghost in the face of it.]
...um. Sorry about Razputin.

[Norman pauses. Oh, hey its a ghost.]

That's okay, I guess. Um. He's just not making a lot of sense.

...He's just... excitable.
[As the Drifblim is speaking calmly, letting the wind float him around a little.]
And he forgets that not everybody is from a world such as his... has this land been explained to you yet?

Is he really a secret agent?

[You know, for clarification purposes.]

Not really, but it looks a lot like a video game I've played.
