Sender ID: peopleneedyou (Tadashi Hamada) featuring; Hiro Hamada (baymaxing) & Baymax
To: Everyone
Subject: Meet the Hamadas and Baymax
Warnings: None

[ The video post starts up to reveal the faces of the Hamada brothers, along with what looks like a red suitcase beside Hiro. Their location isn’t anything special, just somewhere inland on Elrut right now, but the elder brother is smiling anyway. ]

Hello everyone, I’m Tadashi Hamada and this is my younger brother…

[ Tadashi motions to Hiro. The younger brother waves, smiling, and turns his gaze from Tadashi to the phone. ]

I’m Hiro! And this… [He gestures to the suitcase next to him before purposely pulling off a plaster from his knee. His ‘ow’ in instinctive response activates the robot inside, causing Baymax to inflate and turn on, introducing himself with a wave. ]

Hello. I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion. I was alerted to the need for medical attention when you said ‘ow’.

You’ll be seeing Baymax around one or both of us often, so we wanted to introduce him and ourselves. I’m also interested in finding out if anyone had a temporary charging solution seeing as how I haven’t come across a power outlet anywhere yet. [ Tadashi holds up the power cord on Baymax’s charging station for anyone who hasn’t seen anything like it before. ]

Yeah, I’m not sure if the technology here is necessarily compatible—at least, not without some adapting or figuring on our part. Baymax is the priority. Even if it would be cool to actually use my handheld, it won’t die on me eventually. Tadashi and I were both pretty good with tech back home, but this might take some adjusting.

[ Hiro says, a puff of air from his sigh shifting his mess of bangs before he raises his hands in reassuring Baymax that he was fine given the robot approaches and wants to check him over. ]

On a scale of one-to-ten…

[ Tadashi chuckles as he moves to end the video recording for the post while Baymax tends to Hiro. ]

The focus comes with being what is known as a Pokémon Professor, along with the variety of fields that come along with it in their study and care. Supplying young trainers with what they might need here and there, though my focus certainly was able to move elsewhere due to Uva Academy doing the same for trainers.

[...likely why the Professor had been able to bury so deeply and go so long without contact that so few seemed to worry. Or reach out.

Really, better not to think about at the moment.]

I am easy to get a hold of either way.

Uva Academy. I just know school was kind of a drag for me. I never felt like I fit in, because everyone else was older than me. It all came so easily to me, so I'd get bored. Maybe it might have been different if I was in your world.

[Hiro shrugs, but he does nod at the other saying he was easy to get hold of. They know how to contact each other with these shellphone things. So this isn't too difficult. Once they figure things out and what they want and need to do for Baymax.]

Yeah. Right. Same.

The pride of the Paldea region in many ways. Perhaps so; there are students of all ages there, from young children to even adults. There is no limit for those who wish to learn more about the world, along with the basics.

[He did nod a bit, that smile still remaining-]

Do not forget you may do so, even if it is perhaps to see Miraidon again.

That's good that age wouldn't be an issue. I know my being so young might make things a bit trickier if I hadn't figured out how to impress the professors at SFIT.

[So, Hiro likes that. And hopefully, that would mean others there wouldn't be bullied just because they were younger like he was. He hopes so, at least.]

I'll come by to see Miraidon again. And show you Baymax. We can figure this together.

There are quite a lot there that would be far younger than you. Classes even have mixed ages, depending upon the subject; art, basic mathematics, and even Home Ec. can be counted amongst those.

The real division is based upon battling skill levels, and even those mix during free times.

[Any who wanted to learn, no matter their age, were allowed to. Of course those far younger were taken care of if staying on school grounds, last he could recall—]

I would be honored to meet Baymax and help however able, and I am sure I am not alone in looking forward to seeing you. Miraidon may not show it- or hide it as easily as they may think.

I'm so used to being in class with older kids. So that'd be a bit different. I haven't actually checked yet on if there's a school or something here.

[Does he have to go? Technically he is still a minor and all. But he's also aware his situation is kind of unique in being fourteen and being accepted to university back home, four years ahead of most his age. He does smile at the other looking forward to meeting Baymax proper, and Miraidon.]

Miraidon liked me, huh? I guess I just petted them the same way I would with Mochi. Instinct.

There is likely something akin to a school on Elah, otherwise there may not be too much on offer outside of hired tutors.

[Things seemed much different here, and education something the Paladins and those with the means to have that much money to spare did more for the fact they could than anything else. Hm. Perhaps a bit of that was something he could offer in his own spare time.

After speaking with Dojima after all; better to ensure he wasn't taking too much on his plate simply because he could.]

Indeed, but better not to let Miraidon know I told you. While better these days, they have something still of an ego- still, Miraidon has grown to enjoy the attention.

I hadn't figured to look into it. I've just been I guess focusing on learning where everything is. Ideas with what is available here for how Tadashi and I might be able to help while we figure things and settle in.

[Hiro chuckles at that. At the least, he doesn't need to deal with that with Baymax. The robot has no ego to be able to preen and get fond of all the attention he gets.]

I bet. Most here wouldn't be familiar with creatures like them. Of course people are going to be curious.

Honestly, learning through hands on experience may do you the best job here. Otherwise something could likely be found- when and if wanted, of course. I know that I have helped a few learn how to work with elemental crystals and gems for power sources and the like; it is a specialty of mine.

[The most difficult, and potentially dangerous parts was refining and shaping them to work with whatever was wanted. Perhaps part of why he worked so hard to produce quality; he could withstand the risk.

Turo still couldn't help the chuckle.]

Each of them are wonderous, and I am rather proud of how they have adjusted to this world. Miraidon's own time has done quite well to help feel secure, so the territorial behavior has lessened a great deal.

A reason I trust having Miraidon with me for certain errands, for example.

I hadn't considered here, but I've been distracted settling in and planning for what Tadashi and I might want to do here yet. But I'm not against the idea of going to school and learning about this place. It just might be a little trickier with all the travel.

[Hiro gives a shrug, but he does smile at Miraidon showing progress.]

Yeah, Baymax is gonna have a lot to learn about this place and everyone here. Once we figure sorting his charging situation, we'll probably keep him active out and about with us most of the time. But I guess that's good. I wouldn't have figured there might be as much territorial behaviour if they were the only Pokemon around.
