That our ghost...?

(croak)

Yeah, I ain't buying this "no ghost" jazz. Something's afoot here.

-The armor begins to rattle, and shadows begin to gather and take shape in the empty space within it....-

Homura's Room

(The screen fades in a picture of Sayaka's face and hair. She seems to be looking down at the visitors.)

Sayaka: Uh...hey there, so I can explain... (sounds like talking through an older audio system)

-She disturbs the shelf and the rats, several ending up on her head and shoulders, one crawling down the back of her shirt-

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

Sayaka: "Ghost"?

Espeon: (shakes head) Espeon.

Sayaka: (looks over at Espeon) ...Ohhhh, oh no no no. Well, not really?

Well, what are you, then? 'Cause according to my Greninja over here, your Espeon's explanations are kinda confusing.

...At least, I think that's your Espeon. She is, right?

Homura's Room

Sayaka: Uh...yeah! That's me, I think - what did she say about me?

#1273816: Sep 13th 2017 at 4:34:52 PM

Nothing, nothing, just... that you were trapped in a sphere or something. And that's why she arranged for me to... bring that Espeon and Umbreon over here.

(glances back at Espeon, an apologetic look on his face)

Eheh... sorry about that, I totally forgot...

Homura's Room

Espeon: ...Espeon. (hops off the seat and walks past Hoshi to the sphere)

Sayaka: Ah...yeah, that more or less sums up the immediate stuff, I guess. I'm Sayaka Miki - I'd offer a handshake, but, uh...yeah.

...Right, right. Uh... I'm Hoshi Shougo—

(croak and wave)

—and this here's my Greninja. Er— just named Greninja.

(waaait... this idiot is the grade-A byronic badass that Lansie gushed to you about a couple times?)

Homura's Room

Sayaka: Hoshi, huh? Lansie's talked about you a couple times - nice to meet you.

Espeon: Espeon!

Sayaka: Gre-ninja, huh? Guess giving names isn't really a thing with Pokemon?

#1273821: Sep 13th 2017 at 4:54:51 PM

Heh, well... apparently it's a regional thing. Like, the Kalosi originally called it "Amphinobi..."

(croak)

...Oh! Oh, duh, I get what you mean. No, it really depends on the Trainer - I usually nickname the Pokémon I raise up.

It's just that Greninja here... he was originally trained by Lansie. She doesn't nickname her Pokémon, so by the time Gren was traded to me, he only answered to his species name.

Homura's Room

Sayaka: Ah... (looks over at Espeon...)

Espeon: (...who's scratching herself with a hind leg)

Sayaka: Guess I should pick a name soon if I'm gonna go with that, huh?

#1273823: Sep 13th 2017 at 5:03:18 PM

Oh— yeah, definitely. If I recall correctly, Lan said that you're set as Espeon's original Trainer. That means that, theoretically, the nickname registered in the Poké Ball can be changed just by you choosing to call her something different.

Though, yeah, they only usually respond to a name they're given early... the programming is just bureaucratic stuff.

Homura's Room

Sayaka: OK, so, just have to let Homura know. (looks at Espeon once more, then back at Hoshi) So, um...why'dya break the door down?

Eh...

(looks back at said door, then back at Sayaka)

...I... thought there was someone being held hostage by some sort of Ghost Pokémon?
