1st Pokeball - An Unwelcome Prank
The camera feed snaps on suddenly, revealing a creature somewhat like a fox staring directly into it before winking and placing a finger to its lips. It snaps to attention as a young-sounding voice calls out from behind it.
"Okay, Zoroark, time for rehearsal! Today it's Brycen-Man, okay?"
The outline of the fox-like creature - Zoroark? - shimmers and distorts, resolving into a strangely-dressed man. It walks away from the camera and takes up a stance across from a young girl in an equally outlandish outfit, who clears her throat before drawing herself up and pointing directly at the masked man the fox turned into.
"Hold it! The Messenger of Truth and Ideals, Riolu Girl, is here! Stop right there, Brycen-Man! I cannot allow your mischief!"
The masked man laughs at this. He snickers so hard, in fact, that the illusion drops, leaving Riolu Girl staring at him, completely unsure of what's so funny. Still snickering, the fox points at the video feed with one finger, the masked girl looking in that direction. Her eyes wide behind her mask, she scrambles for the table the COMP is resting on.
"AAAA! That's not funny, Zoroark!"
Staring directly into the video feed, she starts babbling frantically.
"You didn't see that! NOBODY SAW THAT. THERE WAS NOTHING TO SEE."

Kotoha takes the mask off and pouts a little.
"And I was rehearsing. You know. Because I'm an actress?"

[She's either trolling or honestly doesn't care what her name is. Or maybe a little of Column A and a little of Column B.]
So your movies are rehearsed in front of a live studio audience? Isn't that a little unorthodox?

A slight pause.
"For someone so cute, you sure aren't interested in people, huh?"

Video
"I dunno, I just meet so many people that don't notice how attractive they are that it's starting to bug me a little. Physical beauty is a top commodity in show business, after all!"

Kotoha beams.
"So what do you do for a living?"

At home, I worked for a Japanese government organization focused around the field of geomagnetism research. Here, I'm the network security administrator for the city.

"...hmm. Geomagnetism...where have I heard that before...?"
When she places it, she snaps her fingers and brightens up.
"Oh yeah! That's one of the primary forces behind modern teleportation technology, right?"
Video
...I wouldn't have expected you to know something like that, but yes.
Video
"Why wouldn't I? It's not like it's a particularly obscure discipline. Back home, you can buy short range single use teleportation devices at the corner store."
