[Well, something or someone's definitely shaking the gear, judging from how wobbly the feed is when it turns on. In fact, it takes for a while for the wobbling to stop and a curious face peered into it, as if looking really puzzled over the Gear, which is not surprising considering wow look at that black armor, it's totally sinister right.]

...?

[And then for a second, he started smiling derpily and waves at the camera, as there's a sigh from off-the-screen.]

...While that is amusing, I'm afraid I'd have to ask you to return to your true form.

[The person on the screen just turned to the sides and pouted, which nets him another sigh as a... twin appeared on the screen with an exasperated sigh. As well as his somber (and pretty) face pretty much clashing with the derpy smile right besides him.]

Pardon me, residents of this country, but do you happen to know the way to Fuyuki City? The map I've been given was... inadequate, to put it simply.

I am Lancelot, and I look forward to your answers.

[The feed then cuts!]

The Zorua?

[Apparently, no one told Lancelot yet.]

It's yours. Everyone who came here get a Pokemon starter as our partner.

...And what is a Pokémon, if I may ask?

[This seemed strange, talking to a child about a creature he had just found.

He's gone through weirder things though.]

They're this world's native animals. Instead of, say, sheep or cows, they have Pokemon instead. With a few of them resembling animals we know, but aren't entirely the same.

Like their powers.

[Animals from earth can fight, but Pokemon who can use fire, electricity and so forth? Would have an edge.

They reminds him a lot of demons, on a near daily basis.]

...I am aware of that, yes.

[And now he wonders.]

Is battling their only purpose in life?

It's not their only purpose. One of my Pokemon doesn't enjoy battling as much as the others.

[He only gave his Clefairy enough training for self-defence.]

But battling is still a big part of this world's culture.

[Then that is comforting, as it is part of their culture, then he'll be able to give it his all without losing other's respect.]

It is good to know that.

Are you starting out as a Trainer or a Breeder, Mister Lancelot?

The book seems to imply that I am but a Trainer. Does it mean that I have to train them for battles?

That's right. Trainers are expected to train them for battles and to challenge the gym leaders for badges.

[...Well, that's quite strange, badges as a proof of victory is something he's really not familiar with considering the age he came from.]

Badges?

Badges. They're proof of victory over the gym leaders, as well as...well, granting permission to use certain moves outside of battle.

...Certain moves?

[And even more questions arises, y e p.]

Yeah. They're mostly moves that aid the trainer, such as carrying us while surfing or flying.

...

[Hang on.

He's really confused here.]

You mean to say that they need extra training to perform a basic function?

No, not like that. It's more like...they can still fly and swim like normal. But doing it while carrying us is "sealed".
