Greetings, Rotomblr. My name is Franziska von Karma, international prosecutor. I am not of this world, though I have found myself here for some reason, having woken up one day in the middle of an empty park in a city called Castelia.
In other words, I am a Faller from a world without Pokemon.
Since then, I have been taking on the Gym Challenge, training alongside a few Pokemon and traveling throughout this Unova region. I have acquired four badges as of this writing, and fully intend to gain the remaining four as well.
My team stands as follows:
Eevee (F) -- Sayo
Magneton (X) -- Maxwell
Sigilyph (M) -- Cormag
Trapinch (M) -- Titan
There was a moment where I encountered a particular young fool with spiky blue hair named Hugh, as the two of us investigated a theft at a local ranch. He briefly had possession of my phone, but was courteous enough to use blue text to differentiate himself from yours truly.
I also have encountered a young woman named Iris, who I have learned is the region's Top Champion. She was alongside me during an investigation in Castelia, and used pink text to mark herself on the blog.
In Nimbasa, I received an unexpected phone call from someone I never thought I would see here... my partner from my home world. I am seeking her out now, and should I find her, she will use purple text - her favorite color.
OOC info under the cut!
OOC: Hi! I'm @casualgamefreak, starting to get a little more into this thing! Franziska is my blorbo from Ace Attorney, I am in LOVE with her, and I saw some buddies in one of my Discord servers doing this thing, and then I got the idea to throw Fran into Black 2, and it was on from there. Ghetsis will Suffer >:)

Man... time dialation is so weird on this site because I never know if my online friends are just offline or their time isn't aligned with mine. I wanna know how they're doing, if they've been well! I wanna know if they're still up for swapping recipes and stories. But I never know if it's an okay time to ask.
Not a lot's happened lately, we're celebrating Fran's fifth badge and we're looking at our next move from there - Fran wants to enter some kind of tournament and honestly??? with her squad??? she'll kick ASS.
That said, I DO have Sayo in my lap and she is purring up a STORM

Franziska stands opposite Clay in a dark battlefield, her Sigilyph opposite a Krokorok. Franziska scowls at the type disadvantage, immediately recalling the Sigilyph in favor of Eevee, whose Shiny form sparkles, lighting up the room for a moment.
"Now. As you are aware, I am here for more than a simple battle." Franziska crosses her arms as Sayo rushes forward, delivering a Return that knocks Krokorok back.
"Right..." Clay swings a hand, as Krokorok recovers, leaping forward and landing hard on the ground, shaking the field around him. "That Faller from the other day."
"Her name is Maya Fey." Franziska's whip cracks, and Sayo bursts forward, another blow landing and knocking Krokorok to the ground. "And I wish to know about the circumstances of her arrest."
Clay waits a moment, seeing that his lead isn't getting up, before recalling Krokorok. "Alright. I reckon I can afford an explanation." He reaches for his second Ball, throwing out a Sandslash.
"I was roamin' around on my break - it was three days ago, I reckon - when I heard an altercation. Lotta shoutin' - couldn't tell what was bein' said - before I see two folks fleeing from a lass dressed in purple." Clay waves his arm, and Sandslash burrows into the ground and quickly out of sight.
"Was there any sign of who was the aggressor in this situation?" Franziska scans the field for any sign of Sandslash.
"The lass in purple was chasing after them, shouting at them. Only made sense she was the one who started it. Disturbin' the peace, an' all." Sandslash bursts out of the ground underneath Sayo, launching her backwards.
"There was no sign of retaliation?" Sayo is uneasy on her feet, swaying as she launches a strike that all but bounces off Sandslash. Franziska grimaces and recalls her. "No sign it wasn't one-sided?" She brings her Sigilyph back out.
"Nope." Clay's Sandslash curls up into a ball, starts to roll forward. "Like I said. It only made sense she was the aggressor."
"HOLD IT!" Franziska's whip cracks, as Cormag takes aim, fires a Psybeam that sails just short of the target. "What did the people she was chasing after look like?" Another beam, this one impacting with Sandslash.
"Coupla guys dressed alike - didn't get a good look at 'em." Sandslash staggers, but tumbles back into his roll, slamming into Cormag.
