[The first thing you might notice on the screen is a bulbous pink nose. A nose from under which a massive, aburn, magnificent mustache extends off to either side like the bristles of two enormous brushes. Only then might you notice the glint of dark spectacles completely enshrouding the eyes of the one beginning this broadcast. As he pulls his shellphone away, you get the full picture; a rotund man that simply exudes the aura of a mad genius.]

Attention! As loathsome as it is to admit this, I appear to be stranded on this overly moist macrocosm like the rest of you. The accommodations I've found myself in are abhorrent, frankly, and I refuse to live like a deckswab. As such, I'm taking it upon myself to begin searching for more appropriate facilities so that I might continue my work. If anyone out there knows of any...let's say...recently vacated warehouses or factories...or, better yet, an island that I may lay claim to as my own, I can repay you with the knowledge that you've helped secure the great Dr. Ivo Robotnik a place where he can properly work. For the betterment of...everyone.

Apparently. Pah.

Oh, and if there's anyone out there versed in this "magitech" I keep hearing about, make yourself known! I'll have you disclose your findings so that I might better ascertain the nature of this technological power. Better yet, if you have anything worth disassembling, bring it to me.

But don't expect compensation!

Indeed! Rotoms are categorized as Ghost Types, and are attracted to electrical items given they have the second typing of Electric. Yet once they possess an item they lose the Ghost typing to become either Fire, Water, Ice, Flying, or Grass depending which appliance it is, or not.

We have companies that use this unique quality to invite Rotoms to possess things like phones and various machinery to act as AI to help those using it. Rotomphones are very common, as an example. [He did pause, thoughtful-] I could always see if I may be able to regain my Rotomphone, as I did a few of my pokémon.

[It was technically his, after all, and he had made use of it with the computer in Zero Lab-]

If you wish, I could demonstrate what I have managed to figure out with my own. Both for my own work, and if I end up having to defend myself either with or without my pokémon at my side. The hesitance can be understood, and even simply wondering if it would be useful at all from varying points of view.

[Eggman finds this all very fascinating but something Turo says catches his attention.]

"Regain?" What exactly do you mean by "regain?"

Honestly, Turo? I would love a demonstration of what you're capable of.

[A small nod-]

There is a marketplace on Eltrut, the RAY Trade Center, that one can go to and ask for certain items from our worlds in trade for specific amounts of coin or treasure. It takes a few days, and they may not always be successful due to the use of magic- like casting a fishing line into a void, almost. They also sell other items, some odder than others, and will take trades for certain items.

[A reason he had watched the pokémon returned to him in that way closely, in case something might have affected them.]

When you have the time I would be more than happy to. I can understand that seeing can be the best way to study it, after all.

[Wait, he can pay to regain things from his world? This is very useful information.]

As for how the RAY Trade Center works...do the items they fish for have to be my distinct possessions? Or can they be something specific from my world? Something that I may have once held but have since lost before arriving here?

[Like a Chaos Emerald.]

Yes, yes! I would love a demonstration and a chance to document your abilities!

I believe I re-call an outline when I asked- ah. Something that belonged to you is the easiest for them to 'fish' for through the rifts given the difficulty of doing so in the first place, but they can attempt other things even though it may be less likely for them to succeed depending on how common an item that has not belonged to you may be.

[As far as Turo could gather it seemed easier to grab generic items, or something tied to a person given what magical strings could still be attached through the rifts to their own world. It was fascinating, really.]

I can easily make time for you in order to do so, given most of my time is spent tasks and various projects of my own studies.
