Out tumbles a uniformed young man.

This is probably all really normal if you don't have a concussion. Kyeo's concussed plan for how to cope with this situation is: lie there on the street.

The kid runs away!

The cop removes a Pokeball from his belt and lets it fall to the ground,

releasing his partner.

Looking concerned, Frank and his partner Pokemon approach the young man and Frank bends down closer to him to ask "are you okay?"

"I don't speak that, I think," Kyeo groans.

Frank doesn't recognize the language. He opens up his phone's machine translation app, and directs Kellim to establish a telepathic link.

Are you okay?

"Not very?"

Not very, Kellim relays to Frank.

(His phone doesn't think those are real words in any language. Score for telepathy.)

She also sends a series of images of her own accord—Frank's own memory of getting a concussion playing football in high school, a Slowbro using Heal Pulse, the Pokemon Center down the street and around the corner, herself picking up Kyeo and carrying him.

(Kellim is more competent with human language than most Pokemon, with the exception of the Rotom in those new Rotom Phones, but it's still not natural to her. Fortunately, Frank does well at understanding her own preferred forms of psychic communication.)

"My partner Pokemon here thinks you're concussed. Can she pick you up so we can get you to a healer?"

(Kellim relays this, and all subsequent verbal communications by Frank or Kyeo.)

"...sure." He's definitely hallucinating but that's par for the concussion course. The gist sounds right.

Kellim scoops Kyeo up in her tentacles and carries him to the Pokemon Center, Frank walking beside.

Frank and Kellim walk through the automatic doors and Frank calls out to the nurse on duty.

"Hey, nurse! Got a concussed man here, can we have a Heal Pulse?"

"On it!"

The woman tosses a ball down next to her and a pink thing emerges.

"Bliss bliss!" says the pink thing, and it directs a wave of healing energy at Kyeo (and Kellim, on whom it's wasted due to her full health).

Kyeo's head hurts a lot less!

He's still hallucinating!

"...My head hurts a lot less but I'm still hallucinating."

"I bet you're seeing weird stuff, but I don't think you're hallucinating. I've seen that thing you came out of on the Internet, it's called a dimensional portal. They've had them overseas. If I'm right, it means you traveled universes. What are you seeing that's, uh, outside context?"

(Frank's phone still thinks Kyeo isn't speaking any known language.)

"The, uh, thing holding me, and the pink thing."

"Kellim and the Blissey? —holy crap, are you from a universe that doesn't have Pokemon? Do you recognize the word 'Pokemon'?"

"Can you guys sit down? I have other patients waiting in line behind you."

"My bad," says Frank, and navigates his way to a bench, on which Kellim sets Kyeo beside him.

Kyeo sits. "I do not recognize the word or the... telepathy...? 'Pokémon'."

How to explain Pokemon to an alien...

"They're, um, life besides humans or plants? They have magic powers, varying personalities or levels of intelligence, they tend to love to fight. —Nonlethally, within limits, but it's how they grow stronger."

"...animals?" says Kyeo, but not very hopefully.

"Unfamiliar. Kind of like Pokemon, but different connotations?"
