Bond 6 [@prof.sycamore; Video]

[Looks like another video post from a certain Pokemon Professor. Yet for some reason, he was glaring at the camera with his strangely dull eyes instead of his usual smile. Not only that, you may notice that he was not in his new laboratory or in his office at the university.]

Let me get straight to the point. I am challenging anyone that is willing to face against my Garchomp and my new partner. I don't care if you or your Pokemon has no interest to fight. I'm also willing for anyone with a sword or gun to fight against me.

I'll be waiting at the factory downtown. To all willing challengers, don't be late or else.

[The video feed abruptly ends there with no rhyme or reason about his intentions behind it. Maybe you should try calling the professor if you're worried or try to accept his challenge.]

There's something I've been thinking about over the past few months of being here: the portal appears to have a distinctly Human bias. I'm Human myself but I come from a universe with hundreds, if not thousands of other sapient species, yet the three of us who are here from that universe are all Humans. What's more is that no one else I've talked to here has ever encountered or even heard of the other people we share our galaxy with, no more than I'd known of Asgardians or Elves or the Prawn before I arrived. On the other hand, despite vast other differences in our realities here, most people seem to know about Humans, which seems strange to me. Surely there must be an infinite number of universes out there without Humans, right? So why are there no representatives of those worlds? Or simply more representatives of a wider variety of peoples?

Now, if this was one of the historical portals built by the inhabitants of the planet we orbit, I wouldn't think as much of it - perhaps they'd specifically target realities that were closest to their own. But if this one is supposedly a natural occurrence, then why this pattern of selection?

Any thoughts on this?

[Because surely, she can't be the only one thinking about it.]
