[Semi Open] Para-Rotom Activity
WHO: Professor Turo and others, AND YOU.
WHAT: A Rotomphone Rotom got bored. And now it's your problem.
WHEN: April 7th
WHERE: The Newbie Apartments
WARNINGS: Close encounter of the zappy kind, mild annoyances.
[All this talk about haunted houses and seeing lost loved ones was sure to draw in spooky and supernatural activity towards the new visitors!]
[So if your lights start flickering, or your tv is showing weird things, your coffee’s coming out cold—
Just blame the ghosties, right?]
[And definitely not a very bored Rotom that decided since it’s owner has a NEW PHONE to play with, it could go find some fun elsewhere!!]
[Not like it was lonely or anything!!
So, during that day, weird and wacky things with everyone’s electronics would happen—!]
Closed to Rin Tohsoka and Archer Emiya: Food Fight
[The next time Rin was going to get a snack from the fridge, when she closed it—
Huh. Weird, why did the door open again?
And… weren’t some things out of place? The soy sause definitely wasn’t upside down before—]
Closed to Squall Leonhart: Not a Lofi hiphop to chill to--
[If Squall was hoping for a relaxing day, he might have a problem with that.
Because the music player in his apartment would suddenly decide to go off.
Blasting music that seemed to try and get your blood pumping—]
Closed to Mukuro Ikusaba: Daytime Rave
[Flick.]
[Flick.]
[Flick.]
[Odd; the lights in whatever Room Mukuro would find herself in just could not stopping flickering. It seems mostly random too, and if she went to turn off the lights, it would just flick on again—]
[Or if she wanted to turn them on, they’d flick off... and whatever it was... wasn't staying to one room.]
Closed to Soldier 76: Did you want coffee with your ice?
[—Odd. Hadn’t the coffee maker been going for a long time? And yet it still didn’t seem to be producing coffee… Even if the smell of coffee was filling the room! Had it broken?]
Network Post: Open to All
[Sometime later that day, a video would appear on the Network, a man wearing what looked like a labcoat and full body suit adjusting the Camera, and once assured it was in the right position--]
Ah, hello. Pardon me.
[Clearing his throat carefully.]
My name is Professor Turo. I am a Pokemon Researcher from the Region of Paldea.
I wanted to apologize, as I believe due to an error on my part, some of you were harassed by a Pokemon of mine.
[He’d take out a purple and white coloured ball, clicking down on the small circle in the middle, and—]
Bzzzt!
[ A little orange and cyan coloured smiling creature appeared in a flash of light, and was staring at the screen, with a GRIN on it’s face—]
[While the Professor looked at it with clear exasperation.]
This is a Rotom— an Electric and Ghost type Pokemon, known for possessing electric appliances and causing mischief. However, they also can be tamed to either fight with Pokemon Trainers, or be used in our own electronics, like Pokedexes, phones and bicycles.
[--Don't mind the shirtless, well toned, scarred up man who's face is covered by the towel he's using to dry his hair walking behind the Professor by the way. Nothing important to see here.]
I sincerely apologize if Rotom caused you any undo distress today. It will not happen again if I can help it.
If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them.
—Thank you for your time.
((Although I can’t reply to everyone to thread out the mischief Rotom got up to, please feel free to reply as if the little guys decided to bother your character!
Just remember, Rotom would not ever seriously hurt anyone beyond spooking them or giving them a minor electric shock to keep them away if it felt threatened! Also it can move through walls, whoops.))

[ He did not see at all. Were all teenagers so difficult to follow...? Following her statements had him frowning as his computations narrowed out what she said.
Translation: Apparently her friend had a habit of stalking others and creeping them out if she found them 'cute'. That's what he could determine. But they had worked out the problem, apparently... ? ]
Ah, yes. Rotom's initially were simply Pokemon that trainers could find and tame for battle, but some enterprising individuals realised that they could in fact ask tamed Rotoms to power our electronics.
[ The little Rotom made a bbbzzzt! Sound, closing it's eyes, looking all so smug and proud. ]
Which, considering much travel is done by foot in our world, means one would not need to worry about keeping your phone charged or finding batteries out in the wilderness. For their sake, they do seem entertained while traveling with us, as long as we pay them appropriate attention.

[ He pulled out his phone-- which had Rotom making a （︶^︶）face and turning away from him, opening the proto-pokedex app and turning it so the young woman could see the Pokemon in question. ]
But we also put a large focus on individual travel as a large part of our worlds culture. 'Pokemon Journeys' are something younger individuals-- people around your age-- go on to explore the world and learn about Pokemon and their own goals in life.
[ There was a sincerely fond smile on the Professor's face, a hint of wistfulness- he... he had not gone on such a journey, himself. But he had the memories of his original's... and seeing the journey through Julianna's travels. Shaking his head a moment, he pulled up a different Pokemon for the girl to see. ]
In the Region I am from, there's also cyclizars, which are Pokemon people can ride on for transportation. They are especially useful when children go on the yearly 'Treasure Hunt' at the Uva Academy.

You really have stuff like that happen in actual life? That sounds so fun! I totally wanna try something like that! Wait, I guess we're already here for an adventure anyway. But that sounds way more fun than school is normally! Do they hunt for actual treasure? Is it like a scavenger hunt or something?
