So.

As I understand it, we don't die here. People...appear in a town with their wounds healed, or illness cured, or the like. Or so I've been told.

...What happens to someone who dies of old age, then? Would they die over and over again, or...become young, or... [He waves his hand around. Mysterious mysteries.] How it all happens aside, I can't imagine what would take place. [...] Has it, ever?

Only if you die back in your world during your coma time. Otherwise it's not directly tied to it. In my opinion.

It's almost like, well, this world rejects the concept of death. If that makes any sense.

[...Put that way, yeah, it does make sense.]

That's a frightening thought. I'd not like to think it could be so...there are ghosts, right?

Yeah but that's of people native to this world. Ever check Yamask's dex entry? Give it a whirl if you haven't yet.

[The whole, they used to be people bit still gives him weird dreams.]

[...It takes a while for him to access that and then read it.]

...Hoh! [It's adorable. Kind of sad, but adorable.] So this one's a departed soul, at least. That's something. Some people say they've never heard of a person dying in this world at all.

Seems a bit weird, doesn't it? With Team Rocket's activity you'd think there would be more deaths.

Bit morbid, but it's true. Attacking cities and burning down towers and no one died? Someone is watching a kiddie movie. [He has his suspicions, but he's really hoping he's wrong. Really hoping.]

Anyone tell you about the time things weren't working right? By working I mean, the news report looked like some internet horror show. The music we always hear was running backwards. Stuff like that.

[...So that's why Team Rocket never seems to have much of an impact. Hmm.]

No, I've never heard anything about that. ["Horror show" isn't a combination of words that bodes well.] Why, what happened?

The news post was weird, like I said. Uh, what else happened. [He really has to think about it. What he did during that time was utterly boring. Hang out, make pasta, game all night.]

My best bro was glitching, kept appearing all over the place. There was also some pokemon that. Ok. Have you ever see when a file gets corrupted?

[the fuck is a] I...haven't. What do you mean, "glitching"?

Sometimes the stuff doesn't load so you get this garbled trashy picture vs what you should have got. It's a blip in the software, like getting a hole in your sock and sucks about as much.

Only picture your sock freezing and messing all of you up. That's a glitch.

[He understood approximately none of what you just said. Something about frozen socks and trash pictures.]

Uhhh. [any...ways] So, during that time - what were you getting at?

We might be in a controlled environment. You know?
We always have this background music. When you get five badges, you get a personal theme that plays when you battle.
There's a bunch of other things too.
Seems to add up, doesn't it?

[nope]

I don't see what you mean.

...

What era are you from?

[THIS QUESTION IS REALLY HARD TO ANSWER - wait, no, Leon seemed to get it when he said-]

Does...do you know what a samurai is?

...Yeah. Ok. So what technology are you familiar with? What's the most advanced invention you know?

...in my own world? I've been here for a while, I've used televisions and the like. [And he's using the PokeGear now.]

K. [Well that makes it easier.] You know how a tv has to pick up a broadcast signal. Imagine a whole world generated like that. The signal is what keeps it together. If it gets garbled or blocked, suddenly we have some big problems.

Following me this time?

[Not really.] Er...well enough.

You're still wondering what this shade wearing asshole is talking about. Aren't you.

[Oh my god.]

You know what. Why am I beating around the bush like this? I should have just said it all from the start. Our environment is fake and controlled by someone else!

There we go. That is nice and clear now, isn't it?

[Well, he's not looking at you like you sprouted a second head, anymore. A third nostril, maybe.] You...think so? Who by, then?

That's the mystery. When everything started acting weird, it seemed like the fake surroundings were breaking down. It might just be how this world works and I'm just paranoid. We'll see.