"Dressed alike... were they perhaps in uniform?" Cormag fires back, in time with Franziska's whip, and puts a point-blank Psybeam right into Sandslash. Clay's second crashes to the ground, rolling a moment before uncurling, unconscious.
"I... suppose you could call it that. No sign of wrongdoing from them, though-"
"OBJECTION!" Franziska cracks her whip as Clay recalls his Sandslash. "Did these uniforms perhaps resemble Team Plasma uniforms?"
"Couldn't tell." Clay brings out his third and final Ball, sending out his final Pokemon - an Excadrill. "Do you have any evidence it was them? And even if it was, that they were doing something that merited Miss Purple to chase them?"
"TAKE THAT!" Franziska pulls out a cell phone, though not her own. "The defendant's cell phone, left accidentally in Nimbasa a few days before. She placed a phone call to this device not long after she was arrested." Cormag takes aim, releases a beam-
"The word of the defendant ain't a whole lot here. It ain't evidence she ain't lyin'." Excadrill shrugs off the Psybeam and brings a flurry of rocks down on the Sigilyph, forcing Cormag crashing to the ground, unmoving. "It ain't evidence that she was defendin' anyone."
"Grr..." Franziska grips her shoulder, recalling her downed Sigilyph. "Sayo!" The Eevee sparkles as she comes out once more, dwarfed by the Excadrill opposite her. "The fact still stands that she was-"
"OBJECTION!" Clay slams his hand on the desk next to him. "She claims she was helping someone else. But there's no evidence that the people she was chasing did anything to merit that action." Excadrill strikes, slamming into the ground, shaking the earth around Sayo. "She disturbed the peace, and she's sitting in jail as a result." The Eevee stumbles, and the next slash from Excadrill knocks her back to her Trainer, eyes unfocused.
Franziska's grip on her shoulder tightens as she recalls her fainted Eevee. "Titan!" She opens a Ball, sending her third and final combatant to the field - a Trapinch.
Excadrill's in motion fast, taking a swing at Titan, knocking him back a couple meters. "So," Clay huffs. "If there's no more evidence, then this conversation is over."
Franziska scrolls through her own phone, trying to keep one single eye on the beating her Trapinch is taking. Titan digs inside the ground, opening a small pit and drawing Excadrill in before leaping up, landing a solid blow and latching on with his jaw. Excadrill swings the arm with Titan attached, before slamming him into his other arm, trying to dislodge him.
A little more looking... and her eyes light up.
"OBJECTION!" Franziska holds up her phone, which leaves her hand and begins floating. "I have exactly the evidence that Miss Fey was merely righting a wrong!" Latched on to Excadrill, Titan begins to emit a glow.
"Eh? What's this, now?" Titan's glow intensifies as Clay squints. "Show me what you're on about!"
"TAKE THAT!" The phone zips over to Clay, showing him a single post from a social media site. "This post is of a video recorded on this very phone! It clearly shows Team Plasma fools, foolishly celebrating the arrest of a person matching Maya Fey's description!" The glow from Titan bursts, as wings begin to poke out of his form.
"This... this is meaningful." Excadrill finally knocks Titan off of his arm, but the Trapinch - no, a Trapinch no longer - simply hovers in the air as the glow bursts one last time before fading entirely. The newly-minted Vibrava stares for a brief moment before releasing a beam of crackling dragonfire towards Excadrill. Clay furrows his brow. "This changes things."
"It does indeed." Excadrill stumbles back, locking up with paralysis, as Titan turns, readies another strike. "Now END this, Titan!"
The ground shakes, Excadrill stumbles, and it's done.
Clay takes a moment before recalling his Excadrill. "...A finely fought match, challenger. You said your name was...?"
"Franziska von Karma." She curtsies. "And I trust that you see my point of view now?"
"Yep... you've convinced me. It's ambiguous enough that I should let her go. Due process, and all. And..." Clay reaches into his pocket. "I can't forget the badge, either. You earned that, too."
Franziska strides over, passing by her Vibrava, extends her hand. Clay takes it, shaking, pressing a badge into her hand. "You're free to go. And... Maya Fey is, as well."
"Thank you, Gym Leader Clay. I am glad we could come to an understanding." Franziska smiles.
Oh no almost definitely not lol. If you think you can work your phone camera someone will be able to ID it though. -⚰
I cannot emphasize enough how unlikely it is that I will be capable of that in the near future. Or at all.
