[Visible on camera would be two different dolls- the Substitute Doll, and the Poké Doll side by side, the Substitute nearly twice as large as the Poké Doll.

Then there was a sleeve as Turo picked the shellphone up in order to zoom it out so he was finally visible as well just behind the desk the dolls were sitting on.]

Hello, I am Professor Turo- the same one mentioned on one of the MANTA board quests for those that have given it a look. I am requesting help in order to test two objects very common in my world, and often used to escape dangerous encounters with creatures known as Pokémon- or simply avoiding a fight with a wild encounter if not wanted. This is to collect data, so that I may make future iterations of these two items better suited for this world.

I do not doubt there are some out there that would rather avoid harming a creature that feels it necessary to defend itself or its territory, given we are the ones stumbling into their territory more often than not.

Also, I felt it would be easier to put a face and ID to the name, given many have yet to meet me, and for those who wish to collect their reward in turn for whatever data may be collected from testing. Far easier for those who may have questions about the Dolls themselves as well.

[Don't mind the odd robotic creature just barely wandering into the bottom of the frame. It's fine.]

Truly remarkable I've never heard of anything quite like them; they do sound as though some of them are akin to familiars, but even those are not all created equal, and a creature that had such power would never be considered such.

[His own familiar is incredibly clever and a wizard in her own right, but sharp as Tara is, she certainly doesn't control space or time. No mortal can boast that.]

To have a single group that encompasses creatures much like wildlife in addition to beings of godlike power... of course, I realize you could never explain them in full in a single conversation. You've devoted your life to their study, yes?

Trainers work hard and strive to grow stronger with their Pokémon partners, which can form a bond so strong they can do the near impossible in the face of danger. It is quite the sight to see in action, and know that along the way some trainers form strong bonds with each other as well.

Pokémon are wonderful, mysterious beings, and we have been fortunate enough they are willing to form such bonds after their own tests to see if a trainer is right for them.

[It did not make traveling in some areas safer, given how pokémon started those tests.... Reason for the Poké Doll to exist.]

I have, yes. Everything that is still unanswered, always so much more to discover- or even rediscover as some knowledge has been lost over time. It is a wide world out there, and uncovering some mysteries can help both Pokémon and person be their very best.
