Kim: “It’s Japanese. For ‘good... evening,’ I believe?”

Corphish: <Oh...! Okay! Welcome to Galreej!> (he turns to Kim) <And who are you?>

Kim: “Kimberly Bond, lingual consultant. Delighted to meet you.” (pauses) “I... don’t think they understand what Newspeak’s grammar fully entails...” (chuckles)

Corphish: <Oh, that’s fine. Few persons bellyfeel Newspeak.> (beat) <Can I teach the pokes and persons Newspeak?>

Kim: “Well... I don’t know. Based on Hatty’s reaction to you calling her species a ‘thinkhatpoke’, I don’t think they’d be able to understand you...”

Corphish: (sinks) <Oh...>

Kim: “Fortunately, however, I can, so if you say something, I’ll be able to translate it.” (turns to Ian and Evelyn) “What do you think of that idea? I’ll tell you about 1984 itself a bit later.”

Valhalla - Hallways

Silas gave Mireille a salute himself before stepping off. The next part of the quest was before him and his curiosity was getting the better of him.

Valhalla tunnels

With everyone on board, the Raichu conductor zapped the Tram into motion, and it sped off through the underground, many doors were passed, and many were marked "OFF LIMITS"

Autumn took the time to explain how this was a project that had been a dream of Zeke's since he was 17, 20 years ago, and the long road it took for the original 3, Zeke, Johnathan, and Carol to get together and make it a possibility.

Tassa listened rather intently, she had rather enjoyed history lessons at this point, Ganon stopped listening and decided to nap for what time he could.

The tram stopped and Autumn grinned, "Alright, here we are, research Center Valkyrie-1. Yes we're big on Mythological naming, as if Persephone, Olympus, and Valhalla didn't tip that off. If I ever get my own personal ship, I'm naming it Homer."

Evelyn and Ian: -think to themselves- Would learning Newspeak be a good idea?

Evelyn: -thinks to herself- Might help me use my psychic powers as magic better...

Me: -thinks to self- Might help me coordinate battles better...

Evelyn and Ian: -think to themselves- ...but I won't know what I'm saying... and neither will they... It's probably not worth the risk... but it also probably wouldn't hurt to try...

Valhalla Tunnels

-Ian thinks to himself "Don't say the obvious thing... Don't say the obvious thing..."

Elton: <Ooh! This is going to be so exciting...!>

Castle Lowclere, off the outskirts of Postwick

It is Lunar New Year at the McSweeney-Kwan castle. For Priscilla, so far the only member of the family there, the date was even more special. She and her pokémon have prepared a little something for one of their members.

Scrounger is wearing an outfit, rare for most pokémon that aren't a pikachu. It was an elegant [Qing]-era robe tailored for a rattata, including a cloud collar and a hat decked out with what appears to be jewels. Also, it is yellow, the color reserved for monarchs. She looked like a little rat empress, and she's certainly acting the part.

She sat surrounded by nian gao flavored poképuffs and a pile of mandarin oranges. Her enclosure has been decorated with miniaturized [Chinese] furniture that fits a rattata.

Murphy manifests beside her.

Murphy: <Liking your little palace? How does it feel like to be part of the one-percentage of rattata?>

Scrounger: <It's charming. I'm trying not to get too attached. Though since the outfit's mine to keep, would it kill them to have used real sapphires?>

Murphy: <Now, now, Scrounger, just because Priscilla's a millionaire doesn't mean you get to indulge your every frivolous whim. There are people who need that money more than you do.>

Scrounger: <Yeah, like the jeweller. But doesn't the Empress get what she wants all the time? Them's the rules.>

Murphy: <You and I may live with a princess but we're not royalty. We shouldn't let our good fortune get into our heads. It's bad enough that the world has the likes of Henry, Sam Laughlin, and Lord Macraul mucking about.>

Scrounger: <We're superheroes. Shouldn't that count for something?>

Murphy: <Point. Though the only reason why we're heroes is because we did the math and it's the cheaper short-term solution to taking criminal kingpins in court.>

Priscilla arrives. She takes out a small blue porcelain bowl and presents it before the queenly Alolan rattata. It's a tiny noodle dish consisting of one noodle.

Priscilla: Happy birthday, Scrounger. I know it's not to your precise standards, but it's your special day. The fact that it's Lunar New Year makes it more special.

Scrounger: <Hell, yeah. I love birthday noodles.>

Casa del Petersen-Sanchez

That night, the family has gathered to watch their favorite Ferrodrama, Noodle Shop Princess Dreams. A wild Tommy appeared. Jeff paused the player.

Jeff: Tommy, just in time. They released the full season, and the first episode is a bombshell!

Tommy: Hey fellas. Hope you don't mind that I brought a few friends over. You guys remember Gavin and Penelope. Meet Jon and his pory2, Walter.

Gimbal, via phone: Gurl, I love what you've done here.

Jonathan: Hello, eh. Cool place you got here, Petersen. So tidy.

Walter, via phone: Cozy little place you got here, Mrs. P.

Aunt April: No problem at all. A pleasure to meet you both. And thanks, Gimbal. You have impeccable taste.

Tommy: Did we miss anything?

Sara: Almost. Even the previews are riveting. It's winter, and Choon Hee is contemplating on something at the Bridge overlook in Neos City.

