[ The video flickers. It comes on to show the face of a man. Then off. Then on again. Then, there's no video, but you can here indistinct mumbling in the background.
Finally, on, again. There's a man wearing some sort of uniform. The floor behind him is strewn with stuff; obviously, he's dug through all the supplies that came in his little ( Read more... )

Firstly, you're holding it upside-down.
Secondly, your current location is a separate world from your home.
Thirdly, due to a paradox of time and space, the best theory available would suggest that you are also still where you last remember yourself in your home world. You needn't worry about keeping your daughter waiting.
Fourthly, leave that organization if you have any sense of what's good for you.
That's all.

He's got a lot of questions. But first, a slight clarification. Or justification; however you prefer to see it. ]
I'm aware a lot of people consider those in the State Military to be dogs, but really, it's in place to protect the citizens.
Plus, it's really the Alchemists that are troublesome anyways!
[ Okay, he's kidding about the last part. But, yes, Maes does think that by "organization" you're referring to the State Military. ]

I've never heard of it. Are you sure you've got the right person?

I've switched us to a secure line.
Team Rocket is the name of an organized crime ring that bears the large R across the shirt. The uniform is in your floor. In other words, this world has placed you in it.
By and large, their trade is Pokémon theft. Pokémon are the strange creatures that are kept inside the red and white balls, such as the Eevee you have there. Is that clear? Belonging to that organization requires that you steal from other people, amongst other criminal activities.
Or, given that these Pokémon are living creatures, perhaps the more proper term would be abduction.

... Who is this?
You mean to tell me, that I've somehow just been signed up for some crime organization without even knowing about it, and now I'm required to steal from other people?
Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?

And how, exactly, do you propose I leave this organization? After all, if I've somehow been signed up without my consent, then I'm thinking leaving it would take a little more than just saying "I quit" and walking off.

So, I've somehow been dropped into a weird alternate reality where I'm expected to be some sort of criminal, and there's another me back home?

What do you think?