The creature is... brown? With a white tail that I suppose the best colloquial description for would be, perhaps, "poofy." That tail is wagging, strangely enough.
That... almost seems to fit the descripton of Eevee. Brown creature, poofy white tail. I have one of my own, actually, although...
[Image description: A Shiny Eevee is loafing in the center of the shot. Contrary to the usual brown coloring and cream-colored fluff, this Eevee is cream colored overall with white fluff.]
...Sayo is special.
Here is another reference for what Eevee usually look like, sourced from the Internet.

Sayo is what is known as a Shiny Pokémon - the difference mostly being in her coloration and the existence of a sparkling effect when she is released from her Ball. It is this latter effect that gives Shiny Pokémon their name. I am told they are quite rare, and the fact that Sayo remains the only one I have encountered even with the time I have spent in this world supports this conclusion.

Your name sounds familiar. Does the name Apollo Justice ring a bell? He's my childhood friend. I think he might've mentioned you before.
That... is a familiar name. He is one of the two lawyers that's begun working in the past couple years for that spiky-haired fool Maya calls a brother. Apollo Justice is a loud man, and frequently jumps to foolish lines of questioning that only end up hurting his case, but I must admit that at the end of it, he is nearly as formidable as his foolish mentor, which is no small feat.
I look forward to seeing both him and his fellow newcomer in court again someday, if I were to return to my home world. That other newcomer - Athena Cykes, her name was - had quite the reaction to seeing me in action for the first time.
ok. so. uh. things have Happened. I'm physically fine, I didn't even get lightly stabbed this time. but
the bar got broken into. I didn't get there fast enough to... my options were pretty much to either try chasing the assholes who broke in or to make sure my boss was ok. picked the second option which was ABSOLUTELY the right call they're in the hospital and their umbreon's pokeball got so fucked up that it's literally not safe for him to be in it rn. so i am pokesitting and also waiting for them to be released from the hospital
nnnnot sure what got taken. or if anything got taken. what i saw of the place was trashed, like they were looking for something, I was. a LITTLE more concerned with getting my boss to the fucking hospital
anywayyyyyyy I don't have proof it was the fuckers who have been threatening my boss for the past, like, month? but I'd be willing to bet a LOT of money that it was them :/
Hmph. Those foolish miscreants will face justice, even if I have to figure out dimension-hopping to deliver it myself.
In the meantime, gather any evidence you can, even if it seems irrelevant. I know I have seen the most innocuous things become the most vital pieces in proving the truth.
It is a relief, however, that no one was severely harmed by the foolish actions of these burglars.
The road from Nimbasa to Driftveil is not a long one - I am here in town now.
[Image Description: Franziska is standing near a fountain in a dusty mid-size city. A large red drawbridge can be seen in the background. Curled up at Franziska's feet is a Shiny Eevee, joined by a Trapinch. Floating on either side of her is a Magneton and a Sigilyph, both staring intently at the camera. Franziska is not holding the camera, instead having her arms folded - perhaps the picture is being taken by another party, or by the Sigilyph levitating the phone.]
[An audio log of a phone call, placed from a landline to a cell phone at 2:03 PM on a Sunday.
Franziska's voice is first to be heard. "Hello? von Karma speaking."
Another woman's voice is heard on the other end. "Franny! Oh, thank the Holy Mother, it's you!"
Franziska breathes an audible sigh of relief. "It is... good to know you are well enough to have this conversation, Maya."
"Yeah..." a sigh from the other end. "It's... not the greatest, but I'm here, so..."
"Where are you right now? I am looking to leave Nimbasa soon."
There's a pause before Maya speaks again. "...you're gonna hate me."
Franziska's voice softens. "Maya Fey, I could never hate you. Please tell me where you are."
Maya's voice drops. "...i'm in jail."
Franziska lets out a long sigh of frustration. "Of course you got into trouble. Where are you so I can help resolve whatever misunderstanding has happened?"
"Driftveil. Some cowboy guy saw me helping a guy out and thought I was clearly the one in the wrong, and..." A frustrated groan. "Every time..."
"Do not worry, Maya Fey. I am headed to Driftveil as we speak. I will get you out of there. I will see you soon, schatzi."
Maya's voice is low, but resolute. "See you soon, darling."
