I suppose introductions would be appropriate, now that the paperwork is done with...

[A tall, shirtless man with dishevelled blonde hair and cool eyes is on the other end of the feed. Dress codes? Pshaw, maybe later. His coat is just casually slung over the back of the chair. He seems restless, idly twirling the pen in his hand and shifting in his chair. When he speaks, it's with a careless British accent that sounds constantly sarcastic, somehow.]

Greetings, students and faculty! I am Liquid Snake, your new biology and public speaking teacher. What a bore... Ah, well. I suppose we do as we must.

Oh - and before I forget, this is a unique opportunity. Not since the Middle East have I found myself among such potential soldiers. Play nice, children. I'll be keeping an eye on you. If you're any good, perhaps I'll even be facing you on the battlefield...

[With a wicked little laugh, he turns it off.]

Starting with humans and working our way outwards. I can't promise to specify these... Pokemon.

[...that thing looks so very tasty.]

[idealisms]

It is preferable that you learn of them. They are in great abundance, and they are incredible creatures. To spread knowledge of Pokemon, their behaviors, and their environments would be enlightening and useful for the next generation.

[ Look at how tasty it is, rolling off of N's hand and landing on his keyboard. What a cute, yummy thing! ]

[shirtphobia]

Oh, I'll be learning of them, I'm sure. They look to be very interesting creatures.

[And very delicious ones. It almost makes him smile.

...ok, he's totally smiling.]

Perhaps I'll even write about them.

[idealisms]

Yes, good! They are very worth learning about. I highly recommend doing so. They are very intelligent, friendly, powerful, extraordinary, sweet... ah, I could go on. They are perfect as they are.

[ He scoops Joltik back up, holding it up nice and close to the camera. ]

This is an example of a Pokemon. This is Joltik, an electric- and bug-type. Joltik, would you like to say hello?

[ The Pokemon looks back up to him, then back to the camera. N, camera. Camera, N.

It then smashes its cheeks into the camera. HELLO. ]

...

It understands what you say? Quite intelligent indeed. [God, he feels stupid, but-]

Hello, Joltik. [Wave. Well, why not?]

So I assume 'pokemon' is the type rather than the species?

[ video ]

[idealisms]

Indeed. Of the type called 'Pokemon', there are more than 500 different species. An impressive amount, isn't it? There are plenty of them around.

[ As for Joltik, it starts waving. HELLO HELLO. PLEASE DON'T EAT ME. ]

[shirtphobia]

[Hm. He supposes eating it isn't a good idea until he knows if it's poisonous or not.

And eating intelligent creatures would feel strange.]

Are they all arachnids?

[ video ]

[idealisms]

Of course not! Pokemon fall under many, many different species. Some resemble arachnids, whereas others resemble shrews, canines, and even objects. The variety is astounding, truly, and you will see plenty of them here.

[ Joltik skitters off in the meantime to nibble on a nearby bowl of Pokeblock. Looks like someone's hungry. ]

[shirtphobia]

My, my. I'm sure I've got plenty to learn, then, as well as teach. You seem to know a lot about these creatures, Mister-?.

[idealisms]

N, N Harmonia. I am a college freshman. Being here, you will meet many Pokemon, so you will have plenty to learn, indeed. Of course, as a result, you will also learn quickly.