Tommy: Oh. Who was the mystery man she fell in love with? Does anyone know that she's the heiress to Kim Industries yet? This is the season where Ryan shows up, right?

Sara: Oh, Arceus yes! What's he like?

Shutter: He's cool. Laid back. Loves collecting maps. Looks like if a surfer dude got lost in a science facility.

Sara: Oh, god. He's like my second dream man.

Jeff: Me, too. Back off. I saw him first.

Sara: Talk dirty to me.

Tommy: Get a room.

Flash: Eh, he's a playboy. I'm happy with a guy who plays for keeps.

Shutter is flustered and holds Flash's hands, looking at her longingly.

Shutter, flirtatiously: Aww, babe. You're worth playing for keeps.

Flash: I'm leaving you for Tommy.

Shutter: What?!

Flash: I love your angry jealous face.

Shutter: I love the way you lie and somehow make me believe it.

Tommy sits down, slightly annoyed, beside his aunt. Jon follows not long after. They sigh.

Aunt April: I take it that you're also recovering from a breakup, Jon?

Jonathan: That makes two of us, Mrs. P.

Aunt April: Three, actually. Welcome to Lonely Hearts City. Population, us.

Gimbal flitted around. The Rotom was quite comfortable in the Petersen's home. She felt at peace here. She always had since Shutter started visiting the Petersens. Everything was strange yet familiar at the same time. Seeing Tommy, Sara and April happy in this setup was something she also came to love about the place.

<Hours later. On Netflix>

Choon Hee was summoned to her mother's office. She was forced to dress the part of a proper business heiress, a far cry from her humbler, happier appearance as the proprietor of a Ramyeon shop at the corner. She came to confront her mother, who wanted her to marry the vain Vice President Han before the holiday ends.

Choon Hee: I don't care about social classes or his excellency Vice President Han. I'm not afraid anymore, mother!

Chairman Kim: Choon Hee, I forbid it!

Choon Hee: I may be an heiress, but I'm also a woman!

Choon Hee tosses her fancy hat into the air. Her hair blows in the wind as she runs off, her mother powerless to stop her. She arrives at the overlook at night, where her true lover, Doo Hwan (played by Ryan), a down-on-his-luck writer, looks contemplatively at the Neos City Bridge. He does a dramatic hair flip as night falls on the city, surrounding them with sparkles. Choon Hee runs toward Doo Hwan but trips at the last moment, only for Doo Hwan to catch her mid air. They look longingly at each other before the credits roll.

<In Meatspace>

Jonathan: Yes! Yes! In your face, Mrs. Kim! <sobs> It's just like my life... in a way.

Tommy, teary eyed: Dreams can come true!

In the corner, Shutter and Flash had cuddled, as have Sara and Jeff. While Sara and Jeff had started sobbing and hugging each other tight, Shutter and Flash just kind of nonchalantly watched. Yet, they were mesmerised all the same.

Flash: Ryan looks so stupid with long hair. No hipster looks that well-groomed.

Shutter: Yeah. And those lines are so cheesy. And that glittering Neos City lights in the background is a bit much. I mean, it is pretty...

Flash: They make it sound so good, though. Hell, she even makes tripping look good.

Shutter: We can make them sound even better.

Aunt April, to Sara: They're just like your father and I.

Kim: (smiles) “Alright, then.” (turning to the Corphish) “You ready?”

Corphish: (nods)

Kim: “Then I presume this means class is in session.” (She looks up as the Corphish approaches her.) “Now... where to begin?” (then, to herself) “Well, I suppose I could start with the information in the appendix...”

Corphish: <“Appen... dix...?”>

Kim: “A section of additional supplementary material that comes after the book.”

Corphish: <Oh! The postwrite!>

Kim: (smirks) “That’s what you call it. Anyways... Newspeak is the language in 1984, as I already mentioned, and it has two distinct grammatical features: a complete interchangibility between different parts of speech and regularity. First, the former: any word in Newspeak can be used as either a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb. As an example, the word ‘thought’ does not exist in Newspeak. ‘Think’ already suffices— hence, ‘crimethink,’ ‘goodthink,’ and so on and so forth. All adjectives are made by adding ‘-ful’ to a base word, and all adverbs are made by adding ‘wise’. Ergo, ‘friendful’ means ‘friendly,’ which means Freddie, you have nothing to worry about.”

Freddie: (sighs with relief) <Thank god...>

Sinatra: <What about “fast”? What is that?>

Corphish: <“Speedful.”>

Dio: <“Talkative”?>

Corphish: <“Speakful.”>

Elton: <Ooh—! So what’s ‘I am a very fast Scorbunny’?”>

Corphish: <I am a plusspeedful firebunpoke.>

Elton: <“Firebunpoke”?> (he laughs) <Is that what you call me? What do I evolve into?>

Corphish: <Fireemobunpoke.>

Elton: <And what does that evolve into?>

Corphish: <Firekickbunpoke.>

Elton: <And if you’re a waterlobsterpoke, then... what’s Clauncher?>

Corphish: <Watershrimppoke.>

Elton: <Oh, yeah, Clauncher is a shrimp...>

Kim: (turns to Ian and Evelyn) “I think you can see how Pokemon names work in Newspeak?”
