[The camera flicks on to reveal a young man with eyes so pale lavender and missing pupils that it might appear as if his eyes are white and unmarked at first glance. There's a small frown on his lips, and his eyes squint in a curious determination.
Through observation and intuition, he's puzzled out the purpose and general function of the device well enough to activate it, but unfortunately it has...so far...not provided illumination over where he's woken or how. Waking up after death is no surprise--it's happened more than once before, though the last time it happened to him he hadn't been as certain of his own death when he lost consciousness as this time.
Waking here, however...is less...understandable.]
Explain to me where this place is and why I've been taken. Have I missed the end of the war? [That seems the most reasonable conclusion: otherwise he would have been brought back out to the battlefield, wouldn't he?]

He frowns. In a world such as this, it would be better if he had the Byakugan to search for signs of seals...but either due to the lack of chakra, or because of his death and the sealing jutsu (he suspects the latter, of course), it is as unresponsive as his chakra.
He shakes his head dismissively of that particular theory.]
The power it takes to perform such a complex and ongoing jutsu, as well as whatever is draining our chakra before we can use it would be too much to expend without an express purpose. Surely there's a better reason than to collect animals.
no subject
[He'd had similar thoughts though, that there had to be some other goal for them to reach outside of the ones handed to them: traveling, winning badges, expanding their Pokemon teams. It was all a little too good to be true in a sense, taken from home to leisurely explore without much of a threat to be found.
What was the point in bringing them to a world solely to relax?]
If there is a higher goal or purpose, I'm afraid any knowledge of it isn't public. We're not in immediate danger at least- there's time and quiet to inquire and research as we'd like.
no subject
I see, then. Are there any of us working on this research together at the moment? [Group research would likely do better than independent, after all.]
no subject
It was hard not to follow that example, sometimes, he had to admit. The only real danger here came from the other arrivals- they were a complete wild card and there was no way to tell if what one learned about them was actually truth. But even then he'd hardly met anyone yet that he would call dangerous.
The Pokemon, maybe.]
Not particularly, though we stay in contact if we're not traveling as a group.
[Everyone seemed in a similar boat, sharing "common" knowledge, theories.]
But I think you'll find almost every person here wants to find out more, a way back home. If you're curious all you really have to do is ask and most seem willing to share what they know.
no subject
Well, Neji couldn't, at least. Such a carefree and easy path had to lead to destruction of some sort, he just wasn't certain what it was yet.]
Is that so? [Because so far it seemed more like he'd found only people uninterested in investigating, questioning, or returning home. Perhaps his perception is biased by the difficult introduction he had to this world, however.] Should I assume someone has gathered together all of the information discovered on this land into one place by now?
no subject
[Surely there would be a variance in how each person handled the situation, but the majority were rather friendly and open. Mostly.]
Most of the combined information deals with the various types of Pokemon and building a balanced team, but it touches on the current situation as well. At least, what we're supposed to believe.
It's a bit of a long read, but helpful nonetheless.

...He still doesn't know what to do with the messages about files that appear on the display, but then, when he leaves New Bark it will likely provide him with plenty of time to figure out how it works and read them.
For the moment he simply settles on nodding.]
Should I take that to mean you doubt the situational information in these?
no subject
But... as we've discussed, even with multiple sources validating the claim it's a bit fantastical.
[More so than anything else he could/had come up with though? That was the question really.]

[There's a bit of light teasing to his tone but he's definitely not being patronizing- if anything Minato would be happy to hear any new information from anyone.]
Until then I should probably let you get settled some, any further briefings can certainly wait. [We're not going anywhere.] The group I'm traveling with will be out your way within the week, and you're more than welcome to meet up with us if you'd like.
no subject
[He would love to theorize wildly with you, Fourth Hokage, but as things stand now he lacks the basic knowledge to make any serious attempts.]
In Violet, correct? I'll need to speak with Tenten when I arrive in Cherrygrove.
no subject
Mmn. We're in Azalea currently, but it's only a few days from Violet by flight.
[Be prepared to never get away from Violet, this will be their second stay in like a month 8|]
Tenten has a rather diverse team with several capable of flying, the two of you shouldn't have any trouble traveling once she reaches you.
no subject
I've been told to travel to Violet by other shinobi here, so perhaps it would be best to meet there.
[Just what is so special about Violet that keeps people there? Acceptable music, perhaps?]
I imagine we shouldn't. It should be a few days before then, however, so the timing should match.
no subject
[Helping the new arrivals settle in, challenging the gym, etc.]
Until then, travel safely.
[More pleasantry than any sort of warning, given his offered smile and subtle nod. Unless Neji had any further questions Minato would end his side of the conversation there.]
