[after a few animalistic noises and N giving an admonishing sigh, the boy finally picks up his communication whatchamacallit and-- oh! imagine his embarrassment when he sees his pokémon had replied to someone.]

My name is N. Might I have yours?

A pleasure to meet you, Tatsuya. I trust you are well outside of your current situation?

As well as I could be, I guess. It's not like they'd try to kill me for not wanting to play along.
