[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!]

[Words failed him as the countenance of his-
king, friend, ally
Appeared on the screen. For after all, his last memory of her was of his 2nd eternal death in his life, no more and no less. To see her again in such a short notice meant that this world did not kidnap him.
No, it was some sort of conjuration his mind brought upon moments before his death. There was no way for Lancelot of the Lake to gaze upon her ever again due to his accursed status as a Servant.
And yet her face is still there, staring with uncertainty, just like that time.]
We meet again.
[Perhaps it was yet another illusion, but Lancelot of the Lake could be seen sporting the barest hint of an ironic smile.]
video;
[ Her voice trails off as his words repeat in her mind, the woman trying to bring herself to speak to him in return. ]
Lan...Lan... [ Slumping to the ground, she'll hold the PokeGear close to her chest, the rest of her words indecipherable. ]
video;
[After all, he had failed all of them, both as a knight and as their friends. Lancelot of the Lake deserved nothing but death for all his misdeeds to the kingdom and the unholy sacrifices he had met in order to gain his love. It was only fitting that he and Guinevere went their separate ways after Arturia's death, and for him to be a warrior clouded by madness whose rage ended at her sword.]
video;
Lancelot. [ His name spills forth as she chokes back a sob, fumbling with the gear. To be seen crying was something she could never allow, so the gear will end up tangled up in her skirt. ] My dear, sweet knight.
video;
[Memories flashed by, neither of them are happy, nor are all of them sad. Of the times the Knights of the Rounds spent together, as brothers. Never, in any of them, he found his king to show emotion apart from her slight smiles here and there, for a king is a figure detached from her subject. A figure that is higher than humans.
To hear her so... weak, vulnerable and filled with despair hurt his heart so. And yet.
She still called him her knight, a title he so long threw away, he doesn't deserve that title, not after their tales' end, and his second death at her hands.]
video;
[ Her voice pleads with him to see reason. Their past has been nothing but pain, so when he denies the title again, she's only filled more with the despair. Eleven years ago it tore at her heart and now the damage that had been healed finds itself open once more. ]
video;
[No knight would ever do all his deeds, let him serve as a warning to the knights who were torn astray from his path. Let him die, condemned as the man who once was a knight. Those were the fates befitting of him, as opposed to being let go.
Ah, was that why he hated her so? His memories were clear and his reason was that of one who wished for an end by her hands.]
And yet you still let me live, tell me, King Arthur.
Why?
video;
[ Nice job breaking it, hero.
Because here's Saber in rare form; a tear stained face and sobs that leave her gasping for breath. ]
video;
[It was true, he had died, hadn't he? Does that mean his quest for his death was over?
Then...
What was left? What was left of Lancelot of the Lake? Was it his shade? Or merely his name? He doesn't know. He doesn't know.
All he hoped was a death, one of eternal sleep, not of a journey in a bright and lush world brimming with life
Was this his second chance? He know not of it, but there was one thing he was sure of. His stubborn mind took a chance to think it over.]
...Answer me, not as my king, not as the King of Briton.
Answer me as a friend.
Do you still forgive me, even after all that has happened?
video;
As a friend? [ Calming down, she falls into a silence as she thinks it over. To think of one of her knights as a friend, it's a rather new experience. For those who sat at the Round Table had all turned their back to her... ] As a friend, I would like to forgive you.
[ She pauses to let that sink in before continuing. ]
In person. Such things lose their meaning when it is over this thing.
video;
[...Wait.
What did he just say.]
video;
Ah... That is right. I should fetch you a Pokemon or two to increase your team's chances of survival.
video;
[Look at that smiling twin of him just making a. Manly pose, before a hair yank by Lancelot turned it into a black and red creature: A Zorua, as they say.
The Zorua looks a bit sheepish though.]
video;
video;
This is completely new to him so he's just... going to answer...]
Yes, it is called a Zorua by one of the communication device's function.
video;
[ Pointing at the screen. ]
When you arrive here in Celadon City, my knight, we shall breed it!
video;
[While it is pleasing to see her so spirited, he still doesn't believe that he has the honor to hold the ti- RECORD SCREECH]
...
Breed?
video;
video;
[It's also awkward for him to call her that okay.]
Though, these creatures breed?
video;
video;
[This is going to sound so awkward, but... oh god how does it even work with these creatures.]
So you... mate them with others to get even more powerful ones?
video;
... In fact, you would benefit from one. Might I interest you in a gift, my kn---Lancelot?
video;
[Is he even worth a gift from Arturia? He knew that this awkward relationship has just... started. A few seconds ago.
He's a bit confused over this, okay. So pardon him as he just thinks.]
...That would be lovely, I think.
video;
Then I shall send you an egg over. [ A Riolu one to be exact. It has nothing to do with the fact that her own was named after him. ] It will be delivered by a dragon. Please do not kill it.
If there is nothing else to discuss, I should leave you to your travels.
video;
[THEN AGAIN IF HIS CREATURE IS A FAE-LIKE... SHAPESHIFTER THING, A DRAGON IS NOT FAR OFF THE MARK.]
