[It's okay, Egon forgot about the fact that this child is running from the cops, as well. He blinks.]

Yes, I am eager to gain more knowledge about these advanced technologies. Perhaps that will be the key to efficiently utilizing the technology in this world.

[In the background, Solosis bends a gear in half with its psychic powers. Phantump applauds and cheers. Egon doesn't seem to notice.]

I have questions, as well. As far as I am aware, there doesn't seem to be any form of centralized government on this continent, which seems bizarre given the fact that so many things can go wrong with having access to so many creatures that can cause destruction. Perhaps everyone in this dimension has just come to accept this and act justly with regards to the creature, and the presence of police is only to protect the people from themselves. This would also indicate a very strong respect of nature, from what I have already observed from the residents of this dimension.

[Gaige throws her head back with a delighted "HA!" as, in the background, there's the sound of something being broken rather painfully.]

Atta boy, T.T! [Robot fist pump!] Where were we? Oh, right - government. Ugh. Can't really smash the system if we don't have one, right? Or...if the system is caring about nature and junk. Can't really object to that.

[She loses some of her spirit, gaze settling to space in front of her.]

Kiiiind of makes you wonder, you know, when your entire identity is all about being an anarchist and all...you might have some kind of, I don't know, existential crisis.

[A pause, then she throws her hands up in the air and - whoops, there goes the pokegear.]

Aw, come on, there's gotta be someone out there using these dudes for evil! [With a blink, and an "oh, sh*t", she bends down and picks up the device once more, holding it with both hands in a desperate gesture.] I need me some butts to kick, specs!

[pkemeter]

[He raises an eyebrow at being called "specs", but doesn't otherwise react to the Turtonator causing destruction.]

There are other systems to be dismantled other than the physical, actual government, of course, such as societal systems. The government merely exists to reinforce these deeply-entrenched societal systems, and does not serve to question the status quo. Take away government, and these systems could still exist. Therefore, it is possible to still be an anarchist without the existence of government.

[Does that...even make any sense????]

I believe there is also an organization called Team Rocket that works to steal other people's Pokémon, though they haven't troubled anyone recently. Plenty of people have taught them their lesson.

[onetwoboom]

[That's your Gaige assigned nickname, Egon! Better get used to it.

She splits her attention between watching Turtonator rampage and listening to Egon pretty well, and her gaze starts to drift back towards the screen as he goes on.]

...Huh. You really know a lot about this stuff. [She's genuinely appreciative, gotta respect a guy with a wealth of knowledge.] Well then, that's what I'm gonna do! I'm gonna smash those societal systems, metaphorically, and if Team Rocket gets any ideas of coming back, I'm gonna smash them literally! Haha!

[After letting out a cackle, she quickly crouches back down into the alley, and the sounds of Turtonator and commotion quickly follow.]

But, uh, first we gots to make a quick escape. You don't have, like, a giant bird in that lab or anything?

[pkemeter]

[Assigned specs at birth.]

I am a graduate of MIT and a doctor of parapsychology. My line of work necessitates that I am knowledgeable about many different aspects of many different things.

[He blinks slowly, tilting his head towards the camera and frowning.]

I only have infant Pokémon in my possession.

[Said with a completely straight face.]

[onetwoboom]

[Gaige's face would fall with disappointment, but...]

Ohmigosh, babies?

[She's Gaige.]

That little...blobby guy back there- [She waggles a robot finger at the screen.] - just broke a thing with its mind! How old is it?! Is it just, like, letting its power all go haywire out of control right now like whenever anyone has to deal with superpowers in comic books or is it just totally instinctive? How much havoc has he wreaked? Do you have to get chewtoys but, you know, for telekinesis?

[pkemeter]

Her name is Kölliker, although I doubt what pronouns one uses will make much of a difference--her brain is highly developed to the point where the concept of gendered words are unnecessary and extraneous. She is only a few weeks old, and I have been recently attempting to have a psychic conversation with her.

[Egon's proud of his baby, but it doesn't show at all on his expression.]

I have given her several logic problems for her to work through to exercise her mental abilities. For example, the day before two days after the day before tomorrow is Saturday. What day is it today?
